A conversation with myself.


A house divided against itself cannot stand. No man can serve two masters.

How about a woman? How many can one woman serve, or how many are needed to serve one?
Be serious. "Man" implies humanity. These are Biblical truths and in my opinion they are simply, true.

If it is a Biblical truth, what does it mean for you to have an opinion on it?

I have this opinion:
No religion in the world can stand as they currently are.
No human schema will continue as they currently are.
The cycle of conflict, chaos, reordering, instability, conflict, chaos...is inevitable.

Why do you say that? I agree that things change, but why is the cycle you mention inevitable?

1. There is Pride in Power (which must be wielded, either for good or bad or a combo of purposes).
2. Power leads to Corruption.
3. Corruption leads to Instability.
4. Instability leads to Conflict.
5. Conflict leads to Reordering (coup d'état)
6. Reordering leads to New (better or worse) Power
7. Repeat step 1 through 7.

It is a undeniable fact that humanity suffers from wanton greed and a lust for power. If you want something "take it". Look back throughout history. Name your empires. They may have fallen, but they always rise from their own corrupt ashes. Same song, different tune. For these reasons, I believe there must be for the sake of logic, one schema, one exemplar outside the human paradigm.

What logic requires you to do that? Humans have improved their living conditions through the centuries, so why is logical to assume that they cannot continue to do so?

You call this world system an improvement? Read the news. Things are not getting easier, just more and more chaotic.
But, I have peace. Extraordinary peace.
Teresa.
