The paradise movement idea again
My thought
describes something very essential in human nature: what
the driving force is behind all that we do, what is the ground of all
achievements, both small and large,and what is the base for economical
success. Since my thought is ok at the level of the biological picture
of humans, and says nothing that would depend on the circumstances, it
ought to apply fully to the times of the ancient Egypt too. At least
it could be our most educated guess of what applies, what is wealth,
worth, success and meaningfulness based on in all times, both those of
the ancient pharaos and these modern times. It applies everywhere, in
all corners of the world, during all ages. Just sometimes it is
emphasised differently: those who are not free, yearn for freedom,
those in danger for safety, the suffering for a peace of mind, the
miserable for happiness etc. What is just one value among others for
one, can be a distant dream for another one. But the direction that we
aim at, according to our own understanding, in ways that vary
according to our personality and our situation, is always the same:
toward a better life in better living conditions and toward a safe
future for us. All human action is in essence like that. That is what
is meant by good and consequently that is what moral, the base of
society, handles, that is what moral ultimately means: action
according to the ages and ages old human nature.
The time of the pyramids was a manifestation of the human nature! We
are interested in what life was like then, what life should be like
nowadays, what was worth a lot then, what is worth a lot in the world
even nowadays, what brings the meaningfulness and content to life, to
the lives of us all...
my way of living:
It bought me an enermous social success compared to what I used to have.
It was like a miracle.
Here it is: "I love Life, happiness and things positive for
happy life - like most of the others, like You too. This is why I
support from my heart the things that support good life and oppose the
things that ruin it."
It is easy to understand and agree about. Still, I think that there is nothing
much more needed in running the society and even the whole world well,
except maybe religion! I wish that You too could benefit from it: think deeply about it,
try it out and spread it widely in the form that it works out well.
(The base of wealth: the motivational ground, the ground of your working ability
and what sells best, what is most needed.)
