Equal human worth
Branch of government, and power in that context, is something important to understand about. This has to do with the relationship between the humans. And for the humans the relationship between them is the very most important. Therefore, a properly understanding regarding this subject is necessary, to gain a good situation for us humans. This text is only a resuscitation attempt, for a several hundred years old topic, regarding equal human worth in proportion to the branch of governments.
When thinking on this topic, thought about the determining decision over what we humans are, comes in my thoughts. We humans have not decided what we are. We must understand what we are. That means we also have to understand how we best can organize our societies. No humans are able to make oneself to be the ruler over what the humans are. So no humans have that power. What the humans exist like; is the deciding factor.
Is there a deciding power over the humans, the nature, and the universe? This is a logical question, and a logical answer is yes. Although the answer is yes, this deciding power is something unknown for us humans here on Earth. The only logical answer it is possible to get from such thoughts; is that we humans can understand, and we shall understand.
Is it possible to understand what is right? An answer starts with thoughts about that to understand, is the humans' highest possibility. The next, is thoughts about that to fulfill the humans' immanent resources by all of us; will bring very good results for all of us. We have grounds to understand that it is a human reaction in every single human, which has to do with what is right or unfair regarding one selves; and also regarding other individuals. It is possible to understand that the development of mankind is a higher level than the individualistic level. These thoughts show that it is possible to understand about what is in the right direction, and what is in the unfair direction. We can think that it is right to submit to true and right understanding.
I am not a member of any religion or political group. I am afraid of fanatic tendencies because such tendencies force people to think after a scheme and do wrong to gain the aim. Therefore, I do not have many convictions. The only conviction I think about that I have, at this moment; is that it is a fundamental crime not to believe in good in mankind. (If life has become so bad for someone that it is impossible to believe in good any more, the right thing to do is to let other humans in peace for one's disillusioned thoughts, and let them try to win good without ruin it for them.) It is also wrong not to understand that some humans can have become completely evil against other humans than themselves, such humans are dangerous criminals. I often think that we humans find what we gain. The wheel for example, back in history we humans found the wheel. The wheel was a possibility; otherwise we could not have found it. We humans find possibilities. If we search for good, we find it. What you and I can think today, is a result of what we humans have done so far. We are really a very great community.
The French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen 1789 article 1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good. And the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. These historical occurrences show how strong the right to equal human worth has been led forth the last centuries. That tells us that there is a strong need for doing so, and that it is dangerous to forget about that. This is something which not comes easy. We have just only started, we are not finished.
These declarations which only are two out of several other similar declarations; are proclaimed in a period of time when this became something understandable and important. And understanding about equal human worth is really something important for us humans. It is important not to be oppressed; and it is important not to be an oppressing Devil. In the societies round about in the world the branch of governments regulate the proportion of power between the individuals. The historical conflict is between the right of ownership to private power over other individuals; and all individuals' right to democratic power over oneself. If people start to behave badly to others, very complicated functions in the human race start to develop in a more or less incomprehensible or understandable way. These functions are not decided by humans because humans have not decided what human beings are. A really fine human, is so in proportion to how it is decided that we humans are. I think that to gain balance in the main between us humans, is the strongest we humans can do.
My whole adult life I have thought that when people are treated badly; they easily become bad. This is something so complicated that I think, that it had not been too much to write a whole book about this topic, and maybe more than one book too. So this one sentence only points out at this subject. A sly trick is to turn this complicated problem upside down; and saying that it is necessary to treat people even worse, when they have become bad of being treated badly. This is so easy to do, and not so complicated which it is to look at it the right way. We humans are complicated beings; that is an inevitable fact.
A person, who all calls an idiot, is a more complicated being than someone of them can understand. Not to understand this, is to be an even bigger idiot.
Things we humans take as matter of courses are typically based on extremely complicated causalities. For example how we can learn and be clever in different ways; that is based on extremely complicated management in our beings, which function as a cause for our possibilities. So, to begin thinking that one self is more worth than others is based on very little understanding.
To simplify problems for discussion the wrong way, and wrong definition of problems; are sly methods to brake down the understanding about all humans' worth. To stop the development of understanding is also a sly method. Such tactics are used in that way to take control over how things are explained in our world today, to manipulate people to believe they understand more and more when they really understand less and less, until they understand nothing and not can find out about that any longer because they have been too stupid.
