Athletes. yes some people get intimidated by hearing that but the reality is, athletes do what we do as babies. Try to functionalize their bodies. So , whatever other´s try to put on it, its the politics of it, or the strength of it (which as Nietzche describes, in Christian societies is looked down upon, one should meek). the fundamentals fo athelticism are natural and heatly and good. It is I repeat, what we do as babaies. WE push limits. WE ssek to put forht our little grain of imoritance , becasue it seems necesary to learn to walk, to et to talk. So striviing is not a bad thing. -it does not take away from otheres. That is when the concept of zero sum game comes into place.
What is zero sum game theory? The basis of it is how we perceive our universe. Or more specifically our natural world. Do we think things will get used up and so we have to hurry and get some? Soemhow we oftentimes conceive th tther is enough for all. So what is the difference between making sure we push the limit to acheive a certain physical abilty and functionality, in the world, and when is it greed?
Athletes are peopel whose premise is that they must focus in order to achieve a physical finish in the material world. Entreing into this zone, garnering the movement. Then bringing the movement into a reality taht menas something to other people. That is often elegant and magical. Combine that to mean that a point is a win. Then we can get into what winning means and what does it mean within a zero sum game framework and one that is not.....Everything is a game. It is how we perceive the boundaries of the game. is it a set? or a match? is it a tournament or one game? This comes into play in the real discussion of politics and human behavior.
Why is maing a poin timportnat? poiunts are like money, they really don´t mean anything except they mean eveyrhtig, htey mean you made it. With whatever you have within you. But that magic behind that, that is what we are as human beings. WE are always going for a win. Or maybe we are just playing recreationally. But we are ever present, ever measuring ourselves, according to a win. It´s something competitive and magical . an dit happens in nature.
And it has to do with Beauty.
EArnign your bread and butter is not enough inthti slife. It´s liek it seems like htat. It seems liek acording to the US and how it had promoted to the whole world its ability to ffed its peoepl, give jobs etc. we realize that there is soemthign lacking...beuty. Real lasting beuaty no t superifdcuial ephemerla one which isn´t actually such, it is ugliness.
Howver societies who for the sake of bauety and cultre don´t allwo for the openness necessary forll to feed htemselves for all to be educated, then that is wehre the concept of inverse beauty comes in.
This concept was taught by Christ. Make the ugly beautiful.
However we cannot End on that note. nature doesn´ty endont ha note,. it ends competigive, functinal adn beatuiful ( as in lasting). in fact, the nature of the Christian movement is to connect, to transition, to change. So in and of itself it si not amovemetn tha tEnds. It is aprallelmovement to movements tha tdo End, such as Judaic and Muslim revelations. Their basis in prophethood and God as separtae from man crete clera realtionships adn circles which allow for clear finishes. In Christianity, the vaguenss fothe concept of mand and God create confusion and thuis end on the famou note of irraionality . Thus, it si infintie and unable to finish. It is meant to inspire but not to settle. It is meant to push but not to finish. In Christianity, one is always waiting, waiting for a finish. Waiting for a return , for a judgement. Because humans cannot live as Christ said to only, without ever judigng and aways turning the other cheek. However, the lessons are very important .
So what is the necsarry lessons we must learn to create a society with these two qualities. We must identify the belief systems that created these soceities. We are doing that now as we speak as a humanity. Egypt is appraising its system and how it functions vis a vis the world. So is the US. MExico is constnatly udneroging this battle as it si a colony of Euroopands on new land called AEMricad htose peoepl freom America are trying to integrate quickly their beleif systems into the world order.
Nonetheles, the absolute imporsition onAmerica of European values is our of control. WE msut return to the point of interaction adn salvage some of hte native beleif systems. Why? Becasue ti s the right thing to do. Becasuethe arrognce with which teh Europeans came is no longer par tof the premise we ened to live wiht onthis continet or on any other. we have discussed European influence on India by seeignhow Ghandi spoke out agiasnt the British there, -we have seen how weoppose apartheid in AFirca . Andyet we have to still discuss the tnire American contintet.
