morality: if you want to have “moral” people, you first
have to understand your goal…
Morals have nothing to do with god or any religious action…
think of society as a boat… and we have many people on this boat…
as long as people sit peacefully on this boat… the boat just floats
along the river with no problems… but what if started to get up
and fighting and causing arguments all over the boat? the boat
becomes unstable and is in danger of capsizing… society is that boat
and we are passengers on that boat…it takes all of us to keep that
boat working and afloat…but what if a large group of passengers decide
to just do their own thing regardless of what is happening on the boat…
that is capitalism… following your happiness no matter how much danger
it puts society in, the boat…granted, if the boat is big enough and sturdy enough,
it could take quite a bit of individualism within the boat to threaten the boat from
going down… how the boat is run, that is a matter of preference… it could
be lead by a traditional hierarchy, Captain, second in command and first mates and
all the rest or it could be run more on a equality basis or even other ways…
as the boat is just floating down the river, its main goal is to avoid capsizing…
for the boat to thrive and grow, we must all work together to make the boat as
safe and sea worthy as possible…we must practice equality and justice to make
the boat function… think of a boat where some passengers have better rooms
and is waiting on hand and foot because they have more resources then other
passengers even though contribute the same as other passengers…
a boat where some passengers are treated differently because of
race, creed, color, wealth, will be a boat heading toward trouble…
here is where human nature takes over… why is he being treated
better then I am just because he is…this results in anger and jealousy
and envy regardless of the person, if in a situation one person is treated
differently because of accidental reasons, it causes resentment
and creates problems within the boat… this is why we must treat
all passengers with equality and justice…it helps keep the boat
from capsizing with discontent and hatred and anger…
so what is needed on this boat… first of all, we must have
an environment that is conducive to allowing people to have
the resources they need to survive… and by resources, we
also need, not just material things like food, water, air, education,
but we need love and security and hope, as much as the basics
necessities… and our environment must allow that…
it is not competitiveness that grow the human soul but love
and being wanted and security that allows us the room to become
who we are…so we must focus on environment first of all…
if you want healthy, valuable, hard working individuals?
then you must value them and love them and cherish them…
the environment decides who we become… if we have a harsh
and rough environment, that is who we will become…
our environment dictates who will be and so with that in mind,
we must create an atmosphere that is positive and not negative…
so we must give them the tools they need to succeed…
books, papers, pens, computers, great teachers, we must foster
an positive environment within the schools… that is the environment
which allows children to succeed… then we can add in competition…
for there is nothing wrong with competition as long as it is secondary…
a complement to the positive environment we must provide for the children…
we must encourage the positive traits of human beings, cooperation,
working together, valuing each other, listening to each other…
we must discourage the negative traits of human beings, greed, anger, lust,
envy, hate…
to create the environment of positive and lasting growth, we must work together…
and that is the point, we must emphasize working together and cooperation as
the success method of becoming who we are…you want to raise healthy,
happy, successful people, it begins with the environment we provide to them…
simple as that…to achieve this today, requires a reevaluation of our values…
because today we emphasize tax cuts to the rich, materialism, individualism,
money/profits, values that harm society…values that don’t promote
a positive environment to raise children… must we cater to children and
make them our focus instead of us…YES, yes we must do that…
that is what parents do, we focus on and promote children’s values over
our own selfish values… we put children first with an understanding
that the key to raising children is environment and we must create a public
environment that values positive values… not negative values like hate
and violence and anger…
this is why IQ45 is so dangerous, he promotes negative values like hate
and anger and violence…and why Obama was so good, he promoted
positive values as should we… so you want to improve the world…
begin with improving the environment of people…make positive
values the ones we pursue and engage in… cooperation, tolerance,
service to others, love, hope…
it all begins with environment…
so how are you going to improve your environment?
how are you going to make it better?
how are you going to make the environment of society better?
