Pursuit to achieve necessary goodness

The comment box below invites readers to comment.

Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means:  Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed, escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for example, trying to change it.

"Civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for individual happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad in connections and transactions.

Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase its proposal as follows: The civic faction, We the People of the United States, proffer & practice 6 public pursuits —- integrity, justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue happiness “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening-to and considering other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text, unless it is amended by the civic-people.

It seems the Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.

Every citizen has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain, oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.

Selected theme from this month

Necessary goodness is often unknown, so may and can be pursued. Its appeal to humankind can be accepted by civilizations, nations, states, cities, churches, families, and citizens. However, good behavior is chosen by the civic citizen – here, the faction We the People of the United States.

I write opinion, because I do not know the ineluctable truth. But necessary goodness is accommodated by both Genesis 1, 5500 year old political philosophy, and the United States Constitution, 234 years ratified.

Genesis 1:26-28, 31, asserts that it is good that humankind has the responsibility to pursue order to life on earth.

In its amenability by the civic faction and its intentions “to ourselves and our Posterity”, stated in the preamble, the United States pursues statutory justice: written law containing no injustices.

Life to each family is challenging. The purpose of church is to support the family in its quest to discover necessary goodness and consequently practice good behavior to each family member. Pursuit of mystery is divisive to the family and its members.

I object to (customary) distractions from necessary goodness.

To the civic faction, We the People of the United States, patriotic education clarifies the necessary goodness that motivates and inspires responsible behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”. The civic faction aids and appreciates the rule of law and its enforcement-branches unto statutory justice, which the United States pursues through its Constitution.

History’s events if not reports make it clear that humankind may and can pursue good behavior. Badness happened and need not obscure necessary goodness. The war against England, successful in 1783, need not overshadow the republic the 13 free and independent states intended in 1787 and effected, together with the 14th state, by ratifying the amended United States Constitution on December 15, 1791.

Patriots effect if not know that only civic individuals collaborate for the associations that empower a nation to pursue necessary goodness on earth. The civic faction aids reforming dependency, constraining wickedness and crime, and annihilating evil.

Attention to divine liberty and freedom represses patriotic aid to good behavior. Settlers in English colonies of North America, recognizing that they were being enslaved as masters over African-slaves, declared war against King George and Parliament. Englishman John Locke had written in 1690 that the civic citizen intends “to preserve himself, his liberty and property”. Without royal authority to free African-slave properties, colonial Thomas Jefferson wrote the Locke-mimic “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Jefferson resisted calling slaves “property”, when civic and civil independence from the world’s mightiest empire was his purpose.

But Congress called slaves “property” until after the Civil War, when the 13^th and 14^th amendments reversed the Dred Scott decision. Necessary goodness is its own driver, and patriots aid the pursuit.

Lorenc wrote that Marx’s communism starts with abolition of personal property then jumped to soul  -- a strawman fallacy. He quoted Solzhenitsyn:

“We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future.”

No one justly imposes soul-concern on another.

Religious institutions impose on innocent children doctrine about universal mystery, like "soul", dividing humankind over what no civilization knows. The consequence is religious adults imposing on children, victimizing them in war.

Aristotle, d. 322 BC, said “Give me a child [through age] seven and I will show you the [person].” It’s beyond surprising that, after 2350 years people still try to enslave society to soul. After everything humankind has discovered, how can churches try to persuade children to spend their opportunity to live, striving for favorable afterdeath – that vast time after mind, body, and person stopped functioning?

Each person may and can pursue necessary goodness and consequential good-behavior until their last breath. Both Genesis 1 and the United States Constitution influence the civic faction to pursue necessary goodness “to ourselves and our Posterity”, as confirmed by whatever constrains the consequences of personal choices -- the god, the laws of physics, or unknown.

Latham's title for the article, together with, "The motivations that lead nations to engage in warfare . . . are deeply rooted in human nature", seem to me to misrepresent or neglect humankind's responsibility: to discover and practice necessary goodness.

Latham's "moral imperatives that guide our actions" may and can be addressed by every education department on earth. Necessary goodness is the guide, and good behavior is the practice. The consequences of human choice offer the record of errors, not to be repeated by anyone; hence the necessity of integrity in reporting and considering happenings.

Necessary goodness requires civic citizens to reform slackers, dissidents, and rebels; constrain criminals; avoid and resist wickedness; and annihilate evil. Among civic citizens, good behavior is its own reward.

#USpreamber, #acivicpeople

To Van Hamlin:

A couple of considerations:

First, the person who reportedly said that we should use his name was Yeshua. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua. Since discovering this, I have read the Complete Jewish Bible for NT and the Orthodox Jewish Bible for OT, to compare with NIV. Yeshua's influence has always guided my life, as I discovered 3 years ago. Yeshua always urges necessary goodness.

Second, John may have been accurate when he opined that Yeshua was present in the beginning. John 8:58, CJB, "Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! Before Avraham came into being, I AM!” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208&version=CJB .

If so, Yeshua may be the judge represented in Genesis 1:31, OJB; "And G-d saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me’od (very good)." Since G-d, in Genesis 1:26-28 gave humankind dominion over life on earth, praying for G-d to take charge seems a request for usurpation of assigned duty.

It seems that if there will be a peaceful world, civic citizens will intend to make it happen.

https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-believe-maintaining-integrity-and-honor-is-more-important-than-winning-even-if-cheating-would-never-be-discovered, anonymous

The civic faction, We the People of the United States, accept that discovering and practicing necessary goodness is humankind’s purpose “to ourselves and our Posterity”. Posterity includes legal immigrants.

