The darkest side of the Light ( 05 / 16 / 2016 )
“ The darkest side of human nature is our „ us versus them ‟ instinct . It is a form of selective sociopathy in which we place our family and close friends in a hierarchy above others . It ' s not the feelings that are „ bad ‟ -- of course it ' s great to love our families , but we also need to explode that loving shit outward to the downtrodden , to the broken-hearted , and even to the fucking enemy … And as if this hierarchy wasn ' t bad enough , our reflexive innate desire is to „ outgroup ‟ people and animals who we arbitrarily deem to be different than us . History and social studies have proven time and time again that people are easily and naturally capable of being quite cruel to any being we perceive as the OTHER .
Well , the good news is that there is a cure to such cognitive dissonance . It starts with the mind and is carried through by the „ Heart ‟ … The moment you embrace the objective truth that no-one is inherently better than any other or any more worthy of life , this is your first true chance at freedom beyond instinctive bondage . Once this Truth is realized , you can awaken your humility and rediscover your true Human Potential … Indeed , the potential Happiness of tzhe entire world depends on it . So choose your intentions wisely , my Friends .”
