The Crucible

The civilization of modern mankind has been menaced by barbarous materialism, and has steer it towards the eclipse of civilization. Knowledge without virtues is a dangerous phenomenon for Utopia. For only when virtues are cultivated, may knowledge be refined into wisdom. Evil play of wit and deception is no desirable knowledge. Wit without benevolence may only place Humanity under the lulling siren of demagoguery, where witless subjects live in foolish obscurantism.

Without the elevation of human logic and emotions, there can be no true civilization. I have a dream that the superior world will have her Geneva Conventions filled with men of less richly-dressed apparel, and more refinedly-fashioned brains. We have to build schools of virtues to sincerely refine in character and methodologies, the main aim is to evolve everyone and revolve the world. We are not politicians, we are physicians. We strived to cover all areas and walks of life, endeavoring to set up an expert system to work on multifaceted research from technology to anthropology, to delve for factors and derive panaceas that would lead to true civilization, as a preparatory stage to influence international institutions to work towards an Utopia disparate from the pandemonium it is today. As a Chinese saying, the forefathers plant the tree, the offspring take the shade (前人栽树, 后人乘凉).

We sincerely believe that human are unlike insects, they should not specialize. By working to evolve our mind (i.e. mentation, mentality and brain), we strive towards being jacks of all trades, and masters of at least one.

Think synergy, believe in the seemingly impossible, believe in the “so-called miracles”, for when we witness them, they are more obvious than we think. The universe is greater than we think, the possibilities is wilder and unthinkable than our constricted minds can hold.

What gives you the right to overwrite equality and humanity? If power distance display a power display that there is little or no regard for the making you feel bad or even suggest abusive belittling, dismissive dialogues or any form of indirect or direct intimidation, we can forget about building an society of equality, humanity, justice and virtues seeking.

By moral courage and mettle, have no interest in what they hold to threaten your survivability, instead strive for transcendence. Have nothing to hold you down. You will have no moral vulnerability.

By moral integrity, understand that the issue is pervasive and anthropological, it is not constrain to any creed, nor is it unique to any state. Seek core principles and concretize the foundations. Act with vigilant consistency. The corruptibility is not on any particular leaders, it is a disease on each and every humankind. We have to start within ourselves. Success has no countenance nor clemency for those who does not understand this.

By moral ability, seek to understand before being understood. Seek to organize your thoughts, before organizing people. Only one who can conquer himself, extirpate his ills, can he then fathom this ancient conundrum of such anthropological epidemic. Study the anthropological architecture, unravel the science behind the mechanics of every geometrical dynamics of the system. When the joints are identified, stage the juncture and steer human kismet.

Integrity must be protected. It must be armored and obscure with wit and strategy. It must be bold, yet unfathomable to remain unexploitable and invulnerable. Without righteousness, there is no civilization. If there is no will to act to work humanity forward, all generations will have to endure injustice. Human are too willing to wait, and too cowardly to act. The excuse that it will take time, hides a cowardly intent of decided procrastination that they will never act.

I was wrong that the most attractive thing a person could have is his/her talent, it is also his/her virtues, such as the moral courage s/he holds in his/her mien which is expressible as a charisma. With the amalgamation of moral virtues and the gathering of righteous and benevolent men of the same virtues, human civilization will then truly dawn.

Virtues is a lamp within everyone. Once they are lit together, it can form the constellations. Lit up that destiny. You are born for a reason.

Virtue is the ground for the courage and morale. - 2005-10.15It is a cardinal sin when authority of any form, whether institutions, religions, parents, teachers, etc, teaches people to `feel good` rather than to think well and to do right and just. - 2015-03.15I realize how easy it is to forget one's mission when the devil is singing. - 2003-03.04Only when a man can truly let go of himself, that he will discover something greater than himself. - Re: Operation Amphipneust, 2005-12.24If he thinks survival, he merely allows his paranoia to endanger himself further. - Re: Operation Amphipneust, 2005-12.24Virtues and intelligence should be part of our daily mental diet. - 2011-12.15Les Miserables depicts a parable that salvation can be obtained by giving it to others first. - 2021-09.11
