Existentialism & Sacrifice



Existentialism, is a, rather, reknowed, Philosophical Thought System (of European origins), and, mainly espoused with, the Artist [as Imagination], but in all too exemplifying, bad Art (in all).

In many ways really, Existentialism, arises, in a Europe, devoid now, of, Culture really, and with most forms, of, Achievement, wiped out [as with the creation, of, oppressive Socialist like States], and in all too really, resulting, in the wiping out, of, all forms, of, Social Hierarchies [that in the past, made, Society, worth living in (as with, a sense of achievement in all)].

In all though, Existentialism, does have, a proper place perhaps, in, helping, define (describe perhaps really), Social Hierarchies, in Society [and in all too, improving them even].

Different Societies, around the World, have, different notions, of achievement, that in all, makes, the attempt, in measuring, Standards of Living [as a measure, to compare, all Countries, in the World] rather, moot in all [what is been said here is that, different Regions, of the World, actually, seek out, different notions of (social) achievement, which are, accompanied (in all), by, different notions, of, Standards of Living].

Traditionally, notions of (social) achievement, have been, based on, the following:

North America: Materiality

- those possessing, more or even, materiality, in unique forms, were seen (as with, Social Hierarchies really), as embodying in all, North American, notions of (social) achievement [and, Standards of Living too].

South America: Behaviour

- in South America, developing, unique behavioural patterns [and in all too, making one, rather, different from the rest], is in many ways, at the core, of, developing, notions of (social) achievement, and also in line too, appropriate, Standards of Living.

Europe: Popularity

- in Europe, Popularity amongst Womenfolk, was in most ways, a measure, of success really [as associated manly, with, Social Hierarchies] [Knowing, the most beautiful woman in town for instance (as with notions of 'social' achievement), or even, simply, being favoured, by, Womenfolk (as with, 'Ease of Living', as a measure really, of, Standards of Living)].

Africa: Family history

- in Africa, the more prestigious, ones, Family history/lineage is, the higher, one is (as with, Social Hierarchies really) [ and in all too, helping, develop, notions of *social* achievement (and accompanying, Standards of Living), in Society] [The whole culture, of exclusivity (as with, treatment really), is of, African origins really].

South East Asia: Ones Occupation

- in South East Asia, ones Occupation (as with, Work mainly), has always, strongly, helped, define, notions of (social) achievement, and in many ways too, defining, Standards of Living (in South East Asia). In all, the rather popularly known world today, of, what job one has, how much they get paid, or even, job benefits too [is of, South East Asian origins] [In many ways really, ones Occupation (as with, notions of *social* achievement really), define for example, what kind, of, materiality, one is, associated with; with Sunglasses for example, associated with (in South East Asia), the Successful really].

East Asia: Living Spaces

- in East Asia, the very area, that, one lives in [as perhaps best, with, Neighbourhoods for instance], was not only, a measure, of, Standards of Living [as popularly envisioned too, by, the UN], but also, a measure, of ones, notions of (social) achievement (as with, School attended perhaps) [or what, the UN, refers to, as, the Quality of Life index].

The Middle East & Afrique: Ones Associates

- in the Middle East & Afrique, notions of (social ) achievement [and accompanying, Standards of Living measures], have been, heavily, based on, whom, one is, acquainted with [or in general, associates with]. In many ways really, the world, envisioned, by, the movies, as with, a person, having, the best, and coolest (of friends) [as a notion really, of (social) achievement], and in all too, these groups (of friends perhaps), banding together, to raise, their, Standards of Living (highly).


In all really, it is perceived [and seen even too], that, Existentialism [as an Art based Philosophy], can be used, in improving, the above, as, with regards to really, notions of (social) achievement, and even, Standards of Living too [In all really, the above, speaks, of, how, one should in general, see, others (out there)].


Sacrifice:

In all really, the above, has to do, indirectly with, something in our lives, that most, attempt, to avoid in all really: Sacrifice. That in all really, for us, to feel, that we have attained/achieved, something, in our daily lives, we must, perform, some form, of, Sacrifice really. Now, Sacrifice, does often come, in very, many forms (out there); the most famous, are perhaps, those, having to do, with, thankfulness perhaps, towards, a, higher Living being (Existence) [as with, when, the followers of Islam, perform, dhikr].

