About order

I want to reflect on the order created by man, his character and, more precisely, the nature of the order. It is common knowledge that order is the basis of “coexistence” with other people. We are confronted with the order since birth. The first time we encounter order is right after birth.

It is called order. Moreover, our mother through various forms of total power rules it over us. Like it or not, you get used to it. Order is the first form of dealing with the anxiety that overwhelms the mother and child from the first hours of birth. However, neither the mother nor much less the child is aware of the anxiety because of the strong affect that overwhelms it completely. In addition, to somehow cope with it, it is necessary to introduce order, whose purpose is to obtain and retain what is a priori given – security.

In this case, the ‘order’ is a kind of psychotic order, for it works with affect imaginatively. All this is true except for how the mother feels about security and whether she realizes that there is security in principle. If there is no awareness, she (the mother) thus unconsciously “trades” in the child’s safety and forces the child to become a hostage of the psychotic order, in which the mother’s unaware object reigns supreme.

There is another order, or rather an order of a different nature. It is an order that is the actual consequence of the law implementation.

It is an order of setting boundaries and introducing comfort about the self. And of particular importance here is the presence of the qualitative “other,” which will help to provide a natural internal system of the relation Subject-It-Personality. To be continued…
