The Common Bowl and Human Nature

 

Humans are inherently social beings and of course social creatures with an increasingly common common bowl from which one must eat wisely, or as much as possible. Namely, individuals who are skilled at, as we call it, scooping from the common bowl with a full spoon and criticizing the spoons of others in the common bowl thrive in society.

How such competition and greed developed in our modern culture is a matter of long debate. Humanity has had its cultural ups and downs throughout human history. The privileges given or acquired and the degradation of humans, up to the dehumanization of slaves and the search for foundations or ideologies for such treatment of fellow humans, are also very well known.

For a long time, some sociologists have also noted that in a particular society, when slavery was abolished, the lowest unpaid or poorly paid jobs or the previous slave jobs of other inferiors were simply transferred to the female part of society. Other principles of domination and privilege are also very well known in the history of mankind.

Sometimes religious divisions into religious privileged and slaves are popular, and sometimes ethnic or ethical ones. Very often, in order to achieve this division into two castes of people, modern weapons of destruction are also needed, which become the best means of achieving domination and enslavement. Thus, people have supplemented the power of the body or fist with brain orientation in inventing weapons of destruction or weapons for killing.

It is easier to steal than to create. It is easier to enslave than to pay for work done. A person must simply show himself to be the most clever in society and eat as much as possible from the common bowl of humanity, even if this makes others hungry or starving according to the actual situation, not only his own perception of the victim.

The victim syndrome has also become, despite all professional judgment, a matter of media image. Who started it, where it started and how, is a too long study, which is subject to the social self-perception of the victim, who has to gain wider support from like-minded people through mobbing and lobbying and a media image, which often neglects the real situation in everyday life and legal instruments for achieving goals and also acquiring property. The imaginary benevolence of forgiving and tolerating others' criminal acts of violence and destruction of people and their property also plays an important role in this.

This means that, historically speaking, man has had problems for a very long time with paying for the work of others that he himself cannot or does not want to do. Likewise with respecting property, both intellectual and property. And of course with defining illegitimate means for achieving our material and intellectual goals. Maybe it is simply the nature or essence of human predatory nature, where the "losers" in life are those people who adhere to the socially prescribed rules of relations to the lives and property of others. Perhaps the most successful in life are those who consider laws as commandments good for breaking and finding loopholes in them.

This is what the common human bowl looks like from which those who create and those who steal and destroy or who draw from it by fraud. It has always been and will be a human game of establishing the illegal and the legal and the benefits that individuals draw from the common bowl.
