Subtle Revolution

To simplify is a thing to which most of us aspire. Anything that will bring some apparent clarity in this increasingly noisy world…we are looking for it. That is always an ideal. However, not all things are simple. When we over-simplify, across the board—even on matters which are quite complex—the simple solutions generated tend to fail. We must know when to go for “cut and dry,” but also when nuance is the right approach.

Yes or no. Save your explanations! It’s my way or the highway. Black/white thinking—hardly an uncommon style, needless to say. It is not stoic thinking, not elegant in its simplicity: is is merely lazy. It is a problem, it certainly creates problems, and though around since time immemorial—should now be condemned as an offense of callous thoughtlessness. It’s not a good way to be.

The unyielding, the proud beings of stone…we know these people. They are not rare. They are in our families; they are at our places of employment. We elect many of them to positions of importance. But should we? Is this a quality we want in our leaders?

Inequality, all of the impositions that render us unequal in this way or that, suspend the world in a perpetual misery. Separateness and tribalism reign paramount, while freedom for all remains at bay. It is up to us whether we will choose to embrace new priorities and attitudes.

There are some ironies when it comes to enemies. They offer us a sense of contrast. They help us know that which we don’t want—and that which we don’t want to be. In this sense, they are of service to our own development.

If we are to end by our own hand, that will be the result of intolerance. If we are to continue onward—tolerance will be needed in ever greater measure. Our future depends on a deepening commitment to the embodiment of this quality.

Authenticity is the domain of an original. They still allow for personal influence, yet a mature inner integration always issues the final verdict. Concern is solely for what is right—not that which is fashionable, or easily accessible.

Ultimately, we must dig ourselves out of the ruts into which we fall—physical, mental, emotional, philosophical. We might fall in of our own accord; we may be enticed in, perhaps even kicked in (metaphorically). Nevertheless, it is up to us to discern clearly now—to see where we are, and to rise from the ashes of our own self-undoing.

Societal cohesion is being torn in two by polarization. Extremism is intensifying. We must remember that our essence, decency and humanity emanate from a common, central core—not the far fringes.

The nonconformist has an important role to play in transcending those stagnant paradigms which no longer serve us. We need these disrupters to show us new ways to solve old and entrenched problems.

Tribalism is the short-sighted, small-minded and altogether too common approach to human relationships we see so many engage in. It is one of our main blockades on the path to greater peace and progress.