Civic integrity prevails as good behavior — never repeat an error, whether experienced or observed, for example, in church stories.

Necessary goodness is disclosed by the physical and psychological consequences of human choices.

After 5500 years, empowered with language, writing, grammar, and thought, churches may and can reform from establishing and maintaining doctrine grounded in mystery. By not dividing people over mystery no one knows, churches may and can facilitate attention to humankind rather than war for civil favor among humankind. Thus, churches may and can protect their children from the ravages of war.

I support a church, hoping to influence such reform after 45 years there. I think reform is possible.

Not only that, non-penetrating sodomy between soldiers is encouraged by military rules. Institutional benefits nevertheless damage if not ruin perpetrators’ psychologies.

My dad, whose dad died of cancer when Dad was 12, taught me sex by secrecy regarding Mom submitting to a mysterious god.

One day, home alone and threatened, I searched for the hand gun I knew dad kept and found some strange, homemade toys.

I managed to avoid psychological threats to my life, because as an adolescent I realized that any abuse I subjected myself to would be known by the other party and haunt me. I turned down Judy’s piece and Kay’s blow job.

And then I met my bride — a serenely confident school teacher. During courtship, I perceived she felt she had found her mate. It was up to me to protect us from passionate pregnancy.

I was aware of Yeshua’s influence, in Matthew 19:3–5: “Some P’rushim came and tried to trap [Yeshua] by asking, “Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife on any ground whatever?” He replied, “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and that he said, ‘For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two are to become one flesh’?”

An authentic man takes responsibility to prevent unwanted pregnancy. I think every adolescent, female as well as male, should know this psychology and other political philosophy with physical consequences that Yeshua expressed.

Every education department may and can reform so as to inculcate comprehension and intention to human being (the practice).

I write opinion, because I do not know the ineluctable truth.

Most people think their behavior ought to be good and want to behave. Therefore, they pursue necessary goodness. However, individuals, societies, and nations often face situations wherein they can neither judge necessity nor know that no action is required.

But repeated bad consequences, when humans don’t choose good behavior, make it plain that indolence, badness, and wickedness must be resisted and avoided. And evil must be annihilated.

The evolution of civilization records the mistakes that necessary goodness could have avoided. The Internet makes it possible to discover past human error and avoid repetition.

Wikipedia may be used to explore mistakes the reader suspects. My purpose is to avoid repetition of suspected human error. For example, I appreciate, Yeshua, whose political philosophy to necessary goodness some writers resist using “Jesus” or “Christ”.

So far, religions and governments impose higher powers: mysteries and war, neglecting if not hiding humankind’s obligation to provide order on earth and to human extensions.

To reform the chasm created by religions and government, the civic faction of humankind, the individuals, societies, and nations who oppose indolence, badness, wickedness, and evil may and can require every education department to reform so as to facilitate, encourage, and promote the human desire for good behavior.

Only with intention can a human individual resist or prevent repeating human error.

Good morning, Taylor.
What a wonderful adventure you are living!
Your outcrop-photo reminds me of my youth in Knoxville, TN, living near rocks (near the Tennessee River) I climbed, looking for fossils. When I started college, I threw my collection away, knowing I could easily replace each item -- fishbacks, snail, etc.
Yesterday, I met with a rabbi for 2 hours and learned that, to him, Yeshua is not a feature of mainstream Jewish literature.
But the rabbi was fascinated by the concept of necessary goodness. To Jewish mentors, Hillel the Elder(d. 10 CE), his grandson Gamaliel (d. maybe 50), and Maimonides (d. 1204), I added Yeshua (d. 33), researching the dates after the meeting.
The rabbi asked me to spell "Yeshua" then insisted on Jesus as non-feature. However, "Yeshu" is a controversial feature; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_in_the_Talmud.
I doubt we'll meet again, but I am forever changed by the discussion.
Regardless, Yeshua, who I think suggested necessary goodness (e.g., Matthew 5:48), remains my mentor to good behavior.
Please see my latest FB post to understand "mentor".
Please tell Meridith "hello".

I think the civic faction, We the People of the United States, accommodates reform “to ourselves and our Posterity”. “Posterity” includes legal immigrants.

From the beginning of language and grammar, there have been precocious thinkers who imagined necessary goodness. That is, observing the consequences of human choices, thinkers, in their generation’s era of discovery, imagined recording both mistakes to not repeat and goodness to practice.

Scholars happily research the inventors of writing and grammar: primitive Sumerian civilization and competitors, such as the Egyptians, Asians, and others.

Discovers of necessary goodness are celebrated. The Code of Ur-Nammu, 4100 old, celebrates kings who deliver justice, e.g., to care for widows and orphans. Anaxagoras, 2500 years ago, reported that the moon is not a god. Socrates asked if humankind appreciates goodness more than gods. Hillel, 2000 years ago said, “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow,” without the Internet, mimicking Confucius, 500 years earlier. Maimonides (died 1204) said charity is: to aid a person’s quest for independence. Yeshua, executed in 33 CE, said, “Be perfect [like a god]” (Matthew 5:48 and Psalm 82). Ralph Waldo Emerson (Divinity School Address, 1838) appreciated and promoted the message: be perfect.

