Democracy and Mood Swings

If democracy is fundamentally imperative for a good and moral society as often implied even cited erroneously, then to be consistent, boundless mood swings must be regarded as fundamentally imperative for a good and moral person.

Democracy is not inherently noble, virtuous or principled, merely an amoral method among others for determining and making decisions within groups of any sort. On its own, democracy is susceptible to societal, political swings as irrationally extreme as unprincipled thus unbridled emotions or unchecked moods, knee-jerking to events, trends, fads, raves, rants as well contrivances. Occasional susceptibility soon turns to chronic vulnerability then terminal malignity.

As such, human instincts common among all other species are politically empowered hence covetously encouraged by the unconstrained vote, furthered gravely per human reasoning tainted and skewed upon selfishly ignored and/or legislatively mitigated responsibility and risk. At this juncture, democracy have made horizonlessly wide the path of least resistance towards cozening then confiscating any and all possessions and resources of others.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Diversity per French cognac, Italian coffee and American chocolate...

Diversity per French cognac, Italian coffee and American chocolate :-), accompanying tonight's writing for my current book project, accordingly....

"Covetousness is never satiated, albeit seemingly yet temporarily subsiding upon each coveted objective’s alleged success and perceived benefit. Alleged and perceived for always tainted marginally else considerably the success and benefit by the disparity between the anticipative imagination versus the acquisitive realization, that is to say, the psychological, emotional digression from pursuit’s greater euphoria to possession’s lesser dysphoria.

The inevitable depths within this covetously vicious cycle is repeated disappointment as mentioned, displeasure to follow, if unchecked then festering to bitterness, resentment, rancor as well hate, rage onto violence towards others predictably and oneself paradoxically. Socially then soon politically, such digressions are oft disguised as something else; righteous anger, moral outrage, thereby personally, arbitrarily preferring then illogically, unethically justifying a form of “by any means necessary”, nonetheless narcissistically empowering by sententiously pontificating hate and violence."

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall"; a politically convenient mantra...

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall"; a politically convenient mantra thus sentimentally useful propaganda, recited and sung unquestionably therefore mindlessly yet this poet rejects logically therefore passionately. For per history understood, I would be incline to prefer something more observably and notably accurate as "United We Presume, Intrude, Destruct then Erode till Last Desperate, Feeble Stand", although ethically, consistently and sustainably remedied by "Individually We Each Prefer, Consent, Dissent, Study, Ponder, Labor then Carry On till Last Responsible, Honorable Breath."

Quote by W. Stanley Jevons

"The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them."

W. Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)

A third or so into his book Thinking as a Science, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993) recommends Jevons' book Elementary Lessons In Logic Deductive & Inductive, thus immediately bought it online, received it yesterday ergo the quote above.

As much as we have no power to interfere with laws of thought as Mr Jevons suggests, or perhaps no right to interfere per common human propensity to dissent against the interference (as I prefer to suggest), government insists and persists to expend resources, exert effort as well exercise compulsion so to persuade individual thought therefore manipulate collective behavior. Thusly provided in part by centrally designed pedagogy, funded in part by centrally planned economy, the persuasion and manipulation are for the sole purpose to preempt the otherwise rightfully self-interested dissent in favor of facilitating craftily imbued consent.

The most profoundly far-reaching Biblical commentary of the 20th century...

The most profoundly far-reaching Biblical commentary of the 20th century was by theologian Francis Schaeffer. But do not let my bold assessment keep you from reading further...

One oft argues, qualifies then categorizes his/her own preferences as principles while others' preferences as whims as well errors and detriments. The condition, intellectually disoriented even psychologically disordered, seems to exhibit one of numerous human paradoxes, yet more importantly, unquestionably thus precisely, an ethical dilemma impossible to resolve. However the seemingly paradoxical dynamic as often unrecognized or ignored is of course covetousness. For if lingeringly entertained, presumption usually proceeds into such qualifying and categorizing of preferences of one or some versus others, followed by arrogance then violence manifested by personal, social or political actions against the dissented.

"The climax of the Ten Commandments is the Tenth Commandment – 'Thou shat not covet' – this commandment is an entirely inward thing.  Actually, we break this commandment before we break any of the others."

The aforementioned quote is perhaps the most profoundly far-reaching Biblical commentary of the 20th century, well articulated and postulated by theologian Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984) in his 1971 book True Spirituality, identifying the last of the Ten Commandments as already broken before breaking any of the previous nine. To summarize; all sins spring from the one sin; covetousness. Yet the profoundness thus consistency of that truth are best understood by rightly expanding the previous statement. The disrespect and disregard of others' dissent thus actions against the same, spring always from covetousness first, soon followed by presumption then arrogance and if acted upon personally, socially or politically; violence.

This poet submits (maybe too persistently) covetousness as the common sin among humanity. It logically follows, common grace for humanity is discovered by recognizing then respecting and regarding others' universal propensity and consequentially sole right to consent and dissent on all matters.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
