~ ~ ~ Me Absolute & Tangible Practices ~ ~ ~

Since the conforming years of 1940s and 1950s – and the liberating years of 1960s and 1970s – a growing selfishness began spreading profusely through the nations.  Though the problem of selfishness goes back to the beginning of mankind and is part of nature itself, the hypocrisy most every person holds since the 1970s produced a growing disconnection from social recognition of others.

       More and more people have found that ridiculing others is a fast, handy tool to elevate one’s self – throwing mud at people, hoping something sticks.  Those problems are now progressing into the 2020s and threatens to continue for years to come. 

Are we, as a population, going to allow such progression of selfish involvement to continue?  It would appear so.

~Paths to Discord ~

History has shown the self promotion of people. Throughout history, people have self-declared their own providence, seeking the fortunes built by others, claiming such fortunes for themselves.  This is a habit still being exercised by managers, businesses, politicians and is spreading throughout the population.  For decades, this behavior has been exercised by individuals through lawsuits and special interest groups through demonstrations.  Such lawsuits and demonstrations demand personal recognition without recognizing the efforts of others.

       The practice of forcing others to capitulate has been prevalent in many stretches of history.  In that forceful capitulation, cultures and civilizations have been destroyed as inferior or immoral, primarily because they practiced different customs that conquerors could not profit from.  If those ‘Other People’ don’t change their ways of thinking and pay tribute, they had no right to life, property or prosperity.

       For centuries, Europeans of faith held a general view of superiority over others – a superiority they felt obligated to press on other unique peoples, destroying those other cultures.  Many ‘rules of decency’ has been pressed on others in the view of superior providence.

       Nowadays, people speak of equality and respect. Yet, in similar fashion as done in the past, they selfishly promote themselves as superior.  They also maneuver, manipulate and extort others for personal gain, doing so while flaunting a façade of acceptance regarding the unique qualities of others.

       Under their false façade, people are disinclined to recognize the efforts and qualities of others, forcing their own position above everyone else.  They would dismiss their own faults while undermining superior qualities of others.

       Considering the ‘Me Too’ and other promotional movements in the early Twenty First Century and one would see how this is still progressing.  Each of those persons needs to reflect on the implications of their pressures within societies.  There are many signs, banners and flags of discontent, demanding equality. Each have dangerous implication when viewed with broader vision.

       These movements are not about equality.  They are not about treating someone with equal respect. Such promotions are, at the core, about how they can gain selfish superiority through manipulation and extortion; promoting and maneuvering themselves at the expense of others.  They are truly declaring; “Me First” or “Me Absolute.”

       None of these movements are about recognizing qualities of each person. In not praising the qualities of other people without conditions, they show the true selfishness of their demands.  Should the boisterous people be forced to give compliments to others, it is always applied with conditions; “That other person does all right, though I know I would do better if given a chance.”

       Such behavior is about ‘Me Absolute’ – not how they can add to the accumulative qualities of all unique peoples.  Such selfish people are not interested in recognizing the qualities of others.  It’s about forcing others to capitulate to their own personal desires, wishing others to pay tribute to them exclusively.

       If each person who demanded recognition for themselves would take more time to recognize the accomplishments of others, they would see the value of those other peoples.  Each person demanding recognition must present their own qualities in Tangible Practices – not verbal promises of future efforts. If they did so, their qualities would be more apparent, having truer value.

       Each person must not simply declare they’re superior in their field. Each person must be recognized as such through their Tangible Practices – not verbal promises.

       To reiterate, each person needs to take time to acknowledge true admirable qualities of others – not just accept the verbal promises of future efforts.  Also, they themselves must also demonstrate their own qualities.  Actions speak considerably louder than words.

       Whether intended or not, settling out to destroy the reputation of others by slinging mud for the intent to remove opposition has consequences that damages social harmony.  We as a collection of unique people must find a more just manner to form more harmonious societies without shoving people out of the way by any means possible for the simple gratification of stepping into their position as winners of mud slinging contests.

