  • The attitude you describe is, I believe, the result of capitalist and religious propaganda that reinforces individualism rather than collectivist and non-religious yet spiritual philosophies. Those like Hinduism, Confucianism, Zen and Toaism.

    Not to sell any one in particular but the common thread in the East is a different perspective than a boss in the sky eternally judging each individual.

    Even if you aren't religious, advertising will tell you you're a special, unique and seperate individual. Desiring to stand out as famous, beautiful, smart, funny, strong etc is just a trap but one desired by many. Unfortunately, to be above others, then others must be below you. To be rich, there must be poor.

    An understanding of this force of balance shows that to minimise the extremes of poverty you must minimise the extremes of wealth.

    The East sees our true self is the larger whole of which we as Humanity are a small part of. While your name may seperate you conceptually, none of us are separate from the air we breath or the stars we see. Nothing is seperate even though the mind feels and believes it is so. Are you really in control? Do you beat your heart? When you make a decision, do you first decide to decide?

    I only say all this because, when one genuinely switches thinking this way, then naturally you want to be generous and caring towards all others because you see everything as yourself includeing all that is non human.

    These philosophies are not the complete answer to our problems because many of these philosophies were born in China and, even though it's embedded in their culture, they are still struggling like everyone else. But a more modern widespread common understanding of the true nature of the situation may be beneficial.

  • The really interesting part of that quote is: what am I?

    Modern culture would have us define ourselves as a lonely and isolated centres of awareness trapped inside a human body. But if I must define my environment to define myself as an organism (e.g. I don't exist in a vacuum of suspended emptiness) then the definition of 'l' includes the environment.

    What's missing in modern culture is a definition of 'I' that's all encompassing and all inclusive. I am me because you are you and the two are inter-dependant. I'm not religious but I do have an interest in theology and philosophy. When Jesus said "I and the Father are one", he meant literally, only the Catholic church would have you believe he's a special edge case and the good word, that we're are all one, never got out.

    I challenge anyone reading this to put disbelief aside for a day and temporarily accept that everyone you meet is another version of you in disguise. That you all share the same source of consciousness that has been differentiated by your genetic container (your body) and unique experience/perspective, and see how your attitude towards others changes. Or in other words, take the philosophy of 'Treat others the way you would want others to treat you' literally.

    Personally, I define 'l' as the whole cosmos. I don't know how I do it but neither do I know how my stomach digests. A doctor could explain how digestion works but that doesn't help them digest any better than me. It just happens.

  • I see this as just another step towards the extremes of ridiculousness that is fundamentalist Islamic religion. Imagine being so disconnected from existence, and being so hypnotised by words, that you would subjugate those in your culture who, through their natural virtue, embody the positive characteristics of the very god they describe and worship such as love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, yeilding, giving etc.
