Essay: Palpable Reality

 I am man. The epitome of evolution of a species developed on overcoming in order to survive. Exemplified by the tyranny of those that befall me, the incarnation of evil. To maim, desmember, violate, exsanguinate, and so many other ways we have devised in order to establish our claim on living.  


To say that I, a human, am born a blank slate that can be molded is as big a lie as the inventive ways in which we beget monsters to act for us in times of need. Starting probably at the beginning of civilization by instilling fear even in children with campfire stories about beasts roaming about in the dark toying with prey before slaughtering them for their nightly meal, and fast forward to our present times when the same children are convinced that dying for their god—in a bombing—is what must be done against all whom are disloyal.


We continue to think in evil ways, beget evil with our actions, instill hate in our young ones, and often die happy knowing all that displaced hate will live on. We truly are the pinnacle of evolution. If all that lives must die, then we are the bane which will bring it all to its demised ending with our very hands.To think negatively about any one thing without cause surely is horrible, but what is most disheartening, is knowing of this desire to get rid of the weak for the strong to rule them. There must be order to things in some scenarios, to that I do not argue, but a form of chaos for the purpose of chaos is to be expected. In the case of homo sapiens, the chaos is a practiced state believed to be the outcome of ruling or being ruled. Darwin would be appalled. 


The rule of law has become a thought experiment in which if they are not with you they are against you enforcing a totalitarian thought regime without anyone batting an eye to that to which they’ve acceded to. We are labeled and judged accordingly especially by entities that claim to be of a religious nature to which judgment is generally left to their entity of choice. As such, I argue that those who participate in those ritualistic ways of thinking, by judging have, in their brains and by right of their beliefs, become gods of their own accord; for to do is to be.


Being positive is a choice as much as being negative is. What is not a choice is the killings happening all around us, the hunger which pains so many, wars where regular families become destitute and broken by loss of property and life, sickness that can be prevented if greed were pushed aside, and so much more. To be positive is to believe that there is as some say light at the end of a proverbial tunnel in a belief where righteousness will grant you access to some celestial kingdom of peace and love. That is certainly a beautiful thought, a fantasy of the highest order, and as futile as those who try to run when a warring faction follows them with, not desire to, but intent and willingness to end them in the most pernicious of forms.


Yes, surely being negative is terrible, but accepting reality is such an impossibility. To remove the blinders we have applied to ourselves while pretending to be the salt of the earth, negating to ourselves that we are the destructive force behind all evil that exists… truly remarkable that we blame some evil entity that lies in wait roaming about in the dark toying with prey, call it a devil if you must, but remember that humans are the epitome of evolution and as such the bane in their own very palpable reality.
