The Constructive Evolution of Democracy - An Essential Point of View

The Oxford dictionary defines political science as “the branch of knowledge that deals with the state and systems of government; the scientific analysis of political activity and behaviour”. The following commentary on the systemic dilution and pre-existing dilemmas of democracy is an interpretation founded within learned, experienced, individualised, conceptually visceral, visual, auditory and autonomous human observations and responses within the boundaries of the essential democratic process and its science. Tackling old democracy and its lesser than political extensions, whilst promoting a constructive new hope in its wake is the impetus behind my opinions, together with points of perspective and perception. My yearning is to see the emergence of a new, transparent, constructively practised democracy; collectively indicative of all beneficially progressive values and beliefs. An evolved new system of democratic process inclusive of all. The democracy of old; an antiquated entitled allowance placating an already existing overly masticated and mutilated form of governance requires an extensive over haul of epic proportions to remain relevant. The old democracy is in extremis and we need not resuscitate. Never before has the need to update or decimate the constructive evolution of democracy been so prevalent. Within this insightful humanity progressive ideologies become transformative life changing capabilities. Political evolution and revolution, must be rife with equal opportunity, undeniably considerate of all with a need to be recognised. Here within the lost art of democracy we become the most necessary motivation to provide alternate examples of constructive evolution, rehabilitating and redefining the lost art of the sincerely transparent and justly all-inclusive democratic process. Constructively united; reflecting hard enough, long enough, and truthfully enough, would we enjoy our collective democratic reflection? Breaking down this focused observation requires only but one prerequisite, that of honest intent. Preemptively my individual focus suggests a unified human race, motivated, authenticated, combined in harmony. Imagine a newly evolved democratic inclusion, beholden of the balanced capacities necessary to create honest reflection, mirroring that of our most favourable intents; our neighbour, friend, and family. Inclusive of all yet to be met, the excitedly unfamiliar, informed, aware, peaceful, practical, and determined human equals. Primed with similarities and intentions, when understood and perhaps even combined, could we set humanity on a forward-thinking mindful course, bound to shine our most precious facets of life for all. Surely deserved we are destined to become all we can be, found again in our new humanity together. Romantic notions sometimes be not naïve; indeed, moments of unison form notions found among recognised humanity. Surely positive inclusive direction is found here?   Why do we choose long winded and perhaps overly antiquated humanities as the basis of solving indifferent misunderstood peculiarities and particularities? Can dilemmas of imbalanced moralities with objectifiable comparison be considered democratic aestheticism? Is guilt of consciousness suffocating the most generous of souls extinguishing opportunities garnered, denied to shine, yet controlled by agencies unavailable and inept at providing politically wholistic solutions. Hunger for motivation requires commitment to self and community. To be denied such basic human interactions have come at a cost to all involved in our current climate. Most importantly voices have been quelled by sufferance, indifference and an incomplete and incompetent objectivity set by democratic agency. Interpretive belief in democratic indifference has the destructive ability to create an atmosphere of melancholic inadequacy that plagiarizes any sense of hope in a system of governance that serve only the majority, leaving the minority to become dissolvent in their existence. Cognitive distortions in association with deceptive propaganda often espouses soul, mind, and purpose, reflecting an oppositions constant implicative delineation of minorities. This technique of old democracy promotes a toxic environment from where an individual’s neural pathways are essentially bought into alignment with perceived democratic highly incidental yet intentionally calculated tolerability’s. This highly practised political volatility essentially promotes a dumbing down, lack lustre oppressive distortion among minorities through the vehicle of old democratic moral majority. Moral bankruptcy and similar politically charged contagions become second nature when nurture is removed from democracy’s causality.  Ego becomes rife, what should be common causes become points of reference in character assassination. The cultivation of entitlement among majorities wrought with ego is what weakens the democratic process creating an antiquated and imbalanced humanity. Division, disruption and distraction, in addition to a systemic democratic blood-letting is at this present time second nature. So wide is its prevalence, once fought, found, fondled and misused among those with great power and position sedition inevitably follows. How do we provide a solution for all that plagues our democratic humanity? Motivation governs the responses to democratic evolution. Motivation redefines effective communication, balanced inclusivity based on the principles of true equality and honest mutual obligations. Politicized fiction and destructive propaganda are the inadequacies found in the democracy of old. Evolution of human rights dictate that if change does not occur, together, none will survive our hypocritical democratic languish. Mindful execution, combining resolute decisiveness, exercising policy that reflects unbiased and supportive measures derived constructively, then practised, bridging all gaps among minorities and sub-cultures found within. Balanced evenly represented policy provides opportunity encouraging the development of uniquely humanitarian possibility. If authentic in expressive intent the impossible will be neutralized as states of mind are heard, found and provided for.  The suggestion of collectively seeking fair solution reign supreme in the evolution of democracy. Cognitive dissonance, even, fair, equal rights for all regardless of majority or minority status need to achieve a oneness between our universally compassionate human psyche. Evolved democracy requires mutual obligation on all sides with total and absolute transparency. Ease of accessibility, maintenance of participation, fair and equal representations within any evolution of democracy must include all citizens. The antiquated democracy of the past was not only discriminatory but exceptionally apparent within its unavailability and inaccessible bias, unbalanced for most. Remember your voices’ obligatory privilege. Your voices’ right to be heard. Your voice and choice have the capacities to unite a future for all, inclusively. Enthusiastic engagement with a new standard of democratic processes can once again make us all stronger as a community. To find accessibility, legislation, comfortability, affordability and equality within a fair democratic society is key. Understanding is the hope of a newly recognized democracy. Majority or minority is the motivation, your combined manifestations are crucial in transforming working parties into invested and accountable political humanitarians. Allowing honest possibilities and progressive motivations provide an environment for distinctively conceivable and highly regarded mutual obligations to yourself, your neighbour, friend, family, and acquaintance yet to meet. Potential will always go unrecognized when not allowed the voice to disseminate its concepts. This exclusion extinguishes any possibility and promise in the hope of elevating constructive lifestyles, love, and our individual, and collectively learnt experiences. Option is gifted to the wise, education gifted to those with passion toward progression. Indecisiveness agitates ego placating nothing but repetitious in exclusivity, benefiting no one but the antiquation of old school democratic insecurities.     “Constructive persistence releases cooperative destructive resistance.” – Russell Hawkins.   VOTE CHOICE VOICE

