Who are the arbiters of morality? How did we come up with a set of concepts that categorise that which is GOOD and that which is EVIL? Are these concepts emergent based on circumstance? Is there some form of chemical CODE inherent within us that front-loads the propensity for GOOD? Or BAD? Or, greater still, is this inherent in the fundamental SOURCE CODE of the Universe, are these wraiths of moral BINARISM intangible representations of the very foundations of our perceptual reality? Do we even have a TRUE view of what reality ACTUALLY is? We could all be living in a simulation, or be quark analogues in an infinite sea of fundamental particles, one layer of a never ending Matryoshka sequence, or maybe we’re just the run away thought patterns of a greater being too complex and strange for us to even comprehend?
It seems a core component of human consciousness to look for a higher purpose in our existence – if we even EXIST at all. Why? Why do people feel the need to BELIEVE, to HOPE? Every day – every second – is a wonder, surely existence in and of itself should be a strong enough reason to persist? It doesn’t matter to what extent we DO exist, or where our perceptual reality fits within the greater fabric of meta-existence – maybe there are other layers of reality that our feeble electro-chemically charged meat-suits are simply not equipped to comprehend. So why bother? If it’s so incomprehensible that we can’t even PERCEIVE it, or too confounding to understand the scope from the fragment of the whole that we CAN see – does it matter? To obsess about obtaining the unobtainable is to welcome a fast-track descent into madness with open arms. We need to be careful of spending so much of our brief stint on this plane focusing on intellectual MIST that we fail to see the real BEAUTY at our very finger tips.
