Hey @GuyFawkes4-20 and @adsactly. Thank you for an interesting article. I agree with some of your viewpoints in this article, but disagree with a few as well. I totally agree with the value of the lesson concerning planning and adapting to unplanned circumstances. If we aren't flexible to switch gears when necessary, we will constantly be frustrated.
I disagree a bit about the 'good and evil' concept. I believe in absolute truth, so I don't think good and evil is entirely subjective. So I don't agree with the viewpoint that there is 'no defined good and evil' in the world. All human beings would for instance agree that hurting another being with malicious intent for no apparent reason, would be considered 'evil' in essence. Except for a few select individuals with psychopathic tendencies, who would view this as a 'twisted form of good'. So if in that sense, you argue that the psychopath's subjective view would be that all the other human beings' "evil" is actually "good" - then, yes, it is subjective. That however is a whole new philosophical argument in itself.
How I would interpret the lesson we can learn here, is that every person has the intrinsic ability to make a choice for good or for evil. I wouldn't say every person has to have both good and evil. I would rather say every person has a daily choice whether they will choose good or evil in every situation.
Thank you for sharing your insights. The idea of perceived freedom and ultimate freedom, and how fear can have a hold on your life, is also an interesting topic, maybe we will get an opportunity to chat about that some more in the future. Thank you for sharing thought provoking content. Cheers.
