More Thoughts on Soverienty

Now, I think this is an important subject, and one that
requires a good deal of thought.  For example it
should be clear that as far as exercising loyalty, these
spaces occur in various ways and various levels and
so you can immediately see that there is a great deal
of complexity involved.   A common issue exists
between say a " nationality " , meaning allegiance to
a particular national region and ideology that might then
be confused with a more physical kind of reality. 
That might mean that what you view as an
allegiance to a nation in geography might be
more of an allegiance or connection to some ideology,
for example democracy or something like that.  
So you can see it's  not really that easy to sort out, if you
spend time to consider it.  You might view it as
highly multi-dimensional.

If you consider further all the other levels to which we
might have allegiance, well then it becomes really
, hard , to rap your head around.

Now this is the perfect application of a moral compass.

Some might view the moral compass as a filter, which
distinguishes good and bad.  I view it as something
a little more immediate, as " what do I do next ".
So therefore, I suggest that it must be an instrument
that is always being tuned, improved or enhanced,
because, when you have to decide between two paths,
in the " heat of the moment ", you want to at least
try and get your best foot forward,  knowing even
that sometimes it's not going to be enough and so often we
recognize, and it it clearly important that we do
recognize, by self-reflection, how and why we can
or do fall short.

And everyone always is involved with this.

So then it should be clear that this moral compass
is a process or maybe multiple processes that are
continually being refined and finally that this is
most likely the only way we can properly navigate
these issues of loyalty and allegiances which are
clearly, such an important, structural part of social
and cultural fabric.
