The Root

Late nights wax me philosophically so wtf, why not.

Is there a elemental, root cause for our fkps as a species?

Buddhist, at least I don't think, don't believe in evil. However, they state that the ROOT of all human suffering is DESIRE. That we want, demand or seek more than we should.

On the other hand, Xtians go even further. According to them, we should not only surrender our desires, but our entire essence as well. They say "die unto yourself" and basically live as a foot or arm attached to the body of JC, devoid of any personal motivation other than to remain attached. Again, it seems, xtians claim the root of evil is being selfish.

So, at humanity's most basic level it fears Independence, free-thought, etc. And, more deeply, people fear desire. And out of that fear, does some pretty fkp stuff that could only make sense in Greek tragedy. They try to suppress, control, and steer it at every turn only to wonder why it doesn't lay down and die. And worse, they wonder at the deformed creature their own oppression helped to create.

Here is a little snippet I often reffer to that points out just how unadvanced humanity is. On the surface, it may not seem to relate to this post, but it sums up a lot.

Physicians, in terms of modern medical practice, have to poison the body to cure cancer. Kind of reminds one of leeches, don't it?
