The Language of Equality

Language is so we can describe what we feel and think (ok, maybe, not all the time). Feelings and thoughts combined make opinions (pretty much all the time, unless you're sleeping or dead). We (all human beings not sleeping or dead) are, in my opinion, not books on a shelf to compare pages, as if the knowledge in our heads total something more than tiny bits of energy we've stored up in memory. We are living human beings on the planet earth, and the date and time are on your phone or computer screen. No need to reach into any knowledge of history, vast and accurate as it may be, this is more about where ideas come from, not what the ideas consist of. The ability to form ideas yet thought of, not ones in memory or knowledge from books. Language skills take shape at a very young age, and expressing our emotions is our first use of the ability. Language and communication skills are a clear indication of upper brain function, we're not just grunting at each other with very cool electronic devices in our hands where a club was held. Consider arrogance as a way people convince themselves they're experts about someone else's thoughts, based on their own belief of things called facts or truth. In reality, an arrogant person always says 'trust me, I'm smarter than you', or 'you just don't understand'. What an arrogant mindset can/will not understood is, there is not enough trust to form belief from the negativity of arrogance, not even with a moderate understanding of equality in respect to understanding. Arrogance is a side effect of the negative influence of fear and it's not about comparing intelligence at all, it's emotional. Maybe in part to a dependency on negative energy for a host of reasons, and an unclear idea of equality (of little or varying value).

The emotional power of fear is typically used in language for deception or to persuade, and not always a caring precaution, and this is true no matter who you trust. Keep this in mind, all the information and knowledge you have is not bound or limited by emotion, it thrives in it. Language is from emotional beings, to emotional beings, unless the energy in our heads makes us all superior beings (believe whatever you'd like, you really should). Either way, we are equal. Language is to find our similarities, not bicker about our differences. Negative energy is the essence of conflict, positive energy is unification, or in other words, understanding. If this makes sense to you, then chances are you will 'believe' it is truth. Again, believe whatever you'd like, we don't fully believe things we need to be convinced of.

Energy allows a brain to function, positive energy allows it to function properly. A simple idea can remain simple, no matter how hard or complex using or implementing the idea is. Arrogance will not be driven off with anger, wit, or perseverance. You cannot force someone to understand the value of equality. Arrogance is an expression of hatred, without empathy, all that is left of someone without something as simple as care.

When the addictive negative energy of hatred is believed in and used, it is only after care has first been removed. Arrogance can become hidden within the complexity of fear, some affected can seem unaware. It becomes twisted around the idea of pride and self worth like a parasite. Even cause driven communication can be riddled with hatred, as to use the negative influence to round up teammates to join the hatred of something or someone. History shows time and time again, fear can create and fuel hatred, and arrogance tends to hide it away and allow it to continue effectively until the actual date and time on your screen right now. Right now is reality. It's when we face reality together, we come to realize we can't just collectively hate something away, it takes an understanding of equality first as a language of unity to find a solution, and not the short-lived unity of hatred. There is no way to wage war on war, but hatred still tries. The solution is not alone in filling a bandwagon, no matter how much support you deserve or wish for, or how large or small a cause might be, it's more where a bandwagon arrives. Only in a balanced emotional state can we speak from a universal language of equality. Until human beings learn to communicate within this language, comparable to the purity of numbers (insert numerical truth), we have only our vocabulary, influenced by inherent emotions first (empathy, remembering we're humans not books) and then knowledge and the opinions they form. We are amazing beings that instantly convert energy from thought into understanding and knowledge, usually by age three or four.

The language of equality is in energy form within ideas, not words. Because we are emotional beings, it must be felt to be understood. As fear can link to an internal chemical release in the brain and circulate chemicals throughout the body, specifically with epinephrine (adrenaline), it should be considered the trigger of a hidden chemical weapon. One we use on ourselves and others. Understanding a human being, and other complicated things, requires leveled emotions, as to not poison yourself with the scientifically proven effects and after-effects of fear. Simply put, the negative energy in fear is poisonous. The only reason to choose either fight or flight, is because we feel (emotion) threatened, and can't think of another option due to the result of the feeling. After the adrenaline burns off, things become much more understandable. Life is not a scenario. Fear is the greatest limitation known to humanity, still. A dictionary in any language (and the Google mainframe) has all the definitions, but can't feel a thing.

From the second we are born, we feel, we think, we live (in that order). If there is one word in all written language that could translate a language of equality, in my opinion it would be truth.

The following has been a mixture of fact and opinion, how much of each is for you to decide. Being able to decide anything at all is a function of equality for all human beings, regardless of a written definition, or the decision...

Like-Minded Individuals

Is looking for a like-minded individual considered judging the people you meet?

