BurnedOut
Beloved Antichrist
I feel that there are good realities too. Good realities are what we call 'wisdom' and sad realities are what we call, well, 'Bitter Realities'.
Is there a need to draw a distinction between good and bad realities?
Furthermore, if we call wisdom 'Good realities', will it be taken less for granted?
Wisdom is looked as more of a means than an end. By that I mean, we don't seem to cherish it so much as much as we want to instinctively apply it after understanding its importance. However, we all love to cherish and feel nostalgic about 'bitter truths of life'. Logically these bitter and good truths offset each other, however, it seems culturally imbibed in us to focus more on the negative than on the positive and then shit on everyone when they actually sound or do something...negative...
I don't understand this conundrum - to believe in the bad and try to be good. So this good hopelessly morphs in the name of 'relativism' while the negative ideals remain largely the same. Then everyone bites their tongues and wince in pain, 'The world is ultimately a bad place to live in.'
What makes sense is to accept that there are good realities too and those should be accepted alongside bad ones. This will lead to more balance and less dualistic antagonistic. Nobody has to chasistize anybody for saying positive or negative on average because everybody implicitly has gone over it.
The interesting this is that we will claim that capitalism has changed all this. I think it has not really changed. Just like tiny things influence, slowly, big events, deriving volatile definitions of truth end up making one hunchbacked by the constantly looked-down-upon and looking-down-upon everybody and everything because wisdom, is well, what? Some teeny weeny sometimes-handy swiss army knife and harsh truths - some kind of wolves one should eternally be afraid of.
