Pragmatism And Diversity
unlocking entity potential with the help of varied information
Diversity seems to be an ascendant value, even in nations with restrictive immigration policies, therefore the ubiquitous nature of the value of Diversity leads to the question of why it would be ascendant in The World today.
Pragmatism is a philosophy based on looking at The World as it is, and asking the question: what is functionally appropriate for a situation? What must be done for success? The answer to the question is generally arrived at through a series of empirical observations, as well as looking at competently documented history and engaging in logical analysis, to arrive at a solution.
The technique of Pragmatism has no ethnic or cultural loyalties, in some ways it is a broad nothingness that is a mirror held up in reflection of the world. Pragmatism is elasticity. Flexibility and adaptive thinking is also a means by which people can unlock their potential. To do so they must see the world as it is, and accept themselves as who they are, and then within this framework work on becoming who they can become with the tools and techniques available to them.
Diversity of perspectives then can be considered paramount in the endeavor of fulfilling one’s potential in the area of the self-development one seeks, because diversity allows for a pragmatic flexibility in applying solutions for one’s situations or endeavors, and sometimes situations may require lateral thinking in addition to linear thinking. Consistency and gradual progress are keys to self-improvement.
Consistency is governed according to the principle of The Golden Mean, nothing in excess, do not do too much, nor do too little. Move bit by bit in increments towards your goal, whether it be Financial Freedom, restoration of Health Vitality, or Relational Success. Many cultures have established Systems of Physical Exercises for the purpose of attempting to enhance vitality to the body.
Vital Essence in its archaic definition is considered to be the circulation of blood within the body, and exercises involving motion, flexion, and posture all enhance blood circulation through the limbs and perhaps organs, which is the enhancing of Vital Essence, according to archaic principles, as well as according to hypothetical rubrics under Modern Science.
The Body should not be cultivated under the auspices of an ethnic tradition, rather it should be cultivated as a Human being where information is drawn from the earth and varied information from many people, this way one keeps an open mind and is not closed off to information that couple be important to one’s particular situation.
Qigong Exercises were developed in China for the purposes of body revitalization, however Western, Indian, African, Asian, and Latin American Physical Culture have important pieces to the puzzle as well, and the puzzle is body revitalization. It is important to not do too much exercise, exercise at Half Strength (Indian Philosophy).
