Shooting, shouting, or sharing?
Trust is a basic need for us, humans. Public faith requires love and care for the other. Without the last (love and care) there is no sense of faith in life inside the public sphere, and we end up in a lonely world where trust does not make sense and where we only feel abandoned to our luck and individuality.
Moral philosophers have discussed the scenario where we don´t count on trusting anyone, and where social protection comes from our personal efforts and the time we devote to work when young (and productive) in order to save our excedents for the times when we cannot produce because we all will get ill or old at some point or season of our lives.
Under the previous scenario, we will end up creating the best for ourselves and our herd on an ultra-competitive planet, where resources are each time more scarce, cost more and more, and where production becomes hard to achieve, and profits start to vanish while faith in the future, faith in the planet, faith in the others, and faith in goodwill disappear in a rapid and increasingly stressful trend.
What can we do under those scenarios?
We can come back to basics: the invisible hand can turn into an invisible loving hand, where we can help ourselves by loving our lives and loving our duties because effort and work have shown to perform always -in history- as the best psychologists and psychiatries for the crazy humans of all epochs and continents.
Love seasons all seasons.
We can work under individuality for ourselves and our families, but love will get our families together Intra and inter time and land.
We can reject socialism under the premise of bad faith and the reality of false promises that never get delivered. Yes, we can, and we should. Still, we need something that replaces the social role of socialism: the faith in ourselves and love for creating the loving invisible hand that has created the welfare state under voluntary agreements of law and care.
