The need for common measurement to our morals (P2/4)

Usually the establishment of morals and ethics between people is claimed to the fear, in case if we look to the matter from the logic of powers to renouncing. And as an explaination; their fears from being oppressed hamper them from transgressing on others. In other words; to push themselves to doing what they aspire to get in return as a deal. And this kind of agreement -they had approved- could make people living safely together, based on their fears of course.

They can be committed to such agreement to protect themselves to avoid every punishment they may deserve. Although we could guarantee some stability into the group of people, but we can’t guarantee totally the rightness or wrongness of the things we do, but we can’t decide what’s acceptable to do and what’s not.

Because the concept of life is based on living it to the fullest since it is just one life, and the success of the individual is justified according this concept, regardless the harm and damage that may others get even if they’re billions of people, but their personal view -to this life- is enough to please them as they think it is.

The question is, what would be; if there was no fears within some ones, whereas they got enough means to be far away and out of every punishment or social judgment that can threaten them? Moreover; since they even don’t care what their environment may think about them. In such scenario; what can stop these people if their pleasure and joyment comes from the wrong and bad things they do?

Humanity could make the civilization when people have invented the system of writing. and if we try to tell this story from its beginnings; we can say that the need to communicate properly and to easily make the exchange between people, they needed to do so, the idea was to draw symbols and figures able to referring to certain things when everybody else can see, he will understand easily. Some languages which they still use same old systems of symbols. And with ages these systems of writing got developed and updated to be easier until we see now. It’s in the same way like we see now the signalization in our streets to facilitate the traffic.

My point for that is; the system which is used here was able to make a common mechanism of principles and rules to guarantee the people life in groups wherever they’re. And same for the morals between people they should be in common aswell.

The need for common measurement to our morals (P1/4)

I've said before about the troubles that can be due the differences in interpreting the facts and reactions towards, when people confuse the terms and they differently determine them which can lead to contradictions.

I give another picture for that, the Bosnian schools for example, and even in same city, they have different lessons for history subject, because the different perspectives towards the last war they've had, and each community teaches the subject in starting from its personal view and not necessary to telling the truth most of times. Such situation can show the gap that exists into the depths of the same society to be fragile, moreover the troubles that can happen because of that (like the national pride or national spirit as one of common issues which isn’t in fact and that may destabilize the country). because each side reads the events in a way different than the other side, different reasons, different excuses and different consequences, we reach - at the end - different measurements while everyone has his own system to evaluate facts and situations, because they started from different platforms to treating the issue, those different measurements don't bring harmony, neither to stabilize enough the social life of people although the same circumstances they share.

I stopped last time with a question, which measurement should we rely on to define properly the platform (for all people who share same situation) with clear principles and based on morals we've to share?

When everybody is living life according his personal principles, and each one is looking after his happiness ad success through certain perspective -based on some interests- which can be completely in the opposite of someone else. And what someone sees as a good thing and fulfilling the happiness, someone else may see it horrible and kind of corruption. Such difference is what breaks the harmony of being in social life and prevent the civilized progress.

If we look after the morals and their beginnings, people appreciate generally certain values but they can be different sometimes until being in contradictions while someone appreciate something whereas the other appreciates absolutely the opposite in fact. we find out that one of the reasons and the explanations of beginning; it was to guarantee the social interest to living into a group of people (society) through certain rules and without neglecting the individual. Because if every individual started looking after his personal satisfactions, and to getting his own benefits; then it'll be hard to establish a society, because there is be transgression on others and their rights aswell.

For this fact; it was necessary that everyone must renounce some of their demands and requirements willingly to guarantee the safety (from any transgression) and the freedom (to dreaming and looking after goals), that kind of balancing between issues can lead to the peace between people of the same environment.

That renouncing can be in many different ways, or all together, such as discussions, learning about, experiences and measuring the consequences from. The next question is: on which bases we can be sure that the renouncing is fair and just for us as same as it's for the others? And how do we realize and guarantee that others also are ready to offer that renouncing?

