I recently came across the comparison of different external approaches to attempting to attain the understanding of human behaviour. One is widely accepted and used, which is derived from the past work of a German psychologist named Karl Stumpf, which related the observation of child behaviours with botany. In such an approach, Karl Stumpf related such behaviours with the stimuli and conditions offered by the environment in order to cultivate and nurture the development of children, in a similar way we assist the development of a flower in a garden, which implies the term kindergarten. As a consequence, the flowers become dependent on what the environment can offer to them, as they usually possess little or no experience for enhancing themselves on their own. One exception is the lotus flower, which emerges and develops its beauty from the mud. Other approaches, such as the one performed by Wolfgang KΓΆhler during World War I, related the development of children with zoology, and e.g., studying how apes react to a given stimulus and comparing how children react to a similar stimulus. The imitation, and therefore, the conditioning of behaviours gets quite well observed in experiments performed by the approaches relating human behaviours with the animal kingdom. Thus, it gets quite clear that when we start understanding the extension of human stupidity, we start understanding that although stupidity has no limits, obnoxious and disgusting behaviours do, and therefore, there’s nothing to be done when a line of obnoxious and disgusting behaviours gets trespassed. The moment we realise that, it’s the moment we understand we may have no control on the outside yet we’ve all control on either accepting or rejecting any type of obnoxious and disgusting behaviour someone may attempt to enforce towards us. If the majority of Jewish people had attained such a priceless understanding, they could have escaped from the awful outcomes of the Holocaust within Nazi Germany during World War II.


The expected, and probably the intended response to be observed when trespassing limits of obnoxious and disgusting behaviours is violence, which implies the justification for no justification provided through measures applied by someone who considers themselves a member of a superior race. That’s the manipulative and imitation game we need to learn both by looking into the past history and empirically observing, analysing, and understanding what happens in the present moment. Depending on the stage and scene of that game we’re in the middle of, silence is an important asset at hand we can use to unmask the true intentions of an obnoxious and disgusting behaviour before us. And it applies to both personal and professional situations, which implies the need to be prepared for dealing with dirty and deceptive moves with no honour observed. 


Let’s start cultivating and nurturing the beautiful light we’ve deep within, understanding why keeping consciousness at hand makes us developing beautiful flowers from harsh environments and unexpected situations in a similar way we observe the lotus flowers emerging from the mud, becoming a well-known symbol of our love nature, the Buddhism, and the unlimited positive energy emanated by Buddha, the enlightened one.
