By the end of Post 128 we had come full circle to complete the Raphael Unified Theory of Human Motivation (RUTHM) by engaging the minded-connected side of sustainable social existence and the heart-connected side of sustainable individual existence using the three core values and the three core value-emotions of social sustainability.
I have been asked many times, “Why would someone want to initiate a Social Sustainability Design Team in their local community or in an organization or agency?” The question is best answered by someone who has actually initiated a Design Team.
First, the person has identified a problem, issue, topic or situation in their community, society or organization that they are concerned about. Second, that person’s need “to do something about it” comes from their empathy for the individuals who are involved in that situation. Third, that person has an urge of compassion, an urge to reach out and offer help, for those people in that situation. Fourth, that person has a generalized love of humanity, a living connection with those people who are in that situation, which originates from his or her empathetic identification with them in their plight, as this situation could happen to anyone.
The three core value-emotions of compassion, empathy and “love” act in us by urging us to proactively extend our self to come to the aid of others. Doing so, we innately know that their “quality of life” and their potential for “growth” will be awakened in them equally as we know it would in us. This is the innate source for “pay it forward.” This is how a socially sustainable family, community and society begin. It emanates from the very heart of us, and identifies us individually as being humane in our best performance of being human.
This is a clear demonstration that people are innately good; and, that those who are not were raised that way, negatively interpreted how they were raised or chose to be other than innately good. These three core value-emotions clearly identify us as social individuals rather than asocial or antisocial. These are evidence of being socialized – to care about and for others equally as we do for our self.
Peace is not possible without these three value-emotions being existent and functioning in reality. Social stability is not possible either; nor, is social sustainability. These three value-emotions are fundamental to what we become as individuals, families, communities, societies and nations.
