12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 212

Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 212

~ Peculiarity, Uniqueness, Distinction / 1st Reprise ~

      To state again, it is appropriate to infer so to clarify, the individual simultaneously even inseparably possesses the following three. Firstly the individual possesses the characteristic human as the specie within the genus of all other living species. Secondly the individual possesses the peculiar or unique ability to reason. Thirdly the individual possesses the constant prerogative and the consistent preference to consent or dissent, to accept or reject, to agree or disagree, to continue or discontinue at the conclusive end of each and every reasoning sequence.

      It is critical at this juncture to understand the simultaneous and inseparable natures while equally critical to understand the constant and consistent presences of the aforementioned. If clearly understood, then it is logical to contend these possessions as absolutes per the simultaneous, inseparable natures, and constant, consistent presences. Are not determined similarly the sunrise and sunset (as one of many examples), simultaneous and inseparable to the arrival of dawn and dusk then light and darkness thus day and night, constant and consistent therefore absolutes?

      The absoluteness of the sunrise and sunset hence respective characteristics are of course matters merely factual hence amoral. However, matters factual yet quite moral are the absoluteness of the specie human within the genus of all other living species, simultaneous and inseparable to the peculiar or unique ability to reason, along with the constant prerogative and the consistent preference to consent or dissent, to accept or reject, to agree or disagree, to continue or discontinue at the conclusive end of each and every reasoning sequence.

      To morally illustrate further, for also constant and consistent the frustration even anger per an individual’s reaction if another intervenes, interferes, interrupts or inhibits the former’s prerogative and preference to consent or dissent as manifested by the ability to reason. The nearly involuntary frustration even anger, and truly involuntary raising of hairs on back of neck, well indicates a situation preferentially undesirable, intolerable else unbearable, then so constantly, consistently judged as presumption often arrogance, remaining unresolved always as an ethical dilemma until end of the intervention, interference, interruption or inhibition.

Hence study, ponder, labor `twixt the endeavors longstanding

Albeit experiences longsuffering, ever befitting, often blessings

From sticks to bricks, plows to circuits, cavern walls to books

The mind well reasoned per errors upon efforts since tenderfoot

The core, the root, fraught per rot, “All for not!” as most lament

As though foot in cement, society hell-bent, no ladies, nor gents

For dignity well spent, moral garments rent near consuming fires

Liken funeral pyres, while gypsies dance to “fool’s gold” lyres

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
