Justice and friends – derailing from the topic but somewhat interesting

There is another big difference between the Savants* type and the Normal Person* type that particularly the Savants* must become aware of because there’s no real convincing of the Normal Person* that what I’m about to say about the Savants* is true. The Normal Person* believe that everyone has a self-interest first, and whatever they do to help another person MUST BE in their own self-interest. In other words, if you care for your family, it must be in your self-interest to do so: you’ll ensure a safe environment for yourself, divide tasks and live more productively etc.

Now, the Savants* take this a bit further. They believe that whatever benefits an individual is kinda good for everybody. Happier people create safer, more stable communities, and therefore it pays to keep everyone as happy as possible, regardless of personal connections to any given person.

the Normal Person* can’t really think at that level yet, as they see all good deeds as an attempt to groom them personally into a position of a friend, leader, or a collaborator; this is why the Normal Person* is a sucker for such things as customer gifts or freebies, even the kind of “free gifts” that you get for spending money. It’s all in the name, isn’t it? To the Normal Person*, everything is a direct transaction – you scratch my back and I scratch yours. To a Savants*, the equation is a little more complicated: We are all human, we are all living beings, if you are happier, you’ll make someone else happier, and then, they make someone happier, and eventually it all goes around and good things are paid forward and nobody REALLY needs to do a direct interaction between two specific people.

the Normal Person*, however, feel a certain panic about it. If they give something to someone, they need a reward straight away. They also need a reward from their own children, as they cannot see themselves as a caregiver to even their own children without expecting A CERTAIN, if not immediate, return for investment. An the Savants* parent creates a platform for their child to thrive from, they feel like a gardener; they may plant an apple tree, they plant it on a good ground, tend to their roots, but know that the person eating the bounty of the apples is more than likely someone very different to themselves. They still do it, because it’s good for humanity and good for the “apple tree”, rather than themselves personally.

Justice vs. Favor

the Normal Person* are ALWAYS expecting to be mishandled or drawing the short stick UNLESS they make a concerted effort into holding their ground or on gaining ground. They struggle through life because they absolutely do not believe anyone would give them anything without benefiting for it – as they wouldn’t either, predominately.

A strong the Normal Person* would, for example, expect a judge to rule against them lest he or she be “greased”, and if the same judge rules in favor of the Normal Person*, they might feel that the judge is “asking for” a bribe to compensate them. A Normal Person* is TERRIFIED of favors/kindness from “powerful people” because they feel any favor always comes with a price; so they may feel a favor is a direct attack on them, and a way to obligate them to a return favor later on.

This includes people who simply make sure everyone gets their dues, such as judges, social workers, community managers and leaders of all kinds.

However, a Savants* may have LEARNED to look a gift horse into the mouth, because when the Normal Person* DO give out charity or favors, they tend to come with strings attached.

Terrifying kindness – a terrifying lack of kindness

the Normal Person* are essentially afraid of everything. They are terrified of kind people, but they attack people who are not ESPECIALLY kind easily. The Normal Person* are the social justice warrior types, who accuse and guilt normal level headed people into all kinds of acts of kindness just to prove they are not selfish and horrible people. At the same time, the Normal Person* doesn’t use the same level of scrutiny on their own actions and tend to be a little surprised when they are asked if THEY are doing what they expect others to be doing. The reaction tends to be “Why should I/we? We’re not important… You are?”

An the Savants* would be wise to note that the Normal Person* men and women do not consider themselves accountable, but they consider people who are in some way “leading” communities accountable by the last dot on the paper. This includes the Normal Person* women who expect the Savants* men to reach superhuman standard of personal virtue while expecting nothing even remotely comparable from the Normal Person* women. The Savants* must start defending their own position more strongly – the Savants* have the bad habit of reconsidering their own position a BIT TOO EAGERLY and under too little pressure. That is the Savants* flaw – so unwilling to cause trouble, that they cause trouble.

the Savants* should not be so easily guilted onto backfoot. The Savants* are always afraid of being seen as hypocrites, and therefore they can be easily shot back by claims of suggesting that. The Savants* must stop being so insecure about the level to which they manage to live according to their own values.
