The Single ROOT-CAUSE of
"The Problems of Man"
IS
EGO-CENTRICITY
(how's THAT for an "absolute-absolute" ??? *grin*)
Please note that the word
The, above, was used to
create a fixed point for developing this "rationale".
Rationale
using an excerpt from
Prologue to Survival
by A-David
Ego-centricity
-- in an adult human being -- is a sociologically conditioned state of
psychological immaturity ----- characterized, as in an infant, by the qualities of:
Apathy -- Selfishness -- Dishonesty -- Ignorance -- and Disrespect
Note that the first letter of these words combine nicely into
SAD ID
(interesting ???)
Ego-centricity
is a "state of being" wherein the intellectual concepts of perspective
and objectivity are kept subordinate to the emotional concept of self-gratification.
Further -- within a social system where the accepted norm is for the individual to attach
primary importance to the satiation of personal desires and secondary importance to meeting
the needs of the species -- an ego-centric society exists wherein Nature and Collective Man
are regarded as the expendable servants of the individual ego-centric person (or unit).
Then -- when egocentric individuals (units) group together for a common purpose,
the resulting organized body -- or entity -- automatically becomes an ego-centric unit,
in itself; and, although larger, THIS Unit reflects the same qualities as its component parts.
In practice -- the ego-centric concept works in the following manner..........
(end of excerpt)
SPECIAL NOTE:
The excerpt, above, was taken from a more extensive "rationale" regarding
the "single root-cause of the problems of Man", that appears in a work entitled:
Prologue to Survival
This (unpublished) work was written in 1971 for presentation in conjunction with a proposed
EARTH DAY II celebration which -- in effect -- never occurred in
the manner planned ------
Confirmation of this "oops" -- relative to EARTH DAY II-- was documented by the
television commentator Walter Cronkite in his
"special presentation" --
on April 22, 1971 -- entitled:
Whatever happened to EARTH DAY ?
A HTML version of Prologue to Survival -- (when completed) -- will be archived
by The Emerald Trust as a "special GIFT" for those who like to be "challenged" -- intellectually.
But ----- BE WARNED ----- this "GIFT" is NOT for the "casual web-surfer".
For those who actually are interested -----
Prologue to Survival also contains a "proposed cure" for:
"the single root-cause of the problems of Man".
The following is an "excerpt" from that section of Prologue to Survival:
(begin excerpt)
The ultimate solution to the "environmental crisis" brought about
by EGO-CENTRICITY requires the evolvement of...
ECO-CENTRICITY
Eco-centricity -- in a human being -- is an individually attained
state of psychological maturity
that is characterized by a positive attitude, meaningful self-discipline,
and an ability to intelligently incorporate the qualities of.....
Thoughtfulness -- Sharing -- Truthfulness -- Understanding -- and Respect
( WITHIN an expanding framework of true individuality )
Eco-centricity is a state of being wherein the emotional concept of
self-gratification is
kept subordinate to the intellectual concepts of
perspective and objectivity.
FURTHER -- within a social system where the accepted norm is for the individual to attach
primary importance to the needs of the species and secondary importance to the satiation
of personal desires, an eco-centric society exists wherein the individual (eco-centric unit)
becomes the valued servant of Nature and Collective Man.
Then -- when eco-centric individuals (units) group together for a common purpose, the
resulting organized body, or entity, automatically becomes
an eco-centric unit
in itself -- a
rational "collective social mentality" that reflects the
same qualities as its component parts.
In practice -- the eco-centric concept works in the following manner..........

AS mentioned previously -----
Prologue to Survival is NOT for the (mentally) "faint of heart"
