Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Today, human civilization is drowning in a sea of lies.
The Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth. It leads us into thinking we're sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we're not.
In believing too much in rationality, our contemporaries have lost something.
People who cannot recognize a palpable absurdity are very much in the way of civilization.
Most human beings today waste some 25 to 30 years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
If we were to abandon concern for what is true, what is false, and what remains indeterminate, the world would be totally chaotic. Even those who deny the importance of truth, on the one hand, are quick to jump on anyone who is caught lying.
Try as I do to comprehend the human project and my part in it, I am further than ever from understanding the monstrous everyday things that seem like self-evident truths and existential necessities to so many.
I do believe as human beings we are a great mass of contradictions.
Human beings are the only creatures who are able to behave irrationally in the name of reason.