[edu-macation]

If I asked you to hold your breath for no apparent reason other than my own want to see you turn blue, in order to entertain myself, would you accommodate my request? If you knew this act would perpetrate injustice though maintain perceived balance would you allow it for “the better good”. If you answered no, then what if I told you it was the law?

Is choice just another antiquated overinflated and over extended ideology that’s meanings lost all hope and dignity? Is choice really choice? Surely the current climate would suggest that individual choice is irrelevant, yet not irrelevant enough not to be taken advantage of?

(There is unique individual power in this last sentence; remember your choice however vague to the ears it falls upon is most relevant if constructive)

Be them of passive or aggressive intent or combinations of both, guised indifferences offered as choice burn dark shadows on this mostly unrealised and forgotten human ideology, nurturing unbalanced conceptions and exploitations rife with hypocrisy. By hypocritical dominion alone following the environment around yourself in order to maintain the status quo is the perfect example of the broken leading the blind into the umpteenth repetitious cycle of ego and subsequent indecision.

Choice and ego, like oil and water if shaken hard and fast enough, you too also could be convinced, they will mix. For any singular individual to underestimate the capacity of their own thought process is a loss of human dignity. Wants and needs are two very different beasts of choice and like oil and water they differentiate necessity from the malignancy of overly abused power.

Personally, I too have unknowingly surrendered my choice upon reflection when it became apparent that in actual fact, I was no longer in possession of it; or at least that is what I was led to believe. Many ego’s including my own were drowning in what I believe most saw as light, truth, choice. Was I by default setting becoming a burden of individual, societal and collective disappointment? Perhaps here is a realisation we all must learn from.

