There's more than one side to the coin, you know...

As I passionately take pleasure in the art of procrastination and lounging out a wet day, thoughts blast out of naught. So randomly comes to mind the degradation of the human race, and how far we sink with each passing moment. Rules have been raised to keep our sense of morality up, but it seems that those rules vary from region to region, as I have noticed in my various trips.

When rules collide with other rules, you know something is wrong and if it keeps up that way some serious damage will be wrought. Cultures prone different values to other cultures, it is understandable, but as, for the first time ever, a civilization encompassing the world (thanks to high speed telecommunication) we should have the duty of ending one curse, suffering.

But do we? What a dream. Wished for by billions of hearts and minds, it's just a prayer that won't ever fall on through to the other side. We've been in existence since the beginning of consciousness, we've had the time, why haven't we stopped it yet?

Because we don't want stop it. In the deepest ditch of humanity lies the actions of irrationality. Push someone over the edge and he'll lose his head. Greed, hate and fear are feelings as natural to us as joy and indifference. We constantly attempt to better ourselves as humans under the rights of Thelema for we have the will to do so, but those so called “vices” are completely impossible to eradicate because they are just part of us.

The greedy capitalist slob dominates his world and the communist angel wants to end his reign of tyranny, but in the darkest gutter of his heart he has other intentions than to do good. Freud gave us the gift of the sub-conscious but those negative “unconscious thoughts” filter on through. Desires are often left unscathed by our mind control, so why should the desire of power be repressed? If others in the perfect capability of doing so wished to see suffering end, why is it not ended yet?

As nature intended do what thou wilt is the one and only law, the law of survival that perpetrates our safe and sound moral values. Good and bad have and must coexist. Suffering, no matter how much effort we give to it's demise, is forever. Even in the day that the stricken arise there shall be suffering. It's like that and that's the way it is.
Huh!