The relationships in our world today. (Part 02)

     I've heard this many times and i'd like to repeat the phrase, and i think it has a deep meaning too, which says: the most important in life is to love the woman/man whom you'll marry; instead to marry the woman/man whom you love. It seems confusing a bit, but i'll try to explain it now here. i don't think someone can disagree with the first part, but the second part looks wrong, you can understand me if you get in minds that I mainly emphasize on the order between the two factors, the wrong thing in the definition "of love" into our minds, (or in other words the way that our conscious learned about the love from different influences), and we can't rely on the love and only; to make a strong and long relationship - as everybody may say so -, but the love is supposed to grow up along the life in between, not waiting it to be grown enough then to be sure and to tell yourself : "ok! i'm sure this is the person whom i'll spend my life with", and if you ask anybody has a successful life (i mean asking eldery people), i think you'll find the same answer like in here.

     That calls in my mind the fact of two people still loving each other, although they don't look the same like the time when they've met in past, the changes came on them after years so the faces and bodies are completely changed with years, and even some views, but the love is alive and stronger. Of course there aren’t perfect and surely some conflicts had been within the years, and struggles to exceed some situations, also not everything was accepted from a one to another, but they kept the most important in between, that affability while living together and sharing the same responsibilities. With years they realize that the life can’t be shorten just into feelings, but the life is more than only that, and deeper aswell, which is based on more roles to play into. That's why the people today are far from their roots and social values, they disconnected from their past completely, and almost each relationship is free from any responsibility usually, so they lost the essences and get themselves lost.

     People surely need to know each other well before getting married , because it's an important step in life, but not necessarily in the way that's popular in the world of today. People agree with this fact they've now while they don't know anything else better as alternative. Because they wasted the ancestors' experiences and focused on the modern style of life that they're impressed by it,( kind of self-confidence more than the necessary), just to following the worldly trends, through different tools, and also reasons (which are long to talk about them all in here right now). But it's easy to know many about others today through communications (and as i said how friends are knowing about each other too), we don't need all details in the beginning whereas that must be as results for relationship, we need the necessary and the stability in the commitments between the couple.

     I’ve read in one novel about something in this context, the girl  and after some confusion she had and insecurity in her relationship, she asks her friend's advice  : I just want a hot relationship that ends up with marriage”, she naively thinks so. Then her friend - who’s older than her and seems wiser so - explained: you've just said it here, to ends up with marriage, and since it's ended up; so what will you keep for yourself both after getting married? fights? Looking for someone else or divorce maybe.

     Like that, the previous statement means, the love is growing up along the life and not completing its growth before the marriage, else it'll be drained only because no responsibilities nor duties that keep the relation between, no commitment, no clear goal nor common purpose for the two people ahead. Everyone is free and in every moment it's possible to be far away from the second in a second, that promote the cheating and disloyalty and cause then the insecurity, depression, and so on.

     To be committed into the marriage as an institution for family and society; requires some rules to follow, that commitment is the push to be someone caring and loving, because there is a goal they both aspire to achieve, it's the incentive to limit the passion into the family context (and i focus just on this side of love/relationships/marriage). That person won't look for something else far, where it's available between hands with the near partner and enough to fullfilling the needs (whether for the man or the woman) because it's mutual between.

     The emotions are an energy from the 04 human's energies, that should we renew it and upload it, and to be aware how to spend it, but the complication in the life today led the people to misuse this energy in the proper way, they unintentionally waste this resource and drain it in emptiness, and so they feel lost and usually to be in bad feelings can have awful consequences (which we previously have to avoid really).

     All that can show the need to think again at least on personal level, on how to measure that fact and to be aware enough to protect ourselves.

The relationships in our world today (Part 1)

     In my opinion ; I see about the relationships without passing through marriage, has many disadvantages really, one girl told me that old people for example in her country (from previous generation) see that is not good to be in full relationships before marriage or being engaged at least, and many are thinking same so in different countries more or less.

