Respect is what, from a point, refers to a person or thing. Considers that nothing is absolute, everything is relative.
According to the issues raised by the great scientist Albert Einstein, “the basic assumption of the theory of relativity, is that the location of the physical events, both in time and in space, are related to the State of motion of the observer: thus, the length of a moving object or the moment when something happens, unlike what happens in Newtonian mechanics” , are not invariant, absolute, and different.
Heraclitus developed thoughts that can be linked to relativity.
“The cold heats and cools the hot;” dry the wet and the dry wet.” No one can deny this, is an indisputable law
There is always something warmer and somewhat more cold”the designation of”hot”and”cold”are relative and are determined by the temperature that we use for comparison. When we say “hot”, there may be a warmer temperature than we feel, also happens with “cold”.
“In the same rivers we swim and not bathed in them” is clear that the river is the same, but the water that passes through this means that we are always in a different water.
Chinese philosophers also developed thoughts that relate to relativity.
In the year 79 BC, was a Conference of scholars confusianos in the enclosure of the Tiger white, in An Ch´ang, where discussed on the various schools of Chinese philosophical thinking, there were cited some ideas of Hui Shih, as:
“The sky is as low as the Earth; the mountains are at the same level as the swamps.” Very important for those who are considered superior to others.
“The Sun is getting already at noon; Each creature is dying when it is born.” Another important lesson about respect of situations that happen daily and which often are given an absolute explanation.
More close to our was, also mentioned the relativity in some texts of the classical Marxists, for example the writing of Lenin, entitled “three sources and three part of Marxism.”, it proposes:
“But Marx did not stop in the materialism of the 18th century, but it took the philosophy further. He enriched it with acquisitions of classical German philosophy, especially of the system of Hegel, that, in turn, had led to the materialism of Feuerbach. The largest of these acquisitions is the dialectical, i.e. the doctrine of development in its fullest form, more profound and more free of unilateralism, the doctrine of the relativity of human knowledge, which gives us a reflection of the subject in constant development.”
Relativity determines, that when something or someone, be right, Center or left, might be in a different position which considers.
Center is on the left of the right and the left is to the right of the Center. The Center may not be the Center, depending on the point of reference that you take.
The imperialists know this perfectly. They try to strengthen what they consider right.
The left, try to divide it, weaken it, between Center and left, with the aim of being more vulnerable to their subversive actions.
The unit of the forces fighting against the Empire is the most important. differences and criteria that might be antagonistic, among the revolutionaries, will have its moment of analysis, when the danger to the revolution is not dormant.
First to strengthen us and move forward together, to destroy the nonsense promoted by the enemy in order to divide us.
