Fragment On Life (A Short Aphorism)

 

    many utilitarians, at least nowadays ones advocate for something similar to this. I'm not a utilitarian, because I tend to believe that most moral theories come from, for lack of a better word, the idea that everyone is allotted, the good or bad motives they implore on their fellow men (or women), which by logical extension, should guarantee how well or terribly, their individual lives will unfold before the universe. that's why prisons tend to be full of repeat offenders. they are a product of what they implore on the lives of other people. that does not guarantee that they will rise to the cream of the crop, as a just world to which one would allow, one of the issues I take with subjects like "terror management theory", is that life, pre-life and post-life are really just an endless process which tenatively has no beginning nor end, and I don't think mere psychology is enough to see beyond what is simply cognitive, instead of universal. its quite selfish to think that everyone should avoid a "death drive" when death is such a small part of human existence, the process of existence is massive, and disordered, and means different things to different objects, minds and spaces and even biomes. therefore we must try and order what we can and leave the rest to what exists outside of immediate experience.
