Where are the genuine philosophers and poets? - Julius Fann, Jr

Where are genuine philosopher and the poet? Do they offer a path to enlightenment and guidance, to transcend the inevitability death warrant, and ascend into the unknown with a purified body, avoiding the futile pursuits that hold no meaning beyond death or ascension? Or do philosophers and poets simply guide humanity toward a repetitious circle of assumption they feel or believe essentials to navigate the situations, circumstances, conditions, and beliefs that obscure the vision of the higher Self?

Experience and knowledge gained in classrooms and from often historically reinforce factual fragmented interpretations rather than authentic depictions of past events. Such interpretations lack probative value, offering only distorted meanings, with teaching and learning that are not effectively applicable to life beyond academic settings. While these teachings enable students to express unique styles and rhythms and to develop personal philosophies and concepts rooted in an academic framework, philosophy, poetry, and ideas must transcend superficial and profound theories, speculations, opinions, and idealism to serve as a "balm in Gilead" for dependable justice. The principles of life demand the sacrifice of purely academic philosophizing, in favor of experiential wisdom that can be practically applied by life's poetical spirit.

Philosophers, like poets, are often regarded as dreamers, guides, and visionaries tasked with elevating societal thinking to a higher, unbiased standard. They should inspire progressive upswing within society and individuals, encouraging a reevaluation of preconceived notions about race, and gender worldwide. Philosophers ought to promote the principles of denouncing greed, selfish, self-righteous pride that carries absence of empathy [keeping heads in clouds], never advocating for compassion of the elderly, the poor, the disabled, veterans, the hungry, the destitute, and those in need of spiritual renewal.

The teachings of philosophy and poetry should consistently strive to cultivate a sense of responsibility, guiding individuals to understand that they are the gatekeepers, the custodians of righteousness within their homes and communities. That no individual is better than anybody else.

Philosophy and poetry need to remove those big hats on their small heads and always inspire responsibility, serving as the voices of righteousness within households, neighborhoods, and beyond human laws of disciplines. They hold the influential power and abstract visions that decide how the world is to evolve. They should always point out first, in their household and children, highlight within their own households and children, that it is every man's plight, struggle and experience is to pave a balanced path for humanity—a path to live, die, protect and preserve the world from tyranny both internal and external that threatens to destroy "WE THE PEOPLE." As John Donne so eloquently expressed in his epic poem "No Man Is an Island...every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; therefore, never send to know for whom the bell—its tolls for thee."
