Diescho's Dictum - Lack of Clarity of Purpose and Roles Lead to Peril [column]
by Professor Joseph Diescho - All Africa Global Media - Tue Feb 25, 8:07AM CST

Without these commonly accepted and as a guide, it is impossible to have a sense of a Bonum Commune, the common good and in the absence of this common good chaos, disorder, and lawlessness ensue with an unavoidable outcome: the survival of the fittest - a world wherein the most powerful, the most cunning, the most manipulative, survives better at the expense of the finest and all.

Diescho's Dictum - Lack of Clarity of Purpose and Roles Lead to Peril [column]
by Professor Joseph Diescho - All Africa Global Media - Tue Feb 25, 8:07AM CST
The ancient Chinese art of war guru, Sun Tzu had an instructive dictum: "To win a war without fighting it is best". This teaching is as true now as it was then. Human beings build and sustain civilizations by norms and values based upon a set of rules and precepts accepted by a critical mass of inhabitants of any given territory on this planet earth. Without these commonly accepted and as a guide, it is impossible to have a sense of a Bonum Commune, the common good and in the absence of this common good chaos, disorder, and lawlessness ensue with an unavoidable outcome: the survival of the fittest - a world wherein the most powerful, the most cunning, the most manipulative, survives better at the expense of the finest and all.
