Sensitive or Indifferent: Is humanity dividing into distinct social types? No. 58


 

Change appears suddenly like an unexpected flower that arrives in your garden as natures wills it. Events that adjust world views can be challenging as some find a fixed unwavering life preferable. Life is a journey and humanity is evolving; its direction and future stability depends on clarity, understanding and empathy. Does humanity as a whole have the intelligence to see the devastating wrongs driven by greed and does this vision cause a clash of opinions. Is humanity dividing into distinct social types; sensitive and indifferent?

As intelligent beings a desperate undercurrent for more has been the instigator for cruel unethical inventions and behaviours. Domination has been the aim for millennia. Continued supremacy over Earth, its people, animals, land, oceans, sky and space will result in a wasteland. Are our moral codes acceptable; could revolution amend old ways of thinking in order to evolve our emotional intelligence?  Constant harm has become normal, always taking without consequences cannot continue without civil uprisings.

We can make decisions to harm, to care or ignore! Many hearts and minds have been activated in the quest to save our planet. Division into sensitive or indifferent is yet another chance to become informed before making choices that are not aligned with the healthy continuity of Earth. If people cannot see beyond their own existence, if they cannot see the world in a holistic way, the sensitive are our only hope. It is harder for some than others to realise their current way of life could be gone in future tomorrows. Forthcoming generations left without a chance to see the pristine magnificence of this living planet.  

We have not found life on other planets, yet many fail to see how important their chance of life on Earth is. Instead we have hate, greed, deception, jealousy and ignorance that are counteracted with love, sharing, loyalty, empathy, and awareness. What are we teaching our children, what are they learning from what they see in the world and on their screens? What makes adults pass on out-dated moral beliefs? Children’s crusades for environment and animal protection have already begun. Families and friends march together in the streets to get their voices heard. Unethical employment will end as sensitive individuals find it an intolerable burden. People hold governments accountable for wrong actions; they can stop a city if they want to.

To repair the damages every person needs to decide what is best for the co-habitation of the planet.  Human made genetic alterations of plants, animals and people is an abhorrent act of revenue. Putting a price on every living thing is monstrous. Finding yet another sentient creature to torture and kill to satisfy the tastebuds is not humane. When we realise that our bodies are suited to consume fruits and vegetables change will quicken. Our existence depends on natural food sources that can grow with our numbers. Imbalance between human over-population and animal extinction is testimony to the poor choices that have been made. Transparency and empathy are seeds of this rebellion. Take a look around you and carefully consider what there is to lose. Revolution for Evolution!

Nurturing Female Rule, No. 53

Image
Should mothers rule Earth? Would wise, nurturing, intelligent, multi-tasking diplomats bring peaceful results to inter-country communications? Could less aggressive leadership be the answer to the world’s problems? The death and assault of civilians in war ravaged countries is unacceptable in times when war should be in decline, something abhorrent to the thoughts of modern humanity. Have world leaders learned from the misery and suffering of previous battles? Why does it take so long to remove unstable aggressive leaders who rule way past there term of office and rig elections. Countries may go to war to protect the innocent, though there are often hidden motives and deals done. It has been said that the preparation for war boosts economies and innovation, but that is a heavy price to pay for so many deaths. Who gets to decide – who lives and who dies? Is male leadership along with egocentric behaviour the spark that ignited most historic and current conflicts? Aggressive to...

Women’s Rights via Revolution, No 71

Image
  The breadcrumbs of misogyny are easily seen in a history of women’s suffering and denial of rights. Patriarchal religious societies that purposely put men first for at least two thousand years are now witnessing its noxious failure. Corrupt governments that are self-focused are quickly measured by angry public sentiment. Governments without gender balance have become dens of mistrust. Lack of respect towards women in male dominated workplaces can be uncomfortable or become dangerous. Systemic sexism developed slowly; its design seeping toxically through millennia and distorting daily life. Parent’s desires to have boys, because they could work and support their parents in retirement and carry on the family name, only added to social attitudes towards girls and women. Words and language used to restrict or belittle females flourished in older writings where they were often portrayed in extremes for their value as virgin brides, harlots, mothers or Saints. Women’s education was...

Fatherhood, a Century of Change, No. 49

Image
The changing role of fathers as parents has brought dramatic differences to the family unit with a century. During the difficult war years and great depression men kept their emotions hidden in order to portray certain strengths of character and calm. They were told that men don’t cry even though they had witnesses many horrors and heartaches – their role as head of the household was to be invincible and ever-strong in front of their families. This restrictive rhetoric led many to self-imposed emotional prisons, where escapism often led to substance abuse. This created an invisible wall that partially separated families from really knowing each other at a deeper level. The pressures of fatherhood were demanding as many struggled to find the steady work needed to support large families. People had a standard role of what they should be doing in society whether they liked it or not, though change evolved and some broke through the stereotypes. The more prosperous 1950’s had a fi...
