State of the Union

Bonds and Unions:

There are about, three ways, of relating, with others, out there. You have, formal, informal, and non-formal, modes, of relating. And in general, formal ways, of relating, lead, to what, they call, bonds. Informal, ways of relating, lead, to what, they call, connections. On the otherhand, non-formal, ways of relatings, lead to, what they call, unions. What separates, unions, from bonds though, is that, unions, are not, institutionalized, while bonds, are. All this, is mentioned, because, unknown to many, civilization, in some parts, of the world, has been decaying, due to the kind, of relating, being carried out, out there. To fully understand this, one must realize, that, historically speaking, most ways, of relating, were, in the form, of bonds. Still true, for some parts, of the world [Middle East & Asia]. In Europe, one sees, the rise, of, informal relations, as kind of, serious relations. For instance, one could choose, ones friends, over, ones family. America though, greatly differed, from the rest, of the world, due to the significant, presence, of the union. In America, for instance, marriage, is a union, while in most, of the rest, of the world, its a bond. In Europe, its kind of, an informal, relationship.

A union, is kind of, not too complicated, to describe. Its a way, of relating, whereby, two parties, to the union, kind of, engage, with each other. Its a kind, of relationship, where both parties, agree, that respect, is of, the utmost, importance. In a bond, self-respect, is of, utmost importance. WIth informal relatings, you have, the concept, of, mutual respect. You kinda learn, how to, respect, each other, slowly. With unions, respect, is kind of, business wise.

The problem, with the world today, leading, to decay, is that, in alot, of the parts, of the world, where bonds, and informal relatings, once existed [Africa, South America & Europe], they have been, replaced, by the union. The problem though, is that, these groups, have no idea, how to carry out, unions. The end result, has been, the decay, in civilized behavior, in these parts, of the world. What is been said, is that, these people, engage, in unions, with the goal, of screwing up, each other. Thats kinda what, is going on, around the world, relatings wise.

In Africa, the rise, of unions, as the main way, of relating, has resulted, in civilized society, similar, to what you see, in slums. Most Africans, out there, are really, like, slum dwellers [personality wise]. This becomes, even true, when one, realizes, that in Africa, conventional society, meshes well, with the slums. What this means, that many, of the people, who make up, conventional African society, often, interact, with people, in the slums, in a business like, format. Many of these, people, are for example, cooks, drivers, school teachers, watchmen, maids, and even, public servants. The reason, why they live, in slums, is because, of being screwed up, by those, in power [conventional society]. In Africa, one can do, work, asked for, and not, get paid; people, simply, screw each other, up. And, as one can see, when you have maids [raising ones children], and cooks, from the slums, you are kind of, living, in the slums too. With time, one becomes, more, like a slum dweller, though, living, fine. This is a big problem, for even, some of the people, who work, in hotels, or restaurants, like cooks, come, from the slums.

Slum like, relatings, are not, only seen, in Africa only, as many, might believe; they are seen, in other places, but are worst, in Africa. In Africa, the relatings, are kind of, similar, to what you see, in Kenyas, Mathare slum. Really poor, relatings; your average African, is always trying, to scam, any person, out there. In Europe, you too find, union style, relatings, amongst people, leading, to a serious, downfall, in culture. In Europe, relatings, are very similar, to what you see, in South Africas, Soweto slum. Its kinda why, Europeans, love, South Africa. In South America, relatings too, have fallen, but differ, with regards, to location. In Brazil, relatings, are similar, to what you see, in American, ghettos [including gun based crime]. One can get, shot, more easily, in Brazil, than one, imagines; by both, civilian, and cops. In the rest, of South America, relatings, have really fallen, to a village like, level. By village, we don't mean, Asterix style, but what, many, envision, an African village, to be like. Canada too, has seen, its modes of relating, fall, due, to their using, the union, as a basis, of relating. They previously used, informal relatings, before. As a result, Canada, today, is very much, like, the London, you see, in Charles Dickens, 'Bleak House' [good read, great introduction too]. Its a kind, of a slum. In America too, not all, is perfect, as Union style, relatings, have somewhat, fallen, to a lower level. The respect seen, is no longer, business like, but more, similar, to that, seen, in Hinduism. This is what, kinda makes, America, today, feel, like India.

Historically though, different regions, related, in different ways, giving rise, to interesting, personalities.

