Albert Camus, Nietzsche, the overman, God, eros, and agape
"Man must yield himself wholly to the divine will, even though it passed his understanding." Albert Camus
"What's natural is the microbe. All the rest- health, integrity, purity- is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter." Albert Camus, from The Plague
Confusion is hell, and hell is confusion. Desire is the gatekeeper.
We are fetal overmen, as in Nietzsche's Overman. The Overman knows divinity is immanent, not external.
Freud's 'ego' is the desire of the self, mutually exclusive from the desire's of the body.
Metaphor outshines reason.
It is in relation that man can be most selfless, and most selfish.
Life is a gift, not a reward.
And since truths are always your own, it is better to live with them, than without them.
How can we look at others and see intention and will. Even if they could answer the 'why' of their actions, their answers would still be condemned to the realm of human possibility, which is reactive, not active, and only retrospectively sensical.
Anger is a misunderstanding, a viewpoint.
Eros wants, agape gives.
"Hell is the deprivation of God's presence." Somerset Maugham
"...hell is not realizing God's presence." Alan Watts, from Behold the Spirit Therefore, "...in the prophetic writings 'sons of [God]' means 'of the nature of' [God]."
