Philosophy or Politics, Moral or Ethical.

Whereas none of the four words are part of my common language I find myself drawn to them as people I know generally seem to be taking a more political stance.So I am clarifying my use of the words as follows.

Philosophy is understanding the self in order to be more comfortable with who I am and better control my wants. Politics is how I see my comfort more depended upon others and so have thoughts on how to better control my environment and that means other people.

When young people leave home, their political refuge most will endeavour to establish physical comforts through earning money and buying in the requisite items, this is the common ground without which a person is unlikely to have been born. Some will not feel happy about this and will struggle with the meaning of life. Is it just about consuming until each of us dies. Most of these disenchanted people will tends towards a political view as they age.

Philosophy can exist in the same brain as politics but they each vie for space.

The use of the mind to understand the material world around the body, implies a sense of concern for comfort and hence political philosophy or political theory are tools for politics and are not related to philosophy.

Philosophy stems from the notion of being at one with wisdom (philo ~ friend : sophie~wisdom)
The notion of being the friend of has more than two connotations as does the word love, so being with seems to explain the limited between the brains handle on consciousness and the underlying logic that the brain the built upon.

The use of the word friend can be easily seen as philosophical or political, no doubt love can also. However if I have a friend or a lover what does that entail.

It would be nice to live in a world where everyone is friendly to everyone, but that is not the case. Clearly the political aspect of this lack of friendliness is born of politics and yet philosophically there is no reason that each shouldn't be friendly to another. The problem arise in that under the vein on politics, the governing thought for people most of the time physical comfort requires that others are friendly to me. Philosophically I can be friendly without measuring what happens to me from the external environment.

Hence we have a moral consciousness [I] and an ethical one [me]. The ethical one is an elaborate way to convince the self that politics is for all and hence good, however your ethnic group with decide how you benefit from community consumerism. An ethnic group has it's own politics and those persons belonging to a group are not defined by colour but by their thinking.
