Humanity will determine the future of our species.
Religion, Confucius, ethics, spiritual and enlightenment are some of the many expressions that determine the shades of humanity – here at the 1DesignerLife.com, we will find your very specific tint of probity.
The four horsemen in the Game of Life are Money, Relationship, Health and
Humanity. Humanity is the leader that glues the team.
For every dollar won from the Money Play, there has to be a loss from another player. For every relationship gained from the Relationship Play, a mate for instance, the opportunity is unavailable for another competitor. For every second of existence reaped from the Health Play, all the life basic needs are not accessible for a new life on the verge of horizon.
The shade of humanity determines how the Money Play, the Relationship Play and the Health Play are executed.
Right at the beginning of civilization, we have a set of spoken and written rules of engagement. The rules have its root primarily from the Devinity. Overtime, many of these rules have been rewritten to work with law and order.
In a fair and just world, the rules applied to all of the citizens. The fact that the first spoken and written rule was create by man. As a result, it and its derivatives have been and will be biased toward the creator and his progeny.
When the man created the first rule to govern the emerging society, he looked toward the Universal body rule and order. All things that the man can see, feel, smell, touch including his thought are subjugated under this governance.
The man took the Universal body rule and order that regulates all things, erased his name to escape retribution, and declared its validity – similarly to Morgan Freeman (Sloan from the Wanted 2008 film), who tossed away his fabric from the Loom of Fate.
This is the basis for the spectrum of the shades of humanity in all of us. We are the sons and daughters of the first man – the inherited character is expressed in the action and behavior – from the mindset that rules are for others.
Organized religions have been around for few thousands of years. They have played an important role in eliminating small tribal conflicts and expanding the size of global cooperation required for the advancement of the modern civilization.
The human species is genetically bred as social animals – we need an in-group identifier.
For the last few hundreds of years, the clout of religions has been eroded by two happenings – science and the lure of power and money.
Since the Industrial Revolution began in England and spread to other countries starting in the mid 17th century, the science discipline has been exponentially exploded ever since. With Galileo treatment by the Church served as background example, new scientific findings were readily accepted over religion dogma at a much faster pace.
The religion defection got worsen in the last century when the population witnessed the huge percentage of men of the cloth were defending religion not on the basis of religious faith, but it was all about the lure of power all along.
In just the last 20 to 30 years of the 21st century, the creative warfare tactic suicide bombing becomes the theme for the heated debate about the role of religion.
The bottom illustration in fig 2 below is depicting life without the idea of religion for the mass. All the shades in between, the crucial relationships, are slowly dissipating from the self perspective – it is all about the Self, the me.
For thousands of years, religion was the civic tool different cultures around the world effectively used for teaching the human species the rule of tolerance for one another – respect your parents, love your family and be kind to others.

As depicted in Fig 2, Divinity shaded the entire spectrum of humanity from the Self perspective.
In the last few centuries, especially in the United States, Divinity was slowly replaced by the plethora of new age ideas – the Cosmos, the Universe of one, Nature and new scientific discoveries.
Before the world organized religions, the mindset of the leadership in the antiquated tribal days was anchoring in these ideas to lead their tribes moving forward.
When the tide of religion is receding to the new age buzz words, the world is opening up to second rated leadership – whose interpretation of the future of humanity is riddled with flaws that have dire consequences.
For the application in the real world, the very top of the world leadership does not manage the world with religious dogma. Their personal relationship with Divinity is a mean of inspiration, compassion and courage – especially in perilous time of need.
As of the early part of the 21st century and in all practical purposes, the world leadership plans, executes and manages the world from the Humanity perspective. But it is the works of religion and science that seeded and nurtured the on-going maturity of Humanity tree.
The current state of global education with science as the subset does not have the proper foundation to cultivate the upcoming generation the necessary understanding of Humanity and all the shades in between.
For the younger generation from the age of 15 to 25, having a root in religion is more beneficial than without. However as the same generation gets more mature, Humanity is a much more optimal state of inner sanctum for individual and the human species as a whole.
Here at 1DesignerLife.com, we recognized the necessary role of religion in the early development of the new generation. However, it is the shade of Humanity that will be used as metric to gauge our action and behavior in the life long effort of achieving the best of ourselves.
What is your chosen shade of Humanity?
Let’s play the Game of Life!
