Nothing my eye, Something for sure
People have a total freespace within themselves to be whoever they want to be where you are only limited by your imagination. People should just take that space and consider their best possible selves. There is no existential rule that you have to be something oppressive or worse. If people choose monstrous things then that is their hearts delight. But there are excellent things to be, and far more supreme ways to live.
There's nothing there that is full force forcing you to be something awful. People fall for what they fall for. I have seen the wise and selfless of compassion, and the arrogant control freaks, and perhaps worse. Some people feel lack and fall for things, others are more fulfilled.
But a definitive human nature that is the only way life can be sounds to me like a big fat falsehood. There is a whole wide range of the things that people can be. And generation after generation that realm of possibility plays out. For lack of knowledge or lack of truth why do some people become monsters? And the rest of humanity has to take smelling salts and wake up to injustices that happen. For no good reason monsters happen. They do it to themselves and couldn't care less.
But on the justice side of life there is the beauty of life. And all that is precious that is worth dying for. And whether you live forever or only a short time doesn't change anything. What's precious is precious. You love what you love and that is the way it is regardless of anything else.
Ceasing to exist forever changes nothing.
And good people are dangerous to monsters. WW2 is proof of that. Ain't no problem there. Forced to take evil or rise up to win freedom they had no choice and many of them only wanted to live free and they had to defeat Nazis.
So in today's reality there is blindnesses and ignorances about reality. Sometimes that can be very tragic, when good people are blind to reality. But the best motivating force there is, is to want to be right and not be dangerously wrong. The truth of the matter and no less. Reserve all judgment and defer all judgment until what's obviously not right evidences itself.
But there are those good meaning people who want only truth and are totally convinced they have it and still judge wrongly about things. Not seeing actuality in its entirety. I would hope they have a firm commitment not to be the final authority on things they don't understand. I myself think it bad to be master of someone else's fate. If at all possible, and no damage and harm done, then people should be able to live as they see fit to live as consenting adults.
Forcing your truth isn't going to be good. A lot of people have totally different truth. But there are obvious moral laws not to do murder nor assault anyone. There should be agreeance there.
People should feel free to communicate their truth. And I don't think it should be a problem.
Freedom of will and age of responsibility can be enforced. Why shouldn't it?
So the numbers play out and hopefully the best people find their way into the best positions. There's always holes to fill.
A family should be able to raise their children as they see fit while never doing harm to their children and letting them make their own choices when the time comes.
But to tackle racial injustice takes removing the racists from their positions.
Each generation has to carry their torch, and recognize the rights and freedoms that make life worth living. It's known that hatred should never be tolerated. It's known that it doesn't matter what race you are, you can achieve a worthy life equal to anyone. But now is the time never to take it for granted. It's always now!
I don't see that everyone is degenerating. It's that people need to wake up to the injustices. Move in positive circles, and don't let progress fall backward.
