Through the grand journey of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment in life we can learn an eminent level of righteousness and integrity, to serve to uplift mankind, and to earn one’s place among those of us immortalized for
their achievements and legendary deeds. Since we know what place in society we must achieve, we can then establish through which channel we can achieve this, and once we have knowledge of what that channel is, we can proceed to cultivate it with a graciousness and a state of mind in which tranquility permeates one’s being. Having achieved this peaceful and collected state of mind, one can rationally think what needs to be done to work through goals, and to cultivate the channel that will lead to one’s immortalization in both in the present as well as the future.
In life, everything has an origin and from this origin expands the purpose of that thing. Everything also has a start and a finish. In order for the journey to be known, one must examine what exactly needs to be done to “start” and what needs to be done to “finish”. Those who philosophize and want to guide us into excellence must first cultivate themselves to some perceived level of perfection in order to lead by example. Through this example these people helped cultivate the intellectual and spiritual well being of their own families. It was only after they managed to cultivate their families could they be at the forefront when it came to cultivating their nations. In order for all of this to come to fruition, first they had to change who they were from the inside. In order to change who they were from the inside, they must change their mindset and how they choose to perceive reality, situations and so forth. In order to change their mindset, they had to educate themselves and cultivate their knowledge. To accumulate knowledge would mean to go out and explore the world, to inquire as to why things are the way they are.
Once these things were successfully inquired upon, the knowledge needed for the mindset change was accumulated. This change on the inside was completed once their mindset change was complete, and subsequently their being and their character had been improved upon. Since their being was improved, they could proceed to run the country properly. When the country was run properly, the satisfaction of the people was so high that there was everlasting peace. Everything must be cultivated from the top down, be it all the way from the almighty down to his sheeple. It’s illogical and naïve to think that if the origin of something is rotten, that what will come of it will turn out alright. It’s illogical to think that which is rotten can simultaneously be golden and pure.
