The Basic Operating Principles of Honesty – A Sermon from Reality
In honesty there are no excuses, only actions taken based on pure and cold rationality and reality. With that, I begin this post on The Basic Operating Principles of Honesty.
When everything is removed externally, you are left with yourself; that’s not just an overused old bromide, but the genuine reality of the situation. So remove the unreality, and what do you have? Quite rhetorically, sure, you still have an imagination, but it’s yours. Besides, besides that, all you have is reality.
Reality is the “what” we get out of what we have. For example, you climb a mountain, what happens some time after the experience? Sure, you can say, “I climbed that mountain,” but unless you always have more goals and better goals to climb, you’ve got nothing. Because as any rational person would say: the past is not the same as the future and the present is cold, hard cash, mined, spotted, spendable, coded gold.
If you are working, earning and doing. Genuine and patient earning is the ultimate basic operating principle of honesty. Like letting the oak grow in its time.
So the one thing I really agree with Dr. Martin Luther King on in his nonviolent message, and what I feel is his most important message to all people is, “You better win, honey, you better win.” instead of burning, honey, burning.” Yes, if you are patient, honest and win, no matter what, it is truly yours with the price of self-defense and productive use. Self-defense of said earnings is the right of every patient, honest wage earner. Even volumes one through four of Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” say this repeatedly in different applications within that work. Therefore, I mention this note and done: I did not say in this article anything that advocates any kind of initiation force or unreasonable arbitrary destruction of any kind and I will not mention or say in any article or in any of my articles anything that advocates any initiation force . or unreasonable wanton destruction of any kind. Everything I do in life is productive and productive reasoning applies, including my writing and communications. So if I am “evil” for being so thoroughly rational and realistic. So be it.
But, as I said, I am not advocating any initiatory force or initiatory violence. Only genuinely rational self-defense. In The Basic Operating Principles of Honesty many things will be and have been touched upon including the total epistemological philosophy of honesty and the total epistemological philosophy of dishonesty. Light will shine into your minds, hearts and souls on the nature of what is real in a genuinely functioning rational mind. So, I repeat:
In honesty there are no excuses, only actions taken based on pure and cold rationality and reality.
The good reality is won. It takes bad reality. What do I mean by “cattle”? I mean developed with patience, working realistically and honestly. What do I mean by “taken”? I mean stolen, unrealistically lazy and dishonest. Let’s start there. Theft and initiatory violence are suicide for the psyche and what really revives a psyche is hard work, earned values and honesty from the ground up. True character is only built through honesty. This is not just a bromide, I live on this. More than that, this is how I created my writing step by step, honest integration, patience and hard work.
I earned my life, my existence. I will not waste it or waste it. My mind and my life are not garbage inside, garbage outside; it is Actions In, Results Out in the most logical and honestly rational way that is in tune with reality. Like Mr. Spock in “Star Trek,” I feel the deepest emotions and feelings that need and want the anchor of logic. People who feel deep love and emotions need the anchor of logic and reason more. Because real love and genuine compassion are always tempered with a genuine balance of logic, reason, and realism.
Like Mr. Spock singing with the “hippies” in the “Star Trek” episode about the Garden of Eden or negotiating peace with the Klingons in the final “Star Trek” movie with the original cast (“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country”). Genuine compassion is looking past all petty concerns and surface emotions and getting to the heart of reality and honesty and taking the right actions that are realistic to reason. Because honesty is what honesty does.
Rationality and honesty are the most important values that exist because of what I have said as the Basic Operating Principle of Reality and honesty: Actions Inside, Results Outside. Called as seen, that is what it all comes down to without repentance of objective reality.
