A few almost rhetorical questions rise in regards to the last paragraph.
Do you really think that by overcoming depravity, become reasonable and remove ourselves to every facet of life which gives us most meaning, we would actually lose our humanity and thus become dull? Would that actually be a bad thing? Isn’t it true that most sufferings in the world are actually fueled by such irrationalities and by the self-proclaimed superiority as a race among all other species has given rise to those within said race of humanoid creatures to go above and beyond in order to rule over those they considered inferior?
Why is reason (in this case) seen as devoiding the individual of creative thinking and thus aesthetic inspiration? Is it because most of our history, arts, life, wars and relative peace have been fueled by such trivialities?
Isn’t it possible to reach a level of never before achieved reasoning and stoic sentiment, and yet still maintain certain self-appealed feelings such as imagination, inspiration, aesthetics and so on?
Does a highly reasoning mind succumb to self-righteousness, or does it simply apply such reason to every facet of it’s society?
There could be myriads more questions like the ones above, but I’ll stop here, and I would like to point out my personal beliefs;
a) We do not need darkness in order to appreciate the light.
b) We do not need evil to recognize goodness.
c) Certainly we do not need pain and suffering and tests thrown at us throughout our lives from so many different angles just so we can better ourselves and achieve a certain degree of enlightenment.
The world we live in, seems to have gotten everything backwards by asserting the above mentioned “beliefs” as the only way to improvement and thus giving rise to absolute moronic catch phrases such as; when you’re at the bottom, the only way is up, to which my answer is; Bitch Please!!!
