Human beings have not been able to create more of any mineral, nor change the way a vegetable seed produces a vegetable, or affect the breeding of any animal.\u00a0 These three elements still are as they were millennia ago.\u00a0 Their ‘ruler’ has not been lax or weak or taken bribes or turned one vegetable against another, or disturbed the natural order of things in ecosystems – in the sense that this balance will return on its own when Humankind decides to allow this.<\/p>\n
It’s quite a different story when we look at what we, as humans, have managed to do to each other and how much we have managed to pressure the natural order of things despite its resilience. The modern successes and problems we face can therefore be laid squarely at the feet of human beings.<\/p>\n

We are not part of the ecosystem.\u00a0 We don’t eat others.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In fact, we do things for others.\u00a0 Examples are that we educate each other.\u00a0 We look for justice for each other.\u00a0 We produce things for each other<\/p>\n

We have not worked out that our policy making,<\/span> and value systems have a certain independence, autonomy, from the power and harmony of nature.\u00a0 While nature continues on her harmonious and integrated path with enormous momentum and certainty, we, in our freedom of choice, have an impact that is reflected back to us in many ways.<\/p>\n Examples are that natural balances are disturbed, social structures are affected, economies work better or worse and so on. The bottom line is that it is only us that make these impacts. We don’t seem to have worked this out.<\/p>\n We manage both the successes and failures in these pivotal ways.\u00a0 Firstly, we legislate laws always wanting to favour something or someone, rather than everyone.\u00a0 We apply them in favour of some but against others. This can only have one effect, and this is to alienate some.\u00a0 The outcome of these inequalities requires a response in more complex laws or opposition in the form of underground, mafia, and so on.\u00a0 The second way we manage our collective successes and failures is that we educate our people today based on political, religious or economic preferences.\u00a0 Education, however, should have as its base the development of the child and the human being incorporating a love for learning so that they can stand on their own in the world free from such early manipulation and capacity pruning.\u00a0 Thirdly, we manage our collective failures and successes in that we have made the world of economy today, our god.\u00a0 People with material wealth are the chosen ones.\u00a0 The reality, however, is that in pursuing anything in life for personal gain is the root of destruction in any social environment.<\/p>\n In the above the ways, we are truly autonomous of the greater natural order of things and in this impact nature a bit, but ourselves a lot.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n The Russia Ukraine scenario is one such living example where nature still exists and continues but social structures are being torn apart at the seams in the most destructive of manners because of the human policies and values that are being forced on peoples<\/span> in this area.\u00a0 The same applies to the Israeli\/Palestinian situation.\u00a0 There are many more such cases and more developing as we speak.<\/p>\n Urban and international transportation works well in many parts of the world. We have roads, cars, airplanes, internet, bicycles, trains, and boats. We also have communication, distribution and supply systems for all our needs.<\/p>\n Humankind is capable of all the above, but they don’t exist or function in all parts of the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within the abundant and beautiful natural environment of South Africa, all of which is guided by the committed, holistic, wise, synchronized, beautiful wisdom of God’s nature, we have human beings with their policies and value systems.\u00a0 They form the basis of what appears as our society within the abundance given us.\u00a0 These policies and value systems bring their autonomy to bear on both nature and the social organism.\u00a0 Their effects are easy to see if one can observe them objectively and without bias.\u00a0 These effects are written about daily.\u00a0 This piece is about the solution which as Einstein so poignantly said, clearly cannot be expected from more of the same.\u00a0 Why do we have to follow the east or the west?\u00a0 Why not just do what will yield something sustainable?<\/strong><\/p>\n Herein lies this solution:<\/p>\n The legal justice system, the economy, and the religious and education systems must be recognized in their specific roles within the whole for reasons given in the introductory paragraphs.<\/em><\/p>\n We have to start with the religious and educational foundations that form the material of our society<\/strong>.\u00a0 All tasks taken on by all our people are done on the basis of their upbringing and education. Education means the holistic unfolding of a full human being; not one brainwashed, starved, or unskilled.\u00a0 If we move earnestly in this direction, we will have great people in the legal justice system and in business.<\/em>\u00a0 They will do what is needed for others, not what is good for themselves as is the case today.\u00a0 For the human capacity needed in the world, it needs a certain autonomy from regulation based on religion, race, and political desire.\u00a0 It also needs the will and resources dedicated to its unfolding in freedom.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Assuming we have some of this going for us, we will need an economy following a similarly autonomous path, freed from political objectives and rather in pursuit of communal benefits.<\/em>\u00a0 The better trained and more ‘in touch with themselves’ people that choose to live in the economic realm will give a real impetus to business.\u00a0 Having free-thinking and morally sober people will drive costs down, efficiency up, and create profits far greater than we are seeing today.\u00a0<\/strong> From this, our spending on education and the legal justice system becomes easier.\u00a0 This is a self-fulfilling recipe for a healthy social life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The political and legal justice system, now made up of unscarred and holistically unfolded people will, and need to, hold their autonomy.<\/em>\u00a0 They will do this by feeding real, objective statistics of regional and national importance into the public domain.\u00a0 They will get the tenders out there to all people in economy, fairly and without bias and favouritism.\u00a0 Law making will have at its root that they must apply to all people equally and be unashamedly objective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is all a far-flung possibility for South Africa today.\u00a0 What we currently have is an entanglement of the above three pillars that should form the base of a healthy social order.\u00a0<\/strong> This entanglement is at the core of our current ineffective state, our collapsing infrastructure, and our social dissatisfaction.\u00a0 Our unemployment and the gap between rich and poor will only be resolved with such clear thinking as has been put forward above.\u00a0 Continuing to entangle the three core elements required for the liberation of any society will only keep us where we are.\u00a0 The rest of the world have the same challenges but in differing areas of emphasis. We are not precious in this regard. We are just one instance within the whole.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those that need hard hitting examples related to the current circumstances in SA, here are some.\u00a0 They are the subject of daily news that offers only criticism and not solutions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/themissinglinc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Failings-300x150.jpg\")