Alas, Yeshua is not celebrated as a political philosopher. By making Yeshua divine, by waiting for an anointed one, and by seeking retribution, Abrahamic believers, about 3.5 billion of 8 billion people on earth, hold hostage necessary goodness. War seems preferred more than good behavior.

The civic faction, so far, cannot reform badness, constrain criminality, discourage wickedness, and annihilate evil. I think humankind is at the abyss and may reform.

By 350 CE, Vetus Latina was complete and Iesus (pronounced Yehsus) was announced as the fulfillment of the 200 BC Tanakh’s prophesied Messiah. The 500 CE Talmud controversially mentions the Hebrew name “Yeshua”, perhaps referring to the Aramaic “Isho”. But Yeshua is not a feature of modern Judaism.

Through translations and transliteration, 0 CE's Yeshua became “Jesus” in 1557 (Geneva Bible). “Jesus”, a constructed divinity, is only 500 years old, compared to Yeshua, a person who, 2000 years ago, observed and thought about that which constrains the consequences of human choices but did not write.

I do not know the ineluctable truth. Discussion, yesterday, with Rabbi Peretz Kazen, happily provided insights to this opinion.

I hope readers take Yeshua seriously rather than dismiss him as "Jesus", which replaced the Latin "Iesus" only 500 years ago.
Yeshua did not write. Consequently, students can only pursue that real-person’s ideas within the universes of opinions about writers' constructs.
Lately, I am focused on necessary goodness and the pursuit of good behavior, discernable from civic citizens, past and present, including Yeshua the Nazarene of 2000 years ago.
Most scripture strains to match or better the Jewish literature, which may deflect preceding Sumerian physical and psychological achievements, such as invention of writing, grammar, and law codes.
In later literature, whereas Moses struck a rock to produce water, Yeshua turned water into wine. Whereas Elijah raised a person from the death bed, Yeshua resurrected a corpse from 4 days’ death. Even though writers report Yeshua doing miracles or claiming he is the Messiah, his personal conversations and speeches encourage good behavior (e.g., Matthew 5). Often, he re-directs a question to teach good choices (e.g., Matthew 19:3-5). When Pilate asked the accused if he is a king, Yeshua answered, “Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to me” (John 18:37).
I think the primary incentive to pursue Yeshua rather than another entity, such as Jesus, Christ, or other, is to study Yeshua’s influence to necessary goodness, in order to strengthen personal intentions and practice to good behavior rather than bad.
As student of Genesis 1:26-28,31, Yeshua reportedly said, “Be perfect” (Matthew 5:48). This demand implies that the listener CAN be perfect, if he or she has the intention. I prefer to intend perfection rather than accept that I am a sinner to repeat mistakes.
Consider some celebrated constructs about Yeshua, the person, as follows.
James, Yeshua’s brother, wrote (James 1:1) to the 12 tribes in exile, or Jews, that; observing the perfect Torah gives freedom (James 1:25), the executed Yeshua’s return to unite the tribes was near (James 5:8), and that tribe members should help each other avoid erroneous living (James 5:20). It seems James wrote of salvation from erroneous living rather than for favorable afterlife.
Peter, hoping to represent the named apostles, influenced that to perfect Jewish obedience (Matthew 5:17-20) and blood sacrifice (Leviticus 17:11) facilitates salvation also to Gentiles (John 1:1-29). Additionally, Yeshua’s execution was sufficient blood sacrifice for every person who was chosen to believe, past, present, and future (Hebrews 9:25-28).
Paul, a self-proclaimed representative for the Gentiles, wrote that obeying male circumcision was unnecessary, and salvation through Yeshua’s execution was a gift to the afterdeath rather than to obedient living – grace to souls rather than to obedient persons (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Paul and Peter held in common belief in salvation through Yeshua’s execution.
John, an apostle, wrote that Yeshua was in fact The God (John 1:1,29). The God self-incarnated so as to sacrifice blood.
I did not find Jewish literature that claims Yeshua impacted Israel. The few “Messianic Jews”, perhaps 200 thousand of 15 million Jews, are split between Yeshua anointed for the Jews and Christians -- Jews who by grace believe Yeshua died to redeem their souls; antinomians.
Arabs and some other humans seem to think Yeshua was a prophet.
As we struggle to reform life among humankind, I hope Yeshua’s influence to necessary goodness aids repressing traditional badness and wickedness, through individual and collaborative preferences to good behavior by individuals, societies, and nations.
I write opinion, only because I do not know the ineluctable truth.

As spouse to a woman of intentional goodness, I think our 3 children demonstrate physical and psychological pursuit of necessary goodness and personal quest to good behavior. Necessary goodness is often unknown.

Fortunately to me, I lived long enough to discover that I choose necessary goodness rather than pursue the god. When my wife died at age 84, I wrote for her eulogy, "She chose necessary goodness and humbly inspires those who don’t comprehend."

When I wooed her, I mistakenly felt that if I changed to her religion I'd be giving up my humanity. My delusion impacted our children. I cannot say they are better for it, but they improve humankind, to their credit.

It's been 2350 years since Aristotle thought, and our generation, perhaps the 123rd, benefits from history's discovery of what constrains the consequences of human choice. The time for indoctrinating children into anything but good behavior in humankind's quest for necessary goodness has long since past.

Necessary goodness motivates and inspires good behavior

We know that on earth, humankind is responsible for order.

