Short Passage on 'Knowing Oneself'

Knowing who we are within and our inner selves, gives us scope to know eye-to-eye everyone else.

 In doing so, we are given an opportunity to promote self-esteem and self-assurance to those less fortunate and less able than ourselves.

The world is sometimes cast in shadow, destroying Hope, Love, and God.  Yet people rise above the effects of feeling small, and counter-act the turmoil in the world and anguish in their heart.

We can be left with misery due to tragic events or incidents which affect us spiritually. The spirit is weakened by forces out of our control, so it is up to us to regain control of our principles of moral virtue, and overcome pain.

Pain and confusion wreak havoc on the body, mind and soul. It puts us into a spell of wasteful energy and a negative attitude takes over.  Negativity results in cynicism and worry leaves the 'cup of virtue' within us to run dry. Prosperity and happiness, must fill the 'cup of virtue' within us, from which we source our true emotions, and once again we can feel better about who we are as individuals. 

The fragility of the body and mind means we must attempt to diminish the overbearing burden troubling us, or forcing us into a state our inner selves very much choose to repel.  We are living organisms (people) with a biological construct designed to withstand pressure and pain, but we all have a breaking point, which we must identify and stop by understanding and knowing the real reasons. It is this which makes us human, and our ability to overcome what breaks us is even more symbolic of our human selves, it signifies the real human extent of virtue over suffering by knowing oneself. 

Setting aside our differences enables us to view our similarities more easily so we may grow stronger together than grow weaker separate and apart.

Introduction Equality and Diversity and anti-discrimination Law in London, UK, in USA; Europe; Asia; Middle East; Australia; Southeast Asia; and the rest of the world, is hugely important to social progress for the safety of children in the future, and the safety of our modern day thinking.  The understanding of equality and diversity comes 'hand in hand' with knowing what discrimination is, and how we go about creating an equal plateau and platform for people of all different types and backgrounds.  It is  very easy for people to become uneasy  at the sight and thought of different people who are very much unlike them and who live lives very differently to the way they live.  Of course this is very dangerous because it provides people with a self-inner-reason to act out of what it is constituted as normal everyday life behaviour, interacting without a reasonable and justified nature. The reasoning becomes nonsensical and a person is torment...

Theory of non-violence for Equality and Justice July 2016

Non-violence is a theory and practice rooted in religion and civil disobedience.  The theory or practice of non-violence has long been contested as improbable or impossible, in a global society always in conflict.  Non-violent theorists and believers argue when there is already so much death and blood-shed, the oppressed have found far better solutions found with non-violence.  A large part of non-violent theory originates from the religion of Hinduism.  Non-violence is an internal belief built as a lifestyle choice.  It enables people to understand and appreciate the sanctity of all life, especially human life,  ahisma . Truth-force and love-force and moral-force are the components of  satyagraha,  which means “grasping love and truth” in its literal translation. However its meaning transcends further because of the work of Mohandas K Gandhi.  In 1931 he spoke, “I feel in the innermost recesses of my heart …that the world is...
