Why not, after all? Zero 04/28/2025 (Mon) 12:59 [Preview] No. 3 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
The inner and outer workings. The imperfections. Why?
Why could the human world not have formed in any other way, and why do so few of its inhabitants fight the flaws it possesses? Why should we not?
Well, we're used to the convenience. Most of the people here would likely give up freedom for pleasure. The reptilian thinking. Why is momentary pleasure so much more important than long-term greatness?

The answer most likely lies in our hormonal regulation of emotions. An imperfection that mother nature has gifted us with, I suppose. And society forces us to fight what's natural at the same time as it turns us into its slaves. For example. Quick dopamine from social media, then you have to work a 9 to 5 to death, which only strengthens our dependence through contrast. We suffer and need more. I say, that is quite a decent strategy. And a bit too amoral for the morality of said humanity society.

Well, that brings me to othe final why. Why not fight it? Why not go against the flow?

Why?

The question which must be asked of everything, the necessary step to transition to a higher mental state where one can operate introspectively and externally from the normal world and perception.

Why is it that we act that way which we do?
Why do we concern ourselves with the matters present within our mind?
Why do we react to external stimuli in the way that we do?

And to the answers of these questions will the question of "Why" be asked of them once again.
