More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 118

Most likely to be published later this summer or fall of 2019, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More 100 Proems & 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 previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 118 - Burden of Responsibility and Risk / 1st Reprise

      As stated previously (see No. 117), if another person bears voluntarily the responsibility and/or risk, nonexistent is the additional burden normally by the use of enforcement, although not without negative residuals. Upon transferring the burden, exasperated are the actor’s ever-present human propensities for error and excess, marginal initially however exponential ultimately. For the actor, now relieved of responsibility and/or risk, lacks incentive to moderate or constrain when pursuing self-interest. No longer vulnerable to the natural state of human activity, the actor increasingly errs and excesses until one or more sustaining, enabling, co-depending dynamic wanes then ceases hence fails, thereby the resulting personal crisis.  

      Now consider the same immoderation per one burden transferred to another voluntarily, when coercively soon compounded hence complicated by the newly acquired burden of responsibility and risk upon the actor’s human activity of enforcement. However this is isn’t the end of it. The new burden never remains static but proportionately increases as those initially dissented therefore continuously coerced resent, resist, and more so as the condition persists intolerably even deplorably.

      It follows. Moral teachings within the various contexts religious, theological, spiritual, philosophical, ideological, educational consequently social as well political cannot achieve any measure of moderate character without human activity’s burden of responsibility and risk. Regardless, undeniably constant is this burden or dynamic, either preexisting human existence or immediately present upon two or more individuals encountering (an interesting parallel, Mt 18:20). To go further, the burden is the moral teacher, naturally ordered or divinely instituted, Darwinian if so evolved or Biblical if so created, personal perspectives or preferences matter not, it unavoidably, inescapably just is.

The immoderate sorting, cavorting, escorting, opportunists

Colluding as whores, accruing thus more with political artists

Deluding with clipped coins, denuding, stripping to purloin

Overtly too, from pocket to purse, along loin, down to groin

Privacy, propensity, property as well; all sacred as one Ism

Ergo singularly and so the Right, else endless the schisms

Infinite the lists, bills, articles, instead to Consent or Not

Resent those who ought regard and respect the Human Lot

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