An experience in words can be a fascinating study wondering how they came to be. On the simplistic, let's examine the words be, have, you & are.
The "be" is as in being and who you are. No one can change that, it can only be influenced or effected. You are who you are, period and there is no one like you; no one. Your fingerprints and DNA, as much as we can know about dna, tells us that. There is a big difference in alter and change. We can't change anything, we can only alter it's appearance.
The "have" is what you possess within the boundaries of all that you innately are. That is "your self" and all that is. We don't have a clue as to all that is. We just know that all you have is yours and yours alone. Those are your only possessions. No one should take those from you. Only when you give or they ask with your permission should any of what you possess leave your possession.
The "you" is what others see as to who you are. The undividable you, the indivisible you. In other words you cannot be divided up, separated and put back together to change what you are to others.
The "are" is you and all that is you, still functioning. You are still visibly functioning as far as others are concerned.
Now when you, your being and what you have that is/are you, what others recognize, are, and you put it all together as to their unique functioning as one, you get the word "BEHAVIOR". (be-have-you-are) Ha!
Someone ever told you to "behave yourself"? Ha! It's just be, the being that you are, and what you have is offensive to others and keep it to your self. Isn't that interesting? You are giving or offering you and what others recognize that they are not asking for. They are not behaving themselves when they do the same. It's all about what is complimentary in the asking and what we give in the sharing that determines the 'behavior' of US with each other. Get it? No you can't get it, but I am offering it just the same. If you understand what I am offering you don't have to get it, I am giving it to you. If you receive it complimentary, it will influence who YOU are and WE can function also complimentary with each other. And we behave ourselves in complimentary fashion.
Life is a giving and receiving paradigm, not a give and take one. Give and take is an excuse and means nothing. Giving and receiving means everything. Give and take excuses bad behavior whereas give and receive indicates good behavior. Complimentary/complementary behavior.
So let's put this in context. Good behavior is your being and all that you have that is you that others recognize in your existence and what you offer complimentary/complementary with another insures the we get along well and good too, of ourselves or each other. How's that?
Now as to "being", the be of be-haviour/savior/savor (ha) and what Shakespeare had to say about it:
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
Now when others have more of what they have taken, that can only be the result of them taking what was not given and outrageous fortune is what the greed of what that is and the hurt it engenders to those they have taken/stolen from. Should we fight to get what was stolen back or suffer with the loss. That is the question. Is it noble to suffer and do he best with what it is you have left? God help us, comes to mind. He does, not so much as we are concerned, but the gravity of the situation as it applies to those who have taken so much and the misfortunes of what can be understood of making a spectacle of themselves and the undue attention they gather; they become weighted down. They, when not in the image of the spectacle of themselves, go into hiding and truly know what being alone is.
Now let's put all of what I have offered in perspective. If you and all you are, are not infringed upon and nothing is taken from you unless you give it freely, others will recognize you for who you are no matter what it is you have to give or how much you have to give, your existence would be of a behavior that was good for you and others.
Now let's take this one step farther. In this reality we think it permissible to "buy" what another has is the same as they giving it. No, not even close. That is nothing but an illusion and a gross assumption. And we have been under that "spell" for ages. It's time we broke that "hex". (ha, short for one hell of an experience)
Here's the rub. Those who have more of what they have bought can only do that when they have more than they need and use the excess to get more to the point of becoming a spectacle. Not good as things go. Remember the gravity issue. When one has more they become a black hole and those who have less want what was bought or taken from them back and are attracted to the spectacle those that have it make of themselves to the point of disappearing into the gravity the have created for themselves and being alone is their only solitude. Buy buying what others did not give freely, a polarity ensues and the negatives or those without are sucked into that black hole to get what is rightfully theirs...................back. It is impossible for anyone to carry the extra weight of "more" when it is taken and not given. When it is given no one would want it back and animosity would not even exist.
In their being one who does have more in what they have and offers it and gives it complimentary, those who receive it are most gracious in their gratuity back, and will give what they have now more of from what was shared with them as a meritous contribution back. A mutual respect is in the offering of what each had for each other. It that case the more that one is given as that gratuity it would be the reward of their sharing of what they have eventually creating a balance for all.
This has a forward circularity motion that will go on forever like a spring, coil and what birth, death and infinity are. No one can handle all the weight of all we know and are; we can only exist in intervals. Parenthesis's in eternity is what life is.
In affect he who has the most that is of themselves alone and is so giving would be KING. A most honorable and respectable position and loved by all whom received his gifts. Excellent and appropriate behavior all around.
Now just who is that who would be king. Perhaps if we understand what good behavior is in the sharing, one day we will know who that is, and we will be more that grateful to build his throne ourselves.
Wow, I got out there this time. Ha! Sorry, that's what came to me when I woke up this morning. Ha!:bigsmile:
