“I believe that the battle only exists within ourselves. And the whole outcome of that battle is only our soul and our own future. What’s at stake is not the future of the Universe, but whether our soul gets scrapped because we have proven ourselves to be spiritually worthless or used for something greater in our future because we have proven that we can serve usefully. I believe the Universe is not set up in such a way that our vote is the required input to determine it’s future. Such a system would be doomed to failure and be inherently unworkable because we are inherently evil, the expected outcome is for most humans to cast their vote for evil (unknowingly).

I believe there is no cosmic battle between good and evil, good does not fight evil, the second it does, it sinks down to evil’s level and becomes evil. So the nature of good isn’t to fight evil or to fight at all, the closest good comes to fighting anything is its own temptations. To fight is inherently self-based. There is no fighting others if you don’t need to defend your SELF. But fighting temptation is only a metaphor of fight, there is no fight when you fight temptation, you are just reworking yourself inside. Fighting is one self fighting another self, to an outside observer, they are both equally self-obsessed. Fighting makes everyone roll in the mud. The good always lose when they roll in the mud. Do not cast pearls before swine, let the pigs stay in the mud without you or your pearls.

Furthermore, if the creator of all this is pure good, then evil has no intrinsic validity but is just a blight/cancer on the design, which can be eliminated with just an afterthought if the need arises. Evil doesn’t need to exist, good and evil is not a yin yang dichotomy. Evil is just a cancer on good, parasiting off good. The body does not need the cancer or the parasite to exist. The odds were always asymptotically 100% stacked on the side of the good, evil never had a 50% chance. Those who have proven themselves wheat will be automatically protected from the abuses of the evil and be given immense power to serve and to protect themselves effortlessly, but only after death. The creator merely tolerates evil simply to continue harvesting the few good souls that somehow manage to emerge from the cesspool that we call humanity. Humanity is overall a bad crop. We are a garden of tares with a few wheat mixed in.

So evil is tolerated for the sake of harvesting the very few wheat. But down here, from our perspective, we get all macho and stuff and believe there is a cosmic battle going on between good and evil, and our critical input is needed because we get to awesomely determine the future of the Universe. Such is our conceit. Our self-importance infects everything, corrupts everything, defiles everything, it spreads like cancer on every idea. Every idea eventually is tainted with our need to feel awesome about ourselves. It’s like a bad 80’s action movie. Every single idea humanity has is like a bad movie script where the theme of everything is that the hero wins in the end by kicking baddie ass and saves the world, funnily this happens to be how an evil mind works, because it reeks of self-worship. The world doesn’t need us. What we need is to behave. That’s all that’s needed from us, not bombastic martyrdom or playing God, we just need to prove ourselves worthy servants, not some hotshot intern who’s gonna revolutionise the workplace and invent the next iPhone.

The apocalypse is irrelevant. Every individual encounters his personal apocalypse upon his death. Judgement day happens one death at a time. Lots of humans dying simultaneously doesn’t change the way the system is designed. Repentance happens as soon as you can help it, the world is not hanging on your repentance, you are not that important to the overall scheme of things if you are evil and therefore spiritually worthless.

There is nothing to be done about it in terms of saving the world, or eliminating poverty or world hunger or eradicating malaria. These are all emanations of people who like to gaze at the mirror at their own reflections or fantasise about someday becoming super awesome by doing undeniably awesome stuff.

All that is to be done is to work on becoming good if you are evil, or becoming even more good if you are already good.

The joke was always on us. We never mattered to anyone except ourselves. We get to save ourselves, the world was always out of our hands, just like the soul of the next person standing beside us is also out of our hands. Just observe the nature of reality, if you cannot even change another person’s mind, how could you save or truly affect anything other than yourself?

Bombast less, repent more.”
