Darwin's Love...
Just how deep is your love? It follows that when your children or husband/wife are not well; you too feel stress and worry. We would do anything to help our loved ones and obviously relieve our stress at their recovery. We would also do the same to protect them from harm and if anything should happen to them. That love is questioned in here as to why we stress when our family is unwell, and why we might risk our lives to protect them? The response suggests how feelings and senses are related to our loved ones. We would feel good at their recovery, and feel stress at their ailing or when in unsafe circumstances. Why we have this relation with our loved ones examines the underlying meaning and value of our relationships.
Darwin's Evolution explains the material aspect of one for him/herself. Material aspects are desires, wishes, lust, and sensual feelings that are often referred to as love. When man finds a wife and has children he achieves for himself love and happiness. Everything he does aim at fulfilling his selfish ambitious desires. That's cutting a fine figure is said of a woman who sacrifices her appetite and toiling hours of exercise in order to look good for the man. But certainly true of the survival of the fittest that man simply relies on his macho whether it's money or muscle he takes what he desires.
So, when his family is unwell, the man's feelings are stressed as the loss brings him much unhappiness. Obviously stress is a symptom of un-fulfilled desire. It is not empathy for the loss of the so-called loved one. Thus life in Darwin's Evolution is determined by the subjective aspect of the material. Material aspects include feelings that are destructive to oneself or others around him. The fulfilment of selfish desire may result with possessiveness of Darwin for his family and true to Altruism a 'self' centred mode. And there is only material and political freedom in Darwin's evolution as he strips the material of destruction.
In My Social Relations, the subjective aspects of feelings and senses are filtered by the practice of principles. By practice, the individual discovers the reasons, meanings, and outcomes to choose for him/herself. Rational freedom opts for an objective outcome contributed not to fulfil the individual's selfish desire, but to the common good.
It is when the loved one's feelings and senses produce an objective outcome to the family and community that the material aspects are validated to become binding values of relationships. The husband and wife therefore not only maintain a relationship between them but also share a relationship with their family and their community.
It could also be said that a rational decision to achieve the common good also fulfils the individual's desire to do good therefore altruism is true to the individual's ambition to do good. It's not so because the mode of rational action is not to achieve the individual's desire but to contribute to the common good. The individual shares in the common good, he/she is not the end good in itself. The selfish desire is motivated by the material aspect of feeling and senses heightened by their instincts. But the rational desire is motivated by the principle to modify feelings and senses is elevated by the intuitive act of conscious awareness of what ought to be the right thing to do. In the former, the individual is not free to choose as he/she strives for selfish ambition, in the latter the individual is free and naturally does what is right. What is right depends upon the principle where the bind is valid in the universal sense.
The basis of social institution is established for individuals to contribute to the common good as they share in participation of meeting their needs. You see, this has a lot more to do with the economy and maintaining a stable market than the individual's paper economy that accumulates wealth for him/herself. It is the availability of the market that the businessman depends upon. There is no invisible hand or handout in here, it is rational participation to contribute to the social organisation of society. Society is the social organisation of the economy, and as we experience, there's no economy without society.
It is not a relationship when the individual is attached to the material aspect of achieving his/her own selfish desire. If individuals are motivated to fulfil their own ambitious desires, then they share no relationships with others they come across. They are mere units of production, the means of achieving selfish desire. And their accumulation aggregates a gathering of individuals in a place only existent in the moment of material satisfaction.
The husband's feelings and senses are related in a bond to his family, but if this is based on a subjective aspect then it is not a social relationship serving an objective purpose to the maintenance of the family or the community. There is no freedom in the material aspects and the aggregate maximises the ultimate battle for survival where one man is for himself in the ultimate survival of the fittest.
However, that couldn't be further from the truth. If we consider what's happening with our world right now, over 42% of the world's wealth and resources are owned by 1% of the population. On that ratio, 2.38% of the population own all of the world's wealth and resources. That is exactly what's happening now, 97.62% of the world are living off debts and inflation below the poverty line. And as we also witness everyday live, the current state of affairs is not exactly a state of happiness is it? Existent is a series of unrests, revolts and revolutions, wars, and protests everywhere..!
Individuals maintain their subjective relations by destructive behaviour in the absence of freedom, democracy, and compliance to human and civil rights. Individuals and their families are obliged and forced to do whatever is necessary in order to sustain a living. They are units of production aggregated in enclosures to form some kind of substandard inhuman organisation. Their gathering is not a social organisation but rather an aggregate of units the social consequences of economic determination.
My Social Relations distinguishes objective values from Darwin's material subjective aspects to produce a stable outcome to the organisation of society. The wife and family are not obliged to serve the husband but ought to know the right thing to do. They are free to participate by sharing in the maintenance of their family.
Their feelings and senses are now objectified from their material subjective aspects to realise a value in My Social Relations. That means neither them are feeding a habit or a desire nor providing the means to prolong the tribal ruler's addiction. The same point is emphasised in culture where tribalism is transcended. But now family members are conscious not only of their own needs but also share similar values with other families in the community. Their collective participation in the sharing of common values constitutes society. You see, it is not the individual who ends up with all the happiness, but rather everyone gets a share of health, welfare, and wellbeing therefore happiness.
Clearly, Darwin's Evolution had maximised the individual's power by successfully accumulating wealth for himself. With all that wealth accumulated in the hands of the few, the rest of the population and the world strive to sustain a living below the poverty line. It is by restoring society, its family and labour force that the market upon which business individuals depend is re-established. The accumulation of units does not prompt social relations in the stabilisation of the economy. It is the results of free individuals who are motivated by their democratic participation in achieving their needs as they participate in the maintenance of the market.
Darwin's subjective freedom is one for him/herself. He goes out hunting to feed his ego while his loved one stays at home. How deep is his material and political love faces the ultimate test when he comes home unexpectedly to find a threatening pose to his ego. In a flight of defence, natural instincts heighten destruction reflective of a predetermined material mode. Many of Darwin's loved ones fell victim to his might as he sustains an individual cause in the castle of his material selfish love. Intuitive conscience reaction on the other hand suggests a predetermined principle mode to do the right thing. Individualism, tribalism, and Darwinism are simply too backward to succeed in the diverse modern world..