~ Simplicity of Discrimination ~

It’s a simple matter to declare a discriminatory effect, disqualifying people based on aspects beyond Tangible Practices. In the suppression of peoples, the spoils of victory go to those who can pressure, manipulate and extort outcomes for personal gain – no matter who is crushed in the effort.

       In the effort to crush opposition, it’s become common practice to accuse anyone as being discriminatory or to label someone with identities still appearing socially dysfunctional or despised.  Those persons who are discredited become worthy of banishment.  If the person in the way is considered an ethnic majority, declare a presence of rampant racial harassment, demanding the expulsion of the obstacle.

       If obstacles are men, accuse them of sexism and sexual harassment, demanding the expulsion of such offensive persons. 

If the person is a homosexual man, declare him a faggot and find some other means to dismiss him, since most states say doing so on the identity is discriminatory.

       Lesbians are generally more accepted than hommgaelen (homosexual, gay masles).  Men with homosexual tendencies may have been given greater protections, though it is a simple matter to find opportunities to deny such people growth.

       If the person suffers from alcoholism or is an addict of drugs, declare them unreliable and force them out.  Those in polyamorous relations are viewed as deviant and need to be thrown in prison for their broader sense of relations.

        The simplicity of discrimination goes well beyond accusations. Victorious accusers of such declarations would fill the vacuum left in the wake of expulsions.

       Balancing social decency with self-superiority it is hard to achieve.  The liberty of self-expression is important in order to maintain clarity within any society, as well as a means to prevent the forced application of social homogenization – not to be mixed up with social harmony.  However, freedom of self-expression must not become a means to promote oneself without true merits of accomplishment.  Demanding recognition without Tangible Practices is damaging to social harmony.

       Recognizing that many social slogans and movements may shine light on injustices, though also may hold far reaching damaging effects on societies.  Also, recognizing slogans and movements as potentially dangerous consequences is not to be seen as fuel to suppression of population in support of established nationalism.

       Declaration of ethnic-gender superiority has been a dangerous plight on societies throughout history – a plight having considerable roots beyond the United States and other regions of the world.  We must recognize the unique qualities and merits each person, gender, community, kithavily, and so on bring to societies.  We must also recognize how each person strengthen societies with tangible contributions.

       Progress is needed to ensure people of merit gain balanced recognition and are not tossed aside by simple declarations and slogans.

       People should be recognized for their unique qualities; and people seeking recognition must recognize others for their unique merits, as well.  All unique persons have value and each must present Tangible Practices to demonstrate such talents – not simply demand recognition for verbal promises.  There’s a great deal of self-promotion without Tangible Practices. Just look at politicians of any gender or shade, and would see that is true.

~ Feminine or Feminists ~

Gals talk a great deal about what guys are to do for them; treat women as queens; cater to their whims; respect them in every way as equals, etc., etc., etc.  There’s been more and more promotional pressure on societies to accept women as superior – not equals.  Consider remarks about dancing backwards in high heels or the ease of working twice as much for half the credit.

       There are many such jokes to demean men, though the public is not allowed to discuss that.

       Reflecting on the ‘Me Too’ movement and the accusations of misconduct and rape, it is clear that the current movement is about social position climbing – not justice or equality or equality.  Accusations demand the expulsion of men from position, not a legal process through the justice court system.

       Open positions created by accusations allow the placement of women in such position.  This is not about finding quality people, no matter the gender.  It’s about manipulating and coercing one’s own position at the expense of others by any means necessary.

       The current movements are not about equality.  If it was about equality, each and every woman would set out to recognize the favorable qualities of men without conditions.  Without women recognizing the qualities of men, the implication is that women feel themselves superior.

       Each and every person are to be recognized for their merits and dependability – with the understanding each has faults. Each and every person must evaluate and present their own faults before criticizing the faults of others.

