The Three Strongest Standing Principles
The Three Strongest Standing Principles are the cornerstone of any society or culture. They are the foundations of how we interact with one another, how we create laws and regulations, how we govern ourselves and how we build our communities.
The first principle is respect. Respect between people is the bedrock of any successful culture. It is essential that all individuals within any society respect one another. Respect involves understanding, listening and learning from those different from you and treating them with the same respect and good will you would want for yourself. Respect for one another leads to trust which then leads to cooperation and collaboration to achieve a common goal.
The second principle is responsibility. Within any society, individuals must take responsibility for their own actions and decisions. Taking responsibility means being accountable, taking ownership of problems and working together to find solutions. Without responsibility, any society would quickly collapse due to individuals pursuing their own self-interests over the greater good.
The third principle is reciprocity. Mutual reciprocity is the backbone of any successful society. Mutual reciprocity involves giving and taking. It means giving something in return for what has been received and it means receiving something in return for your own contributions. Reciprocity also creates a sense of interdependent harmony in a society.
The above three principles form the basis of a strong, successful and sustainable society. They are the sacred trinity that guides our interactions and our efforts. Respect, responsibility and reciprocity are the three strongest standing principles that any society must build itself upon. Together, these three principles form the foundation of our systems of governance, our global community, and the fabric of our lives.
