"Humancentrism" A different perspective
My enlightened way of giving this word NEW meaning. CREATIVE essay.
It can’t hurt to hope. Right?
These are simply my creative thoughts. Fear is now something I search for. It alludes me and that is dangerous. Reputation, wealth, power, I have none of these. With those come more unwanted assassins. There are enough already, why add any more annoyances.
My death? This doesn’t worry me. I’ve faced that in several different capacities. I yearn for what could be next. My spirit wanders endlessly still looking for something that it only thinks it has found it. Now I chose to look into the darkness and chose such a path. I force myself to peer in from time to time, trying to reach any that remain. It is quiet. Too quiet.
Keep your enemy close. If I have not earned any legal right alloted to me by the wise men in Whigs, then what must one do? Who else will speak for the DEAD? I’ve chosen them over all of you. For now.
Any efforts of others to divide us are generally are led with lies. There is not a “side” that is not guilty. We all are, we are human and flawed. We are all one and the same, yet different. I doesn’t have to be this way. I think I actually know and dream the alternative. If you don’t see it please don’t stop looking. Powerful men let me see behind the curtain. Just enough to let me know what I was missing. I wasn’t missing anything. I had something more precious all along. You reading this do also.
Humancentrism is not an actual word in this form. At least in my limited and novice understanding of things. I am a student that continues to step up a ladder that took me 30 years to find. I didn’t get up the first rung until 50 years have passed. I learned that the common man cannot jump from the top of one to the top of another. Some can. I watch them and see them.
I am taking precautions to protect that investment in myself and because I have two young girls that have vehemently demanded I exist for a tad longer than I was hoping to remain. My mantra for that now to myself is, "I persist.” That is how it feels. Instead of moving quickly forward I have been inching forward, immovable and deep like the moai of Easter Island. Deeply rooting with much still hidden.
Nearly every “group” of us is guilty. We get together under common interests and then all of the sudden those that are outside are now open for exploitation. Why? Is it from lack of resources and greed? How much of those things are genuinely still an issue? I don’t claim to know. Do you? I have my doubts that they materially even are. It must be related to a collective insecurity? I need to find out.
Let me get something very clear. Anthropology is my attempt to understand the biggest problem in the world. Humanity. Here I point to and address myself and those that look like me in my “group.” Rural America folks. I ain’t no city boy. I just happen to pay close enough attention enough to fool those folks and anyone else I need to get amongst. You can listen along. You need not agree at all. Listen and teach me what you can. This is Some Clear Dialogue. Can we make some, please.
“Dagger 1-6, what is your status?”
“Dagger 6 actual, stand by for my exit report.
“…I’ve got 32 Souls, see you later with what remains...”
I tried to take every step with purpose. I don’t place blame. I logically observe and report. I learn what creates myself and others as individuals, our beliefs as we interact in our communities and socio-cultural environment. I can only observe so I can maybe understand. I have this natural curiosity and always have. For me, mostly the bad stuff. What I see and what I am allowed to see. Anyone still wondering what I’ve seen? Same as you. I might be looking at it differently than some now? I am not sorry for what I have seen. We can only control the details as we walk along a path that manifests before us. Sometimes, not even the details.
As we all move together toward finitude together, the road is wide. There is room for all of us to shift our movement. To move away or nearer to the cliff, together.
Do I speak falsely? Have my thoughts and observations been incorrect? Once you see, they can only then turn and lead you away and tell you lies. I remember. Question what your mind is constantly telling you. Step into your mind and spend some time there. When was the last time you did that? What lessons did you learn that you maybe missed? They can take forever to register without the right light and literal mirrors. A beam came along for me. I caught it.
“Humancentrism” - No, it is not the negative as in Humanity is more important than everything else. That is the problem, not the answer.
This thought I explored to give myself personal meaning of what I am trying to define holistically. A part of myself that I know to be right and the parts I know are wrong. Find them, for all of us.
We all should be trying to learn, to try to understand and love one another while WORKING together. When those among us are still learning or unable to learn and go astray, the strong among the joined tribes can LEAD them back. Lead them back towards the goal of happiness and joy and the peaceful naivety that comes with it. Leaders I know exist that are truly just. I feel some eyeing their kit. Knowing full well that their mind now is the weapon.
My wish is that Humancentrism would mean our worlds Religions would be divinely prescribed to find a way to connect and find similarity in one another instead of differences. That what we have defined as Nation States work together towards something better instead of ripping it all down. Such a pathetic and ignorant choice. Shouting loud at the top of the mountain, I say that some have been pulled God out of the true diviners hands and corrupted it for some. You ALL still slaughter for your gods. Can any of the forces of the Ying and the Yang deny me this Fact? You cannot. Not a single one of you. Face the mirror.
“I think, therefore I am.” Rene Descartes.
Maybe some of you should “think.” For once.
Check the stones on which you stand. Are they all real?
