The curse of language and other scattered thoughts (Other) by Y2kSlamPoet
- "Life is perhaps a serious game, but I am certain to understand at least one of its trivialities, so I need not worry of loss since I have nothing of value to lose, and there is no limit to what I think I can gain. Lets hope that I eventually manifest something real and worth acquiring." Man is by nature alone a vicious beast; only by descending into the darkest depths of depraved thought and action can humanity begin to comprehend the true nature of whats "right" and "wrong". In time I've found that such distinctions are the product of a delusional mind. Cause & Effect will ultimately alter the distinction between "right" & "wrong". Only by intelligently considering the end result of an action can one then judge the act, then deem it to be criminal and wrong, or worthy of praise; something that is truly virtuous and beneficial. Human imperfection, specifically human emotion and erroneous opinion/ belief, perverts our ability to perceive the true nature of an act, its effect, its final end result, and whether it's "right" or "wrong". My imperfect thought, though mostly open to all aspects, leads me to conclude that there is no such thing as sin or impure acts in actuality; theres only unsound and ignorant men oblivious to the Cause, Effect, and Result of what they choose to do. To be simple and summary: our greatest flaws is selfishness, stupidity, delusions of knowing, believing actions to have static results, and manifesting a system of fallacious morality. The result is the creation of ethical laws, laws penned in an attempt to prevent discord and pain. From that comes the governing guide that disapproves of anything that could subvert the stability of words written for others to obey without reservation or question. What's most amusing is the dullness caused by acceptance of social morals, brainwashing the timid, naive, or blindly patriotic, manipulating them into believing that pleasure itself is sinful and wrong. This includes various methods, plants, and chemicals often used to achieve blissful corruption. The crime committed is achieving the sensation of bliss; so propaganda teaches citizens to seek happiness through abstinence. It's quite hilarious, isn't it?. Avoiding all those nasty pleasurable acts and tools of bliss, under the guise of seeking "virtuous" well-being and felicity-- which consequently only adds fuel to a man or womans "wicked and sinful" hunger. So, in time almost every person will act on their desires, then deny ever having indulged in them, or anything even considered evil and branded with the curs'd name of "sin". Soon all this leads eccentric religious folks to come up with a system of unwavering and divine forgiveness, or what I prefer to call: "Faith therapy for free, minus any donations given to the roman collar'd whore thats holding the blue flower shoe box like a zombied orphan Oliver." Finally there is a way for one to erase his or her crimes, and all "acts of sin.", but in a delusionary sense. In short, it is a cretins dim- witted cure for avoiding any psychologically crippling guilt found amongst those who are bound in slavery to faith. The result is irresponsible men/women of perverse or clouded conscience. Minds that can not clearly discern, detect, or even reasonably judge what acts are cruel, and ill-hearted or acts that are well-meaning and helpful. All faiths are supposedly guides for achieving inner peace and the bliss of Heaven, Paradise, Eden, Elysium, Atman or whatever religiously defined afterlife you prefer. Some scriptures claim to unveil divine insight, something that can be done while immersed in the mystic experience or talismanic influences spawned from countless myriad rituals initiated with a diverse and very distinct motley of wizardly incantations. Over time, this plethora of valid, potent truth, written in the texts is simply combined into ten or more individual, polysemantic sayings. Most doctrines of thought/spirit include them. Though there is a difference in wording and expression, they all stand for the same things-- but all of them are unfortunately ill-defined; nothing more than spoken puzzles manifested as multi-faceted and warped axioms, born from the use of adynamic languages randomly branched or altered heavily over centuries or decades. The most shared need or justification for communication is power. Cooperative planning and execution strengthens the probability of survival among two or more psyches united by necessity, so they are better able to distort the natural order and fixed aspects of their environment. Then an after-effect of nature, of evolution, introduces competition which gives rise to selfish goals that manifests the infinite faces of man's greed. Flawed human communication is an unclear, tainted mode of expression. Nearly all human thought or motive has a measured aspect or context of human gluttony and/or envy. Unhindered growth in awareness will lead to a psychological, spiritual, and social revolution; unfortunately, evolution usually comes slow and in small leaps. I don't claim to really know anything, so I may be a fool indeed, but one who knows of it at least. We are all fools when born, our perception formed by naivety; but I've learned to understand what I see and experience, not what I pretend to know. [Yes, I'm still assimilating.] The nature of wisdom is drunk on its own idealized character; thus I don't seek it, since wisdom is what can't be understood, only vaguely known; once it's clearly comprehended, it no longer seems wise, but painfully obvious.
