wow

Sometimes it seems like necessary to say something, like I don`t know, personal, so that whatever else you say has substance. Well, It might have substance anyhow, however, by nto necessarily giving that personal release, that self-discovery , or self-disclosure.....yet if you do -the audience is somehow more hooked. It is like a gurantee that this will be revealing. I realized that with blogging. It reminded me of speeches one has to give or even just conversation. If one stays too high, it is like ¨come down to earth¨, and of one trails down to low, it is like, ¨ lift up your gaze!¨! You know check out the stars sometime and fly there!

That is just one of my thoughts on the fine line , the membrane type veil between the personal and the public. In philosphy, the issue is often one of discussion. It can apply to everything...like how we interact, how we view public spaces. It can also be what we view as right or wrong. It can vary also, such as manners. One can see manners as part of certain places or carry them with them wherever they go. Manners have a lot to do with the public -private issue. They are, in fact, the essence of what this is. They represent the fact, that humans do separate the town hall from their home, yet they consider it better to give some of that private decency to perfect strangers. It is civil. the fascinating question is ...how do certain societies separate them differently? And how does their belief system affect the playout of this in real life?
Also, does this belief system evolve? or revolutionize? In fact, is that what revolution touches...challenges...? Our preconceived notions of how to treat people in our homes or in our public space? or both....? hmmm, so maybe we don´t need to use the concept of evolution always becasue it might make us skip on very important topics of human development. Especially on topics that have a huge relevance today. In a different blog, I will address the issue of ¨evoltuon¨as a super generic concept that brain washes us from addressing major factors in our development as a humanity. (Did you know sociologist totally dismiss evolution because it helps them in no way whatsoever to analyze human behavior?) at that level? Maybe evolution is only good to talk about us in the cave days, but aren´t we tired of hering about the cave days? I mean wasn´t that like along time ago? Shouldn´t we also have some other reference for who we are? Don´t you feel funny sometimes when in the middle of some intellectual discussion someone says ...¨and then in the cave days we nested¨ or something weird ass like that shit¨? jajajaj
And that brings us to government and to the study of how we have decided to implement certain laws. Also , we will see how we decide to implement a certain form of government. While some cultures have a more advanced overall understanding of the public- private issue, perhaps there are certain loopholes that other societies, such as ours, which developed with a less sophisticated understanding of the private -public issue ....well, we have developed out of Not knowing, and then in some ways we cover other areas not thought of in the other paradigms. This is normal. This is how society works. Some people in their profession learn certain aspects of life, but others in perhaps professions that seem less grandiose, can see othert parts of life. The unity of concepts from different ways of life can often be enlightening and we can live with greater clarity. Like seeing a house on all sides instead of just the front.
