Lessons on humanity (for those who split us as "left" or "right").
Lesson Number 1: There are only a few on the far ends of "free" and "control",...ALL of us want a safe and fulfilling place in this world.

Lesson Number 2: Everyone wants to be their best.

Lesson Number 3: Everyone is connected to the lives of their family.

Lesson Number 4: Everyone wants justice.

Lesson Number 5: There are those who can find no satisfaction in their lives and are compelled in controlling the lives of others to satisfy a need that will NEVER be met.

Lesson Number 6: Without the EQUAL enforcement of rules/law that protect humanity, the weakest of human character will rise up and fuck up human advancement *LOL*.


These are merely the observations of "Just Me". Please, add your observations. Surely, together, we can figure.

1. You are right not to mistake words like "left" "right"

for the reality that they (the words) only POINT to. Too often people function as though a word, any word, and reality are identical.

2. Those who define us in such ways are bent upon empowering themselves.
It's a "vision" of humanity that assumes those who by LUCK hold power or influence are graced by their own lot in life. That is wrong if they face what actually advanced humanity: the powerless and oppressed.

The moment that a person gains power, is the moment that s/he makes a choice between serving self or exploiting those whom they were supposed to serve.
