Essence
*Current status: Council Agreed*
In Essence Affirmation, Full Version:
1. For all intents and purposes, this body is participated in by a
group. This group has an organized means of operation and will continue
in whichever way is best for the group. This is to be measured by
emotional, mental, and physical health of all members incorporated in
said group, whether they are people, fragments,
soulbonds/muses/puppets, or characters.
2. We agree that our ongoing intent is to function at or beyond the
level of any other average individual in the society around us, being
aware of our own needs and requirements and taking our own action to
fulfill them without requiring external government. As long as we
follow this agreement, we can be counted upon to be aware of our own
state of beings and to be interested in our interactions with society.
Until we prove ourselves to be incapable of maintaining our basic
physical needs, we are to assumed to be as capable as any other
physical body out there.
3. If we cannot restrain an individual's behavior, we must still bear
the results of said behavior and address it if it has been decided to
be a problem. We agree that the group will take the consequences of the
group. It is up to the group to govern and accept the consequences of
the group's behavior though there may be individual action that was not
representative of the whole.
4. As long as we perform at a functional level, it is our right to
decide when and where we require external assistance. We agree that it
is the responsibility of the group to remain functional. If, at any
time, the group is not on a balanced keel, it is up to us to take
action to repair this.
5. We agree that the group is expected to have the necessary checks and
balances to maintain a level of functionality and well-being. We are
expected to know when and how to manage the needs and desires of the
group's members. We do not need to seek treatment for the existence of
those we may not like, but we agree to do so if their actions cannot be
maintained and watched over by the group. It should be assumed that we
have said checks and balances present until disapproved.
6. As long as this agreement is carried by this group, we will hold not
only those of us we know of to it, but also those we do not. All
members of this group can and will be held to this declaration's intent
if they are to interact with matters externally and of the whole. If at
any time, we un
dergo a
dramatic enough
shift to warrant a redecision of
keeping to this agreement, it is our duty to declare that the
affirmation is no
longer applicable and to reestimate said agreement and restate if
necessary. If
enough of the group does not agree to the standard, it must be canceled.
7. As long as we participate in the external world, we will remember to
respect
other people for how they present themselves to us, regardless of if
they are
singlet or plural to whichever degree. We will not measure ourselves
against
other people in terms of essence and rankings of superiority therein.
We will
regard them upon the grounds of how they interact with us and should be
able to
expect the same courtesy from them.
8. Until that time, we declare that we can be counted on to operate
with the
goal of being a functional member of society in mind and should be
given the
proper status therein, unrestricted by the nature of our essential
state. Those
who interact with us can expect that we operate with these standards in
play
and will willingly repair problems if they arise. We will take our
consequences
for the group and will behave accordingly.
