Areas with diverse gene expression often have a culture of openness and may even have rules on inclusion. They are very liberal in allowing gene exploration in very conservative in restricting gene expression. There is often no assessment on how someone's behaviors could affect others in a theoretical future. There is always an evaluation on how behaviors immediately affect others, and if there are any grievances about intrusions in someone elses personal space. Being non intrusive has a high priority in these environments.
This leaves a lot of room for exploration and provides some ethical guidelines on how behaviors affect environment, timeline, and surroundings in the immediate present. This can lead to reflection on how decisions for similar situations have provided some result. Encountering the same situation might lead to tabulating results in recent memory and provide an indicator on how to proceed with the situation.
Behaviors that don't affect others are viewed as positive or neutral. Those that have some affect on others are categorized for self reflection. Being emotionally distraught over someone elses existence is not the same as being directly injured by someone willfully and intentionally. In other words, someone that is resentful or distressed by someone elses behavior is not the same thing as someone insulting, harming, or targeting another person directly for the purpose of harming them. Observational resentment is deprioritized.
Intimate relationships, family and close friends often bring to mind the word "love". However, the definition of loving does not have to involve intimacy or multi-faceted categorizations that have been popularized by the Greek language. This includes different descriptions on the perceptions of love such as family or partner. A strong affection or biological attraction are part of the assessments on these descriptions.
Loving can mean being careful, thoughtful, insightful, and introspective about how someone's interactions with others affect their well being. This allows a person to be very loving in their interactions with others without conveying an emotional attachment or sense of intimacy that may not be present. Some would describe this as being kind, but there is also an assessment of how that kindness affects the other person. There is an assessment of the persons emotional wellbeing and there is an objection to being overly strict or stern. Love does not have to mean depriving or giving in and can be neutral in its expression.
Sharing does always mean giving and it is not synonymous with donations or community ownership. Most people own something. Their clothes, their shoes, their toys, their favorite hairbrush. As people grow older they tend to own more things, there is rarely a thought about the less fortunate. Those are very delicate situations and experts help them through those issues as their every day job. Sometimes people own quite a bit of things and they don't expect anyone to take those from them or to have to give them away to anyone. Community ownership are often things like shopping malls, city halls, council buildings, and courthouses. Parks and libraries can also fall under community ownership. They are things that belong to everyone or are openly accessible. There may still be a guardian or gatekeeper to help keep the rules everyone agreed to.
When describing giving, people often think about an openness or allocation for others to select from. This may be putting things up for sale that are very special to them or sharing something in confidence that may be helpful to somebody else. There is often a difficulty in obtaining these resources and they may not be too particular about who has access to what they are offering. It may sometimes be in limited supply, and some people are giving with things that are in abundance. The point is, they've set something aside for others.
Giving often means making things available that others have difficulty in obtaining. It does not have to be for a cost, but it often takes resources to obtain. This should not be dreadful, it should be neutral or positive.
Acceptance is big part of belonging and has a different significance than being included. It is not the same thing as being tolerant of someone or not being bothered by them too much. It means you agree with how they express themselves and how they self-describe the way they are perceived. Acceptance means there are no changes to make to somebody else because only they can describe the changes that need to be made. If they describe some changes that are in order, then it is acceptable to be supporting of those changes. The changes should be brought on by their own self realizations and perceptions.
Inclusiveness is not much different than being invited. Someone can be included in an event or society and mostly be ignored and not paid attention to. They may also be made fun of or insulted when others aren't around. Even though they are included, they feel they do not belong and may want something different.
Belonging has an inherent sense of inclusiveness but inclusion does not inherently include belonging.
Words can often be deciphered by breaking them into parts. While this may not always be accurate, it can provide a road map to how the word evolved and where it may have originated. Transitioning descending or ascending seems like a good place to start. Transitional descendance or ascendance, or horizoncendance. It indicates dissolving or disappearing from one area and appearing somewhere else, quick as a lightning bolt.
This sometimes doesn't have to be so sudden, it can indicate vanishing from a current context and appearing somewhere else that is a better place. Ignoring a distressful situation and focusing on a positive event later in the immediate future can be the start of learning about transcendence. Later in life, this can mean wiping a whole time period from recollection and emptying out those memory cells.
What remains is the transcendence to tomorrow.
Life can often be filled with very few moments of transcendence and focused on long fluid timelines of development and positive memories. Transcendence during these times can be long periods of deep study to bring additional data into the immediate present. This can signify an awakening.