So far, education departments have not accepted that it’s a bottom up opportunity:  Each person may and can constrain chaos in their way of living and thereby aid humankind in the quest for good behavior. Each city may and can encourage, facilitate, and improve civic citizens’ comprehension of necessary goodness and civilly constrain badness, wickedness, and evil. Each state may mimic good behavior by its civic cities. Each nation may mimic its civic states. The consequence could be a world with civic constraint on both badness and wickedness plus continual annihilation of evil.

Each person may and can collaborate with citizens past and present to discover necessary goodness and promote good behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”.

Antagonistic media don't seem to have the intelligence to consider the fact that they look stupid to citizens of the United States. If reporters represent other countries, those countries need to wake up to their national ruin they invite by not cautioning their reporters.

Even after Thom Tillis answered with the facts respecting Biden's failures, Mark Rutte stepped in to show NATO gratitude for the relief United States citizens delivered by voting for President Trump and for Trump's kind delivery on his promises.

And Rutte rejected Shaheen's claim that Trump was weak in starting the clock yesterday rather than taking final action against Putin, without giving Putin-allies a chance to avoid loss.

It's past time for the Democratic Party to divorce themselves from their leftist members and from the leftist media. If they continue to bleed stupidity, it will take them more than 100 years to recover.

And it's past time for the world to recognize that the United States pursues necessary goodness against wickedness. Other nations may and can choose good behavior.

Dear Mr. President:

A non-atheist, I do not accept theists’ labels to me, like “atheist”, except for their pleasure. I am a god facing death (Psalm 82, Orthodox Jewish Bible) and, therefore, responsibly resist whoever is wicked.

I trust-in and commit-to whatever constrains the consequences of human choice; for talk, call it “The God”.

Judeo-Christianity covers arrogant controversies, starting with Elohim/G-d in Genesis 1 and ending with The Trinity, suggested in Hebrews 9 competitively codified by 405 CE.

Also, 5500 years ago humans were killed to obtain blood and flesh to be burned to the gods of polytheism to redeem survivors’ sins. Killing animals and birds for blood sacrifice continued 3900 years ago as monotheism emerged.

After Yeshua was executed in 33 CE, entrepreneur Paul sold Christ as the blood sacrifice for all souls rather than for sins. I opine Judeo-Christianity’s blood sacrifice fails sufficient humility to The God; I do not know the ineluctable truth.

      I heard that Iran offers $40 million for killing you. Genesis 1:26-28, 31 suggests that only female and male humankind may and can provide necessary good on earth. Therefore, I am counting on you and yours, United States secret service, police, and military forces to protect your life. I look to good behavior rather than religious prayer.

I’m 82 and love life so much I hope for another 40 years and to meet you sometime in your retirement perhaps 3 years hence.

Sincerely,

Phil Beaver

The speaker traditionally, erroneously segued from American “independence” to European-Enlightenment “freedom” and “liberty”.

Freedom cannot be granted by an institution, let alone a nation. “So that we may all live free” cannot be accomplished on earth: each person may and can earn her or his living.

Liberty is license attempted by politics. For example, the CSA’s Christianity wanted liberty to enslave people but had not the military power to license injustice. Liberation Theology similarly errs.

Independence is an ineluctable civic-obligation to every human being. Each person’s power, authority, and responsibility to good behavior cannot be usurped.

The United States Constitution, ratified by representatives of 14 states on December 15, 1791, intends and pursues the practice, encouragement, and facilitation to personal and collaborative good behavior.

Let the commemoration in New York Harbor be known as the Statute of Independence on Independence Island, USA.

Homo sapiens think in words, phonics, and grammar – language passed down through the generations. To pursue comprehension of opinions held in today’s Middle East requires appreciation of history’s impact on individual and cultural evolution during the recent 5500 years.

Sumerian-speaking people invented writing in a distinct-language or isolate. Together, their inventions to convert from agrarian to urban living, their law codes, and their war-treaties suggest that polytheistic mysteries admit that humankind is responsible to order the earth.

Coexisting with others in ancient Mesopotamia, a global trading-crossroad, were Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and Proto-Indo-European speakers (including Iranian and Greek).

About 4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to escape oppression. A faction, struggling for a homeland, featured two matriarchs, Semitic Sarah and Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar begot the Arabs. In Genesis 16, Israel damns the Arabs.

As an advocate for the Genesis 1:26-28 and 31 claim that it is good that humankind is responsible for order on earth, I think Israel can denounce Genesis 16 claims against Hagar’s descendants.

The scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C., reported in Anders Corr’s “Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024, Epoch Times, pale before the Genesis 16 offense against Arabs.

All humankind, every person, may and can read the complete Bible. Some people take Genesis 1 as the beginning. It seems to assert that The God (whatever constrains the consequences of human choice, perhaps the laws of physics), assigned to female and male humankind, together, responsibility to order life on earth.

Accepting Genesis 1:26-28 establishes a civic, civil, and intentional wall of separation: The God reigns supreme in the universe and assigns to humankind responsibility to order the earth. Prayer to The God to usurp human responsibility vainly attempts to claim undue favor on earth.

It is not too late for Jews, Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, indeed all religious societies to reform.

Media like The Epoch Times exacerbate the criminal, evil problem by either thoughtlessly or diabolically using language the news industrial complex expects. This article lies about anti-United-States-violence, labeling it "anti-Trump protests".

Occupying public streets so as to prevent daily living is an act of violence.

I think the typical human infant pursues self-discovery-within and reacts-to his or her environment. If most of the people in that environment accept the power, authority, and responsibility to pursue necessary goodness, the infant is likely to acquire comprehension and intention to practice human being (verb). If the environment is negative, the infant is less likely to develop good behavior and may die young.

As evolution unfolds, humankind becomes more aware that something constrains the consequences of human choices to act. The civic citizens want to know about past errors, in order to avoid repetition of loss and pain. By all means, they do not repeat personal mistakes. However, very few young people accept that they may and can avoid error. That’s because education departments do not teach the ineluctable evidence to necessary goodness. Ineluctable means neither avoidable, nor changeable, nor resistible.

Judges, clergymen, and educators “protect” the public from the ineluctable truth, in order to pretend to control gullible groups. Consequently, there are 195 nations and 4200 religions on earth.

The civic citizen is a god facing death and therefore does not fall prey to nationalism or religion, even though he or she may aid pursuit of necessary goodness in both their homeland and their chosen religion. Civic citizens encourage and facilitate good behavior to passives and rebels, aid constraint-of criminals, and support annihilation-of evil.   

The civic faction may and can reform every education department so as to inculcate in youth and adults the pursuit of human being (verb) for long life.

Good behavior is naturally human, but, so far, humankind has not accepted the power, authority, and responsibility to pursue necessary goodness on earth. We may be at the abyss; if so, the future seems good.

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-distinguish-between-moral-and-ethical-issues? Alfred Dominic

I think it’s duty vs performance.

Using Merriam-Webster shields Americans from European opinion. “Ethical” addresses the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation. “Moral” is of or relates-to principles of right and wrong in behavior. Thus, ethical addresses duty while moral addresses performance.

Civic duty is addressed in 5500 year-old literature, at least writing from the Sumerian civilization and subsequent opinion. Sumer’s political philosophy is parochially stated in Genesis 1:26-28, 31:  On earth, civic humankind discovers and applies necessary goodness. Human duty is expressed in Psalm 82:  The gods facing death constrain wicked people. Capability is expressed in Matthew 5:48:  Be perfect.

While the Declaration of Independence (1776) merely declares war on King George II, the United States Constitution, ratified on December 15, 1791, proffers the pursuit of statutory justice (morally improves ancient Sumerian civics).

#USpreambler, #acivicpeople

https://www.quora.com/Is-politics-primarily-a-debate-over-the-definition-of-truth-or-is-there-an-objective-truth-that-should-be-pursued

Politics is the human competition of ordering and executing choice of the good rather than the bad. Truth purses the good, in order to preserve opportunity, even to survive. Civic citizens pursue reliable responsibility to the truth. Civic laws pursue statutory justice.

Dissidents, rebels, and villains manipulate the truth. For example, changing the object deludes civic integrity. Promoting freedom rather then responsibility lessens viability.

The truth often cannot be discerned. For example, no one knows whether The God, the laws of physics, or something else constrains the consequences of each human choice. Reason, revelation, and belief have no power over the ineluctable truth. Only evidence can be used to pursue the ineluctable truth. Thus, cosmic effects dwarf fossil fuel consumption’s impacts on earth’s temperature cycles.

Priests, politicians, lawyers, judges, and educators collaborate to hide from the public the word “ineluctable” and the phrase “ineluctable truth”. “Ineluctable” means “not to be assailed, avoided, changed, escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, or resisted.” The emphasis shows usages listed by Merriam Webster. Collins omits “changed”. Google scanned-book statistics (ngrams) show 2 decades’ study of “inescapable”, in 1550, then of “ineluctable”, in 1570. In 1906, “the ineluctable truth” was published, and usage has grown since then. The art of philosophy avoids evaluation needed to apply adjectives like “ineluctable” and unfortunately stymies understanding: Civic humankind uses words to journey toward understanding rather than to accumulate mere knowledge. Yet knowledge is essential to understanding.

I think the viable object of your question is “the ineluctable truth” and I hope your query leads to exponential increase in usage of ineluctable truth and ineluctable evidence.

Civic citizens practice good behavior more than religious comfort.

You did not trade. You merely bought. If a competitive store used slave labor to offer the goods you want at lower price, their advantage can be offset by tariffs. In other words, stores are competing to sell to you, the consumer.

Ali, I wrote the phrase "god facing death" nearly 30 years ago. Clare and Tom Leeper visited that Saturday to learn where in the literature I had found the phrase. I recently obsessed over discovery that it is discern-able in Psalm 82; https://www.blogger.com/blog/posts/4655583450419191043.
And now, here comes your wonderful gallery of potential gods and goddesses facing death.
If every education department reformed to inculcate the Psalm 82 observation, the gods and goddesses facing death would graduate in confidence that they want to, may, and can always choose good behavior, or at least not repeat badness.
In my opinion, your photography seems to express that Magnolia youth are getting that message, whether it is Psalm-82-articulated or not.
Thank you for sharing.

As a fan of legal immigrants, I see a problem.
Most citizens don't realize that "We the People" is a faction of the United States citizens who understands the preamble. Each member of that faction owns their interpretation of the intentions proffered in the statement.
I think the trust and commitments are: integrity, justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue good behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”.
I think citizens who don't possess a viable opinion of the United States' intentions to necessary goodness ought not receive a license to vote.
I have written to fellow citizens including Mr. President to request voter licensing according to this idea. I hope you will support the movement.

