Don't be too hasty

There are lots of grey areas in life. Things are not as black and white as they seem. Two important axioms of chaos theory are that all inputs are valid and everything connects to everything else. There is a cliche that the wind from a butterfly's wings in Japan can influence the weather pattern in Kansas. It is impossible to tell where one influence ends and another begins.

This is true in political institutions and organizations as well. In every corner of life we can find men and women doing evil under the guize of right intention. The war in Iraq is but one example. Even more confusing are the honest errors of a voting public led astray by precocieved jealousies and fears.

People actually believe they are voting in good conscience for the right things. We see enlightened people on the wrong sides of issues as well as on the right side. This is the limitation of logic and reason. Each side has a portion of the truth and it is only the resolution of the paradox that is worth pursuing.

For these and other reasons we can suggest moderation and caution in making strong positions for social change. It is too easy to apply force and coercion under the guise of social neccessity when in reality self imposed discipline can work as well or much better.

Anytime we see a person or cause loaded with emotional and provacative slogans we do well to question the underlying nature of such saber rattling. Sadly emotional issues are also battle grounds for personal ambition, avarice and animousity. Some people take advantage of the emotional content and use it for personal gain not caring one particle for the real issue.

An example in point is Anarchist World. I use the term anarchist in a way that is not familiar and it tends to polarize people either for or against the site. For me the term anarchist means to be true to an inner authority and not to an external authority. The casual reader including my own children and my wife misunderstand my own stance on this. To them the trigger word "Anarchist" means something that they do not want to associate with. They are being hasty.

I've mentioned Anarchist World is in reaction to an increased movement toward the one world order and the economic enslavement of the human race. An extreme in one movement can only be met by an extreme in the other direction. People can not be forced into social conformity. They can not be made to change their minds on things they feel strongly about. I've heard it said the opposition never changes its mind. If we are lucky we can outlive them. Old age and death removes the opposition, not dialogue.

We can say with conviction and an understanding of human nature that we will never change the opinions or beliefs of those trying to bring about the new world order. They remain convinced coercive force is needed to bring required social conformity into the world. Laws backed with guns and economic sanctions are thought to be needed to preserve the free world.

This is twisted thinking that does not need to be tolerated. While terror and intimidation are effective the solution is not to be the biggest predator. We do not need to be bullied by the government to protect us from ourselves and our neighbors.

Self-esteem, assertiveness and competency of living by example can change the world. This is the new message to proclaim to everyone that will listen! People do care about family, friends, loved ones and community. They care about these things locally on the grass roots level. By taking care of what is in our own back yard there will be no need for external authority to tell us what we can and can not do.

Anarchist World is doing just that by spreading a message of hope and belief in the human race and in the productive individual. Might does not make right. Competency makes right. The incompetent do not deserve to be in positions of power. The incompetent do not deserve to make our decisions for us. We do not need to bully the bully. We only need to stand our ground and not allow threat, coercive force and intimidation to work against us. We do not need to give our power away!
