When we are treated as less, marginalized, disenfranchised, are we fighting for the simple recognition as the son of man?


Son of Man

The rendering for the Hebrew "ben adam," applied to mankind in general, as opposed to and distinct from non-human relationship; expressing also the larger, unlimited implications of humanity as differentiated from limited (e.g., national) forms and aspects of human life.

Yes but we all are really good at it as well. 2.9 billion to 7.5 billion in my life time is reality itself completely marginalised. I think there will be a revolt right there.

Ok... That didn't really answer my question.

I mean, thats great that you chose to have professions and activities to help others. What does that suggest for others that have not?

I can almost hear the thought behind your post, what I find more interesting is that we let ourselves believe that we are less, then we create our own struggle so that we can believe in ourselves, again. I think it becomes a problem when we look for those that taught us to feel less, instead of rejoicing in what we've are.

honor thy father and mother would be an example of less; if self isn't aware that honor works both ways.

those who are not aware of the golden rule, or willfully ignore it, will use any means to rule over others in service to self.

The key, for me, is found in the words "if the self isn't aware", whose fault is that, none other than the self its self, or the self's master.
