wrote in my last blog (12/05/2010) I am following a good friend, whom I consider the fate of companions: "His talent profile is the fact that he can actually feel, what potential hidden between the people are. One could not say again that it is a network, because his inspiring activities go far beyond. I regard him as a FATE works ". On the
financial level, I further disclosed that he gets his life but not organized, that has to do with the fact that the lack of public recognition his talent. For this I wrote, "must end, and it can not and should but the" free "to be citizens, the" Friends "also provide the freedom from this obligation? In practical terms, twenty times fifty euros a month would bring thousands of euros. ? And it could be a fate experienced worker who is used to make do with little money to live well for a while, say once: for a year "In the comments on my proposal was an interesting debate - I recommend that readers who come new to read the articles.
I would say at this point as I'm following. Firstly, it is reported that many people by email or by telephone to the proposal have a positive reaction. It seems that people from three countries - will participate in the project - Belgium, Holland and Germany. The reasons vary: some people have suspected or known to whom we are dealing specifically, and keep the work of my friend is important. Others think that the time was ripe for such projects. Waiting for "political decisions" (for example in relation to the unconditional basic income) would not only mean that opportunities are missed, but, above all, that would have gone to the personal responsibility of free citizens over.
I will report in the near future of this project on my blog on. I take the liberty to give the project a name: "company Sil. This title comes from a beachcomber from Terschelling named Sil. He had to follow at the end of the nineteenth century, the courage, his desires, contrary to the moral practices of his time. As the robber beach Sil my friend moves constantly between the social and land and sea of the future: the social surf, his wide field of work.
Second I want to clear away some misconceptions. In a culture of the heart is not "help" spoken of, but to "support". It is not at all a question of being charitable: the idea that there are "poor" people get from the wealthy help, is a culture of the heart away. One should understand this at this point that my proposal to contribute € 50 per month (which for some people a lot of money) is not decisive. Some people have recognized this fact, and also reported a lower amount. Ultimately, one could also contribute € per month - it's not about quantity, but the Participation. I'm not even sure whether this is really about - to talk of "gift money" - as usual.
It's about participation in the biography of another man, and the concern is not solely on a financial level. When we talk of "new" communities - and we do not yearn for it? - All the talk is just talk, if the starting point is not found in the specific relationships with specific people. It is the individual biographical questions that show you where to go, not the social, ideological and political goals - which are always abstract - and today's discourse dominate. The axes of new communities consist of free and intentional relations, and of the decisions taken by face to face.
The French relationship philosopher Emmanuel Levinas described the current situation in European society like this: "You want [in today's society; JvdM] an understanding of principles that includes the people no longer want the subject, lays down a principle that no more of the concern for the fate of the people would include "In place of concrete relationships States, banks and charitable foundations have come, which - according to the dogma says -". can objectively judge. In a culture of the heart do this objectivity, because fate is always a personal-on personal matter.
with specific fates specific tasks, issues and resolutions are connected. There are no other tasks, issues and resolutions not. The time that people could agree on the framework of a political party, a trade union or a benevolent foundation to abstract goals is long gone. The nodes in the heart of a culture based on mutual recognition and free movement of talents and intentions of people who see themselves as companions in misfortune. (And it need not even know that one's fate companions privately knows.)
A big question remains, however, how such projects are designed. I will take the "enterprise Sil" in the near future as an opportunity to look at the issue of money and its existence in a culture of the heart. I look forward to contributions, comments and suggestions, because in a culture of the heart, the way will only be found together. I would say that what we need conferences to the surf.