       If honesty was part of the discussion, many femellas would see that they are not superior – and many men would see they are not either.  Extremely few people of any identity are reliably effective in their abilities, though each will fly banners to declare themselves as competent.

       Much has been said over the decades about how women are to be treated by men.  In keeping balance; ‘What are gals to do for guys?’

       The question seems sexist these days.  Yet to ask what guys must do for gals is not sexist. How is this considered equal?

~ Finding Balance ~

In order to find balanced solutions to the difficulties these societies face, there are a few principles each person must always keep in mind.  To approach such solutions, people must recognize and accept Tangible Contributions of other unique people – a very hard approach for most to accomplish.

       To further step towards social solutions, one must be willing to recognize that no person is the same – and the homogenization of societies is dangerous.  In their distinctions, each unique person has qualities that differ from others.  This goes for every femella and masle of any shade. Each person being different is something that must always be recognized before balanced social solutions can be possible.

       Other solutions conclude this article – and more are scattered throughout other Arinorin articles.  None of the other solutions will matter, if people don’t understand the differences of people and the qualities each bring to societies.

~ Our Place in Nature ~

For the difficulties facing the genders of our species, one must understand the role of biology, accepting that biology holds an important influence with the progression of societies.  One must keep in mind that any attempt to circumvent the role of biology and natural manners of sapient humans has instigated great difficulties and strife in all the societies throughout history.  One cannot ignore – or redefine – the importance biology or natural manners play in the sapient human species and how those qualities must be included within societies.

       Movements to reject these qualities and manners is dangerous and people do so at the peril of societies.  The roles of nature in the modern world are often rejected, with people believing sapien humans are beyond the animal kingdom – that their intellect can outweigh the root of their inner behavior.

       In rejecting the natural side of the sapient species, people continually create discord without understanding why there is disruption in societies.

       Selfish expectations play into the discord, as well.  To find balanced solutions, people must see their own role in the discord and how their natural self influence many of the rifts permeating the societies.

       A general understanding of sapien social biology is needed to conceive the importance of the unique qualities of each person and gender bring into societies. 

       It’s hard for many to conceive biology as an important route in the harmony of societies.  The simple discussion of birthing and carrying of children by women is perceived as sexist.  Such consideration is dangerous for the species. In the evolution of sapient humans, biological qualities of gals and guys created certain necessities.

       To redefine the biological qualities and natural manners because it’s inconvenient has created considerable discord throughout societies.  Honest recognition of unique qualities must take place to find balanced harmony of the population.

~ Unique Styles ~

Each person has their own style and such styles differ from other people’s.  Not everyone will appreciate the styles of another.  This does not mean they are being discriminatory.

       Those preferring Rock music over Disco does not discount the danceability of Disco.  The roots of Rock gain its roots R&B and Blues and should become recognize as part of the evolution of music, not creating rifts in societies, even if the styles are not appreciated as an art form.

       Gothic rock is hard for a great many people to appreciate – with a great many declaring the art form as noise.  If a person doesn’t appreciate reggae, it’s not necessarily a reflection on the complexion of the person.  Rappers of fairer shades are not invading darker communities or stealing their culture. Consider it a reflection of appreciation for the music style.

~ What’s in a Name? ~

Names and titles have social influences, whether favorable or derogatory.  The British use of ‘Yankees’ for the American Colonists was derogatory; yet most every American took the term as a badge of honor.  Being born out of wedlock labeled a person as Bastard. There are many terms and phrases meant as derogatory.

       Other words have been used to demonize groups of people.  Take Pagan for instance.  It is viewed as a person, or group of people, who lack religion – even though Pagans have beliefs.  This was pressed upon societies through another group a people who demanded superior recognition.  They forced their faith on the varied Pagan peoples, disqualifying Pagans as heathens; declaring them unsophisticated, filthy, diseased, immoral, and so on.  In their zealous, non-inclusive behavior, the righteous people lynched or burned Pagans at the stake for their despicable behavior.

