In the author we trust

I'm under the strict belief that good and bad are subjective, best, better and things like that are only valid for whatever value one personally assigns them, and that chaos is just as valuable as harmony

response:
-i feel like that philosophy makes total sense given our tiny size in comparison to the immense world
-because we can't see our place anymore than the syllables in a poem understand the rhyme
-so chaos and harmony are indistinguishable
-but i believe in an author


"Chaos is the wind beneath our feet"

"trying to understand makes living impossible"

"Beauty is being in harmony with what you are"

  1. Doesn't any belief imply a subjective point of view? Don't all words and thoughts originating from the limited, subjective mind of man imply subjective roots? In this way, are not all things equally right and wrong, equally chaotic and harmonious, equally unequal, equally just '?'

    It's like the enigma of the 'all' levels the philosophical playing field to '?' no matter the passion or intensity through even direct experience of knowing.

    We spend so much time subjectively trying to imagine and distinguish objectivity.

    Imagine a reality where everyone just accepted the limited and unanswered subjective realm as is. Where the hunger for the ineffable and undefinable were replaced by complacent smiles. Of course, then, this post likely wouldn't exist.

    I believe there is a certain pleasure in discussing that which we cannot even come close to being sure of, and there is a certain pleasure in discussion and belief.
