Emotional negligence

 In continuation of the previous post and a recent event happened to me personally warranted another reflection on the social normalisers that end up dividing the people more. One of the normaliser which is prevalent within any group of individuals, societies, civilisations is the faculty of rational and its practice as philosophy. As if we try to explain human behaviour, or zooming in on our mind, we will find the "reasoning-emotion" duality and sadly the science has tackled mostly the reasoning part of our mind because of apparent reasons; reasoning has an objective interface which we can extract, isolate, examine, experiment and even teach and instil. Also for the practical reasons, rational is the tool we have used to build our politico-economical structures. 

These structures have moulded our way of thinking, dealing with problems in a way that we tend to completely negate the emotional side of the issue. This approach works well within the businesses, corporates, to some extend in policy making but this fails miserably in the context of people level. Most of the problems on people level have mostly the emotional impetus than rational one and the proper solution can only come with factoring in the emotional side of it. 

This possesses another problem which is "impossibility" to understand the emotions as they are completely subjective and the only tool we have to express the emotions is the language (which will segue the whole discussion here if we open the inability of languages to completely express what we feel). Hence conversing becomes so important to understand the emotional side of the human beings. 

Human precondition,,,

Politically not enough, in the field of fiction, many have imagined to normalise the society. The idea is to establish a society with uncompromisable equality and opportunities given to every member of the society. Even in the limitless imagination, none was able to still imagine a society which will not divide it self. The reason is the precondition of our self actualisation. Hegel has described this condition eloquently in his mister servant dialect. Since it takes two to recognise one as one gets self awareness in the conscious of the other, the struggle to slave the other will be the inevitable consequence.

In the wake of this precondition, we see many divisors in the social structures; e.g. classes, financial stature. religion, politics, caste/creed/cult etc. Sadly the easy way out to normalise a society, it is always suggested to eradicate the dividers like classes, religion, money etc. This is such a self futile exercise because this just addresses the symptoms but not the cause. Removing these dividers will allow other narratives  to create the wall of "they versus us". I feel by accepting the nature of "human condition" we should thrive for creating a just society rather than employing all the energy in eradicating the dividers.
