Cultural Wallet/ATM-Enabling Codependent

 

More than a Cultural 

Wallet/ATM-Enabling Codependent

As much a treatise on the ‘taken-for-granted’ presumptuousness of cultural psychology of their ‘required’ roles on a macro level than the micro-exploitation on the individual level. Folks operate on this in auto-mode expectation that their consumption is an entitlement of specie-status/class-gender-or-legal standing. As a consequence, both the ‘obliged’ and the ‘expectants’ exist in a pre-choreographed program of conditioned behavior in the cultural/social colloidally structured systems

J.J. Rousseau’s maxim, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in  chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a greater slave  than they.", rings true today as much as it did 240 years ago. Just as Br’er Rabbit encountered with the tar baby, so we have adhered ourselves to this operative fallacy in our social human relations.

Admonitions about this entrapment have been similarly written [though for other ends]. In chapter 18 verse 47 of the Bhagavad-gita, it’s noted, 

“It is better to do one's imperfect and humble dharma, even than to do [or be the servant of] an other's dharma, even though perfectly. By doing one's innate duties, a person does not incur sin”. 

In the 27th Discourse if the Futuh al-Ghaib it states, “(May God be pleased with him) sad: 

Regard good and evil as two fruits coming out from  two branches of a tree. One of the two branches yields sweet  fruit and the other is bitter. So you Leave cities and..[other] parts of countries from where fruits are plucked from this tree and sent: and keep away from them and their people. Approach  the tree itself and become its guard attendant-servant, and  acquire knowledge of these two branches and of the two fruits  and their neighborhoods, and remain near the branch which  yields sweet fruit Then, it will be your and your source of  strength, and beware lest you should approach the other branch  and eat the fruit of, lest its bitterness should kill you. When you  persist in this attitude you will be in case and security and safety from all troubles and all kinds  of calamities are  born of this bitter fruit. 

When you are away from this tree and  wander about in countries and these fruits are brought before you and are mixed up in a manner that the sweet cannot be distinguished from the bitter and you start eating them, your  hand may fall on the bitter and you may put it in your mouth and eat a part of it chew it  so that its bitterness goes to your  palate; and then to your throat and further your brain and  nostrils spreads its effect you as far as your veins and the organs of your body and you are thus killed….

Both in the ‘Gita’ and the ‘al-Ghaib’ the warnings and admonitions to prevent one from being ensnared by fallacious notions that draw your association and consumption to them from the ambiguities of imperfection in our temporal existence. Those ethical and moral ambiguities from the emotional pressures and extortion of cultural ways and your social interaction dynamics lead you ignorantly into being the cuckold in the social saga of being a complicit and enabling codependent.
