12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 219

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. 219

~ Two Propositions on Humanity and Polity / 1st Reprise ~

However obvious, it should be duly noted. Gravely lacking omnipresence, omniscience hence omnipotence, humanity operates in time, along inescapable timelines, therefore limited in movement, knowledge hence ability/power, consequently the constant propensity for error and excess. Concisely, if not infinite, then quite finite are all individuals, including all self-acclaimed elites of various sorts. Yet to complicate further, all are simultaneously burdened and blessed with human instinct, human emotion as well the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason, inseparably the Singular Human Right to Consent or Not Consent (see Proem & Poem No. 50).

If to combine the constant Human Propensity for Error and Excess with ever-present Human Tendency for Covetousness, there arises the inescapable conflict. Therefore the question (see Proem & Poem Nos. 147-155); what is Covetousness if not one desiring something other than what he/she would be, do and/or have per his/her own ability and resource, subsequently digressing into presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon others, violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what one covets to be, do and/or have.

What is covetousness if not one desiring an existence, condition, status, position then property, possession, preference even (a) person beyond his/her own time, space, reason, knowledge, skill, labor, resource as well physicality, psychology, propensity, personality to imagine it, understand it, innovate it, produce it, barter for it, exchange for it, negotiate it, obtain it, maintain it, defend it thus again the presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon others, violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what one covets to be, do and/or have.

And what of covetousness if not the Biblical 10th Commandment broken before breaking all other commandments, the theological sin committed before committing all other sins. Comparatively and universally, what of covetousness if not the logically initial disposition entertained before entertaining further hence presuming, arrogating then violating others’ dissent on any and all matters.

And so the insidiousness the alleged conversions then allowances
For this and tolerances for that, reallowances per expected affiances
Such blind faith else resigned ignorance, yet each twilight one wraith
Scathing the minds, raping the intellects withal nakedness swathed 

Forlorn inwardly, although swilling outwardly, excessively
Errantly hence monstrously, ah societies’ odes perversely
Per illogic upon hypotheses, fitly, egotistic preferences
Covetously driven as the given, arrogating for conveniences

---

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