Moral development with women and men – Carol Gilligan

The US American professor of gender studies Carol Gilligan (*1936) is a former student of the psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, best known for his theory of stages of moral development. She discovered that people faced with an emergency situation will be approached gender-specifically:
⚑ Women focus more on the framework of relationships, interactions and responsibilities.
⚑ Men focus more on abstract rights and duties.
Basically, the masculine ethics of justice and the feminine ethics of care are structurally equal.

Both women and men develop hierarchically.
Women by nature do not think hierarchically, however they develop in hierarchical ways.
⚑ Women engage in a connectional and binding manner.
⚑ Men tend to think autonomously, are action oriented and prefer ranked order.

Four moral developmental stages
Feminine ethics of care ⇔ Masculine ethics of justice

༺༻	Level	Stage	Ethics of care Phoenix process	Ethics of justice Sense of duty	Key phrase
1.	Egocentric	Pre-conventional	Selfish Caring	Selfish Just/dutyful	I love myself.
2.	Ethnocentric	Pre-conventional	Tribal Caring	Tribal Just/dutyful	I love you.
3.	Worldcentric	Conventional	Universal Caring	Universal Just/dutyful	I love you more than me.

4.	Cosmocentric-integral	Post-conventional	Integrated Caring	Integrated Just/dutyful	I love myself and you.

Pyramid of needs – Abraham Maslow

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs comprising 6 stages Bedürfnispyramide

In 1954 Abraham Maslow introduced his theory of the Hierarchy of Needs in his book Motivation and Personality and later he commented on it in Toward A Psychology Of Being (1968).
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs comprises three levels:
1. Deficiency needs
2. Aesthetical needs
3. Growth needs.

Similar to Lawrence Kohlberg's late insight did Maslow insert a 6th stage to his step model shortly before his death in 1970. The 6th (Kohlberg's 8th) stage is self transcendence i.e. search for meaning, God, a higher being (supposedly located outside), and service.
At a convention where Maslow met the Nazi concentration camp survivor and founder of logotherapy Viktor E. Frankl,
his 5-step-model was being challenged by the finder of meaning.¹⁴
Frankl contrasted self-transcendence with Maslow's term self-actualization. Self-actualization, including happiness, are side-effects of the discovery of meaning and self-transcendence.¹⁵ / ¹⁶ and selfless service.¹⁷

Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (1954-1970)
adapted to eight stages in 1990s

Stage	Need mode	Name of need Expression	Legend
1.	Deficiency	Biology Physiology	Air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep
2.	Deficiency	Safety	Protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, routines, stable income, insurances, health, (denominational) religion
3.	Deficiency	Belongingness Love	Socializing in groups, colleagues at work, circle of friends, intimate relationships, family bonds, communication, love, affection, caring, charity

4.	Aesthetics	Esteem	Self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, status symbols, dominance, prestige, awards, success, wealth, managerial responsibility, career, individuality
5.	Aesthetics	Cognition	Acquiring knowledge, training the intellect, debate, reading, solving puzzles, meaning, purpose, insights
6.	Aesthetics	Beauty	Appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, art, philosophy

7.	Growth	Self-actualization	Realising talents and personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth, altruism, goodness, faith, peak experiences, world explanation, ethics of guide lines
8.	Growth	Self transcendence	Search for God or a higher being (suspected outside of the system), deeper meaning, serving others to achieve self actualization

For self-actualizers to feel happy following Being needs (B-needs) have to be met:
✣ Truth, rather than dishonesty.
✣ Goodness, rather than evil.
✣ Beauty, not ugliness or vulgarity.
✣ Unity, wholeness, and transcendence of opposites, not arbitrariness or forced choices.
✣ Aliveness, not deadness or the mechanization of life.
✣ Uniqueness, not bland uniformity.
✣ Perfection and necessity, not sloppiness, inconsistency, or accident.
✣ Completion, rather than incompleteness.
✣ Justice and order, not injustice and lawlessness.
✣ Simplicity, not unnecessary complexity.
✣ Richness, not environmental impoverishment.
✣ Effortlessness, not strain.
✣ Playfulness, not grim, humorless drudgery.
✣ Self-sufficiency, not dependency.
✣ Meaningfulness, rather than senselessness.