America and Quebec:

America, traditionally, in totality, has been, a Constitution. A constitution, is really, a mode, of relating, that is very, business like. Federal, means constitution, and it also, refers, to the general, way, all Americans, relate, to each other. And, at the heart, of this kind, of relating, was, a psychological profile, that, could best, be described as, the 'fightingman'. What this means, is that, all Americans, at their heart, are really, fightingmen [prize fighter style]. Thats whom, they really are, at their heart. The fightingman, is best exemplified, in America society, by the boxer. All Americans, at their heart, are boxers, and thats how, they really, relate, with each other [they spar]. In Quebec, things are different, as, at their heart, all Quebecois, are really, 'fencers' [fencing]. Fencing, is a kind, of boxing. What is been said here, is that, all, other, American, and Quebecois, psychological profiles, emanate, from the boxer, and fencer, respectively. Thats whom, they really are, at their heart. In America, for instance, you don't, really have, writers; you have, screenwriters. Stephen King, for instance, is not, a writer, but a, screenwriter [this means, that his novels, are like movies]. Its Europe, that has writers. Authors too, don't exist, in America. They have, playwrights really. Boxers, at their heart, similar too, to Fencers, are all about, spiritual insights. Boxers, are not, psychological, in their ways, as many believe; they are spiritually inclined, meaning, they look, at their opponent, as being, intelligent, or not intelligent, other than, being crazy, or not crazy. What this means, is that, all, psychological profiles, in America, are really, spiritually inclined, rather than, psychological/religious. In America, you don't, really have doctors; you have, General Practitioners. And the difference, between, a doctor, and a general practitioner, is that, doctors, are all about, analyzing one [psychological insights (whats going on, at the moment)], while General Practitioners, diagnose others [spiritual insights (how did this come about)]. Doctors, kind of, treat people [prescribe solutions], while general practitoners, kind of, repair people. The comedian, is an, American phenomenon, having, at their heart, a boxer personality. In Quebec, they have, the comic [Joey (Matt LeBlanc)], and the comic, has a personality, based, on the fencer. You only find, comics, in Quebec.

Brazil:

Brazilians, traditionally, have been, a People. Their relations, all of them, took the form, of bonds, and were, work based. People, simply, interacted, only, with other people, who were related, to their work. This also, means, indirectly. For instance, merchants, knew, restaurant owners, kind of, personally. They knew, shoeshine boys, kind of, personally too. Thats kinda how, all the people, were connected; kind of, in a network [internet], manner. At the heart, of it all, all Brazilians, were united, as one, by the very fact, that, at the heart, of whom, they really are, is, the Worker. The worker, at its basis, means, a person, who aids, others. Generally, a person, who bears, instructions. Bearing, means, not specific; one can, go about, doing what, asked for, in the manner, they see right. A merchant, tells a shipdocker, "store all this, in a warehouse", and the shipdocker, probably, chooses out, the warehouse, and how to, get things, there. Thats whom, Brazilians, are at their heart. The talk show host, is really, a Brazilian phenomenon, and is based, on the Worker, psychological profile. In Brazil, you too find, what they call, the wordsmith [a person, who pens stuff (short stories)].

South America:

Traditionally, South America, has been, a Land. And by land, we mean, people, disconnected, from each other, in one way, or another. In general though, people, kind of, attempted, to connect, each other, all the time, inorder, to get, something done. And at, the heart, of the South American, personality, is the Leader, as a, psychological profile [whom they really are]. Leaders, are by nature, expressive, and know how, to lead people, to get things, done. All their work, is very, expressive, by nature. The newspaper boy, is a South American, phenomenon, and not, New Yorker, as many believe. So is the cosmetician. They are both, Leaders, at heart. An Earl [ruling title], is really, and strictly too, a South American, phenomenon. Earls, are people, who are very much, like waiters [ another South American phenomenon], and they take, the 'orders', of the people, and find a way, to fulfill them. Argentine leaders, such as, Juan Peron, have been, Earls.

Europe:

Traditionally, Europe, has been, very much, a country. What this means, is that, people, sought out, other people, in an attempt, to know, what was going on, around them. And, at the heart, of the European, personality, was the Monk. All Europeans, are Monks, as whom, they really are. The Musketeer, was not, really, a fencer, but a monk. Monks, are psychological, experts. They know, others, from a psychological, point of view. The Writer, and the Author, are European, phenomenons. Stieg Larsson, and Agatha Christie, were Writers, and Authors, respectively. The Spy, is also, very much, a European, phenomenon. The Chef too, is a European phenomenon. Chefs, really cook, according, to moods and seasons.