     And what changed now in societies, i don't mean a country in particular, but that's in everywhere now, because it’s the new and modern culture through "the globalization". the new generations are obsessed to the freedom in way they claim to fake freedom (if we think deeply about that, it'll be more painful than they imagine, why? because now they prefer to be free from any obligation or any value came from the past, to guarantee their absolute freedom, which became the only value to look for as a reference and to care about, whereas that's not true always and doesn’t work in all cases of course,

     The humanity's traditions and customs say along the ages and centuries that the marriage is the act between two people to make a family, (although those conceptions are redefined, and have got many updates), but let's start from a question I’ve heard :

     "How can someone meet a girl? i mean to find out about her personality, character,beauty, hobbies etc. unless be with her for a while, then to know if she matches with you properly?"

      In the context; I’ll bring the real definitions that must do exist into any society, the marriage that i meant (as it was always in past), it's not to prevent meeting between the two concerned ones in the issue, of course marriage won't be a blind act without knowing each other, right. but the fact to preceed the marriage (official act) by a relationship (for fulfilling the desires) is the reason that causes many problems and break hearts to have failed and sad endings.

     A few decades ago; relationships were more successful than in the today life, with their previous definition, and the problem is in the changes that happened in societies, which means the changes in people's mindsets, concepts, social relations and social values aswell. when two people are in relationship and spending alot of time together and do everything possible to do, together, talk so much, and appearantly the feelings are growing up but not in the proper way that they should be in order to lead to a successful ending.

     And for a while, they're learning about each other (this is the main reason that people rely on, just to convince themselves they're right, and no way except that one). for example now friends know a lot about each other, they know about hobbies, mindsets, characters, behaviors, thoughts, what each other like or dislike, their interests, and tendencies,....etc, they know a lot about each other really, but does that mean they're in relationships ? of course not,

     Moreover; why do we love some people without any condition to that love? (like family; with parents or siblings). Simply because they make a part of us, whatever happens they’ll stay in same position from us, and generally have same attitude from us towards them. The same when it’s a husband/wife and father/mother or parent/children. And the last thing they should think about is the divorce, not because it’s difficult to doing, but because it's not preferable as a choice.

     When two people take the long time together without any official link in between (justifying the reason to knowing more about each other and if they can bear each other or not...etc), in this way; their feelings will be drained completely to the bottom. whereas they think the feelings is growing up, but that's not true in the fact. when they enjoyed each other enough and shared almost everything, and each one pleased the second enough, then of course there will be some boredom between, and one day (sooner or later), one of the two people (or both) will have a sudden change and find no more benefits from the second one. because the life's interests are changing constantly, and that staying along the time ends up to someone with no more interest in him/her, and like that; the breaking up comes for any casual reason maybe, because this one (or maybe both) already feel satisfied from each other, and everything is already done. so why they need to continue in this case?

     Surely the human self (in this case) will look for new passion  and something else, and to look for being out of that routine; to have more satisfaction for desires, or just more adventures, since there is no steady link to preserve their being together. and that style; broke the hearts of many people unfortunately, because no guarantees for their social, neither psychological  nor emotional rights. that's what the modern life gave us from redefining many concepts like about social life here. Shouldn’t we think again about those concepts and how do they affect on our lives?

The marriage as an institution

     Many people aren't interested in committed relationship beneath the marriage institution, they prefer more freedom without marriage, or sometimes for fewer responsibilities avoiding any urgent way they may have. and many who’re against the marriage, for silly reasons, like to marry just to fix problems (or let’s say fixing their mistakes), If there are children. And I found that -according to their constitutions, Unfortunately-the law causes most of changes in people’s interests, so instead paying a lot for marriage’s stuff, they prefer to live together instead (regardless to all the advantages of marriage like the incomes of family and health care better). 

      Or maybe fears from cheating of the second person, even living together for years can’t guarantee the enough trust between. So the fears from divorce in future (in case of marriage)remain constantly, then they can’t change certain notes on their documents forever, because it’s not a relaxing fact to taking the name of the man even after the separation; which means certain dependence and kind of reminder in case if things didn’t go properly in their past. Also there are who prefer that as a choice to get more benefits, like being able to win scholarships for their studies, that as married can’t get them. And I found that the majority of people prefer such choice to be into a “free & sperated relationship” (if I can say so), since in any moment it ends and can happen that we can say there was no relationship at all, and then nothing remain anymore, especially like those who aren’t religious people, free of every controller of belief I mean, like those whom the religion doesn’t make a part of their lives at all.

