Lines in the development of civilized man
Civilization develops gradually and along several lines. This is:
- A responsibility:
I understand the need for agreements, I fulfill agreements, follow the rules in life and relationships, I do this without fail, even when it is not beneficial for me. The ability to understand the need for agreements, to fulfill agreements and do it consistently, the ability to negotiate are the main qualities that make a person civilized.
- Competence:
I know how to negotiate, I care about the interests of all interested parties and think about the prospects. See Perceptual Positions
- Sanity:
I am not overwhelmed by emotions. Most of the time I behave consciously (I see what I am doing, I hear what I am saying), I am adequate to the situation, I can control myself and be responsible for my words and actions.