Africa:

Africa traditionally, has been, kind of, a complicated, place. Traditionally really, it was simply, a place, where different people, ran, into each other. In general though, you find, three main, psychological profiles, in traditional Africa: the combatant, the saintly person, and the, spearman. These three, psychological profiles, were very much seen, too, in Ancient Greece. The combatant, is simply, a person, who at their heart, is argumentative, in seeking out, the truth. Combatants, were very common, amongst, ancient Greek heroes. In Africa, two peoples, the Zulus, of South Africa, and the Kikuyu, of Kenya, had this profile, at their heart. It is also, very much, a way, of knowing, who is, a true, Kikuyu, or Zulu, while in Africa. Many, out there, who know something, about Africans, believe, these two groups, to have been, kind of, really civilized, not knowing much, about them. They kind of, lived, crazy lives. Two people, who got, into an argument, would sort it out, by combat. In South Africa, this involved, a shield, and the assegai [short spear], or the Issiquili [fighting stick]. Amongst, the Kikuyu, you had, the shield, and the, simi [a knife-sword]. What made, these two cultures, kind of crazy, is that, one, could never, really know, how they could, offend, another. People, had short tempers, and one, could be called, to combat, at any moment. Kikuyus, and Zulus, traditionally, carried weapons, wherever, they went. Kind of like, Trojan soldiers. And its amongst, these two groups, in Africa, you find, profiles, like the Dealer. The dealer, while seen, in America, and a person, who markets things, is strongly seen, in Kenya, and South Africa. The saintly person, was another, profile, seen, in Africa, and especially, in the Congo region. The saintly person, is a religious person, by nature, who attempts, not to break, any laws. They however, differ, from other, religious people, in that, with other, religious folk, breaking, religious law [like the commandments], results, in punishment. In Africa, breaking, the law, resulted, in mockery, and ridicule, with the goal, an attempt, to make, the person, break, even more laws, so as to be ostracized [totally isolated]. The goal, in African religions, was to live, without, having broken, any laws, and therefore, highly respected. Temptation, in Africa, was always, around the corner. Farming, in Africa, was not, about, quantity, like in other places, but mostly, about, quality. Saintly people, were farmers. You too, have, the Spearman, very common, for instance, in Yoruba culture, and the spearman, is by nature, a person, who corrects, others. They point out, mistakes, to other people. Yoruba Kings, were spearmen, unlike Congo kings, who were, saintly people. African Religious Gods [not Spiritual/Trickster], were similar, to Greek Gods, and were accessed, via oracles.

Middle East:

In the Middle East, where bonds, were dominant, you find, that all relations, were based, on religion. In general, the relatings, were strictly, religious, as they are, today. One, can get, whipped, for saying, or doing, something dumb, in the Middle East. And traditionally, at their heart, all Middle Easterners, were philosophers, of a kind. Philosophers, basically think, things out. They are about, seeing things, for what, they really are. Mohammed, the Prophet, was really, a philosopher. Philosophers, are kind of, serious, by nature, giving rise, to strict, religious, pairings. And while, this psychological profile, was ideal, during the formation, of Islam, and the Middle East, as it is, today, it is not, truly, the best, for the region, today. Most people, in the Middle Eastern world, today, are really, investigators, by heart. They don't, philosophize, as much, as they did, although, being an investigator, is partly, about, being, a philosopher. As an opinion, one serious though, I kinda believe, that, the psychological profile, of, Amir Hamza, truly fits, the Middle East region, today. All Middle Easterners, are really, Amir Hamza [an investigator], at their heart. The tale, of Amir Hamza, has its origin, in Pakistani, folklore, though, very much, Middle Eastern, in nature.

Asia:

In Asia, traditionally, where, all relatings, have been, in the form of bonds, and very, religious, in nature, you see, the rise, of the, Indian Swami, as the main, psychological profile. All Asians, at their heart, whom they really are, are Swamis. Gautama Buddha [not the Buddha], was an, Indian Swami. The Indian Swami, differs, from the Buddha, in that, he is a person, acquainted, with whats, going on, with people, from a religious, point of view. If crime, goes up, in India, the Swami, knows why, from a religious, perspective. And this profile, is needed, by Asians, from the viewpoint, of seeking, aspirations. You kinda, have to know, people, as you, seek out, aspirations. The kind of Buddhism, espoused, by Lama Yeshe, is the kind, that leads, to one, becoming, a Swami. From the Swami, you had, other, psychological profiles, such as, the businessman, who is really, an Asian, phenomenon. Businessmen, solve, people created, problems [e.g crime]. Scribes too, are really, an Asian, phenomenon, and based, on the Swami. Scribes, are really, writers, of religious, prose.
