Here we are faced by
two distinctly contrasting ends,
and one quite extensively-‘spectral’ ‘middle’,
of
‘Strengthening’
Our Descriptive-Purpose wording will show two such ‘ends’ –
“Self-&-Civilisation
Co-Sustainworthying;
Individual Human Movement Co-Improving
and
Wholesome Health, Wellness & Wellbeing
Co-Building & Co-Maintaining.”
Our ‘middle’ sense of
‘Strengthening’
is a quite ‘multiple’ one not stopping at “Strength” alone,
and is best shown by requiring competence in
all eight
of the basic Human Movements
& their Elements –
only one of which-elements is
“Strong-ness” –
better understood as
“Firmness” –
in contrast to its ‘balancing-opposite’ “Lightness” or “Gentle-ness”.
“Pressing”
has the four elements
Firmness, Directness, Sustainedness, and ‘Boundness’
whereas once the ‘Weight’ domain’s ‘Firmness’ is changed
to ‘Lightness’ it becomes
“Gliding”.
————
-The Four Domains are in pairs of ‘opposites’
WEIGHT
Firm or Gentle
SPACE
Direct or Flexible
TIME
Sustained or Quick
FLOW
Bound or Fluent.
——
The Eight Basic Movements then become
Pressing
Gliding
Wringing
Floating
Thrusting
Dabbing
Slashing
Flicking.
===================
‘Properly-Armed’ with that knowledge
one’s “self-‘strengthening'”
may progress satisfyingly and enablingly;
and can also be of practical application in the
remainder of our “Descriptive Purpose Intention”
to be
“Self-&-Civilisation
Co-Sustainworthying,
Individual Human Movement Co-Improving,
and
Wholesome Health, Wellness & Wellbeing Co-Building & Co-Maintaining”.”
=====================
FURTHER APPROPRIATELY
Historicly in the Age of European Imperial
Conquering, Colonialism, and ‘Competitive-Self-Advantaging’
the Dowager Empress of China
‘woke-up’
to the fact that China had to
quite quickly begin to
“Self-Strengthen” –
[in self-defense against British, and Other “rip-off” colonialisms]
which took the ‘How?’ form of
copying the British, European and American arms, technologies,
and other logistics;
at the same time copying,
and possibly-improving on,
those Foreigners’
Strategies, Tactics, Organisational and Administrative ‘edges’.
=================================
DISTINCTIONS
“Strong-Militancy” & Top-Down-Directivism
is the essentially ‘win-lose’
competitive
‘edge’
not only of colonialism
but of
‘Sovereignty’, Economics, Nationalism,
Market-Protocol and Social-Culture.
——
CONTRASTINGLY
Since analysts and historians have been finding that
‘Self-&-Mutual-Sufficiency
and
win-win–win Cooperativity’
is the
Participatorily Democratic ‘Mode of Operation’
which all populations
need to be increasingly bringing into
neighbourhood & national generic practice
and quite urgent self-new-rehabilitation
and
constitutional-law.