However, there is, another form, of Sacrifice, that is, everyday in nature, and has to do, with, our defining, what, life really, is, all about [as with, trials, tribulations, and, tests even]. That in all, in, our everyday lives, we must, go through, certain (spiritually based), trials, tribulations, and, tests even, in order, to feel good, about, oneself [at the end, of each day] [as with, notions of (social) achievement too, and generally, feeling 'superior', to others, and also, Standards of Living (as with, being, hopeful, about life, in general)].

Sacrifice [as embodied, by, everyday trials, tribulations, and tests even], is in all, about, defining ourselves [as, Spiritual beings really], as with, looking, at everything we do, in our lives really, as a form, of, Sacrifice [and not, a Goal (to be attained), or even, an, Accomplishment (as with seeking, acceptance, by ALL really)] [Most today, tend to view, anything, done, as a Goal/Pleasure, or, an Accomplishment/Grandiosity] [Achievement, in many ways, has been, wiped out, from, Society today (as with, taking, anything done, to, the next/better, level really)].

Doing things, from, the concept, of, Sacrifice, does help us too, in looking, at ourselves [from an everyday, every moment perspective], as with, regards really, to Succeeding [notions of (social) achievement], and even, Failing [Standards of Living really] [That in all, there exists, a Fear of Succeeding (rather different, from, the Fear of Success in all), and, a subsequent, Fear of Failing (different too, from, the Fear of Failure), with both, having to do, with, the Now, and dealing too, with issues really, of, Growth (as with, whom are we, when, we succeed, or fail really, and how, do we, adapt, to, our new, circumstances in all) (all really too, from, a Spiritual based perspective)] [In all really, those, who look, at, life erroneously (from, improperly defining, Goal, and Accomplishment too) (as shown above perhaps), tend to, develop, eventually, strong, Fears of Succeeding, and even, Fears of Failing too (in all)] [Fear of Succeeding (as with, Goals/Pleasure), has to do, with, being, self-punishing really (and, the forbidden fruit syndrome too)].

In all, Sacrifice, helps us really, deal, with, the Fears of Succeeding, and Failing respectively [that impede us, on an everyday basis really], by having us, turn, to 'God', in two main ways: Meditation, and, the Sacrificial too. In all, those dealing, with, the issue, of, the Fear of Failing, can in all, turn, to the Sacrificial life, as with doing, Penance, or even, Atonement, so as, to get, back, to where, they were, before (Failing that is). Those, with a Fear of Succeeding, can turn, to, Meditation in general [as with, Daily Prayer to 'God', and, the Search, for Transparency, Knowledge, Insight etc.] [Most today, tend to have, all this, rather backwards, as with even, being, 'self-punishing' (penance, atoning etc.), on, Succeeding, as in, believing really, they, don't, deserve it (in all really)].

Below, will be the attempt really, to show, different peoples, of, the different Regions (in the World that is), what, daily life, based on, Sacrifice (as with, everything done, and, at every moment too), is all about [that in all, Humans today, are, strongly shaped, by, Pride (and the desperate seeking, of, sex/pleasure, love/indulgence, and, intimacy/secrets), so as to feel, good, about themselves, rather than, attempting in all, to understand, what, everyday Sacrifice (as with, tests, tribulations, and trials faced), is all, about really, and also too, that living, a life, based on, Sacrifice, is the true key, to, feeling good, about, oneself (on an, everyday basis really)]

[Sacrifice in all, is about really, how, we should choose, to see, ourselves, on an, average daily basis, as with whom, we really are like (at the moment)].

North America: Wisdom

Sacrifice, as Wisdom, speaks of in general really, seeing ourselves, as with, regards really to, three things: self-care, self-control, and, self-trust (in general). That in all, in North America, everyday living [as with, trials, tribulations, and, tests even], leads to, issues (of developing), self-care, self-control, and, self-trust even [as with, in just about, everything done (out there)]. For the average North American out there, feeling good, about, oneself (at this very moment), has to do, with, developing, self-care, self-control, and, self-trust even [with regards, to, just about, everything, done, with everything done, perceived, as a form, of Sacrifice (embodied in all too, as, a trial, tribulation, or, test even)].

