On the trail in search of soverienty
I do not think that this issue can be dismissed lightly,
or fully addressed briefly. Simply I feel it is a
subject on which everyone needs to consider or think about
in a deep and serious way. I say this mostly because I
believe that sovereignty begins with the individual and
therefore the issue of sovereignty is connected to knowledge
of self, which is always of serious importance. And in addition
I feel that it ties back to previous post concerning economics
and behavior, as I suggested then and related to virtue.
Now others may view this issue differently, for example, the
perspective that sovereignty, say originates from God, aka
the Supreme Being. Now that may be a legitimate perspective,
but it's very much like the issue of up and down, say
per general relativity. Ultimately the change of coordinates
makes no difference, to what is going on at any particular point.
Another legitimate issue of course particularly as concerns
such events as the following: cop23 , which suggests the
question, that if a country is sovereign , then what about the
earth? Then if the earth is considered sovereign, then how does
that relate to that relationship between individual nations and
the sovereignty of the earth itself.
But to consider this from other perspectives I would suggest the
following as it concerns a non-theistic perspective - Buryats
Siberian / Tibetan Buddhists. I have not drawn any hard
and fast conclusions based on this group, but it certainly
presents us with an interesting perspective.
But I will continue on this subject as time and my evolving
view , develops.