paragraph "Metaneeds and metapathologies", 1998, 2006, retrieved 12. April 2010

"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization. This term, first coined by Kurt Goldstein, is being used in this paper in a much more specific and limited fashion. It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, namely, to the tendency for him to become actualized in what he is potentially. This tendency might be phrased as the desire to become more and more what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming." Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) US American transpersonal psychologist, happiness researcher, author, Motivation and Personality, S. 93, Harper & Brothers, 1954

Basic Human Needs Continuum by Clayton Alderfer (1940-2015) US American psychologist

Four key takeaways based on Maslow's need theory:
1. We are all more alike than we are different. We truly are part of a human family.
2. Most of us are feeling more insecure, unloved, and unworthy than we admit to ourselves or others.
And these unmet needs fuel our unconscious behavior.
3. True positive mental health, or mature adulthood, is reached when we resolve these hidden tensions within ourselves.
Only then can we access our innate potential as mature adults.
4. Focus on your overall life direction. Are you moving in the direction of growth (and feeling greater satisfaction)?
Or are you regressing in an attempt to meet your basic needs and feeling frustration?

Stages of psychosocial development – Erik Erickson

Eight stages of psychosocial human development – Crises resulting in virtues
From birth to death – Freud's model of psychosexual development (expanded)

Each stage is signified by a conflict between two opposing phenomenons.
Once the struggle is resolved, a person acquires a particular virtue.
If a person does not fully resolve the conflict within a stage, that virtue becomes an
ongoing issue that persists throughout subsequent stages or until it gets resolved.

Stage	Phase	Age	Conflicting crisis	Significant relationship	Resulting virtue	Main Question
1.	Infancy	Age 0-1	Basic trust ⇔ mistrust	Mother	Hope	Feeding, abandonment
2.	Toddler	Age 2-3	Autonomy ⇔ shame and doubt	Parents	Will	"Can I do things myself or must I always rely on others?" Toilet training, clothing themselves
3.	Childhood preschool	Age 4-6	Initiative ⇔ guilt	Family	Purpose	"Am I good or am I bad?" Exploring, using tools or making art
4.	Early adolescence	Age 7-11	Industry ⇔ inferiority	Neighbors, school	Competence	"How can I be good?" School, sports
5.	Late adolescence	Age 12-19	Individual Identity ⇔ role confusion	Peers, role model	Fidelity	"Who am I and where am I going?" Social relationships
6.	Early adulthood	Age 20-45	Intimacy ⇔ isolation	Friends, partners	Love	"Am I loved and wanted?" "Shall I share my life with someone or live alone?" Romantic relationships
7.	Middle adulthood	Age 45-65	Generativity ⇔ stagnation	Household, workmates	Care	"Will I produce something of real value?" Work, parenthood
8.	Late adulthood Old age	Age 65-death	Ego Integrity ⇔ despair	Mankind, my kind	Wisdom	"Have I lived a full life?" Reflection on life

Basic principles applying to all developmental levels

⚑ Each of the 11 levels includes the previous one.

⚑ Each the 11 levels transcends the previous one.

⚑ Understanding or possessing characteristics of a stage does not mean to incorporate them.

⚑ The lagging or weakest developmental line is closer to one's overall level of development than the strongest, leading line.

⚑ One's level of development is not the determining factor.

One has to understand and balance the behavioral, cultural, consciousness and social quadrants of one's life. Furthermore, it is essential

❄ to process a number of lines of development, including cognitive, self, ethical and interpersonal.

❄ to be able to differentiate between temporary state access and permanent stage acquisition.

The prevailing family, work, religious and political cultures in which one is embedded largely determine
one's own level of development. The largely invisible impact of culture is chronically underestimated.

"It is normal for those who have had a near death or mystical experience to be convinced that they have attained the transpersonal due to overwhelming experiences of vast timelessness, spacelessness, selflessness, and unconditional love. […] As stunningly expansive and transformational as these experiences are, if a person claims to have been propelled into a state of permanent enlightenment, they are almost certainly self-deluded. They are confusing the accessing of transpersonal states, which anyone, including children, can do, and being stable in one's development at some transpersonal level, which almost nobody does."

