I almost hate to write a whole lot in this space. The fact is, the more people talk the more they are trying to get something over on someone else. But since so many people depend on running their mouths so much to get their personal convoluted ideas across, I guess I'll have to dance with the devil a little so we all can get back to where we, humankind, belong.
There is only one guiding principle that governs and directs the continuity of mankind. Anything and everything else just clouds the issues and creates selfish hate and dissention. That said, here's what it is all about:
If something doesn't work for everyone, it can't work for anyone.
Oh my God, the howls of dissention and disagreement are deafening. Stop already. Think. Shut your selfish little mouth for a second and use that grey matter between your ears. Turn those totally self centered instinctual feelings off. They will do you no good when it is only the reasoning side of your brain, being or soul that can be used to understand the above overwhelmingly obvious statement. It's not the "feelings" that we have that define us a human beings but the power of reason that separates us from all other living things. So get over your feelings about things and put that super computer housed inside your skull to work, for your well being and that of your neighbor also.
With that out of the way let's get to the meat of the statement "If something doesn't work for everyone, it can't work for anyone." In a word it's "commonsense." I know that word has so many meanings to so many people today that it is almost worthless when people use it. But that's because it gets so wrapped up with what someone feels. Sorry to disappoint you but commonsense is based strictly on facts. No feelings allowed! Feelings are no more than opinions and we know the old saying about opinions. :-) The garbage about everyone having their own truths makes about as much sense as saying water isn't wet. [Side arguement: Well what about ice and steam - they're water aren't they? Answer: They are "states" of water at certain temperatures and pressures. That's why intelligent man assigned them different names other than "water".] The only excuse for different truths, and hence a lack of commonsense, is to escape the bounds of fact so that the results suit what you want to feel under the limited set of criteria you choose to use at the moment.
Commonsense dictates that you take all the available facts and use them to come up with a solution that best suits the situation. Because we are human, and are actually severely limited in our ability to gather all possible information on a given subject, we can only make a best case guess as to what the answer will be. Sometimes the best case solution is saying "I don't know" and let it go at that. But because we "feel" we have to come up with an answer (e.g. politics), rash decisions are made about things that have negative rippling effects throughout society. If we just followed "If something doesn't work for everyone, it can't work for anyone", and everyone actually believed that to be true, we wouldn't really need to gather all the facts. Our answer would be self evident and a solution would be had. Unfortunately, selfish little minds are constantly trying to find ways of getting what they want for their own selfish reasons instead of looking at the big picture of society and humankind as a whole. They want what they want and damn anyone that gets in the path of them acquiring it. Egotistical and narcissistic♦ behavior has become the rule instead of the exception.
This should be enough to get people cranked up for now. We'll continue this soon. Remember though:
If something doesn't work for everyone, it can't work for anyone.
