So, why might it be that an integral part of man’s very essence is for him to engage in endless self-abuse?
Myths/religions say it is because he is flawed and knows it. Psychologies claim it is due to repressed traumas; political/economic theories say it is due to inequitable social structures, and so on. While everyone knows these are all unsatisfying, there is yet another possibility that never comes to mind. A possibility so subtle and simultaneously astounding that man cannot normally even think of it.
It is at the very edge of reality. Eight words that point directly as can be to the missing possibility – that when realized, make everything in the universe fall into place.
Pursue the question:
“What could possibly be a reason that I have never heard of, that would explain man’s all encompassing, endless self-abuse? What could there be about man that he himself is not normally aware of, that if true, would explain this self-abuse?” (And unexpectedly, everything else.)
The end.
(Even when man is at what he considers to be his most intellectually pathetic, he can still do things that nothing else he is aware of in the entire universe can do.)