The evolution of our species does not force species to mature psychospiritually, and individual maturation, in general, does not cause our species to evolve. But, in our time, if we do not mature as individuals (and consequently as societies), the entire arc of human evolution might soon come to an end. We are in danger of extinction
– along with the extinction we have already wrought upon thousands of other species.
The continuation of our human arc depends on which circle – egocentric or soul centric – we embrace.

Four stages of community building – M. Scott Peck

US psychiatrist M. Scott Peck started the Foundation for Community Encouragement (FCE) to promote the formation of communities, which, he argues, are laying the foundation towards uniting humanity and saving it from self destruction.
He says that community has three essential ingredients:

Stages of community building

According to M. Scott Peck Community building goes through the four stages:
1. Pseudocommunity ⇒ 2. Chaos ⇒ 3. Emptiness ⇒ 4. True community.

༺༻	Community stage	Legend
1.	Pseudocommunity	Members pretend to have a bon homie with one another, and cover up their differences, by acting as if the differences do not exist. Pseudocommunity can never directly lead to community. The person guiding the community building process has the job to shorten this period as much as possible.
2.	⚡ Chaos	When pseudocommunity fails to work, the members start falling upon each other, giving vent to their mutual disagreements and differences. This is a period of chaos. It is a time when the people in the community realize that differences cannot simply be ignored. Chaos looks counterproductive AND it is the first genuine step towards community building.

3.	⚡ Emptiness Purification Shadow work	People learn to empty themselves of those ego related factors that are preventing their entry into commu- nity. Emptiness is a tough step because it involves the death of a part of the individual. It paves the way for the birth of a new creature, the Community.
4.	True community	Having worked through emptiness, the people in community are in empathy with one another and tacit understanding. People are able to relate to each other's feelings. Discussions, even when heated, never get sour, and motives are not questioned.

Community formation juxtaposed to the five stages of team development

The four stages of community formation are somewhat corresponding to a
model in organization theory depicting five stages of team development,
namely: 1. Forming ⇒ 2. Storming ⇒ 3. Norming ⇒ 4. Performing ⇒ 5. Transforming.

༺༻	Formation stage	Legend	Remark
1.	Forming	Team members have some initial discomfort with each other but nothing comes out in the open. They are insecure about their role and position with respect to the team.	This corresponds to the initial stage of pseudo-community.
2.	Storming	Team members start arguing heatedly and differences and insecurities come out in the open.	This corresponds to the second stage given by Scott Peck, namely chaos.
3.	Norming	Team members lay out rules and guidelines for interaction that help define the roles and responsibilities of each person.	This corresponds to emptiness, where the community members think within and empty themselves of their obsessions to be able to accept and listen to others.
4.	Performing	Team members finally start working as a cohesive whole, and effectively achieve the tasks set of themselves. In this stage individuals are aided by the group as a whole where necessary, in order to move further collectively than they could achieve as a group of separated individuals.
5.	Transforming	Celebration is at hand. When individuals leave there is a genuine feeling of grief, and a desire to meet again. Traditionally this stage was often called "Mourning".	This stage corresponds to the stage of true community.

It is in this third stage that Peck's community-building methods differ in principle from team development. While teams in business organizations need to develop explicit rules, guidelines and protocols during the norming stage,
the emptiness stage of community building is characterized, not by laying down the rules explicitly,
but by shedding the resistance within the minds of the individuals.

[Edit]

