Chaos Angel's Observations
What is there to define the concept of �existence?� I choose to assume that, on some level, I �exist,� or that some implication creates an environment which suggests to me that I exist. I have no reliable evidence for the existence of anything � what�s to say that, when psychology describes an individual as being completely disconnected from reality, that it is reality from which he is disconnected or a hallucination, a dream-world? Is it possible that this is a dream, with another �real� world, or even a dream without a reality? What makes something �real?� Now, given reality of existence as an assumption, what guides my actions? Am I �pre-destined� to follow my course, with only an illusion of free will provided by some semblance of logic in my actions and reactions? At what level am I capable of controlling my path? Where do emotions interfere? What effects does my lack of �complete� awareness have on my �choices?� Further, for what �purpose� do I �exist,� if any? Is it right that, by logic, I ensure my own survival, steering toward pleasing stimulation and away from fear? Or should I adhere to largely illogical and arbitrary moral codes and religious concepts passed down from some alleged deity or a tradition elevated to a position of worship? What is worship? A failure in logic? If I engage in action that benefits myself and also another, it is not altruistic or morally based, but a logical action. If I engage in a �selfless� action that benefits another and not obviously myself, is there not some pleasurable stimulation that leads me to this? If I condemn myself and abuse myself, is it not for the pleasure that I gain through believing that I am aware of my own shortcomings? We shall apply Occam�s Razor, yes? There is . . . nothing.
