Love the fact that you are addressing the most crucial facets, in terms of the human condition. My only humble suggestion, would be to shorten the text in terms of precision. I feel the passion you project in your text, and perhaps over time it will become even more precise and stronger. Kudos Amaterasu Solar.

Not sure what You mean, "shorten the text in terms of precision." Can You clarify? 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

Hi A.S. Since reading time is scarce, based on the general scarcity of time and attention, the onus is on us, the creators, to try harder, be concise and precise (as constructive feedback). Given that certain things, issues, topics, merit a lot of text. That much said, the more we read, absorb, the more we may write, express, narrate better. I am trying to do the same. Over time, we get better, stronger and more precise.

Well... At 67, having been reading and writing for nigh all that time (started reading at 3), I doubt I will be figuring out what I'm doing wrong... Examples might help, but... I write everything from the heart, and not sure how I could change My heart up... LOL!

In that case I stand corrected. But, may I say that age should not be a measure for striving for better. You are doing nothing "wrong". The subjects you choose to address are important and commonly reasonable (from the heart). Best to you...

I merely strive to communicate My heart. "Better?" What would that even be? LOL! Would love a specific that started You on Your suggestions here. Maybe that will enlighten Me...

Hi AM... as a specific example -

"That valuable thing is pride of workmanship............ To have great pride in the workmanship You offer. You will not do anything half-assed, to earn ridicule, scorn, and other socially diminished statuses."

This bit starts very well. However as a reader, I could not understand what is it that you wish to convey. While I can assume, correctly maybe, that you are saying - that we as individuals have little or no freedom, to choose and work on what we love (aspire to be). Or maybe much more?

When I had my business installing stereos, satellite systems and home theatres, my motto was “I reserve the right to refuse to perform half vast installations”.

Regarding psychopaths, are you familiar with Harrison Koehli?

He’s on substack.

Thank you Amaterasu! 💖

I share the Ethical Sovereign ethos as much as possible.

I teach private music lessons, I write and perform music, I write to help inspire discernment for healthful change, and I cook delicious nutritious plant-based meals! I do it all with great care. Well, that's how I live my life!

Oh, I surely would not say there is no One who takes pride in what They do, but the fact is that, whereas Most used to do so, today, most don't, and We see that result in planned obsolescence, and landfills.

Thank You so much for reading! I am enriched in Your payment of attention.

Permaculture is a guide to living a regenerative life; designing and living life using and respecting principles of ecology, design, ethics, community, and cultivating healthy relationships.

Permaculture is the concept of utilizing land, resources, people and the environment in a manner that doesn't produce any waste – and encourages the use of closed loop systems seen in nature. Closed loop systems, when speaking about the environment, refer to the ideal where nothing should be wasted.

Ethical abundance is how I see Paradise on Earth manifesting as a living reality.

While I appreciate the goals, I would not want anyOne with (made up) "authority" enFORCING anything. I do imagine that Most will choose the better ways, with the Betterment Ethic in place of the slave's creed...