Features of true community

Characteristics of a genuine community

M. Scott Peck describes the characteristics of a true community as follows:

Inclusivity, commitment and consensus	Members accept and embrace each other, celebrating their individuality and transcending their differences. They commit themselves to the effort and the people involved. They make decisions and reconcile their differences through consensus.
Realism	Members bring together multiple perspectives to better understand the whole context of the situation. Decisions are more well-rounded and humble, rather than one-sided and arrogant.
Contemplation	Members examine themselves. They are individually and collectively self-aware of the world outside themselves, the world inside themselves, and the relationship between the two.
A safe place	Members allow others to share their vulnerability, heal themselves, and express who they truly are.
A laboratory for personal disarmament	Members experientially discover the rules for peacemaking and embrace its virtues. They feel and express compassion and respect for each other as fellow human beings.
A group that can fight gracefully	Members resolve conflicts with wisdom and grace. They listen and understand, respect each others' gifts, accept each others' limitations, celebrate their differences, bind each others’ wounds, and commit to a struggle together rather than against each other.
A group of all leaders	Members harness the "flow of leadership" to make decisions and set a course of action. It is the spirit of community itself that leads and not any single individual.
A spirit	The true spirit of community is the spirit of peace, love, wisdom and power. Members may view the source of this spirit as an outgrowth of the collective self or as the manifestation of a Higher Will.

Constructive developmental framework – Robert Kegan

The evolution of one's sense of self

An individual evolves in a series of stages through their lifetime. Human evolution is defined, driven and "controlled" alternately by two conflicting main motivations: 1. being autonomous and 2. belonging to a group.

༺༻	Self-concept – one's sense of self	Developmental time frame
Stage·1	Purely impulse or reflex-driven	Infancy and early childhood
Stage 2	Ruled by one's needs and wishes. Needs and wishes of others are relevant only to the extent that they support those of the person. Effectively the person and others inhabit two "separate worlds".	Childhood to adolescence
Stage 3	One's sense of self is socially determined, based on the real or imagined expectations of others	Post-adolescence
Stage 4	One's sense of self is determined by a set of values, authored for oneself	Only in adulthood Rarely achieved
Stage 5	One's sense of self is no longer bound to any particular aspect of oneself or one's history. One is free to allow oneself to focus on the flow of one's life.	Ageless

Robert Keagan's Constructive developmental framework (CDF) holds that people are rarely precisely at a single stage but more accurately are distributed over a range where they are subject to the conflicting influences of a higher and a lower stage. During the "social-emotional" stage 3 an individual makes meaning of their experience in the social world.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Robert Keagan's book The Evolving Self is the theoretical integration of three very different intellectual traditions:
1. Humanistic and existential-phenomenological tradition¹⁹,
2. Neo-psychoanalytic tradition ²⁰,
3. Constructive-developmental tradition²¹

The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind – computer programmers who could crank code, lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers. But the keys to the kingdom are changing hands.
The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning-makers.

Four response categories of women – Ellie Drake

Effects of adrenaline and oxytocin on the human feminine physiology

Rather than competing women are natural givers in life and business, who naturally cooperate and collaborate with others.
Success is networking, developing relationships and taking action.
The bonding hormone oxytocin instills the 'tend and befriend' behavior. It can be secreted on demand
by activating the parasympathetic system by trusting the process, exhaling and relaxing the chest area.

༺༻	Category	Hormone	Expression	Production Nervous system Brain	Description
1.	Survival Inhaling Fight·or·flight mode	Adrenaline / Testosterone Expressly male	Separation Freedom Achieving Prosperity	Sympathetic nervous system	✓ Surviving in a competitive corporate environment ✓ Seen as rather aggressive ✓ Adrenaline is incongruent to a female body, leads to biochemical confusion.²²
2.	Resentment mode	Male			✓ Come across super-sensitive ✓ Consumed in the manifestation struggle ✓ Still learning to discern their feelings to those of others
3.	Flow mode	Female			✓ Following their instincts ✓ Tapped into their courage ✓ Resulting in some positive and synchronistic incidents ✓ Lack of congruence, consis- tency, magnetism, inner power, authentic behavior

4.

7-step model for conflict resolution – Stewart Levine

Resolving conflict – Stewart Levine's model

Step	Action	Description
1.	Have·the·attitude·of·resolution.	Get in the frame of mind to be willing to resolve conflict. Focus on what the conflict is costing everyone and what everyone can gain from a resolution. Stop thinking of conflict as a win/lose proposition. Arguing over who's right often does not lead to a resolution that anyone wants. Open up and be truthful. Commit to and invest yourself in the process.
2.	Tell your story and listen to the story of the other side.	Resolution arises from sharing information, while conflict arises from withholding it.
3.	Listen for a preliminary vision of resolution.	As you get more information, check to make sure that your vision meets the concerns of all the parties involved.
4.	Get current and complete information on the issues.	You must be up-to-date in order to move forward with a resolution.
5.	Reach an agreement in principle.	Come to a broad understanding of what the resolution will be.
6.	Craft the new agreement.	Create a template for agreement including the following elements: Intent, specific vision, roles, commitments to action, timeline, measurements of satisfaction, concerns and fears, renegotiation, dissolution, consequences, dispute resolution, and management of the process.
7.	Celebrate the resolution.

