Neither totally chaotic nor totally projectable (Page 2)

Posted by ManInTheMoon The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism – and their assumption of immortality. As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of man. But, if he’s reasonably strong – and lucky – he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life’s elan. Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining. The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death – however mutable man may be able to make them – our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. -Stanley Kubrick But the indifference is relieving in other scenarios. - you don't need revenge cause your enemy will have a downfall too. sooner or later. - you're made of particles and will be made into particles and from there will be another version of you. - your enemy could be made of particle which together with some of yours once belonged to the same being. Whenever I hear of children's joie de vivre, I have to think of how they are cared for by parents (well, most of them). Adults seem to be children who never get done with the tasks so that they could find five minutes of playing around. for example toturing animals. I think the root cause of our problems is overcompensation. We found out how to have food despite natural enemies, but we did not stop at that. We want to be more than a survival hero. About to lose the paradise for a third time.
