If every man, no matter what ethnicity he belongs to, is able to do right or wrong towards himself, his family, his brothers, and his kin within the capabilities of his own right. Then there is no such thing as race, ethnicity, or tribes.
Although we have customs and traditions that supposedly make us different. Every virtue all over the world is the same in that regard. For every man, all over the world, knows what is right and what is wrong, and sadness is found all over the world. Pride is found in every matter pertaining to every city, every culture, every tribe, and every ethnicity.
If the virtues remain the same in every culture. Then there is no such thing as race per category. For every man all over the world is capable of evil and good, or behaving in a way that aligns with virtue.
In other words, race is a social construct, obviously made to divide or segregate the human race from itself. For if the human race were unified as a species, it would cease fighting each other. When do you see the same species in the animal kingdom trying to dominate themselves? From a biological perspective, how can a species survive if it were at war with itself? If a species were at war with itself, that particular species would not be able to survive. If virtue is found all over the world, and if virtue in itself has similar characteristics all over the world, then how can there be a separation of the tribes, religions, or ethnicities?
For a man knows what is good. A man knows himself, and a man knows what is wrong. Jealousy is found everywhere. If anger is the same in every religion. Then how can we truly be different or separated from each other based on being white, black, red, or blue? Anger, lust, pride, and ego are found worldwide. Pride, ego, and conceit look the same in every religion and in every ethnicity.
The love of money, fame, and power is found in every culture around the world. So then how can we truly be separated by race, ethnicity, or by external factors such as skin tone or melanin? For love is found in every part of the world.
If a man is jealous or envious of his brother, does the jealousy or envy look different amongst white or blacks? How can jealousy, envy, pride, or ego look different in one continent over another? If a mother abandons her children in every ethnicity and tribe, are all mothers capable of either being good or bad? Or do we really think that perhaps all mothers in one part of the world differ from mothers in another part of the world? If mothers all over the world differ in terms of external factors like money or prestige. Yet mothers all over the world are still capable of abandoning their children. How can mothers from one tribe, whether that be white or black, differ from each other?
We often hear that white mothers may be different than black mothers. But if all mothers in every tribe or supposed race or ethnicity are capable of abandoning their children. How can mothers be different in terms of race or ethnicity? In other words, there is no favoritism with God. There is no such thing as race or ethnicity, as they are social constructs.
For the moment, many think they are different because of a supposed hierarchy of white, black, red, or blue. This is only so because we have not fully understood the meaning of human similarities across all cultures and tribes. For even examining the likes of drugs or alcohol. All cultures and all tribes are victims of developing addiction to either one.
A man or a woman is capable of being either virtuous or selfish. Do we perhaps think to ourselves that a white selfish person is different from a black selfish person? For we must examine selfishness as a supposed virtue instead of looking at the external forces of skin tone or melanin. Even a tiger, compared to a dog, each has a heart, kidneys, a skeletal structure, and requires breath and oxygen.
But is a black person more dangerous than a white person? In the ways some of us think, we do believe that white is not dangerous and black is. But instead, what I am proposing is that evil is found in either of the or and the opposite is found in either of the or.
Yet in our thinking or how we were raised, racism will have us believe that white or black is dangerous, depending on the location in which we live. Does a tiger think a dog is dangerous? No. Does a cat think a butterfly is dangerous? No. For even the animals know their alignments.
But in all the rationality humans have been gifted with. We have yet to love each other fully; instead, we hate each other willfully. But does a cat hate a dog? Does a crow hate an eagle? Yet white may hate black and black may hate white. So, in this sense, rationality has served no purpose for thousands upon thousands of years. Perhaps virtue in itself is its own reward, and if a person has virtue, they themselves may come to believe that they need nothing else once virtue is obtained through the senses of understanding the Oneness of God.
In other words, even a tiger and a dog share connections, even though both live, operate, and exist in different habitats. So we as humans are not that different from one another, although we are raised to believe we are.
For when we are raised to believe we are, many things will become, such as racism, sexism, ageism, or phobias like fear of superiority by means of money, supposed power, or supposed political recognition.
But in the end, we all must take account of our moral inventory and how this aligns with our place in nature. For we are all part of nature. We rely on the sun to produce light so plants can produce food for our crops. We rely on the order of the Planets in our galaxy in order for our tides, currents, winds, and rain to come in their season.
