DC Tom Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 just got done watching dinner with andre... sorta scary, our lack of honesty in our lives. so what do we do? We post about it on football boards, thinking that we might somehow find some spiritual fulfillment in the internet. Or at least find it with less effort than it takes to leave mom's basement and go outside for an hour. What the hell is wrong with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Strip away all the social conventions, masks, layers of deceipt and repression and you are likely to find, not so much an actualized/enlightened spiritual being, but a primitive infantile selfish monster. I still think it’s a noble endeavor, “finding oneself.” It’s just that the reality is a lot messier psychologically than some may want to believe. i think people at their core are good. when i mean good, i say yes we are imperfect, and we are jealous, selfish, but we know this.... it is our social contructs that hide this, ie, the problem is exacerbated by our society. e.g. the oppression of women, was never realized, because of these false social constructs. ( a man and woman would still have problems, but artifiicial power structures not justified, created more of a problem)...

Humans aren't inherently good or bad. We just are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ... I need a translation of this. Allow me to paraphrase. People are fundamentally positive at their center, albeit solidly flawed. We acknowledge this. It is the confines of society, however, which conceal that which we plainly acknowledge, thereby agitating the problem ie: oblivious domestic violence, false constructs, cats and dogs (although they would still fight, but defined roles have amplified the species/gender struggle). If that doesn't make sense then simply compound the indefinite interest on your imaginary fiat, comrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony being that that observation is in very large part an answer to your original post... and i never asserted meaning of life from a bbmb... its simply a conversation. not the answer, yes, i agree. but still important... imo starting to read heidegger, which is a very hard read... ( for me)... any insight would be welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
