‘’Humanity is the
ability to be selfish to the well-being and sustenance of one’s self and those around’’ Darkwave Arudi.

The projection of humanity in today’s society has left me
pondering on the twisted understanding of the principles.
Recalling the principles that govern this is very vital. Some
principles we should reflect on:
1. Cooperation:
This is the act of two beings coordinating
on a function, task, mission, visual, art, play….. to achieve an outcome. The
outcome being relative, as both beings are ideally to rise above the stipulated
act
In society today, the cooperation among
being has evolved to the subordination. This is where the perceived weak party
in the team bows to the results that the superior finds suitable in the
situation. An example 1: I’m one of the persons that wonder the purpose of
voting for the lesser evil contender…. I long for the day that nationals will
unite and refuse to vote completely for lack of a real ideal president. That to
me will be power transfer back and maybe cooperation can mutate to function
well.
In humanity, the society formed ‘poor’
people; subjected to a life of low ‘standards of living’ as our educated
people called it. The fact that classes exist and yes… If classes would mean
progress for all then yes… in this case, classes: exploit, violate, limit
and take the resources, energy and humanity of the people they created as poor
fails my judgement.
What exactly is our cooperation in humanity
governed by….. treaties, laws, U.N…
2. Accommodation:
This is the realization or the rationality
of accepting the diverse nature of beings and learning how to allow them in
space.
This is a fallacy in all fallacies that we
as society propagate. Conformity is a construct of norms
that apparently govern the operation of society, the deviation from the norm has resulted to beings who seem ‘queer’ be
alienated and painted as mistakes to all. The sexual minorities for instance
have a duty to convince the society of their validity. A weird aspect; as they
are born to the world. The fact that human beings have adorned the power to
themselves to govern who is to exist in a world that they themselves didn’t
chose in their right of birth, is alarming.
Due to terror attacks, unrest in boundaries
prevalent- persons are displaced (refugees’ /asylum
seekers). The reality that we created boundaries to mark the land we supposedly
think belongs to us in invalid, the manifestation of creating an environment
that a fellow human being has to be validated to stay in an area is quite impractical
Persons born with a challenge…. Those that
we term as ‘persons with disability’ have a challenge of accommodation and room to thrive in society.
Services from: public amenities, medication, machinery (wheelchairs.),
employment opportunities et.al are the disabilities that those with ‘abilities’;
guard, neglect and gain profits from. Humanity huh?
3. Assimilation:
It is the process where individuals belonging
to different cultures/ Ideals are united into one. Implying the merge and
fusion of two or more ‘bodies’ into a single common body/ unit.
Arts is the non-explainable aspect of
humanity that creates this reality. Music, painting, poetry, writing, cinema,
theatre…. has elevated our cultures and way of life to the global aspect.
Sad that in society, power controls art
spread, and at times the use of art has consequences that are unrestrained
Could be continued……
