On the Essence of Self Respect

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 15:11:19 +0000

It was an important observation by Mahatma Gandhi (Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi) that “God has no religion”. Moreover it is suggested in Christianity and other religions that God existed before he was created. This non intuitive existential concept leads to the idea that the only accurate answer to the question, “Who created God”, is that God “just is”. This realization leads us around a circular argument starting from “who created the universe” and ending with the Universe “Just is”. That is to say the concept of God is really a deferment to a higher level to explain the existence of the universe. Consequently no matter how many times this deferment is established the end result is always the same answer; “it just is”.

So where does self respect come into these lofty ideas? It arises when people assess themselves against an absolute believe that society is a credible measurement based by religious doctrine and social exclusion. Furthermore an individual suffering low self esteem believes he/she deserves to be lowly because of accepted societal tenets (whether true or false). What is more people will ameliorate their condition by defining themselves as better than someone else by only the color of their skin. Unfortunately like a drug they have to constantly reaffirm their superiority because, like a drug, it is a temporary and a fake support system.

Self respect starts by understanding that your position in society is irrelevant (because society morals are ambiguous and typically fake) and that you have principles that you believe in. These principles include: respecting people, being kind, being charitable and generally making people fell good about themselves. Every time you exert one of these principles it like making a deposit to a savings account. That is, the more you do it the better you feel. At a deeper level the following causes the brain to generate powerful feel good hormones (typically requires meditation): Forgive anyone who has done anything to you and let go the resentment they caused. Then assume absolutely that anything you have done to anyone else is completely forgiven and let go any feelings of guilt or shame. Be completely honest here, no one listening …..

So there it is, respect yourself first and make sure its real. Consequently you will be respected.

How To Write an iPhone Calculator App

Martin Geary — Fri, 17 May 2019 15:47:46 +0000

Previously on this blog I posted an introduction to iPhone app development. Therefore this post shows the next step for the up and coming developer. In this case the tutorial shows how to create a calculator. In particular the app shows how a single event handler can process more than one event. The image below is the link to the video tutorial. Also see below for the text version.

Text Version of the Tutorial

This section fully describes the steps needed to develop a calculator. As usual begin by opening the Xcode development environment.

Part 2: The Next Step in E = mc2

Martin Geary — Wed, 08 May 2019 20:31:06 +0000

This the followup on the previous post. The video below will derive this famous equation in more depth addressing some of the mathematical considerations comprising the theory.

Part 1: Derivation of E = mc2

Martin Geary — Wed, 08 May 2019 18:31:03 +0000

The subject of this post is the derivation of E = mc2. Science uses theories to predict physical behavior. As a result we need to understand the difference between good and bad theories. A good theory is one in which it’s prediction is confirmed by observed data. The mass-energy (E=mc2) equation is a good theory but the challenge is to describe it in laymen terms. Therefore the video below shows the derivation in a simple step by step fashion.

How to Write a Simple iPhone App for Beginners

Martin Geary — Tue, 07 May 2019 23:58:23 +0000

Firstly how to write a Simple iPhone App for Beginners is a common question. Therefore this is a tutorial on iPhone app development using Xcode and Swift. Also have you ever thought about writing iPhone apps in your spare time? Furthermore the incomplete “how To” videos out there are frustrating and presenters prevent understanding by excluding some critical steps. Consequently I have set out to solve this by making complete app creation videos for beginners. Above all for those who have never coded in their lives. Therefore the video below (click on the image) shows how to make a simple app using Xcode and Swift. Likewise the companion guide below shows how to write a simple iPhone app for beginners. Finally The Sapphire Blog is the repository for all posts to this site.
