Determining the Greater Good and Having the Humility to Do So

I am fully aware that the greater good is obviously a point of view and this is a good time to reiterate that anything on this blog is just my humble opinion based on my own experiences and research, but the point I am trying to make is that transcenders always aim to help others, even if these others do not always realize this. Transcenders never intentionally hurt anyone based on their own personal desires like psychopathic pretenders but only always try to serve a greater good, whatever that may be. They have the best intentions and their actions reflect this. They only use violence when absolutely necessary, but when they employ it, they do so competently and resolutely without emotions to cloud their resolve. This leads to the main point in this discussion. Transcenders are the real-life superheroes while the pretenders are the supervillains. Transcenders are the Jedi, pretenders are the Sith. Both possess extraordinary insight into existence, both have transcended the Dancefloor of Existence and see the workings of the Universal Clockwork, both are well equipped to employ the Trinity of Control to achieve their goals. How they use this elevated position and power over the masses however, is vastly different as has been demonstrated above. But the similarities are there. They are the Yin and Yang of the Universal Clockwork. They both have the Force in them, but use the light and the dark side respectively. 

Continuing with the Star Wars analogy, I also believe that many transcenders occasionally feel tempted by the dark side. This is where the discussion gets really blurred and the “best” intentions and greater “good” become really fluid terms. Sometimes transcenders urged by the need and desire for change, might inadvertently be drawing on the dark side. For after all, although they tend to forget, even transcenders are still only human and can never fully see outside Plato’s cave or observe the intimate workings of the Universal Clockwork completely across time and space and can thus never make a fully informed decision of what exactly is the greater good. They will always be anchored to their physical location in time and space, and thus any decision that might seem indisputable at a certain time, might later prove to be horribly wrong and misguided. Like the great transcender character, Sherlock Holmes, constantly reminds his counterpart Watson, it is folly to make any conclusions without knowing all the facts. This is a great example of the humility possessed only by transcenders and not pretenders. The latter make conclusions and readily enacts them as they see fit, while the former only does so when called to action by necessity and always bases these decisions on the facts available at the time. The rest of the time they only theorize and make qualified suggestions, they never presume to have all the answers or be all powerful. (And neither do I by the way ;)) And given our position in the Universal Clockwork trapped in space and time, no one human will ever possess all answers. But basing decisions in experience, both personal and collective, rather than on instinct and presumption is a good start, and a crucial difference between transcenders and pretenders.
