The Searcher Who Wants to Give

People who are inherently against the existence of classes wants, in practice and final result, people to stay mediocre in relation to who they can become (not in relation to others) all their lives. They want to hold people back from achieving their full potential and from cultivating life. There are people who do bad things within all classes just like there are people who do bad things within all races.

To say that class mustn’t exist is to say that society at large isn’t allowed to have any kind of common sense of what is beauty.

Class, in its most basic nature, I believe arises because people seek to refine and ennoble their life and their living conditions. And there is nothing wrong with this.

And when one does that, of course one wants to surround oneself with what matches one’s aspirations and ideals, whether it’s with people or with things. (It also here becomes natural to dislike that which doesn’t reach or correlate to one’s aspirations and ideals. This is not a predominant factor of class but of general life and humanity.) And there is nothing wrong with this either.

And there you have the most basic meaning of class, to me.

But then of course, class is and has been used in malicious ways, like many other things that can be used for bad just like they can be used for good. Its value lies in how you use it. And I can think of ways how people of all classes can use the existence of class and the class they fall into for bad purposes.^💡

But this doesn’t make class in and of itself bad. I am life-centered. And dynamic is a natural part of life. And to me, class is a natural part of that dynamic (as a basic principle).

There is a saying I once heard which goes something like this; your own ice cream will melt if you’re busy looking at that of someone else’s. The ice cream can here represent many things, such as your life, dedication, determination, joy and contentment.

Of course, the existence of class can create challenges in society.

But these challenges needs to be mended, addressed and negotiated within their own rights, and not be used to obliterate the mere existence of class altogether.

Because then even greater challenges arise and there becomes little to no point to even solve challenges, as their underlying reason, purpose and solution fades away (by reason of all that has been mentioned).

^💡 (For example, lower-class people can lean excessively upon welfare and not make their own living when they are able to and have the means.

Middle-class or working class people can look down upon the existence of class so much that they hold back people of all classes, and they can cultivate a mindset of envy and jealousy which becomes their own detriment.

And upper-class people can look at people of lower classes with disgust purely for the sake of being in lower classes. But this I believe is the least harmful of the things mentioned, because it doesn’t in itself prevent other people from improving their lives if it means or is done within the framework of minding one’s own business. Which I actually find the least favorable of all upper-class people I’ve met to actually do.

Sometimes the hinders and obstacles we encounter are all within our heads and created by ourselves. And looking at disgust at people merely because they belong to a particular class; or overlooking and excusing one’s own bad actions because one belongs to a particular class (and thereby is believed to have the moral high ground), is something that all classes can do; and I also find that they do.

So even though upper-class people are often portrayed as the greatest nemesis of society and societal progress, in all honesty I find that perhaps truth can be something else.)

Take hold of your life, grasp its rudder and become your own alchemist! This is what I do, and I let no one hold me back. With all the ups and downs, it’s worth it. Know yourself, and you will know the world.
