Description
Our all too human situation in this 21st century demonstrates that: PSYCHOLOGICALLY, we have not yet matured out of preprogrammed ape instincts and our impulsive adolescent emotions despite our intelligence.
SOCIOLOGICALLY, we are still constrained with medieval institutions slowing down our political evolution.
INTELLECTUALLY we insist on believing that our illusions about reality is the utmost truth-no matter how batty these might be. And this in spite of using science and its technological applications-the only provable reality we discover as is on a continually and ever improving basis.
ATTITUDINALLY we think and behave like pissed-off individuals and groups hell-bent on getting even for, both, real and imaginary grievances.
TECHNOLOGICALLY, we use every aspect of our ever-advancing knowledge whether ethically supported or not-behaving within our secular world in the role we assigned to our mythical entities, often our gods.
ETHICALLY, we function as if billions of conscious people were not suffering or in pain or in fear of being rendered homeless or being enslaved in multiple ways or killed by our unforgiving social dogmas or live on the edge of starvation.
TRIBALLY, we rejoice in genocides and wars whenever we conclude that these will strengthen our group-be it a nation, an ethnicity, a language, a religion, or some other belief system-if it reinforces us exclusively as a specific Community of Interests and Benefits.
RITUALLY, we naturally find comfort in repeated ceremonies, formalities, celebrations, festivities, observances, customs, protocols, traditions, and all other similar activities, suggesting us that ache to belong to, and identifying with, a group: especially a worthwhile one- acting as one monolithic entity - identified in this essay and others as a Community of Interests and Benefits.
EMOTIONALLY, we vibrate with the pulses of life, impulses of our biology, and rhythms of our intellect, in a search for knowledge, the joys of life and self-awareness, and the search for the purpose of our existence. And yet:
EXISTENTIALLY, our behavior has accepted and adopted the insane and unethical barbaric modus operandi and attitude of the 'Intellectual Disease of Self-Righteousness' along with its biases and prejudices presently integrated in multiple dogmas of our cultures-even among those considering themselves as above all that.

Author:
Bourdeau, Jean Ovide
Jean Ovide Bourdeau is a self-described average Canadian, who, close to retirement from what he calls an enjoyable but most ordinary career in human resources, decided to try to understand an issue that had bothered him all of his life: gratuitous and self-righteous violence. More specifically he wished to comprehend the rationalization of that violence in the mind of perpetrators, beginning with the routine kind heaped on battered women and exploited children nearly everywhere on earth-among others.
This eventually led him to identify what he now calls an historical legacy of terror and malfeasance that makes it normal to commit genocide and go to war. During this process he noted that human history, major belief systems, cultural taboos and mores, etc. were imbued with an arrogant and compulsive self-righteousness that transformed itself into cowardly and callous acts; based on a form of immutable "Immaculate Perception. That this process seems to be supported by both the State and its main agent in support of its principal belief system-regardless of where you look in the course of recorded human history. A reality promoting an unquestionable "Absolute Obedience to State and Church (and/or Academia in more advanced political groups) as the highest good-elevating this notion as a social and psychological sacrament of behavior.
Above all, this essay is an attempt to make some sense of a world seemingly bent on its self-destruction, while in the midst of so many opportunities there for the taking; that could otherwise help us pursue our happiness and live our bliss.
Born in Montreal, the author now lives in a small village on the Quebec-Ontario provincial border in Canada.
