Comparison repetitious enough but necessary between two types of written civilizations

Comparison repetitious enough but necessary between two types of written civilizations

WRITING from the right to the left (male right-handers)

1) We start then from the side of the hand of the writer (consonants facing the consonants = development of men),

2) We pass in front of the first center (consonants facing vowels = sexual, intellectual relationships, and the like, with women),

3) and in front of the second center (consonants facing consonants = intellectual, affective, and the like, relationships with the male element : the chief, the Supreme masculine God)

but we STOP here since we do not pass in front of the second member (consonants facing vowels = development of women) and we do not go to the outside thereafter, since there are NO VOWELS.

We are blocked in the CENTER where Allah and the chief are situated, without going to the other sex and without permitting development of women. It is a BLOCKING and a CENTRALIZATION.

Consequently, we start by developing ourselves (men facing men) without being preoccupied by the other sex, then we have relationships (on the intellectual and sexual planes) with the other sex (women), without any public representation of the latter since there are no vowels, and we pass to relationships with other men, God, the chief.

We are BLOCKED after the second central level (development of the relationships with individuals of our own sex or oneself : the men, masculine God). As this development of hierarchic or religious communications takes place after relationships with the women (= vowels), who are not visible and play no role in the public life, these relationships are not exclusive and resemble polygamy (no equality between the sexes).

Furthermore, the movement of the writer to the inside is a movement in the SPACE (nomadism) rather than in time to the future, since one cannot return to the origin of TIME (= from the first to the second hand, i.e. from the individual to the mother).

As said before, we see here a polygamous society excluding women from the public life, moving in the space (nomadism) and BLOCKED on the male principle of the CHIEF and the GOD. We can even say that sometimes they try to return to the origin (utopic dream of governmental, or else, perfection).

WRITING from left to right (male right-handers)

As already said a “Muslim” Country, Turkey, benefits from a double culture since Atatürk, another great genius, decided to use the Arabic writing or even Latin writing for the religion and adopt the Latin writing for the rest, among which the Turkish language.

Without entering into the details already mentioned in chapter “Writing directions” we see that :

1) we start from the second hand (consonants facing vowels = educational development of women),

2) we pass in front of the first center (consonants facing the consonants = intellectual, religious development relationships, and the like, with the men, the male God, the chief),

3) thereafter, in front of the second center (consonants facing vowels = sexual, intellectual relationships, and the like, with women or female God),

4) and finally, we finish by passing in the front of the first hand (consonants facing consonants = educational development of men) by directing the hand, and going out, to the outside.

Since the central relationships are equal there is an idea of monogamy (contrary to the religious Arabic “culture”) and since the direction of writing goes from the second hand (origin) to the first there is displacement (in time) to the future. NO BLOCKING IN THE CENTER since we continue to the outside.

Summarizing, we have here a monogamous society, including women in the public life, moving with time to the future and DECENTRALIZED from the male principle of chief (thus giving an idea of Republic) and of an only God (even giving an idea of polytheism).
