I am working on new approach in philosophy that would be most realistic and practical, in my opinion. Here are principles of, what I call, “symbiotic pragmatism”.
- Personal Fulfillment
A person should seek inner harmony and fulfillment by finding meaning within themselves and the surrounding world:
• Self-Knowledge: Regularly analyze your thoughts, emotions, and goals to understand what brings joy and meaning to your life.
• Authenticity: Follow your own beliefs and values rather than conforming to the expectations and stereotypes of others.
• Inner Realization: Achieve success that reflects your inner aspirations, not just external circumstances.
2. Personal Responsibility
Every individual is responsible for their actions and their outcomes:
• Ethical Integrity: Act in a way that you would want others to treat you, adhering to moral principles and mutual respect.
• Responsibility for Your Path: Recognize that your successes and failures are the result of your own choices.
- Care for Loved Ones: Support and respect those around you, taking responsibility for their well-being and future.
3. Contribution to Society
Society shapes individuals, and individuals should contribute back to it:
• Social Connection: Actively participate in community life, maintain relationships, and collaborate with others.
• Collective Good: Contribute to society by doing things that benefit others, fostering a sense of interdependence and shared purpose.
• Inspiring Example: Personal success and actions can motivate others and strengthen the community as a whole.
4. Mindfulness and Acceptance of Reality
The ability to see the world and oneself without illusions and to accept reality as it is:
• Acceptance of Circumstances: View situations objectively and make decisions based on real possibilities and current conditions.
• Intuition and Inner Experience: Trust your personal experience and inner voice when making significant decisions.
• Inner Awareness: Achieve stability and inner peace through honesty with oneself and self-reflection.
5. Continuous Growth and Learning
Education is a lifelong process that strengthens character and opens new opportunities:
• Personal Growth: Learn new skills and knowledge in line with your interests and personal needs.
• Sharing Knowledge: Pass on your experience and wisdom to others, helping them grow and develop.
• Adaptability and Curiosity: Stay open to new ideas and approaches, striving to improve yourself and the world around you.