Why can it seem as though we are so hung up on the currency of choice rather than its concepts of option, growth and constructive realisation?

Pin pointing the exact moment choice lost its meaning seems futile and redundant. Evolution of this once potentially constructive ideology is required if choice is to be valued today and, in the future. Rather than commoditized and taxed; perhaps the willingness to accept choice should indeed come from a place of honest togetherness rather than bias opinion.

What of obligation within choice? I often naively have confused the two, yet mostly we are led to believe in the symbiotic relationships between both. Destructive obligations make strange bed fellows with choice; whilst constructive individual choice extends the hands of opportunity and progression regardless of age, class, religion, sex or sexuality. This is the essential, beneficial and constructive make up or DNA of informed and educated conscious choice.

Obligation is defined as an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment. Example: "I have an obligation to look after her". Similarly obligation can be defined as responsibility, moral imperative, function, task, job, chore, assignment, burden. Such a minefield of markers used to exact an inorganic and forced choice rather than garner an individual’s authentic and organic response seems very one-sided. Choice ought to be liberating; something to witness, to believe in, and, most of all to feel no pressure in providing, for its providence is not only profound, but productive when offered authentically.

“And just like the wave and the wave preceding it, the water too shall come ashore in its own time; destined is its truth. Tide nor turmoil govern, honest reflection guides, certain of one thing, the truth; the shore”

“Ah, and how the light was shining, they had learnt the hard lessons of choice; decisions never to be taken lightly. Obligation seemed to supress, yet freedom of choice when used constructively unlocked the tightest of chains. Unbound; they, we, and us all, were freed today; come what may.”  

-UNKNOWN

What is it to oblige one’s self? Is obligation necessary? Or the harbinger of choice?

From whom do the conditions under which you may be morally or legally bound to do something that you find immorally or illegally differential substantiated?

Are you under obligation to stick to their scheme? Is your direction or choice a debt of gratitude for service or favour? "Obligation dictates often that he or she didn't want to be under an obligation to him or her". The question to be asked here is obvious. Did they have a choice?

Confusing to a fault can anyone choose anything anymore? Is it now out of antiquated choice or one-sided “mutual obligation” that options are displayed seeking the highest human quotient in popularity bending and leaning toward segregation rather than the integration of constructive thought?

Is it just me or have we been here before?

“Cyclical was there nature to a fault that they believed they were the earth! Repetition of conquest dictated destruction. How choice obliged her to reconcile”

Where does loyalty stand among the concepts of choice or is loyalty just another ill-conceived mechanism used to perpetuate destructive intent and the manifestations of control? It’s worth reflection. Hey, it’s your choice; use it wisely!

The Little Boy And A Mouse Called Roy

In the countdown to Christmas, I’ve had my ear to the ground, in hopes of discovering, a jingling sound.

After patiently waiting, and walking the streets, I believe I’ve found the perfect story, a real Christmas treat.

Down on the corner is a house, light pistachio green. There is a mother, a father, a bright little boy, and a little mouse, in a little house, that the little boy, calls Roy,  

Roy’s house is found, down on the ground, in a small hole in the hallway near where the hat stand is found.

Roy is small, round, and brown, polite to a T. Roy is the way he was born to be, polite and caring, just the way he wants to be. Roy lives alone, no other mice here you see. It is just mum dad, Roy and me.

So, I wrote to Santa, asking for nothing this year. Instead, I asked jolly Santa to send Roy a family, and a golden bell, brimming with cheer. That was the little boys, living is giving, Christmas idea.

On the eve of Christmas, we all placed gifts underneath the tree. I had made mine myself for mummy and daddy. My mummy’s name is Patricia while my Daddy’s name is Paddy.

I made a tiny tree for Roy that I left by his hole in the wall. He came out smiling, his nose twitched, I think he was glad. So glad for it all.

As I drifted to sleep, I thought of my dear Santa letter. Wishing Roy’s gifts would be delivered, making Roy happier, for the better.

When I woke Christmas morning, I was sure happy to see, that indeed no gift from Santa was left for me under the tree.

