Conditions That Portray Us
1.- I am the way I am. (Each person is the way they are).
Accepting my neighbour as is, reflects the ideal society. We have been on the earth for thousands of years, and we still haven't learned to live in peace and harmony with each other. We must remember: "Love thy neighbour as thyself."
2.- I do what I can. (Each person does what they can).
We limit ourselves to what is possible: human society's actual status quo. It shows how limited we are. We do what we can, and that's it. Although it reflects freedom, at the same time, it brings up social irresponsibility, chaos, discontentment, frustration, and other evils. Why. We want to do more, but we hold ourselves back. We can't jump the fence that keeps us behind.
3.- I do what I should. (Each person does what they should).
It implies an obligation to something. So, this condition can be both positive and negative. We can use this condition to dominate another. It's in human nature. Therefore, it may become dangerous for the freedom of individuals, as a 'duty' can be imposed on them, a duty that may become a trap. Doing what one should do is correct, but, as with everything human, it is a dagger with two edges. Threats privacy, transform individuals into automats through misinformation, make them manageable through diverse tools, fear, the most widely used as a weapon.
4.- I do what I should not. (Some people do what they should not).
It means going against the rules of society. We openly go against laws, and so we steal, murder, lie, commit adultery, etc. Still, societies survive this condition, although debilitating ourselves as every wrong behaviour becomes standard. Still, under the frame of contained chaos, we accept this condition.
We are on the road to perfection; therefore, we must strive to find balance among ourselves, nature, and the universe. We must see ourselves as we are, understand what we are doing, and react to what nature and the universe expect from us.
