Michael considered fate at 22:34   |   Permalink   |   Post a Comment
It is no question that humans are entirely horrible, horrible people. We are, in no question whatsoever, an awful group. It is no wonder, really, that most of the world's religions - whether familiar with eachother or not - all developed some sense of evil or sin. We are, emphatically, ruthless.

But that's nature, ain't it? Animalistic to the core. We might spruce it up with technology and cash but we're still the same wrestling gorillas underneath. Point is: we're out to survive.

No more animalistic than a deer sliping on the ice of a frozen lake or a fly shaking in the web. No, we are mother nature's son.

So for better or worse, we are what we are - always try to be the best that we can at what we do because nature tells we need to be, need to have more, because there has to be conflict - there has to be a strain on the system or else it will not grow, it will not rise.

So we're just awful to eachother. We treat one another like there is no such thing as respect and we abuse any and all trustful bonds that might have ever been built.

Then, when we're alone late at night the spooks come out to haunt us, the moral fiber kicks in - the thing that feelings are made of - and we can't understand the jungle even though we've been living in it for millions of years.

Gorillas.

Somewhere in it all there is order in some sense or another. Mathematical fractals. Some odd form of bi-dimensional calculus that explains the cosmos and, more importantly, us in it. But space is a big place and we might just not be looking at it from the right angle.. it might take us awhile to figure things out.

So I guess we're stuck with evil and sin in the meantime. It's just something our animalistic nature gives us. Sure, it's the stuff that soap operas are made of, But that doesn't mean we have to embrace it. In our ultimate struggle for life, we should collapse upon the chance to outfox mother nature. We should take responsibility. Accept our fate, but march to the chopping block with a little class, pride, and compassion.

Accept our fate as human beings.