With both good and bad interpretations of the word judging, perhaps due to the implication of trust, this becomes an interesting question to say the least. Before you answer (unless you already have), consider the question is only brought to you through this digital media, in a modern(ish) digital realm. In the physical world, where people can look into each other's eyes, read body language and facial expressions, we understand more than each other's words. Here, the question has no emotion, no real passion to show care or understanding. The words have less value without the voice of the human being who created the arrangement. My question is just a group of words on a screen. Would the answer be the same if I randomly met you somewhere and casually asked you in conversation? This being a question about a question, consider an answer about your answer.

Perhaps this two directional answer will clear things up. I tried to have one no and one yes, but all I could come up with was two yeses. So, is looking for like-minded individuals judging those who we meet? Yes, if you consider them like-minded, and yes, if you consider them as having some different kind of mind than you have. It's finding someone different than ourselves is when we pass our judgment over to our opinion, and then onto those we have met. We are all like-minded by nature, we simply use our judgment both positively and negatively. Keep in mind, like-minded people we meet become our friends, our buddies, those who would do anything for us, and us for them. Naturally we look for more friends to share our like minds with. Interests and similarities form attraction, unlike magnetic opposites. We don't get together and hang out, chill, or whatever you might do to annoy or hate each other.

Using your judgment typically involves consideration, and real time reasoning in place of assumption. Your better judgment contains all the things you would have yourself judged with or by. It has compassion, understanding, and a direct link to the wonder of forgiveness. Kindness is a product of love, and delivered by our better judgment. It's not just the definition of fair, it's the entire concept of it. We use our judgment as a foundation for the pillars of trust. Your better judgment is a reflection of your true understanding of love, something we were born from. Although it is tied to our core emotion, it can be disguised or cloaked at times, due in part to the depth and complexity of fear, and the towering heights of trust. Using poor judgment is actually using a lack of judgment, and will typically involve some degree of fear. Clouded or missing judgment can lead to the development of arrogance. With even a mildly arrogant mindset, assumption will overcome reasoning, doubt will overcome trust.

So, if you should find yourself using judgment on people you meet remember this, kept to yourself it can always be changed, once you voice your opinion, judgment has been passed. Your judgment, and your opinions are the real you, they are based on your perspective of life...

In Your Opinion

Your opinion is very important if you form it yourself. The ones we borrow are just not as valuable. Your opinion is a simple combination of what you feel and think, and that's where simplicity ends. Your opinion is used to describe everything you've ever learned, your perspective on history, reality, and the future. Keep in mind, the opinion you have about any one specific thing is keep with your opinion about all the other things, and that would include everything. Not very simple at all.

To form anything you need some kind of base material. An opinion is generated by an emotional response to knowledge which is processed into understanding, or the effect one has upon the other. All incoming information is energy to a human brain, and subject first to emotional response, as they are inherent. Consider the process of understanding as a series of filters, and the emotional filter receives the information first. At birth, the emotional filter is all we have, and learned information becomes part of the filtering system as information is processed into understanding or knowledge. Learning cycles are complete when new information bonds, or blends with learned information (knowledge) and completely filters back through to memory. Forming an opinion is a natural side effect of the learning process. They are influenced by all that inspires us. Your opinion is your critical link to expression, and all forms of expression are done with emotion. The process is nearly reversed, up from ideas and memory, through word association and usage, right to the emotional filter for speech (or written words). Lost in the complexity of our own emotions, we can loose regard for the thoughts and feelings of those to whom we express our opinions. If we find emotional harmony or balance within ourselves, in a sense, we are keeping the filter level. Love and fear are opposing forces, and balancing them is much harder than it sounds.

 If your opinion is honestly how you feel, it is more often considered valued. If your opinion is formed from broad assumptions, or contains a motive, it can sidetrack or undo the value in having it. What you form your opinion from becomes equally as important as what it formed into. This is easily understood, with the amazing balance of honesty. Honesty shapes your opinion. In a word, trust. 

Some might say emotions are used more than knowledge to form opinions or to use  judgment, and to them this creates a 'certain kind' of person with thousands of groups to associate them with. Others will say knowledge is used more, and this creates the 'other kind' of person with equally as many groups. A true understanding of equality is focused more on the dynamic use of energy for thought, which is why we form opinions, and less to do with categorizing people into understandable groups, which is what we do after we form the opinion. Perhaps we should use emotions and knowledge equally to better understand each other. Understanding is the reason we communicate in the first place.

So even with our desire for facts on an endless quest for truth, and with our ever loving need to communicate, as far and as fast as our words can travel, everything will come right down to our opinion. Any one description of life itself is an opinion, acting as an indirect view or peripheral vision of perception. Because we think we reach conclusions, and we hold experience in memory, and use that experience to understand the use and value in wisdom.

What's in your opinion? The real question is, what isn't...
