"Through the absence of doubt, skepticism, and intellectual reflection on the dogma fed to us..."

“Through the absence of doubt, skepticism, and intellectual reflection on the dogma fed to us throughout life, as is the norm in modern culture, one can foolishly try to attain a compelling illusion of happiness and lifelong content. In retrospect though, all that is indoctrinated and believed to be a foundation for satisfaction in life through this fashion is the stuff of pure ignorance, a fog of delusion in which the moronic and the naive cling to their absurdities in hope of not losing their sanity. Through logic, reasoning, and critical reflection one learns the truths of society, a mass of chaos and unsustainable, gross excess in which individuals parade as being “virtuous" and of excellent moral character. A collective ensemble of rampant thoughtlessness and moral decay, in which the importance of the mind does not weigh equally with the importance of empty luxuries in the public culture. Though this revelation may seem bleak, it is the acceptance and self-education on the realities of life and the universe that allows one to move forward mentally and emotionally onto the the path of enlightenment, in which a grounded and valid construct of happiness, hope, humanity, and love can be allowed to develop and flourish.”