Emily Toth Acceptance of personal ignorance keeps me curious: I do everything I can to prevent the expression, "I believe". I think some people use passionate opinion about anecdotal happenings to try to denigrate other people and their work.

My MRI in 2019 showed only a minor infarction, in my heart-care saga, which surfaced in 1993. Then, Cynthia, walking with me for health, asked, "Why did you slow your pace?" I admitted I was suffering chest pains. She called 911.

Three decades later, unbelieving, I regrettably fell prey to CDC momentum. In 2021, I took 2 COVID-19 vaccines and a booster. In 2022 walking, I perceived that I had lost both former pulmonary strength and resistance to common cold. I worked hard to restore immunity and strength.

In June, 2025, I suffered a minor yet significant stroke, apparent on MRI and accompanied by the discovery of atrial fibrillation -- unheard of in my extensive history.

I am ignorant about the actually-real cause of the blood-clot that caused my recent stroke and am curious if there is any evidence that the 2021 vaccinations drastically changed the cardio activities in my body.

I hope to live to learn some answers, based not on passionate reasoning, but on the ineluctable evidence. Passion seems to justify belief, while research discloses the ineluctable truth.

I doubt supporting other people's passions defeats the ineluctable truth.

The story expresses the value of a 15 year old choosing her authentic parent's influence.

We Homo sapiens, who can be gods facing death (Psalm 82, Orthodox Jewish Bible), may and can inculcate in our youth the comprehension and intention to develop perfect behavior.

The first 4 decades empower comprehension and intention to never repeat an error. The second 4 decades facilitate discovery-of and practice-unto necessary goodness. Reaching the ninth decade facilitates opportunity to never repeat an error. Fortunate gods develop faster.

The individual may and can choose to pursue perfection of her or his unique person.

I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln's 1st inaugural address and his plea to the 7 seceding states, which I modify, “Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world? [The ineluctable truth and] justice will surely prevail by the judgment of [the] great tribunal of the American people.” In 1861, the seceding states were aware of 7:27 unfavorable military and economic strength and had no excuse for devastating loss by 1865. Yet Lincoln does not seem noble to me.
.
In 2025, President Trump plainly warned the weak, vulnerable bad actor. The United States delivered military might. I think in the distant future, we'll learn if the world agrees with the American people.

Let me share an unusual idea, expressed in Psalm 82, Orthodox Jewish Bible, featuring "Elohim" followed by "elohim"; which may be taken as God then god. Quoting, "I have said, elohim ye are . . . ye shall die like adam . . . Arise, Elohim, judge [the land].
I think the Jewish message, when extended to humankind, is: Each human who pursues responsible living, in The God's image, is a god facing death. By never repeating a human error, each person may and can perfect their unique person before dying.
Further, The God always chooses necessary goodness. Personal and collective human duty, is to discover, choose, and practice goodness.

I think it is the duty of every religion to consider this teaching and inform their youth, adolescents, and adults of personal opportunity to adopt the attendant authority, power, and responsibility to human being (the practice).

Greg, please jaw within the wrestling community about paired concepts: attraction and ineluctability.

I have been writing and speaking about "ineluctable" for about a decade. I thought no judge, lawyer, priest, minister, or educator would pay attention. However, a priest changed my experience.

I titled Cynthia's eulogy, "The Ineluctable Cynthia" and offered evidence that she is so morally attractive that her person is not to be avoided, changed, or resisted. "Now you know what 'ineluctable' means." I said she taught me the Psalm 82 instruction (Orthodox Jewish Bible) that a god facing death may and can aid a goddess during life. Yeshua affirmed the idea in John 10:34, CJB.

That was on May 27. On June 8, Fa. Joel LaBauve, in his homily, recalled planning for Cynthia and informed that church that "ineluctable" derives from ancient Greco-Roman wrestling. Attraction to the sport causes contestants to risk ineluctable submission.

What are modern wrestlers thoughts on this?

From July 16 morning's walk in the park:
Every education department may and can reform from devising and imposing civil discipline to pursuing and practicing good behavior -- before the next school-year starts. Most new students intend good behavior.
Genesis 1:26-28, 31, Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB), informs us, and we may accept that female and male humankind is in charge on earth. The laws of physics motivate humankind to discover the ineluctable truth and apply it to the necessary good. The God, whatever constrains the consequences of human choices, cannot and will not usurp humankind’s duty to the good: each human may choose to be wicked.
We may accept that the Homo sapien is a goddess/god facing death (Psalm 82, OJB). By always choosing the necessary good and not repeating human mistakes, they may and can perfect their person before death. Reading about mistakes by both past and contemporary people and reacting to experience, a humble person may live long enough to attain the habit of never repeating a mistake.
We may accept that Yeshua informed us we can be perfect, in Matthew 5:48, Complete Jewish Bible. Yeshua would not have said we may if we could not. (Learn about the unique, mostly uncelebrated religio-political philosopher, Yeshua, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua.)
So far, humankind has not accepted the Genesis-1 power, authority, and responsibility (PAR) to pursue necessary goodness. Instead, divinity schools promote Genesis 2 -3 "fall of man", in order to resist responsibility to good behavior. Consequently, education departments never inculcated comprehension and intention to human being (good behavior).
Doubting power, authority, and responsibility to necessary goodness, educators contrive civil discipline to students. "Educators" appeal to disruptors to observe ever changing rules; they suspend offenders; and they expel terrorists into the streets. Educators ressign to police the responsibility for expelled gods-facing-death. Parents who never considered personal PAR perceive their expelled-child a victim. They're victims of generations of wrongful educators, judges, and clergy.
Everybody knows the typical human infant pursues necessary goodness. Perhaps one in 10 billion budding students discovers necessary goodness and pursues it in resilient humility. The others need guidance to discover their natural desire to behave – to choose goodness at every opportunity. But guidance to necessary goodness is scarce. Since most of humankind does not embrace power, authority, and responsibility to necessary goodness, the student has little chance.
Between now and the first of school, every education department may reform from disciplining students. Educators may discover and practicing good behavior, in order to encourage and facilitate both students and their parents to goodness. Informed parents and students may and can accept the power, authority, and responsibility to choose good behavior.
People may act good in order to be good – for their own life.
Updated on July 18 for more clarity.

