Natural Order

To be fully human, one must recognize what I am going to call, for lack of better terms, natural order. You don't need to be super-insightful.

Recognizing natural order is nothing like full blown enlightenment. It merely involves realizing what happens in your head is not reality.

This is the opposite of leftism and ego, which is to believe what goes on in your head must be true, by virtue of the fact that it came from you.

Go to your honest working family man 100 years ago, and if you asked him how he was doing he would likely respond "My wife is happy and my kids are doing fine, so I'm OK", or if he wasn't doing OK, he would probably just reply generically with something like "I'm alright", as In still alive, and get on with things.

The average person today would respond, at least in a moment of honesty, "I hate my life! I had a rude customer at my retail job! I only make 500$ bi-weekly! The price of condoms just went up!"

The difference is that the former example recognized natural order, and therefore, at least in the big picture, it's not about him.

People seem to get upset at reality, those who can see into natural order make do with what they have, while those who cannot use their emotion to cause unrest so that they can have what they think they want, like a child often does.

I like the way you wrote the perspective of the family man, something large summed up neatly and succinctly. You seem like a pretty down to earth guy, good post man.

Raising a family can make it very easy to realize that not everything is about you, and in fact, little is.

That's one of the reasons why there is a correlation between a societies family structures collapsing and a rise in egotistical behaviors.

Interesting, and certainly a part of the issue. My view is that we are so far up Maslow's 'hierarchy of needs' triangle, that we are totally self-absorbed.

If we had more pressing distractions from ourselves, ie avoiding starvation, then none of this would exist.

Ironically, it is often wars that revitalize a failing civilization, bringing its people together like nothing else can.
Nobody likes adversity, but there's actually nothing like it.
If you live through it, anyway.

Crow: Wars are a total reset and prepares the population for a growth phase as they realise what is important. As a reader of lit. from the late 1800's to the 1950's mainly, I am always shocked by the number of families wiped and few actually come out of a war richer than they went in.

The view of reality ensures that they can do what is necessary as opposed to these days when the unnecessary takes focus and the necessary is never thought of.

In Sydney where I live, they spent $1.2bn on a new and unused water desalination plant as the lefties said the dams would never fill again. At the same time I spoke to a worker on the Gas Mains and he said most of main pipes in Sydney are gone and there is no money to replace them. The gas runs through holes in the clay and the gas leaks every Summer as the clay shrinks.

So madness is everywhere.
