At some point in our history, the Romans were the Masters of the World--literally. Nobody could stand to their pressure, to their military knowledge, to their culture, and to their ... virtue! Yes, Roman virtue is the greatest example of patriotism we know in history, greater even than the Spartan one, particularly because the Romans have survived for so much time. However, Roman virtue weakened over time, and that was the true cause that led, in the end, to the disappearance of the Great Roman Empire. For about two hundred years Rome was a Kingdom; it managed to survive and to conquer the entire Italic peninsula due to their exceptional diplomatic skills, first of all, then to their desire to learn, and to their will to succeed.
That was the period when Roman virtue started taking a definite shape. Next, during the
Democratic Republic period
(for about 500 years), Roman virtue became the topic of many incredible legends. Note, however, that only a
handful of heroes were true, moral citizens; the stronger and more developed the Roman Republic became, immorality
also increased. In 49 BC Gaius Julius Cesar proclaimed himself a Dictator,
only he is immediately killed by virtuous/moral
republican senators. However, the civil war that followed marks the end of the Roman Republic, and the birth of
the (Western) Roman Empire. |

The madness of the Second World War is almost impossible to explain logically. Seen from the highest and the most abstract levels, say, at the level of Destiny, that social catastrophe appears to be a lesson which we must never forget and repeat. This World in which we, the adults, do everything we want, it does not belong to us: it belongs to our children, and to the children of tomorrow. It must be ONLY a protective World, clean and beautiful, in the eyes of our little children. We must hide all our adult-miseries from the children of tomorrow, as much as it is humanely possible. No social activity is more important than educating children, and please note an interesting aspect. Children are some sort of intellectual sponges: they absorb the knowledge about "reality" in any way possible. That requires the entire society has to be logic, fair, protective, and nice for them. We owe that to them, and that will also help us become better people, more human, and more intelligent. The adolescence years in people's life are the most important for the future social-individuals, because during those troubled years the children mature psychologically. If we do not educate our children properly, up to the age of 18, then the new generations of adults are going to be just gangs of bestial individuals, and we are going to continue the massacre, the misery, the evils ... For society, the high-school period is the most important one: that is the only way we can make certain the leaders of tomorrow are going to be HUMAN and MORAL individuals. Without HUMANITY AND MORALITY any society, anywhere in the Universe, is destined to auto-destruction. Someplace in a past article we said that the most important, the basic human feeling that has separated humans from animals is "shame": shameless people are, more or less, animals. Let's picture this. |

So, there are four graphs above, and we have no doubts that each one is easy to understand. Let's take the first one named "Humanity Levels". The 0 (this is zero, not "O") level of humanity is the animal state: that implies the "humanity" quality is an addition to the animal state, which is in fact exactly the way things work in reality. However, do not let that aspect fool you, because little humanity IS NOT SUFFICIENT! Please note the thin white line right under TSA (Theoretical Social Average--the black area): it represents the MINIMUM ADMISSIBLE level of social humanity. Whatever is below that line is, again, NOT SUFFICIENT: it belongs to the ANIMAL side! That is a particularly important observation, because the bulk of RSA (Real Social Average) is below the minimum admissible level of humanity. We are certain that many do not agree with our last affirmation, but have little patience; we need a few articles to explain the existing reality logically, from the humanity point of view. The second graph refers to the "Shame" feelings: this is directly proportional to the level/amount of humanity we have. Somehow, shame is the most controversial human feature, because it is too little understood--particularly in the English world/side. Note that we refer to the abstract feelings of pride/shame not to the complex, social feelings of belonging to the human species, to a certain human race, or to a certain human culture/country. [That is too complex to define, for now.] The abstract pride (in opposition to shame) is a basic, animal feeling similar to being "the master of the heard"--most animal species exhibit it, particularly the mammal ones. That kind of pride generates the fight for power, for possession, for ruling the females of the species, and it is pure animalism. In opposition, shame determines people to act with intelligence, to renounce/give-up, and to exercise self-restrain in "satisfying their animal needs". This is, in fact, the insignificant detail that goes unnoticed when defining the human nature; however, it is also the most important one! Shame is a feeling people cannot easily simulate: you either have it or not. In addition, the lack of shame is very easy to detect, since people are very proud to show they are proud. You may think this is a joke, but if you intend to become a specialist in human psychology, or in social psychology, then you have to start with analyzing the "shame-pride" interrelation very, very careful. Human feelings may be grouped into: 1. simple (basic or fundamental) 2. complex "Love", for example, is a complex feeling: if it is "true love", not just biological/animal gender attraction, then it sums a few basic feelings--including a little shame. Other important complex feelings (respect, consideration, sympathy/empathy, moral) also have the fundamental feeling of shame embedded. The graph related to "Manifestation" refers to the creation-destruction as an involuntary (uncontrolled or the end-result) action. For example, most individuals want and they do try really hard to create something good, only their efforts end up, in most instances, into worse. They are low-level intelligence people, and they do not understand that creating is very complex, difficult, and it is not a hocus-pocus thing for everybody. In the same time, making mistakes is extremely easy. In fact, real complexity is to avoid making (serious) mistakes when creating/implementing something new. This topic is very interesting, therefore we will detail it in further Amazing Articles. Lastly, the fourth graph is the "Logic-Illogic". Note again the thin white line which separates the logic and illogic [between TSA and RSA]--it is very important. Of course, we could add many graphs similar to the ones above, but we need to keep things simple, at their most basic level, in order to actually see something from Global Picture. We are going to do precisely that in the coming articles. *** First published on October 17, 2006 |