At the park this morning, reflecting on Psalm 82, Orthodox Jewish Bible's suggestion -- humble citizens are elohim facing death, I perceived wellness in the thought: Cynthia (d. May 17, 2025) remains a goddess. Joyfully to me, Holly, Stephen (d. July 21, 1991), and Rebekah, express our offspring; Yeshua, the Bible's advocate for necessary goodness, is and always was my Lord; and it is no burden to me that other civic citizens pursue their personal Lords, such as Cynthia's Jesus-and-God-the-same-entity.

I think both Genesis 1:26-28,31 (OJB) and the United States Constitution advocate civic citizenship to the world.

I think civic citizens PRACTICE goodness, in humility to The God -- whatever constrains human choice; AID civil citizens to establish and maintain statutory justice; ENCOURAGE and facilitate dependent citizens to reform; HELP constrain criminals; and SUPPORT annihilating evils.

This week, I continue learning from a happening -- a stroke my body overcame in 20 minutes on 6/24/25: In my ninth decade, I continue deep research to pursue personal opinion and should not, will not choose to stop.

From experience, I think opinion can only approach rather than reach the ineluctable truth; to believe my opinion terminates improvement. Whenever I perceive unavoidable, unchangeable, and irresistible evidence, I want to share with another person/group, in order to learn from their perceptions. I hope to learn from them a viewpoint I should consider. But talk is not possible if the other person does not comprehend the object of consideration – a mutual Catch 22.

During 6/24-6/26 hospitalization, after a stroke my body made minor on the MRI scan, I learned that if I condense complex opinion before speaking, typical listeners understand and their response may be something I need to consider.

For example, the way things are, contemporary debate obscures what could be known; humankind may and can reform. Let me illustrate: The Israel-Arab wars that enslave humankind cannot be resolved in contemporary considerations, such as 1948 United Nations settlement, because war-politics originated earlier than 5500 year-old traditions about mysteries. Then, in Mesopotamia, a people with an isolated language, Sumerian, invented both writing and the political philosophy that on earth, humankind — woman and man -- is in charge of order, even to polytheistic politics (Genesis 1:26-28, 31, Orthodox Jewish Bible). In other words, The-God-in-charge-of-everything, whatever it is, holds humankind responsible on earth. But divisive groups pursue their Doctrinal God the group hopes will overthrow The God – usurp human responsibility to order life on earth.

Sumerians co-existed with families of competing cultures, including 1) Afro-Asiatics, such as Egyptians; and Semites, both Jewish and Arab and 2) Indo-Europeans, such as Iranians and Greeks. Five modern cultures – Israeli, Arab, Greek, Iranian, and Egyptian -- are among the hundreds of civilizations that are mysteriously represented in ancient literature. Sumerians thought race has no impact on human being, the practice.

Humankind may and can reform, so as to accept the statistical variations, like hair, eye, and skin color, that the laws of physics impose on life on earth. Education institutions may and can reform, in order to teach youth, adolescents, and adults to personally comprehend, intend, and practice necessary goodness. Thereby, to preserve their unique person; to personally approach human being (the practice) before death arrives. Other than female and male, The God does not divide humans: both blondes and brunettes may and can collaborate and pursue necessary goodness.

My challenge to listening is: To trust both 1) the audience’s understanding of my condensed message and 2) trust any response they offer. In this case, my condensed message is: every person may and can pursue necessary goodness, despite perceptions. What is your response to the condensation?

I think presentation of my approach to precision and accuracy is necessary, and I should continue sharing in depth. Do you agree/disagree and why?

June 15

If we pray to The God -- whatever constrains the consequences of human choice, to take responsibility for the war between Iran and Israel, we are vainly attempting to convince The God, the master of the universe to usurp humankind, the assigned-master of the earth -- according to both Genesis 1:26-28 (either Orthodox Jewish Bible, KJV, or NIV) and the laws of physics.

So far, humankind asks The God, "How can we effect order on earth?" I think we must accept Genesis 1:26-28 and physics: constrain chaos in our personal way of living, share with fellow persons our view of necessary goodness, and listen for any suggestions we should adopt to improve personal practices.

Like Yeshua says (Matthew 5:48, CJB), we may and can choose to pursue perfect practices, in the image of The God.

I expressed these ideas this morning, in the church and Sunday school I support.

Again on June 29; Reform is possible.
Intentional persons humbly choose necessary goodness in their living.
a. Accept responsibility.
b. Practice civic harmlessness.
c. Pursue civil blamelessness.
d. Disallow evil.

