Can one be and act honestly around others? If not, one
through independence, can refuse association, or can tend
to attempt to compromise with them, accept their
differences, and attempt to educate them, by means proved
most effective by experience. This is usually most easily
accomplished, by accepting people emotionally, possessing
or developing a genuine liking on that level, and then being
as honest as one can to the extent that others can accept it.
The argument will always be made, that in a Conservative
framework, the individual cannot pursue the freedoms to
utilize every capacity. Thus progression is distinguished
from Natural Development. Natural Development, is the
development of what is inherent to the constitution of the
pre-existent state. Thus the tree develops from the inherent
precondition of the seed.
For the individual, this equates to the development of
inherent characteristics, such as natural talents to things
like math, music or sports. For the TC, the emphasis is
upon interior personal development, and not necessarily the
display of external models such as wealth, power,
possessions, or superior status. For the Progressive,
development is based upon models independent of inherent
traits. A Japanese Bonsai tree is developed, based on a
model independent of its natural propensities. In terms of
human aspirations, these models may be independent of the
individual's capacity for them. In modern culture all
woman may be expected to look like dolls, or be skinny in
specific milieu. Men may be expected to exhibit toughness
and bravado or to be successful. With modern day
capitalism, the emphasis is to produce and sell to the
masses, consumer products based on the concept of models,
that are not necessarily compatible with the intrinsic
character of the individual, such as a specific diet or entry
into the stock market.