      But in fact we can't find better than the marriage to guarantee the rights of two people, (within certain rules of course , not necessarily as the laws say nowadays), especially the social and psychological rights for the two people alike. And not easy for any side to just leave his/her duties when the mood and desire says so; and the situation when there are children between, they shouldn’t be a tool to fix the problem or mistakes of someone are counted from adults, that’s even a wrong view when they think about child as a mistake they did unfortunately, unjust to define that as a mistake.

      Moreover; the studies confirm that the marriage can help one or two people to be committed in certain healthy relationship due the psychological security that can bring to them, and even to avoid certain bad behaviors that can trouble the health of person (like some diseases) or the health of relationship (like drugs or drinking), these advantages are only because the huge affection and influence that the continuous presence of the second partner can provide - at least psychologically -, in comparing with the unmarried people while in one glance can disappear – and with obscurity why exactly -.

we can see that (such reasons like : to take another surname and be related to it, ...etc), and all those changes in lifestyle were mainly coming from decision makers, or the parliaments before decades, who defined the societies in way to commanding in people's thinking way in somehow, then that caused the changes into people's priorities, and their attitudes in life aswell, right?

      Then we assume if you [woman]can keep your surname, and you can keep your rights that the man can't leave just because he wants to do, in other words, he can't get rid of his responsibilities, so would that be better for the woman?  i meant also; when it happens and you divorce, you simply recover your surname again and only, can that reform the attitude to avoiding of this choice -marriage- from her?

      Those fears from cheating are in two directions between them, and the instability due the missing of guarantees and commitment, are not disadvantages of marriage, but the problem can be in morals of one or the two people, and their social values. Because marriage in fact; must refrain that instability and then to bring enough guarantees and relief for both to stabilize their relationship.

The need for common system of morals.

    People are different in their backgrounds and their cultures, which affect logically on their attitudes, thoughts and points of view, and when they come to define certain terms, they maybe disagree to determine the same definition to it.

    I got a question that means to say about the things I do like in this world and in mankind and those which I dislike, and because the topic generally was a new into my mind, I got in my mind an answer that analyzing a bit the human nature and the world today. That’s a story about the concepts and the values into every single mind, honestly all people agree that they love the peace, calm, happiness, the fortune, the fun, the joy, the justice, because that's what our instinct is made of, and meanwhile we dislike the hating, the oppression, stealing, ...etc. But the problem is in the confusion between those good values which all people look after.

    people have differences in how they define those terms, and if you ask about liking justice, nobody will answer you “no don't like”, but in fact they like justice when it's for their rights and their desires, and when they’re looking after it, but when it happens that justice is against them, and against their benefits, or someone else is striving to get it, they don’t give the matter enough importance, and they underestimate from the matter.

     So here the value is the selfishness since it’s not personal matter, and no talk about justice whereas we’re all live in same world and under the same universal circumstances even if our personal circumstances are different, and instead to have the same attitude from the issue they don’t care or maybe to stand against hidden behind some illogical reasons, they unintentionally forget about the justice's principle which they strive for in the first case.

     So there is the essence into our instinct inside in the depths of the human, but there is no strict controller that people are agreed about to keep control on those terms similarly on all of people, that's the problem in the matter, and the way to fix it, is through knowledge, while we learn more, we can find out about ourselves and our depths truly, do you agree with my opinion here?

     Yeah the knowledge is the cure against any bad stuff, it's a cure for ignorance and bad stereotypes, more we find out about issues we can have clearer idea about and then we won’t betray the principles and the we keep then the essence of morals as they’re into the human instinct and into the human nature according to the pattern on which he is made, but to imposing the opinion on others, that's really the bad fact, it starts from politicians who impose their thoughts, whether they look for good for others or for their personal benefits as usual, to the media that works according to oriented agendas and for certain purposes far away of the neutrality, until the simple people when they treat and deal with each other.

     So anyone has some of authority on someone else, will have the power to impose certain concepts on the way he wants them to see them, and usually that happens for guarantee some benefits constantly and being appreciated and protected from any troubles, it's the person's interests and selfishness, arrogance, superiority’s feelings, that push to such situations and as a sequence there will be more conflicts and misunderstanding between people and nations aswell.  

