I am not a spic. I am not a honky. I am not a nigger. I am not a chink. I am not a redskin. I am not a mackrel earter, a rag head, wop, holy roller, slope, punk, puke, pig, or pirate. Neither am I a democrat, republican, californiain, or any other state, in truth I am not an american. Don't be surprised, for neither are you. What we better learn fast is what we are, so we stop banging into other. Bottom line reality dictates the truth, and that is simple and primary. What we are is human beings, residents of earth, and when we accept this inalienable fact we have established a foundation upon on which we can build a solid structure of society. One that is good, kind, caring for the welfare of all residents, and our home, for if your home is not secure, neither are you.
Regardless of our military might, mother nature is the ultimate ruler, judge, jury, and executioner, military might is insignificant to her, so we better honor her dominion. The appellations above are merely sub-donains, distracting us from seeing the home page. We sho believe, must tell the world, "to thy ownself be true," "judge not lest there-by you shall be judged," or in my words, "let us take care of ourselves, and leave God's work to God." Self, here lay the ingredient upon which the entire measure of a society is determined. I have never met a person that I hate, for that is a negative feeling and I refuse to allow another to place me in that place. It is far better to keep your feelings on the number scale from infinite positive to zero. Thats right, zero. If they are that onerous, feel nothing for them, (far less stressful). It is like the excuse given when caught stealing from a person, "well they stole my VCR, and I am getting even." The question I ask is, "did you like it or think it right when they stole your VCR? The reply is always, "no." I then must inform them the truth. When you thought you were getting even, what you really accomplished was to take on the personna of that you did not like. For you did exactly what they did and are no better than they. "Well they did it first." That is analogous to taking a life, after all somebody in history did it first, so I guess that makes it OK. We are guilty of confusing what we do, and where we are---with who we are, and fail to see what we can be. NO ONE YOU MEET IS OWED RESPECT. HOWEVER, THEY DESERVE THE RIGHT TO EARN IT. ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE OWED COURTESY. WHAT I SHOULD BE Let us take the above statements and structure them in their order of application. I shall then show the order operation of achievement, for it is my belief that they have an exact yet inverse relationship for attainment. I shall do the first section as a web site is structured for reference and then I shall apply societal structure which should insure its accurate functioning. HOME PAGE 1. RESIDENTS OF EARTH (THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN OUR SURVIVAL) 2. HUMAN BEINGS--HOMO SAPIENS=BI-PEDAL PRIMATE AND WISE, DISCERNING. WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO VALIDATE THIS. SUB DOMAINS 3. NATION. 4. STATE. 5. REGION. 6. COMMUNITY. 7. FRIENDS. 8. FAMILY. 9. SELF. This is the basic outline of our responsibility for survival and I see only one guaranteed method of achieving this needed result. Here is where the exact inverse relationship applies, as you read this apply reason and logic before you apply emotion and pre-conceived beliefs. “The greatest impediment to the truth is belief”, “Just because you choose not to accept or believe, does not mean it is not true”. Sapiens=wise, discerning, let us embody that definition. It is common conjecture, our world is in trouble. There-fore can this be a bad idea, we must try something? This is, I feel, a better approach than any plan I have heard. WHAT I MUST BE 1. SELF- here laid the ingredient upon which the entire measure of a society is determined. “No lake is pure if its drops are polluted”. It is vital we strive in ourselves to represent that which we want the whole to be. 2. Family- these are the people you will know longer than any-other, if you cannot form a binding relationship here how can you hope to relate to others. Family is part of our foundation upon which we structure all other relationships. 3. Friends-these are people we know and who know us in all our virtues and flaws and still accept into each others lives. A person, who in his lifetime can count on the fingers of one, hand their friends, is, indeed, a wealthy person. The greatest crime we can commit against our friends is lying, for when you tell a lie you place that person on a path based upon that lie. We will all have many acquaintances; however, friends can only come with time. 4. Community- it should now start being apparent, if we have each cemented the previous listed relationships our community cannot help but be secured. 5. Region- if our communities are secured our region prospers and is likewise secure. 6. State-I believe further dissertation should be banal pontificating, for logic should now guide your progression of thought. 7. Nation-we have built the foundation well, there-by the structure is sound. 8. Human beings-we have established the manner of relating and must apply this with consistence for all people. “We are not of the white, black, red, brown, or yellow race; we are the entire human race”. All differences of religion are God’s business and he doesn’t require our interference. If you are a believer, then honor him by getting you right and he will be well pleased. 9. World-all before, if done well, cannot help but honor our MOTHER THE EARTH. I lay this in the court of public consensus, is this logical, true, worthwhile, worth attaining? Then we must begin with ourselves and stay the course. Think of the construction of your house: do you not want it sound from the first ingredient to the last? Well in society that first ingredient is SELF. WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORLD WE INHABIT.