Crucial tipping points of the ages of evolution – Carl Johan Calleman

Fifth Day – Successions: Solar System ⇒ Transition to land ⇒ Color Vision ⇒ Fire ⇒ Culture / Art ⇒
Christianity's rise ⇒ Automation ⇒ ?
Fifth Night – Successions: Meteor Bombardment ⇒ Perm-Triassic extinction ⇒ ? ⇒ Ice Age ⇒ Extinction of Neanderthals ⇒ Dark Ages ⇒ World War II ⇒ Worldwide Financial Meltdown and Recession 2008 ⇒
Splitting of the Worlds

Turnaround at the Fifth Day / Fifth Night of the Cycle

Nine longterm evolutionary cycles run each through 13 stages /
Wave movements comprising 7 'days' (Emerging) and 6 'nights' (Implementing) of the nine Underworlds.
Each of the succeeding cycles gets condensed by 20 times
less the amount of evolutionary time compared to the prior level.
The change of tendency in an age happens at the Fifth Day followed by the debris of the Fifth Night.

Step	Cycle / Level	Fifth Day Occurence Beg Midpoint Uplifting	Fifth Night Occurence End Midpoint Traumatic	Time Frame
1.	Chemical / Cellular	Solar System	Meteor Bombardment	Beginning 16.4 billion years ago

Thirteen divine forces of evolution – Maya / Aztek mythology

Thirteen divine forces of evolution according to the Maya and Aztek
Carl Johan Calleman

Acceleration of cycles – Speeding up
Creation – time as it were – is speeding up. Every Underworld is twenty times shorter than the one it is built upon. It took 15 billion years for the first cells to come into existence, whereas the internet came about in a very short time.
According to ancient Mayan teachings there are Nine Underworlds in the Cosmos. This fundamental step model is visibly expressed by the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent in Chichen-Itza, the Pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal and the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, which were all built with Nine different stories.

Stage	Day / Night	God / Goddess	Time Frame
1.	1. Day	The god of fire and time
2.	1. Night	The god of earth
3.	2. Day	The goddess of water
4.	2. Night	The god of the sun and the warriors
5.	3. Day	The goddess of love and childbirth
6.	3. Night	The god of death
7.	4. Day	The god of lowers
8.	4. Night	The god of rain and war
9.	5. Day	The lord of the light
10.	5. Night	The lord of darkness

Ten spiritual realms in Buddhism

The ten worlds of Buddhism

The six lower worlds

Externally determined

༺༻	Consciousness stage	Legend
1.	Hell	Suffering and despair, no freedom of action perceived, impulse to destroy oneself and everything around
2.	Hungry ghosts	Driven mercilessly by inherent insatiable desire for money, status, power, and more unable to control one's cravings
3.	Animality	Law of the jungle ruled by instinct, neither reason nor moral sense nor the ability to make long-range judgments. Taking advantage of the weaker creatures, fawn the stronger ones
4.	Anger	Awareness of selfish, greedy, distorted ego, feeling threatened, determined to best others, feeling superior, holding others in contempt
5.	Humanity Tranquillity	Generally behaving in a humane fashion, highly vulnerable to strong external influences, flat, nice, passive state of life
6.	Heaven Rapture	Intense short-lived joy, fulfillment of some desire, sense of physical well-being, inner contentment, vulnerable to external influences

The four noble worlds

Internally guided – Deliberate effort
Two vehicles (7./8.) – Highest human potential (9./10)

༺༻	Effort	Consciousness stage	Legend
7.	Vehicle	Learning	Seeking the truth through the teachings or experience of others
8.	Vehicle	Realization	Seeking the truth not through others' teachings but through our own direct experience of the world, embodying realization

