What makes us human? Human-like complexion, organs, emotions, and feelings? Never! These are natural traits and tendencies; every creature embodies them. What makes us human is the essence of moral values.   Whenever we possess the qualities of generosity, humility, honesty, forgiveness, truthfulness, and fairness, we can consider ourselves a true human.   We can signify ourselves to be humans whenever we're kind to subordinate people, at the service of impoverished people, or beside vulnerable people.   We can claim ourselves to be humans whenever every creature of the universe is free from our aggression, arrogance, bad temper, oppression, and manipulation of force.   We can recognize ourselves as humans whenever our instincts are free from envy, rudeness, cruelty, selfishness, greed, insidiousness, dishonesty, and deception.   To say it straight, the peculiarities of human morality make us humans, not our bodies. Taking birth as a human is easy, but dying as a human is difficult. Our aim in life should be to be a righteous and virtuous human being. If we can turn ourselves into true human beings, the entire world will be turned into a heaven. #Humanity #Diginity #Peace #Justice #HumanRights  

Colors are so connected to our life. What color are we in right now? Or is it a fluid state, transitioning from one to the next in a birth, life, death, rebirth cycle? There are different colors used in mourning in different cultures that resonate with a spiritual meaning relating to death. What is the difference between form and natural representation in art versus spiritual meaning? Will it be Art that helps us transition out of nihilism and into meaning economies? So many questions...not sure if there are answers, but tomorrow's Substack explores a lot of ideas!!! See you at 10am for another drop!!! Link below :)

Through reflections, a profound truth emerges—your narrative is yours to hold, cherish, and protect. The burden of correcting misconceptions, dispelling rumours, or validating secondhand tales does not rest on your shoulders. You have learned to stand firm in your truth, unwavering in the face of external judgments and distortions. This journey towards inner strength and self-assurance is no small feat, yet you have embraced it with courage and resilience. Your refusal to engage in conflicts that detract from your peace speaks volumes about your character and integrity. Through this act of self-preservation, you have reclaimed your power and autonomy, forging a path guided by authenticity and self-worth. As you navigate the complexities of human interactions and societal expectations, remember that your peace of mind is paramount. Your hope for all, even those who have caused you pain, to find their peace reflects a deep well of compassion and understanding within you. In this realisation lies the essence of true liberation—the ability to transcend petty grievances and embrace a higher state of consciousness and empathy. Embrace this newfound wisdom with an open heart and a steadfast resolve. Stand tall in your truth, knowing that your worth and dignity are not contingent upon the perceptions of others. May this journey of self-discovery lead you to a place of profound peace and fulfilment, where the echoes of inner strength and resilience resound with unwavering clarity. You are a beacon of light in a world of shadows, a testament to the beauty and power of the human spirit.

Lets talk about in the Jungle and the human world... "In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined" In the Human Kingdom In the grand tapestry of life, the animal kingdom operates on a primal law: survival of the fittest. The mantra is clear – eat or be eaten. It's a ruthless dance of nature, where strength and cunning dictate the outcome. Humans, however, have woven a more complex narrative. We've transcended the raw instinct of survival and ventured into the realm of intellect and identity. Yet, the underlying principle remains: define or be defined. In this human kingdom, the battle is not merely for physical sustenance, but for mental and emotional nourishment. We strive to establish our own narratives, to shape our identities in a world that often seeks to categorize and label us. The fear of being defined by others is a constant undercurrent. It's the dread of being pigeonholed, of being seen as less than what we believe ourselves to be. To avoid this fate, we actively seek to define ourselves, to carve out our own niches, and to assert our individuality. However, this quest for self-definition can be a double-edged sword. It can lead to a sense of empowerment and agency, but it can also breed isolation and a fear of vulnerability. The fear of being misunderstood or rejected can sometimes drive us to conform to societal expectations, rather than embracing our true selves. In the end, the human kingdom is a delicate balance between the desire to define ourselves and the fear of being defined by others. It's a constant struggle to reconcile our individuality with our interconnectedness, to find our place in the world without losing ourselves in the process.

Emotional conditions are pathological when they cause behaviors that harm. I have long perceived the intolerance of sadness contributing to the acceptance of violent, aggressive and angry behavior and even subtle aggression such as gaslighting and ghosting. Sadness has a heavy and deepening effect and in excess becomes a pathology as well. Idealism and value hierarchies are interesting philosophical and material constructs to explore. Our nervous systems are wired for creating. Look forward to your reflections and thoughts: https://lnkd.in/dpYspby7

𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: 𝐀 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐆𝐮𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤.-𝐇𝐚𝐃𝐢 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐁) “Not at all,” he said firmly. “They’re completely wrong. Humans are the best creatures ever created.” I was confused by his perspective, so I pressed for clarity. “Then which creature is the worst?” He paused for a moment, then replied, “A person who has feelings, emotions, pain, and understanding but lacks the wisdom to control them is the worst and most horrible creature in the world.” Before I could ask further, he continued, “Now, you might wonder—if humans aren’t the worst, how can such a person be? The answer is simple. A person without humanity isn’t truly human. “Such individuals may look human, but they are, in truth, devils in disguise. So, stop calling evils ‘humans.’” Before I could respond, he stood up, smiled gently, and walked away. I sat there, reflecting on his words. I realized he wasn’t silly or unstable at all. He was wise—wiser than many people I had met. The world had failed to understand him, too preoccupied with its shallow judgments to grasp his depth. As I left the park, I carried with me two important lessons: • 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

I have been spewing things on the internet, blogging about my observations on society, culture, and of course, spirituality. Is it the Soul talking or the ever-self-conceited and biased ego talking all this nonsense, masked as spiritual realizations? 

And that is the truth.