Cynthia (my wonderful friend and wife) passed away on May 17 after 5 years’ 24-7-365 attention from our youngest, Rebekah, with aid from 50-hr/week-employed Holly plus me and Cynthia’s sister, Mint.

I was in abject, infusive sorrow over the loss of Cynthia, a serenely confident woman I met in 1967. But yesterday, June 6, I read, “I prefer to celebrate the amazing fact of my existence, and my conscious awareness of it, rather than bemoan its temporary status.”*

Happily, I left the privacy of my reading to announce to Cynthia’s daughters, our daughters, “I’m going to celebrate our life with ineluctable Cynthia by not bemoaning her relief from suffering progressive supra-nuclear palsy, PSP**.”

Thank you, Mr. McNamara.

Dear Mr. President:

      I want to share an opinion with you, who cherish good behavior.

      In the distant past, there was only energy and necessary goodness, both of which could be neither created nor destroyed – only discovered.

      Then, 13.8 billion years ago, our universe appeared, as energy converting to mass at the speed of light.

      Only 200 thousand years ago, everything that had happened accommodated a species, Homo sapiens, who are capable of discovering necessary goodness on earth.

        By 5500 years ago, a civilization, Sumer, assumed that mysteries held humankind responsible to goodness. Nevertheless, they fearfully maintained a city-state-patron-mystery to protect them in war.  

      About 3900 years ago, scribes recorded the political philosophy, in Genesis 1:26-28, 31: only female and male Homo sapiens may and can choose good behavior on earth. However, no civilization since Sumer accepted the power, the authority, and the responsibility to discover and practice necessary goodness.

      For favor, elites perceived that their doctrinal mysteries required them to burn blood and meat from killing fellow citizens. A group thought no man owned another, so they left that land to establish mystery-bargaining by killing animal or fowl for blood-sacrifice. Competitive cultures mystify the same costly debates.

      A faction codified laws and celebrations including the specifics of blood-sacrifice and obedience to Elohim/G-d. They divided into tribes, depending on claims to obedience/none. A prophet predicted a future king, the messiah, would unite the tribes in peace.

      A person, Yeshua, was born 2000 years ago in Nazareth. He advocated necessary goodness to individuals and to crowds. Fellow Jews influenced civil authorities to execute him.

        Afterwards, ancient fake news projected Yeshua’s life onto Jewish literature. Fake news competitively constructed each of: The Blood of Christ, Jesus, The Trinity, Yeshua the Messiah and 4000 variants. There are churches founded on arguments by Peter, Paul, James, John, Matthew, and others but none on Yeshua’s influence.

      The time has come for humankind to regard necessary goodness and pursue good behavior rather than mystery-comfort.

Only you, Sir, can initiate if not effect global change from religious comfort to good behavior.

Sincerely,

Phil Beaver

P.S.

Imagine a revised First Amendment:  “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of necessary goodness, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Dear Mr. President:

      Unhappily, nations enslave themselves to deny 5500 year-old Middle Eastern discovery: humankind is responsible to physically and psychologically order life on earth. I think division may and can be relieved if not resolved during your presidency.

Sumerians coexisted in ancient Mesopotamia, a global trading-crossroad. Primitive Sumerians competed with Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and Proto-Indo-European-speaking people (including Iranians and Greeks).

About 4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to escape oppression. A faction, struggling for a homeland, facilitated divisive matriarchs, Semitic Sarah and Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar begot the Arabs. In Genesis 16, Israel damned the Arabs.

As an advocate for the claim that it is good that humankind is responsible to order life on earth (Genesis 1:26-28 and 31), I think Israel could and should denounce Genesis-16-damnation against Hagar’s descendants.

The scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C., reported in Anders Corr’s “Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024, Epoch Times, pale before the ancient Genesis 16 offense against Arabs. Reforming this 3700 year-old error would facilitate Arab-states’ appreciation to Israel and to Judeo-Christianity.

I think the United Nations, so far, overlooks the need for a Palestinian Nation, carved-out from the Arab league rather than from Israel.

Current media interests are too shallow to uncover the potential to focus on Genesis 1’s commission to humankind:  Pursue necessary goodness to life on earth.

Thank you, Sir, for taking that mantel. Please aid Judeo-Christianity to join your work.

Sincerely,

Phil Beaver

Dear Mr. President:

Homo sapiens think in words, phonics, and grammar – language passed down through the generations. To pursue comprehension of opinions held in today’s Middle East requires appreciation of history’s impact on individual and cultural evolution during the recent 5500 years.

Sumerian-speaking people invented writing in a distinct-language or isolate. Together, their inventions to convert from agrarian to urban living, their law codes, and their war-treaties suggest that polytheistic mysteries admit that humankind is responsible to order the earth.

Coexisting with others in ancient Mesopotamia, a global trading-crossroad, were Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and Proto-Indo-European speakers. Surviving cultures include Arabic, Hebrew, Egyptian, Iranian, and Greek.

About 4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to escape oppression. A faction, struggling for a homeland, featured two matriarchs, Semitic Sarah and Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar begot the Arabs. In Genesis 16, Israel damns the Arabs.

As an advocate for the Genesis 1:26-28 and 31 claim that it is good that humankind is responsible for order on earth, I think Israel can denounce Genesis 16 claims against Hagar’s descendants.

The scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C., reported in Anders Corr’s “Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024, Epoch Times, pale before the Genesis 16 offense against Arabs. Reforming this 3700 year-old error would facilitate Arab-states’ appreciation to Israel and to Judeo-Christianity.