9.	Highest potential	Bodhisattva Completion of the nine worlds from hell to Bodhisattva	Altruistic behavior, concious of interconnectedness, serving for the good of all, devoted to alleviating suffering, aspiring enlightenment, determined to enable other beings to do the same
10.	Highest potential	Buddhahood Consummate SELF	Enlightened to the ultimate truth of life, infinite compassion, boundless wisdom, dynamic state of freedom from karmic bonds, resolving harmoniously seemingly insoluble contradictions

Sephirot in the Jewish Kaballah

Ten Sefirot arranged in three columns,
with 22 paths of connection of three types

Ten Sefirot as process of Creation

The medieval Lurianic cosmology of Jewish mysticism of the 16th century presents the ten sefirot as principles, emanating like cascades from the Creator into the Four Worlds. The purpose of these ways to reveal the Divine will is to create the universe. Transforma-
tion as in evolution is not directly issued by God but by the ability/grace of man to become aware of God.

The ten Sephirot and the indwelling Shechinah Presence are related to the energy of the Divine Male and Female, represented in the union of Jewish marriage.
The metaphor for Divine interrelationships on High represented by 10 Sephirot (expressed as 11 principles) and the 22 connective channels resulting in "32 Paths of Wisdom" is im-
printed in man's soul. The task of Adam-Man is to eventually embody all harmonised forces which is to perform Yichud-"Union" of Male and Female Divinity on High and to redeem exiled Sparks of Holiness of the Shechinah from material Kelipot.

༺༻	Sephirot	Description	Remark
1.	*Keter including Daat()**	Supernatural crown, representing above-conscious will	Conscious and unconscious dimensions of ONE principle
2.	Chochmah	Highest potential of thought
3.	Binah	Understanding of the potential
4.	*Daat()**	Intellect of knowledge	Unconscious dimension of the ONE principle
5.	Chesed	Loving-kindness	Also known as Gedolah-greatness
6.	Gevurah	Severity/strength	Also known as Din-justice or Pachad-fear
7.	Rachamim	Mercy	Also known as Tiphereth
8.	Netzach	Victory/eternity
9.	Hod	Glory/splendour
10.	Yesod	Foundation
11.	Malkuth	Kingdom

Conscious competence learning model

The four stages of acquiring competence

༺༻	Level·of·competence	Legend
1.	Unconscious incompetence	The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.
2.	Conscious incompetence	Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.

3.	Conscious competence	The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.
4.	Unconscious competence	The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

Dunning–Kruger effect = Self-awareness deficit of incompetents = Lack of "knowing thyself"

[Paraphrased summary] Incompetent ignorant Westerners (not Easterners or Resteners) cannot know they're incompetent or deny their lack of skill, experience and knowledge (incompetence).
Much incorrect self-assessment of competence of Americans is due to the ignorance of the standards of performance of an activity (such as reading comprehension, motor-vehicle operation, playing chess or tennis, practice of medicine).
Justin Kruger and David Dunning's research on patterns of overestimation of competence
at Cornell University (1999) indicated that incompetent Westerners will:

➤ fail to recognize their own lack of skill,

➤ fail to recognize the extent of their inadequacy,

➤ fail to accurately gauge skill in others,

➤ recognize and acknowledge their lack of skill only after being exposed to formal training in that skill.

➤ The skills needed to produce a solution coincide with the skills needed to recognize what a right answer is.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. […]
Distrustful sense with modest caution speaks;
It still looks home, and short excursions makes;
But ratling nonsense in full follies breaks;
Alexander Pope (1688-1744) English translator, poet, neoclassic writer,
first major poem An Essay on Criticism, lines 626-628, 1711

Steps – Poem by Hermann Hesse

Steps

Ladder to heaven

As every blossom fades
and all youth sinks into old age,
so every life's design, each flower of wisdom,
attains its prime and cannot last forever.
The heart must submit itself courageously
to life's call without a hint of grief,
A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.

High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as to a home,
the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us
but raise us higher, step by step.
Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life
have we establish a house, then we grow lax;
only he who is ready to journey forth
can throw old habits off.

Maybe death's hour too will send us out new-born
towards undreamed-lands,
maybe life's call to us will never find an end
Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well.