I then looked to the ground, where Roy’s house is found. I felt a tingle, I shivered, then I heard a jingle, a tiny bell was singing, singing to me, it was underneath Roy’s tiny Christmas tree.

I blinked my eyes, Roy was not alone, he had a new mouse friend now, now his house was a home. His friend was white, as white as snow. I named the little white mouse, I named him Jerome.

I was oh so happy, and oh so pleased, that I knelt down and cried, I cried on my knees. They weren’t tears of sadness, but tears of joy, for the golden bell, and Jerome, and Roy as well.

Next thing you know, by the tree magically did appear, a letter addressed, “To Roy’s Little Boy”. It just kept getting better, and better, it was simply the best.

I opened the envelope, inside was a note, a note from Santa, this is what Santa’s note wrote.

“Dear Little Boy, I was so pleased to read, your choice about giving to others in need. You requested no gift, a true Christmas sacrifice. It wasn’t long before the elves told my wife. Mrs Claus is the reason Roy has his new friend, but this letters not over, until you get to the end. Your love for others, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, really is something to see. Little boy now look up now, look up at the tree. I left you a present, I have left you a key. This key is special, it unlocks a chest, within it is placed what you love the best. My dearest child, always believe, that giving is better than receiving, especially when others are most in need.”

This is the story my ear found on the ground. A Christmas treat, pure and sweet, with the all-important jingling sound.  I hear you all asking “What was in the little boy’s chest?”

“Come back again, I’ll tell you all next year, wait and see, watch this space. What was found in the chest is GOLDEN at best. The makings perhaps of a modern family……

                                        Merry Christmas.

I am of the same measure, quantity, amount or number as yourself. My existence, as yours, is equivalently identical in mathematical value or logical denotation. So uniquely beautiful in our facets of similarly differential quality, quantity, nature, or status, an inevitable confusion erupts yearning to be validated; this is the moral compass of balance and equality. We are all born of the same measure, individually each member of a group, class, or society is no more prevalent than another in the constructive inclusivity of evolution. This balance of life is primed to promote, encourage and adapt to equalities grands scale. We are all equal; individually we are the perfect balance to each other, collectively this union is phenomenal. It’s balance, it’s intent, and, it is evolving into the truth that we all are. EQUAL

Taking Five - The Journey So Far

My hope is sustained by the notion that my journey is constructive.

My faith is overwhelmed by that realisation I am.

My love is learning and growing..

I am present.

Balancing The Scales

Wealth isn’t found within the sordid depth of coin; but by the constructive content of an individual living their most sacred authentic truth. My rags are my riches. Understand this; blossoming your tree will become, evermore. This I know for sure.  

[edu-macation]

You Are Never The Same

Innocence cast a sunder by the hands of villainy, powerless youth, confused, incapable of comprehending the life altering significance that befell them. Subjected to years of unconscious neglect, impatience overshadows desires, great expectations alluded. Seduced by beliefs of unworthiness, drowning in excess, punished by the arrow of self-worth’s absence. Poor souls unfortuitous, laid bare for the vultures of society to manifest trifles upon them. Silent stillness rages deafening motion, awake from this tortured slumber. Extricate thine self from self-persecution. See future’s vision. Release, no longer relive. Dis-spell notions of self-deprecation. Though virtue and innocence where stolen, virginity, that, the purest of gifts is something that is offered willingly and can never be stolen away by anyone. To know this is to be found once again.

[edu-macation]

The Liberation of LOVE

To truly love another, Opens the mind to endless possibilities. Love supports and never shadows intent; It shines light on perceived inadequacies, Transforming them into strengths. Love motivates all manner of constructive perspectives. Love will incite deep devotions, Perpetuating and provoking thought. It never says goodbye but good journey; Love is responsive and reasons. If true, love will last.

[edu-macation]

To The Bays...

It hurt to love you.

To continue, live it doubt;

That was your deadly kiss.

The grand reveal.

I tried my best to reflect your best qualities.

Maybe they were just a reflection of mine.

Your lies, my gain.

Thank-you for waking me up into the human I know I am;

That you will you do now?
