Domestica as a concept and why
15 August 2023 12:14 pmRecently I’ve noticed online a surge of people (maily debaters and discourse participants) who are oddly willing to dismiss small scale human emotional and psychological wellbeing in favor of large scale greater good schemes and generalized criticism.
This made me think to myself, how could someone posibbly care for the majority of humanity yet constantly be horrible to others and actively not care about a few people’s wellbeing. From the way I see it, rather than actually wanting to help others, people have been using ideologies and groups as a way to disguise their own personal flaws and excuse horrible behavior, that is why I call for something else.
An ideology that prioritizes emotional and psychological wellbeing both for the self as well as others around us. Something that is considerate and noviolent while being practical and not a pushover. Something that recognizes our domestic tendancy. Something that ebraces our nature without putting others in danger.
We are domesticated animals, we are soft finikey creatures by nature and emotion is what drives us. So it’s likely that we can’t fix society unless we care for the people first. It’s time we start ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING and tend to that nature, both for our selves, and for others.
Relentless insults and harm does nothing useful for us anyways. We need to find better solutions to problems without making a mess of the domino effect. We need to be effective, not waste our time being childish.
At the end of the day, actions are always louder than words.
