Differences in Personalism: Is their a difference between East and West?

Thoughts here are a reflection of this article: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/personalism/

As I hypothesized, their is no difference or rather similar ideas, yet no difference in the grad scheme of things.

Yes, we are the center of our universe. Personalism, can help explain many struggles we all have in interpreting our world. My favorite saying as a teacher world wide was, “act local, think global.” In other words, take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Yes, this is very simplistic and can be misinterpreted. In no way is this selfish, but a need for one to realize their worth to society so that they can see everyone’s worth.

When I speak of society I speak of a global all encompassing society where some get it, and some don’t. Some can sleep at night, others cannot. When discussion personalism we all know what is right and what is wrong. We are bombarded with violence all day and still get the reaction and ratings of violence is bad deep down in most people.

We spend a lot of time explaining how we all should live, or all strive to be good and live a good life. Although, we all know the rage some people feel when they feel like they are getting the short end of the stick or are disadvantaged. How can some individuals treat others equally when socioeconomically are getting divided and separated. As a teacher we know these realities and see them daily.

What does it take? Life is not a revolving door some mistakes or choices can really hurt any chances at a good life. So, equal treatment and the dismantling of the capitalist system is need. Will it happen? Probably not. In trade, you have one winner and one loser. Whenever one feels like they lost in a transaction they can get angry and not want to treat another with dignity. It quite simple if you ask me?

For example, if you have ever traded in a car you will understand what I am saying? Without getting into details, when I signed an extremely under valued bid, the salesman felt bad and asked if I got the GAP insurance. Well, in my mind I was like and let them know this cannot go on for too much longer. So, in my point making life which comes at a big cost, I feel good when the underdogs take it to the streets in the West.

I respect police and do not want to see anyone hurt but the gouging that happens in the West everyday and treating of peoples in undignified manner really makes it hard to feel for anyone.

As a result, personalism is good but can also become horrific such as in the Neeichean SUPERMAN. So, everyone needs their own personal ying and yang and balance. Yes, it is vague but it survives the times to each personal situation, thus, easier to understand than the academic jargon. Maybe a less jargoned approach is needed to reach the masses who can use this wisdom.
