READING, WRITING

RUMI

 

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that when communities/families were the basic unit of human society, and they were within a kingtom, the king didn't get too finvolved in the day to day lives of the people; they levied taxes as needed, but allowed the heads of families and/or communities to do assessments & collections.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls processing the "social compact" that is generally progressing in the USA - in spite of the pushback from conservatives, who want rich white people to maintain control over the finances, education, and the "minimal" government.

NOTE:  what BO wrote on this page is soooooo very important!  He describes the rise of our social democracy post-WWII, when the government enacted programs that would lift the most poverty stricken people out of poverty, and establish a safety net to minimize the penury and shame in many cities.

"....which is how the United States and other advanced democracies came to create the modern social contract.  As our society grew more complex, more and more of the government's function took the form of social insurance, with each of us chipping in through our tax dollars to protect ourselves collectively -- for disaster relief to protect ourselves if our house was destroyed in a hurricane, unemployment insurance if we lost a job, Social Security and Medicare to lessen the indignities of old age, reliable electricity and phone service for those who lived in rural areas where utility companies wouldn't otherwise make a profit, public schools and universities to make education more egalitarian."

NOTE:  I really like reading BO!!

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He further addresses the "ethnic divinity" he knew about, but actually felt in India.  He asks questions such as "what is the ultimate effect of sacrilige on our society?  For example, if an artist photographs a cross in his own urine, is that somehow making our society "dirtier?  Even if no one sees it?

NOTE:  I've addressed this issue throughout my own life..... I imagine what the effect might be on a)  my life, and b) on society in general, if I do something "wrong" - like if I were to silently curse at an acquaintance, or at a motorist who drove in what I consider to be a discourteous way.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says, when asked what "LOGOTHERAPY" means, he answers that it is centered on man's SEARCH for MEANING, compared to Freud's "search for pleasure" and Adler's "search for superiority."  He's sometimes listed as the "3rd Viennese School of Psychotherapy" (or some such).  "logo" (Greek) signifies "meaning."
