The Good/Bad Paradigm

The functionality of our system is paradoxically rooted in dysfunction under this paradigm.

Consider this: if there were no 'bad' individuals, entities like law enforcement, military, and law itself would have no purpose. Therefore, the system relies on the existence of 'bad' people to justify its structures, creating a dysfunctional cycle where such individuals are both produced and needed for the system to persist.

Similarly, in education, if there were no 'bad' grades, conventional schooling would lose its raison d'être. The system thrives on grading individuals to sort them for colleges and employers, thus perpetuating a dysfunctional dynamic where success is often measured in comparison to others.

This framework fosters an environment of competition and division, pitting individuals against each other as 'good' or 'bad.' But to sustain itself, the system requires this dichotomy, leading to inherent dysfunction.

I present these perspectives for contemplation, urging you to consider how we might collectively work towards shifting this paradigm.

How can each of us play a role in dismantling this system of division and fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, a Unity paradigm?
