Moral Clarity?
Where the
hell is the moral clarity, in the communist-left-wing-Biden-government, which brands
anyone, who doesn’t agree with them, as a threat to national security or democracy,
who scream fascism, racism, white privilege, etc., but, who, cowardly, don’t
say anything, to strongly condemn the virulent antisemitic, anti-Israel,
anti-American storm, that is going on at university campuses around the country?
All of this, because Democrats pander to those – in the United States – who are
in favor of Hamas!
Our usual
way of talking, which, unbeknownst to everyone, is Disembodied Language (DL), is
a struggle for attention, in which power, that is, the ends, always, supposedly,
justify the means. No matter what moral high ground we claim to have, our morals,
our ideas about what is right and wrong, are all based on our unconscious participation
in and condonement of DL. Sadly, we don’t know anything about the difference between
our DL and Embodied Language (EL).
If we knew
about the difference between DL and EL, we would realize, once and for all, a meaningful
notion about right and wrong can only emerge from the correct way of using our
language. DL – in which we are not in touch with ourselves and treat our language,
as if it involuntarily happens to us – is, simply
stated, an incorrect way of using our language. Therefore, listening to the
sound of our voice, as we speak and engaging in EL, or not listening to
ourselves, while we speak and engaging, without realizing it, in DL, signifies
the real difference between right and wrong.
Moral
clarity is said to be foremostly about the facts. However, the facts, which we
are capable of considering with our insensitive, automatic, tense and forceful DL
are, of course, completely different from those, we only become aware of in our
intelligent, natural, relaxed, conscious EL. I have tried to address this ever
since I began to study psychology, but nobody in academia has been willing to
explore the DL/LE distinction.
During our EL,
we all go through the same kind of exploration. Not only do we encounter the
same facts, but we also draw the same conclusions. This means, our morality is not
determined by someone else, but by our own experience. In DL morality is
determined for us by others, by the group, society or culture, but in EL, our morality
emerges from our own individuality, from our freedom to be and express who we truly
are.
Since we always,
in DL, give preference to group behavior over individual behavior, we can’t be
moral about what is good for ourselves. Surely, if we can’t even decide what is
right or wrong for ourselves, how can we determine what is right or wrong for
others? The fact is, our DL, inevitably causes endless moral dilemmas,
conflicts between what is expected from us by the group and what we, as individuals,
would like to do. Freud’s reality-and pleasure-principle map onto what is supposedly
moral or immoral.
Someone argued
the presumably meaningful words: but fear cannot be a substitute for moral
clarity. As long as we are, unknowingly, engaged in DL, fear and moral clarity
are the same. Look at what is happening today. If you disagree with the absurd-communist-woke-left-narrative,
you are punished, demonized and cancelled. Surely, moral clarity and fear are as
mutually exclusive, as DL and EL. Left-wing politics is the absence of moral
clarity and the inability for individuals to say to themselves and to hear
themselves what is right and wrong. Right-wing politics, however, still stands
for freedom of speech, in which we are allowed to have opposing opinions, in
which we freely determine what is right for ourselves.
Punitive,
zealous, superstitious people – who are more often found on the right than on
the left – always told those, who don’t believe what they believe, that they
lack the moral clarity to judge, but someone like me, who knows about the enormous
difference between DL and EL, only decides for himself or herself and insists, everyone will have to decide for themselves. I
have lived like this since my early twenties, and I am now sixty-five and I feel very satisfied about that.