For if there were no rain, our crops would be nonexistent. For if we were to say that we are different from one another, we would create unnecessary chaos among ourselves, even though we are all human beings. Yet the stars and planets are perfectly aligned with each other and do not dare to overpower each other. Is Jupiter at war with Saturn? Is the moon of Earth trying to take over the moons of Venus? Most certainly not. Even the planets understand their proper alignment.
But humans have yet to understand their nature, place, and alignment within nature. For if they understood such things, wars would cease, and famines would become nonexistent. Is the moon of Earth in need of anything like gold or silver? Are the rings of Saturn in need of anything like diamonds or name-brand clothing?
We, as humans, desire such things, but never what is needed most: each other. For Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and all the other planets, knowing themselves and depending on each other are essential to survival. But humans have yet to depend on each other for fear of each other. Is Jupiter trying to play chess with Venus? Is the moon of Earth in a match with the moon of Saturn? Most certainly not.
In our quest for riches, fame, glory, and honor. We have neglected the innermost parts of our existence in search of external material. Instead, what we are chasing is a version of the truth that will never satisfy us when the innermost parts of us have yet to overcome the internal chaos of the virtues. Look at how we treated those with virtue from Jesus to Muhammad to Malcom X or Martin Luther King. Look at how we have treated those who posses tremendous virtue.
We as humans fear virtue, and have not taken into consideration that virtue in itself is the greatest reward there is in human existence because of our rational being. Yet our rationality tells us to hate virtue because it has yet to recognize how to deal with being told no, or how to be happy when someone is told yes and given what they desire in life, even if that may mean something we desire.
For if in our rationality, we understood virtue, we would be in joy and rejoice with our brothers and sisters when they succeed. Yet who practices such things? Surely not many. Yet we would rather respect a man with money than one who knows how to treat a woman accordingly.
For if we had virtue and understood virtue, we would not care for what our country has over another, for how does Jupiter sustain Saturn? How does the Earth sustain the moon of Uranus? If not knowing the alignment that is needed to sustain the Milky Way. What would human existence look like if we knew just how important we all are, and we let go of our envy and jealousy and stopped trying to interfere in the lives of others because our brother or our sister has something that we desire?
For what does Saturn have that Jupiter needs? Perhaps Saturn and Jupiter need nothing from each other. For if Saturn desired something of Jupiter, how would the Milky Way Galaxy exist if it were at war or divided against itself? If Saturn desired something of Jupiter, would Saturn and Jupiter be at war with each other? Yet humans fight each other and wage war because, if they knew they needed each other, in the same way a tiger and a dog each rely on the sun to provide food for themselves, why would a tiger or a dog wage war with the sun?
Yet we, as humans, wage war against the sun and abandon our sons figuratively and literally. We as humans abandon our desire for virtue in exchange for material that can’t sustain life. For how many of us gain material but still have anxiety or fear of someone robbing us? For if we had virtue, we would be content with whatever we have, nor fear what we lose. For virtue would protect our inner anxieties. For we may save and pass down riches to our families. But our families, if not taught through discipline, can easily squander an inheritance through improper means.
When we understand that virtue is needed to sustain life. We seek the kingdom and build the kingdom in virtue, and what is the greatest virtue of them all if not love? But since we confuse love with sex, how can we possibly know virtue? For if we understood virtue, we would not be upset when we are told no by someone who we perhaps thought or desired to be our romantic partners?
For love can easily turn to hatred when we are denied. So how can we establish virtue based on sexual encounters or interactions? What is virtue if not an unquestionable understanding that even when we are told no, we still love that person anyway.
Perhaps when we are told no, and we respect that person’s no, perhaps that alone is the greatest virtue of them all. For when we are told no, and we don’t try to sabotage that person’s life when they desire to be with someone other than ourselves, we have let go of our need to control and love that person anyway.
Instead of purposely going out of our way to sabotage another person’s life because they rejected us romantically or loved someone than ourselves. Perhaps a virtue is accepting a no and loving that person anyway. Humans are more alike than they would like to admit. Evil looks the same everywhere. Virtue looks the same everywhere. But we still seem divided even over the notion of simplicities of white, black, red, or blue.
Yet we also seem to fear those who desire to live with virtue.
