virtue and moral freedom in liberation from desire....

Lack of time to elaborate my point...

Question life. Isn't that the whole point why we are here? To wonder, to question?
To crush it?

Well, I don't crush anything. It's the sad fact of life.
Like the toleration soceity. Given the choice...we wouldn't follow the law. We would disobey everything, just for our benefit.

Given that fact...When we find the answer, isn't it gernerally like that? Disappointing.

The maxim: ignorance is strength
To me, you seem to stand along this line. Is it really? Is not knowing going to help you?
No. Question everything. Find out why.

Then..

Modern cynicism, as a product of mass society, is a distrust toward professed ethical and social values, especially when there are high expectations concerning society institutions and authorities which are unfulfilled. Cynicism can manifest itself as a result of frustration, disillusionment, and distrust perceived as due to organizations, authorities and other aspects of society.

It really comes to distrust. We can't trust anyone. Why? Well...it goes back to people just thinking about themselves.

Humans in the state of nature are, innatly "war of all against all," and life in that state is ultimately "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

That, is why I'm so cynical.

Well...how to explain it...moral evil or sin is derived from the instincts that have been transmitted to us from our ancestry of beasts.

This ancestry originated when certain animals became omnivorous and employed predation (killing and thievery) in order periodically to ingurgitate(?) the flesh as well as the fruit and produce of other once-living things to support metabolism in competition with other animals for scarce food-animal and food-plant sources in the predatory environment in which we evolved.

The simple fact of life: that we humans must eat other life or else starve, die and rot is the probable primordial origin of contemporary and historical moral evil;
i.e., the bad things we do to each other by lying, cheating, slandering, thieving and slaughtering.

Not knowing. Well, it wouldn't make my life any intresting - er. In fact, quite the opposite.

Religon gives answers that can not be questioned.
Philosophy gives questions that can not be answered....

Bear that in mind...80583
