You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

Triadic philosophy is a simple yet foundational
mode of thinkjng influenced by Charles Sanders Peirce
It thinks in threes
Firsts are realities rising and complete in themselves
the stuff that comes up
To name the first First Reality
is simply to identify this as the realm which bounds us
the penumbra
from which everything in thought and action proceeds
We could call it being or existence
The Top First Image above denotes Reality
Seconds are blunt truths
even brutal oppositions
what we might call our realities
But because these are the objections and questions
we bring to what rises
and because these questions all suggest values and choices
the foundational Second
may be called Ethics
The second image denotes Ethics

Thirds are the playing out of First and Second
in habits applications beliefs hypotheses
The highest standard within Ethics
is achievement of the beautiful
The third image denotes Aesthetics

There are an infinite number of Threes
that can spring from this foundation
and each of any Three can be a First or a Second
And all can be nested within
the original three

The four noble truths of Triadic Philosophy
can be expressed in many ways
but they all boil down to
statements about four words:
Tolerance, Helpfulness,
Democracy and Non-idolatry.
These words are the ontological basis
for the ethical barrier or gateway
between all human beings and
Reality on one side
and on the other the Aesthetic realm
which we occupy and where we fashion
our ongoing performance
as occupants of Earth.
These words describe the only
ascriptions of worth that
would be worth saying
if you were toting up things
you had done that made you admirable,
good, noble, etc.
You might then say:
"I have practiced tolerance
by being strong in the face of difficulties
and forgiving in the face of things I abhor
and non-judgmental toward those
with whom I profoundly disagree.
I have practiced helpfulness by keeping
my eyes open to the needs of others
and by giving of myself as I am able.
I have practiced democracy
by speaking out for humane values and rights
and by exercising my own rights
to life, dignity and freedom.
And I have stood silent and speechless
before the vast vista of Reality
which I will never,
from where I am,
grasp but which I daily affirm.
