Thinking Humanity Misery

More From Benjamin Franklin

I don't see [the jungle] so much erotic. i see it more full of obscenity. it's just - nature here is vile and base. i wouldn't see anything erotical here. i would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and growing and just rotting away. of course, there's a lot of misery. but it is the same misery that is all around us. the trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. i don't think they sing. they just screech in pain.
Pain Fighting Thinking
The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.
Change Suffering Three
Humanity looks upon jesus the nazarene as a poor-born who suffered misery and humiliation with all of the weak. and he is pitied, for humanity believes he was crucified painfully. . . . and all that humanity offers to him is crying and wailing and lamentation. for centuries humanity has been worshiping weakness in the person of the savior. the nazarene was not weak! he was strong and is strong! but the people refuse to heed the true meaning of strength.
Jesus Strong Believe
Prophet may you be! if i be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
Memories Hair Cities
Modern man has no real "value" for the ocean. all he has is the most crass form of egoist, pragmatic value for it. he treats it as a "thing" in the worst possible sense, to exploit it for the "good" of man. the man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real value. but for the christian the value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because god made it.
Christian Real Believe
Either christianity is true or it's false. if you bet that it's true, and you believe in god and submit to him, then if it is true, you've gained god, heaven, and everything else. if it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. if you bet that christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. but if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.
