Vertical Philosophy: The unnecessary evil!
Limited and harming power flows through barrel of gun.
Poisons every thing it touches. Because it is based on ego, ignorance and hatred.
Update: 1.2.1 on
This is a compilation of points as felt in the hearts of people present and past. It is an attempt to understand the world in a simple manner with least number of concepts. We welcome healthy point-wise discussion as it helps our collective understanding. As such this always remains an open ended evolving work in progress.
- Limited and harming power flows through barrel of gun.
- Based on hierarchy: Big small, powerful weak etc.
- Based on hate and discrimination.
- Is like ignorance and darkness which has no beginning but has end.
- Has great bandwidth. It concerns many things.
- Does not even listen to the people. Information flow is one way. Weak is forced to listen and be conditioned by what the powerful/oppressor says.
- Based on force, from soft coercion to brutal subjugation.
- Perpetuating collusion of most unfortunate historical avalanches to become an all destructive juggernaut.
- A Frankenstein, created by dark side of few humans and destroying all humanity.
- Minority has all the controls to exercise over majority.
- Masquerades (falsely acts) as welfare.
- Based on greed, ignorance, lust, avarice, hate, sadism and what not!
- Restricts the flow of information. Few countries (itself a vertical concept!) even tried to block the Internet!
- Deliberately poisons the minds with misinformation. Like government controlled mass media inciting people of neighbouring countries to fight with the people of other countries in the name of discriminatory and illusory nationalism.
- Based on accumulation principle.
- People caught in the compulsive vertical web lose their sentiments and sensitivity.
- They can not even communicate, they speak only one way with full conviction that material amassment is the only way to live life and if at all any good can be done to the society or to oneself, it is possible only through too much material amassing.
- Based on pleasure principle.
- Based on devil quoting the scriptures! But not flowing with the underlying spirituality.
- Based on compulsions rather than free volition.
- Sets people against each other in small or big explicit or covert struggles such as:
- Bargaining in the market.
- Academic competition for college entrance or job.
- Killing each other in the so called "patriotic" and "holy" wars.
- Divides any two persons how so ever close they are. Causes suspicion, threat, jealousy and destructive aimless competition which creates insurmountable gulf between close people, like parents-children, siblings and even friends!
- It is insensitive being greed based so it has caused life threatening degradation of biosphere/environment.
- Stone was succeeded by arrow, then came bullet and now money does the job better as an instrument of oppression. Today money is bullet!
- People sadly die for money and they also die by money.
- Weapons, money and environmental damage go hand in hand.
- Paradoxically, weapons are for peace.
- Scriptures of the world describe vertical in totality with each detail. See for example chapter 16 of Bhagavad-Gita. We welcome contributions with references of other scriptures of the world.
- Based on complete disregard to wisdom/spirit of scriptures of the world.
- Based on money/material as the ONLY concern.
- Based on demand rather than the real genuine needs. So it mercilessly ignores the hungry and pleases the one who has purchasing power. The food that is wasted in affluent countries is sufficient to feed an astonishingly large number of people who die of starvation.
- Based on a market which is devoid of sentiments!
- Market reducing human beings to mere economic beings as investors and consumers.
- Humanity drowning into insensitive market driven sea of consumerism.
- It is not civilization but the lack of it.
- Un-necessary, undesirable, unnatural and forced evil.
- Abuse of science & technology for greed, violence and self destruction.
- The list is endless, but fortunately it can be and will be brought to blissful end by humans through horizontal paradigms/efforts uniting individual sparks of love!
- Government divides people to rule through money.