       The Native Americans of the past were brutalized and slaughtered, with a great many derogatory terms and phrases attached, including, ‘Savages,’ or terms such as, ‘The only good Indian is a dead Indian.”  Even today, the Native Americans are brutalized and discriminated.

       Those having ‘abnormal sexual deviancy” is easily labeled and forced to the margins.  Butch lesbians, faggots, queers, etc., even polygamists are labels to suppress a wide array of population.  Such peoples have suffered ridicule and discrimination over the decades and centuries.

       Drunks, alchies, dead-beat addicts are lazy and don’t wish the help of others and should be removed from societies, and thrown in prison for the unsocial behavior they exhibit.

       Such labeling goes on and on, and on – and is everywhere.  Each of these labels could be defused by acknowledging the word and accepting its basic meaning.  With more and more people being born out of wedlock, proudly declare; “Yes – I’m a Bastard. There was no reason for my parents to be married.”  “Damn tootin, I am an American Yankee and we kicked those Redcoats back to the British Isles.”

       Each person should be proud of their heritage an identity, whether or not their parents were married, Native Americans, gay-lesbian, polyamorous, someone from China or African Continent – even those from European nations with all their brutality.

~ ~ ~

       On the flip side of the same coin; threats are real, no matter where they originate from.  The display of nooses is a legal matter related to harassment and threat of bodily harm, and must be prosecuted as the crime it is.

       Extortion, no matter the reasons – whether a means to demonize other persons or raise one’s false façade – must not be accepted or legitimized. 

       People must never benefit from the extortion of others, including those throwing mud to remove obstacles.  This also applies to the extortion by those who press the ‘Me Too’ agenda.

       If the rhetoric is to recognize a diminished group of people, then we must talk about the full qualities of every unique person.  If it is to press a different group of people into subjugation, then those raising banners are equally at fault as the generations in the past who sailed forth to plunder, subjugate and murder many groups of people, including the Native Americans, Celts and those from sub-Sahara Africa cultures.

~ Education & Experience ~

Many people gain higher learning degrees, flaunting such achievements as their absolute badge of honor.  Many of those persons have little else to present as Tangible Practices. Such degrees are only a beginning – even for those who have doctorates.

       On the other side of a similar coin; life experience is only useful if it is evaluated and applied with wisdom. Simply declaring one has life experience does not equate to Tangible Practices.

       At the roots, education diplomas and degrees show that the person was able to conform habitually to the requirements of institutions.  What is done with such diplomas and degrees, as well as the knowledge gained, is more telling by many factors.  What service, products or creative endeavors had such people accomplished for the benefit of societies and other unique peoples – or did they selfishly flaunt their diplomas or degrees as their badge of honor with few other merits to present with them?

      It’s a simple matter for many to sit in lectures and take exams to gain diplomas and degrees. It’s another matter entirely to venture beyond what was learned for the creation of fresh concepts, bringing those fresh thoughts and concepts to societies for the benefit of many beyond them.

       It’s a simple matter to parrot what had been learned, forcing those principles as a means to control others.  It’s another matter to apply unique thoughts and concepts when the environment becomes chaotic.

       How one responds to more chaotic environments shows the true adaptability and creative nature of a person – even leadership qualities.

       Managers often flaunt the notion of leadership.  However, there are distinctions between managers and leaders, though managers will dispute this, believing they are leaders.

       If the person has to rely on their formal education, or collect views of others before venturing on a course of action, they are managers – not leaders.  This is an important distinction and it is rare for any person to have true leadership qualities, including U.S. Presidents.  Qualities of leadership go well beyond the highly educated and managers must understand the difference, as well as their limited role in societies.

