Monism, pluralism, fear, morality, enemies, logic, and intuition

***

Monism demands explanation of the world. Pluralism accepts ambiguity.

Even omnibenevolence is terrifying to the terrified. Fear precludes divinity.

Morality exists for individual, not social well-being. An evil deed travels far in the conduit of a man's being.

Morality is wrongly judged in its social context and consequences, and avoids its true effect upon the individual. The western study of 'ethics' gestalts the definition of morality.

If a man's aspirations are not worldly, he renounces justification.

Man cannot live without enemies. In their absence, friends become odious.

The profoundest logical conclusions are either disproven or, more often, deemed irrelevant by intuition.