     To fixing well those problems, it’s required to have a common system of measuring the morals and determining correctly the values and principles that command in and control the people’s lives in every time and in everywhere.  But the question that I’ll finish my article with is: which measure should/must we rely on to determine perfectly those terms and clarifying well the principles based on morals? Probably I’ll reply on that question in other occasion.

The importance of the belief (part 03)

    Let’s continue from where we stopped before, and to mention some points here. The fearing of god → means that this person is thinking in sequences before doing everything, and not only –as everybody can do that too-, but s/he remembers that he’s having limits that s/he shouldn’t exceed them, and even when it’s possible to do and nobody can notice that but it’s invalid to doing that, then preferably to avoid as a choice and with a conviction→ which means also the self-control even when nobody else can notice that, and no collapse in behaviors or in values, from here the humanity got its moral culture, and in this context; people do a lot of thing in good sense in their around, without waiting anything in return from others, then they’re applying certain of real noble principles towards the world and humanity → and during that, s/he will be doing his/her obligation (with conviction of course) towards everyone (everything) around as much as possible for the god’s sake, and fearing god of hurting them too in every treatment or dealing with, that can look meaningless for those who didn’t experiment that really, because the god’s satisfaction is what s/he is looking for -in first place- and always there is a reason to stop them even if they get a bad intention in something.

    And when the goal is common between all people (and prior than the private interests and only), then it’ll be fair for all to agree with that rule, which shows the justice in front of all people alike, right. Because it’s so impossible to have a contradiction in purposes here between the god's satisfaction and people's agreement in such situation while all rules are applied on all at the same time and way.

    That’s above when we talk about the influence of religion on people’s transactions and dealings, and when we talk about the spiritual impact, we’ll see something else, may people today accuse the religious as weak people and they don’t trust themselves enough to face the life, in other words they claim the perfection and no need to any religion to live a proper life whereas they’re worshiping different idols when they don’t know, but the human nature requires to fill the spiritual side and complete that need inside, so historically many people left the religion when they don’t find their peace inside, but not only, they didn’t just accuse the way they were on, but generally the term of religion became inexistent for them completely, just from the only one experience they had, and that’s why they rejected all.

    Scientist and Philosophers confirm the belief as a part of every single soul, even those who make the mind just the only way to ruling the life instead of any other religion (which is useless), and to ruling the life by mind, it’s necessary to belief in the power of their minds and that are able to do everything, so without that certitude in their power and their authenticity, they can’t rely so much on their mind, and that means the belief. Religion was like a shadow of the humanity since the first age in obvious way that nobody can deny it.

    But Then they couldn’t continue in this way, because the spiritual side is empty and they’ve to cover it, not because the creator needs the obedience of human to him, but because the inner need of human to his creator to filling the spiritual emptiness, therefore a lot of people were( /are still ) looking for that mean to filling the shortage in the Far East (especially in the philosophical currents of Hinduism and Buddhism) or and learn that by their money instead of following the steps of their spiritual physicians sent by the god (like one scholar has said). As examples, people are learning yoga, or tai-chi, although we can’t deny their advantages on body and mind, like some other sports too, but not enough to cover all the spiritual needs in the modern life even if they calm down a bit that need, but can’t resist longer nor getting nirvana with life’s hardships.

    Furthermore, nowadays the social and economic pressures on every person are more than they were in decades before, because the world’s situation troubled in different sides, and so the feelings of fear increase too into everyone, that what explain (according studies) the inclination to astrology just to hearing what they want to hear and calming down their fears from totally the unclear future.

    People without a metaphysical stability are facing a lot of changes in the physical world, and they get many colors of distraction in life to have that chaos and wonder always, that lead many times to waves of depression, wondering, suicide ….etc. This last has high rates among the no-religious societies, and that reveals on the loss of the goal into their hearts, why do we live? And for which purpose are we living a period of certain years then leave this world? The true meaning from life totally is into the answer. Can the mind works with religion together to give a convenient answer?