South America: Admiration

In South America, Sacrifice (as embodied, by, trial, tribulation, or, test even), is often dealt with really, by, the seeking out, of, Admiration [as really with, group acceptance, group attention, and, group respect even], in, just about, anything, done (out there). In every moment really, the average, South American, should be, seeking out, Admiration [in the form really, of, group acceptance, group attention, or even, group respect], and all really too, based on, Sacrifice (as with, everyday, trials, tribulations, and, tests even).

Europe: Love

In Europe, Sacrifice, has always, been dealt by, seeking out, Love [in the form really, of, intimacy, efficacy, and, esteem too]. Creating Intimacy, with another [or even, with, an object (or problem too)], has, in many ways, often, been seen, as, a highpoint, of, living, in Europe really [and often, in recent times, taking, the form, of, the surprise (as with, the 'Swedish Surprise' for example)]. Efficacy, was most, often seen, in Italy, as with, holding, a surprise birthday party, for, someone (out there). Esteem, was highly, German in nature, as with, doing, something, to make others in general, notice one [and acting too, as though, it, was nothing really].

Africa: Godliness

In Africa, Sacrifice, has always been, dealt with, by, seeking out, Godliness, in ones life [with, Godliness, defined here as being, Cleanliness, Tidiness, and, Neatness too]. In all, in Africa, every problem faced (or tackled) [as with, test, trial, or, tribulation even], was dealt with, via, Godliness [as with, Cleanliness (having a clean soul, perhaps), Tidiness, and, Neatness too even] [Africa, faces collapse, with, Sacrifice in all, being dealt with, in, a South American manner (with, this behaviour, erupting, in, Kanem-Bornu really)] [This eruption too, is due, to the expulsion, of, South American Negroes (during, the Male Revolt for instance), into, West Africa (in itself)].

South East Asia: Trust

In South East Asia, every faced moment, of living, has to do, with, Trust issues [with Trust here, defined in all really, as, decorum, integrity, and, discipline too]. Decorum, in dealing, with, Sacrifice issues (trials, tests, tribulations), has to do really, with, seeking out, orderliness [in, just about, every, moment, of, ones life really]. Integrity here, refers really, to, trusting in all, ones, environments [as with, safety perhaps]. Discipline here, refers, to the major belief really, that, Society in all, does work, and, any effort applied, will be, rewarded, in, an appropriate manner (as with, buying, the right shoes, for, an evening party for instance) (as a, small example really) [in all really, as mentioned before, that hows, all, trials, tribulations, and tests even, in South East Asia, are, dealt with really].


East Asia: Promise

In East Asia, every living moment faced, has to do really, with, seeking out, Promise [as when, faced with, any form really, of, trial, test, or, tribulation even]. Promise here, can be defined, as, the seeking out, of, encouragement, hope, and even, outlook/impact. That at just about, any, moment, in East Asia, when Sacrifice (in the form really), of test, trial or tribulation comes up, one, deals with it, in the form really, of Promise [as in, encouragement, hope, or even, outlook/impact] [In many ways too, what, Oscar winning movies, are, really like (all about even)] [Outlook/impact here, refers really, to, the outwardly effects, that, ones actions, might, have, in, a Society] [Japan, is the exception, to all this, as they have traditionally, lived, based on, Godliness (with regards, to all this, and, making Japanese Society too, somewhat, similar, to African)].

The Middle East & Afrique: Signs & Symbols

In the Middle East & Afrique, every, living moment lived, has to do, with, seeking out, Signs & Symbols, that in all too, symbolize, Perfection, Beauty, and, Simplicity [in all their forms]. In just about, anything done (including, the, washing, of ones hands), one, has to seek out really, Signs & Symbols, that, speak of (show really that is), that, Perfection, Beauty, or, even, Simplicity [has been, attained].


All the above today, as mentioned before, destroyed, by, the seeking out, instead, of, Pride [in the form really, of, intimacy/secrets, sex/pleasure, and, love/indulgence too even].
