21/09/10 Poetaster’s short essay.

Ambivalence is the itemization of tentative bliss, and knowledge is the embodiment of a restrictive certainty of events. Once we know the rules of a game it loses its longevity, and when you beat it you have no desire to play it again. The discovery is gone and the uncertain mindset of potential is exposed as the illusion we so much time to ratify.

What changes is experience. Events stay the same, locked in cyclical motion, but man forgets and dies. We are molded to feel loss of opportunity, though the reality is that there was never another course of actions on can take. Acknowledge that what differentiates man from his competitors is that he is the catalyst of change in his environment, rather than his environment being the catalyst of change within him. Thusly, he has become so adaptive he stagnates and worries about possibilities beyond his control.

The existence of god puts the nature of reality in jeopardy. It diminishes the value of any endeavour to zero, because it renders anything to an object that can be erased or fabricated to an infinite amount of degrees and can never exceed a field of divine omnipotence. In a mythological setting where there are a host of unequal but imperfect deities, this idea is circumvented because a man is in full ownership of his conclusions and opinions.
In this regard, deities still have a great degree of power, but are relegated to managerial profiles that cannot overlap, even when subsumed by a superseding entity – thusly, morality exists in this scenario where it doesn’t in either a causal universe or a divine created universe. Even if the pantheon of deities were supplimental to the causal universe, morality would override experiences and environment, as will creates a malleable universe that does not necessitate cause, but does not shirk it, either.