~ Changing the Direction ~

It is extremely difficult to change course without social discomfort. Saying ‘discomfort’ here is milder than the pain people seem to feel when they are going through change.  However, if we as a population are going to make a more balanced society that respects the Tangible Practices of each unique person, then this situation must change.

       To view a situation with all the layers, one must acknowledge the Tangible Practices of others.  It is hoped that people may view the accomplishments of others, breaking from the empty self-promotion and demonstration prevalent these days, even if it is uncomfortable for a time.

       Each person must honor the Tangible Practices of others without conditions.  Don’t dismiss the contributions of others because one won’t profit directly from it, or to be upset when someone gains more for doing more.  This will be quite difficult for selfish and envious people who will demand recognition for themselves, even if they don’t provide Tangible Practices.

       For those with wisdom, there are ways to lessen the discomfort, though each person has to accept the true qualities of others, no matter who they are.  This does not mean people will enjoy other people styles; only that they are to acknowledge the accomplishments, and that styles are a personal expression.  If someone doesn’t care for the style, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re against the person as a whole or the Tangible Practices presented.

       With those pertinent considerations in mind, the following is presented in a hope to bring people into a society having widespread harmony of the unique peoples.  For that purpose, let’s review and grow in a direction of social harmony by acknowledging the following:

• · Know that people have their own styles that may not be appreciated by everyone.
• Know that all people are unique and worthy, and effort is needed to find honest qualities and Tangible Practices in other people in order to praise someone, and such praise must be presented without conditions.
• Know that if people don’t like a quality, it is not necessarily a reflection on the person’s identity as a whole.  Furthermore, in discovering someone is not receptive of a quality, one should not press accusations that it reflects the whole of the person’s identity.
• For those who are judgmental to the whole of the person – whether complexion, faith convictions, lack of faith convictions, gender, gender preferences for intimacy, etc. – such persons have a more difficult façade to remove and should be helped along and pitied.
• Calmly helping people into harmony is beneficial for all unique peoples in society. Also, each person must realized that in expressing faults and criticisms of others, one is being judgmental and must tread carefully in doing so.
• Don’t allow people to benefit from their ridicule of others. Ensure declarations leveled by anyone has merit and is clearly a common manner for the person being accused. Also, ensure accusers – including those who join in later – are not doing so to better their own personal position at the expense of others.  Don’t let accusations become a means of profiteering.  Such allowances create an environment bullies thrive in.
• Each person who voices accusations must do so with the understanding that such accusations is not to elevate themselves at the expense of others.
• No removal of a person should benefit the accuser.  Such simple benefits from accusations allow misuse and corruption, enabling bullies to prosper.  Great effort in society must be applied to prevent such outcomes.
• Recognize favorable qualities of others.  Be honest with complements, providing praise to those deserving recognition, including those of a different ilk.  Don’t place conditions on complements and praise. Don’t use a compliment as a lead for criticism.  If you want people to take time to find favorable qualities in yourself, you must take time to find favorable qualities in others – knowing that no one can do that for everyone.  There are nearly 8 billion sapient humans on this world and everyone wants to be recognized.

Additional Note: In order to strengthen people’s trust in society, kithavilies must be given the means to prosper beyond corporate interests. In this way; all families, friends and relations are able to prosper to their levels of Tangible Practices and form enterprises to become legacies for future generations to prosper.

       For this to function for the benefit of each family and their relations, each person must recognize the true tangible contribution of others and not unsubstantiated promises of future efforts.

       Recognize that using one’s social group orientation or identity – their gender, complexion, faith convictions, etc. – as a means to force others into capitulation is a considerable cause of the great discord permeating societies, and each person who is progressing along these paths must understand their role in perpetuating the discord throughout societies.

       Know that just because someone is in opposition with someone else, it is not necessarily about them being seen as inferior.  Each individual is working to make their position better.  Work to qualify Tangible Qualities of other people and present one’s own Tangible Practices to be recognize in due course within harmonious societies.

Work to be kind with each other.
