4.1.2. Basic rules
Fair 'traffic rules' Grown out to an intrinsically motivated identity [see 2.3] is a toddler step compared to attuning extrinsically so carefully, that no violence is done to both your own identity as that of others. Both in the short and the long term. That's why at any time, long ago, societal traffic rules came into existance. Just look at our cosmic example, to all movements in our planetary system and all that meteorites that wander in the cosmic space and as a falling star [flash] end up on our and other planets. If everyone wants to be free to go on without damaging others, or to be damaged, traffic rules are necessary and space and self steering possibilities to deviate from your course, if another is heading your way perpendicular, because he or she can or will not direct or correct themselves. Through childish obstinacy, mental and/or physical inability or because he/she intrinsically hasn't [no longer] a self-employed self-steering-program, and like a zombie extrinsically are being driven by egoists and cultures who have designed a living computer-game of it to direct others in the direction they want. To prevent that an identity loses his or her zelf-steering capacity and like an fallen 'star' themselves and others meteoritic let damage, torpede and/or saddling up with an short-tempered [meteorites] power, all regulations have to be based on justice [in Dutch also to translate as the right (law) skills]. And therefore on jointly defined 'traffic rules' which, where needed, jointly can be modified. And therefore on intrinsically driven identities who know how you literally and figuratively can move on without coming in collision with others. Who know how to avoid being a ghost driver. Who know how to deviate save and righteous from your direction, if others provoke an conflict by encountering you like a ghost driver. Without mentally and physically get off your righteous balance, losing sight of your intrinsic goal or to crash with a third one.
Respect for personel boundaries. From diverse scientific investigation has been found that each identity needs a minimal space around them to move and develop freely and savely. In 'The Hidden Dimension' the anthropologist Edward T. Hall makes clear which minimum limits is required for animals and humans:
- a)Intimate space – nearby:touchableb)Intimate space – far away:6 – 18 inch[15,24 – 45,72 cm]c)Personal space – nearbyj:1,5 – 2,5 feet[45,72 – 76,2 cm]d)Personal space – far away:2,5 – 4 feet[76,2 – 121,92 cm]e)Social space – nearby:4 – 7 feet[121,92 – 213, 36 cm]f)Social space – far away:7 – 12 feet[213,36 – 365,76 cm]g)Public space – nearby:12 – 25 feet[365,76 – 762 cm]h)Public space – far away:> 25 feet[> 762 cm ]
Hall decribes what the agressive and destroying consequenses may be if we feel threatened in our intrinsic and incentric identity space and self-government. Either because we as subsystem of a extrinsic operating system have to reorder for the sake of newcomers, either because others literally and/or figuratively are going to stand too close or too far from us, or to all at once. To avoid unnecessary frustrations and clashes and with regard to the interaction between each other, the residential and living environment, the society as a whole, and the arrangement of the earth concerning the devision of the space for people, animals and nature, we keep calculating with our personal limits as formulated in above mentioned investigation of Edward T. Hall.
Giving insight into cause and effect. Righteous regulation is based on intrinsic knowledge of right and wrong. Without intrinsic knowledge of right and wrong no intrinsic justice. Not to mention extrinsically. Only if you intrinsically know what are straight and crooked ways and reasonings, you can think about right and wrong. And only if you have thought about good and evil, if you intrinsically have sorted out good and bad elements, you can make incentric choices. Choices which have consequences both intrinsically to yourself as extrinsically to others. Choices that give you an eccentric face; that's you: your incentric choices, based on your intrinsic considerations of good and evil, of straight and crooked considerations, arguments and choices. For this reason, all regulationshave to be focussedon:
making people aware of the differences between intrinsic motivation without consideration of others, and intrinsic motivation with comprehension for and acknowledgement of the needs and rights of others. And more, of the consequences of both on short and long term.
making people alert to their intrinsic thought process and extrinsic way of acting and co-responsibility as regards the world-society.
in a righteous way setting of assertive limits to selfishness and short term thinking.
giving a clear field to and stimulation of humane insights, developments and information.
Humane perspective for everyone. The way to humane perspective for everyone begins by each person personally. With [learn] to know your boundaries, know where your power is ending and that of another begin and accept that.
If your starting point is not damaging and your self-protection founded on reasonableness you have a good base to develop youself the way you want.
Only if you can distance yourself from unreasonable views you are capable of senso-motoric focusing on all the positive around you.
You are only really liberated from damaging influences from past and present if you see through the historical patterns and these break through humane.
The big challenge for every human being is and remains to keep signaling damagers, and damages and damaging behavior in yourself and others – whether or not in a nice packed facade – and there, as much as possible, not damaging, but assertive self-protectively keep reacting to.
