The Rise of Humane Humanity, No. 59


  
Shifts of consciousness have always been part of the human condition along with dark dispirited eras. When something heavy sits over the populous some people feel compelled to express what they are feeling, even though that can lead to risky situations. Those feeling trapped by societies that need to evolve often ban together to free themselves of a bleak mindset. As hope finds its way to the light activism surges and doubles its manifestation. Could we be witnessing the rise of Humane Humanity?

Rising up for what you believe in can have uplifting or dire consequences depending on your moral beliefs. No one should go blindly into any cause without doing their own research.

If your beliefs cause you to,
endanger the future of any living creature,
take the life of any living creature,
destroy the health of any living creature,
pollute the habitat of any living creature,
oppress the life of any living creature,
is it worth joining?

If however, you choose a sustainable path that cares for the land and those that live here, you will be an important part of humanities shared journey. There will be choices to make, new laws to develop and life will alter for the better. 

Being a humane citizen of planet Earth is critical to the continuity of all species. Compassion to all seems like it should be a common occurrence, but sadly it is not. Many world citizens and animals of all varieties suffer from the oppressive wrath of misguided individuals in leadership roles. When power, control and wealth are all that matter there is no morality – everything is for sale.

Reaching for the glow of something morally better is in every person. Good people have certainly done bad things in times of war, drought, disease, corruption and natural disasters where survival came first, but that does not mean they are inherently bad people. Many are forcibly placed in cruel situations that they eventually rise out of through sheer will. Forgiveness is also a natural human trait. Being humane should be humanities dedicated purpose. If what you are doing doesn’t feel right anymore rise to a better cause or occupation as many have done. Awareness can offer a humane way of living in the world with all creatures. Awareness is a simple sharing of knowledge; it opens avenues of thought not explored before. Being part of the whole is essential if we want to live a balanced life. It is humanities job to govern the world is a fair ecological way. Make domination an obsession for the history books. Choose empathy everyday forward!

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...
