Let me start by saying that I am not an overly pessimistic person. My blog may reflect such a vision but that is simply because I use this blog as a means to release frustration on a world that begs for criticism. I, in reality, have much faith in human kind but I also believe that humans choose to reject their ability to be better than they are and they choose to remain in an endless cycle. This leads into, once again, a criticism towards the world we have claimed as our own...

I base the following rant on certain pieces and specifications of the human condition. It does not necessarily rely on pessimism such as Nihilism or, to a certain extent, Existentialism, but the points I choose to focus on today would support such a theory. This is because the "human condition" can almost be considered to be branching off into two directions: there is the positive or almost indifferent side of the human condition, there is also the more focus upon the connotation of the human condition. Allow me to proceed:

We are never happy. POINT BLANK.
The fact is, individuals can be generally content and will undoubtedly still have conflictions with the world they live in. On the other hand, the general human population is pessimistic and will unfortunately always rely on the need for the need for change. This may sound confusing at the moment, but what I am trying to get across is that it is impossible for the world we live in to be one of Utopia. I do not think the world was created with the intention of ever being a Utopian world. We were given a bright red apple and asked not to touch it, we touched it and are forever damned. Hence the beginning of our pain and suffering (mostly caused by our own actions). Because I do not expect our world to ever be pain free, I evidently do not think that the negative connotation of the human condition is necessarily false. I would argue, however, that it is endlessly painful. This has been a longer explanation than I thought it would be but I do believe it was necessary. We create our own pain, then blame any other scapegoat for our problems. We are inherently flawed (see previous posts) and rely on our flaws to be the base of our existence. We then complain that we are not perfect yet. Oh how human kind has "evolved".

All of this begs the question, is pessimism a sin? We created pessimism and pain by going against the greater will. I believe that this was the gunshot that started the race for pain. Now I ask myself the question: Is this the ultimate test of man's redemption? This may be our chance at returning to a Utopian state that is unattainable due to our own actions. We continue to rely on the pain and suffering that we created through the destruction of a perfect world. We are to blame for the lack of peace and we are to blame for the destruction of that same peace.

But think about it, if world peace ever existed, what would we do with our spare time...

Kudos to mankind, we have failed.
