Lucy fears the morning star

Well, now.

Once again, I have been reminded that people are not interested in how things are. The subjective first person perspective laced with galactic proportions of self-deception, and how one "feels" about things and how they are, seems to be the preferred choice of tackling real life situations. The core and the essence of what-has-happened, why, and serving what purpose, are avoided and then nullified by senseless ad-hoc and ad-hominem. Nothing gets done, nothing gets resolved. The center of personal gravity is not held as the tail wags the dog. Actually, there is no person, no center, just different personalities arguing and fighting in a single input/output matrix. One would be wise to remember that everything a human being does has its origins in selfish motives. The utmost glorification and manifestation of this id-driven abomination is Satanism, or ethical egoism, and all the "philosophies" of that kind. It is an insult to call the aforementioned a "philosophy/ies", because they involve absolutely nothing that resembles higher multi-lateral thinking, thought even in its most rudimental form, or reason for that matter. They are all about fulfilling personal needs and desires: I want, I need, I will. And, it really does not matter if there is any real premise behind any of the desires. They are real because someone thought or felt them? They are good because they feel good? I am what I am and I do not need to adjust my output in any way, or re-adjust my worldview as a fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual? The rest of the world should just adjust to these fallacies? I don't think so. It is curious to note that Satanism, or ethical egoism, emphasizes the fact that a human being (in its lowest manifestation) is essentially an animal fulfilling its desires. It apparently also means voluntarily giving up human rights, correct? You have been wronged or mistreated? Call the fucking WWF or PETA.  

What sets apart any higher being from the aforementioned is reason and diligence, and the will and willingness to manifest, cultivate, and further develop the faculties of reason and diligence. Reason and diligence then, if allowed to manifest, will transmutate into complete inner architecture. The inner architecture allows a single person, a complete mind, to inhabit a single input/output matrix, namely, a body. It should not matter if an inner architecture is born or bred, in a sense genetic or environmental, in its origin. A complete mind as a single person driven by reason and diligence, as opposed to id-driven mess, will become a responsible being. A responsible being has the potential to obtain a high enough level-of-participation-to-this-world to Be. To Be, as opposed to lingering, drifting, and merely existing. With high enough level-of-participation-to-this-world arrives respect, kindness and goodwill towards other beings.  

I have observed people willing to piss away everything worth existing for, for a distorted view of reality and a half-assed feeling that is subject to change. I have observed people willing to destroy everything they claim to love for a fantasy. I have observed utter waste of resources and chances given out of love, selflessness, generosity and sacrifice, and I have observed all that being thrown back to the face of the benefactor as an insult.

But then, we can do whatever we like, provided we can pay the bill.
