The most astoundingly overlooked feature of this whole affair, is man’s total, unquestioned belief that his qualitative judgments of life have any validity; any remotely reasonable, rational basis. The small time examples are everywhere you look.
Everywhere that man speaks is so common as to have become part of the scenery. Consider now, just the big one – the big, huge, gigantic, universal, all-encompassing, totally inescapable mother-idiot-example of all smaller-moronic ones, the uncountered, embarrassingly stupid statements by men’s minds regarding: What is wrong with life.
Run of the mill minds differ over the specifics. No ordinary man doubts the sentiment itself, that things are wrong with life…but, COMPARED TO WHAT? What does any man have to compare life to?
Nothing in man’s intellectual history asks this glaringly protruding, and simple question. Men’s minds certainly say what they do not like about life, but minds do not see, nor label these expressions as being merely its instinctive preference, but rather, minds present such statements as being objective, qualitative judgments. All men obviously know what they don’t like that goes on in life, but no man has ever known what, if anything, is wrong with what goes on in life.
Man has nothing whatever to compare life to. Any statement otherwise is normal, (and apparently necessary for life’s purposes), but such statements are insane on their face. (Men’s minds attempt to circumvent this by pretending that something outside of life, the creator of life – a god – has spoken to the minds of a few men, and told them what is wrong with life, the way men normally live it. But, this is all a game of pretend; no one’s mind actually believes such tales since the mind knows that it’s the one that made it all up in the first place.
