“Forgiveness is giving up on the treacle of what has failed and moving towards that which is more ideal. It takes us from a negative logic of detesting something, to a space of emptiness, from which we can reconnect with creative logic and instead of acting out our fears of the negative, reach toward what may be beautiful.” BeautyForgivenessLogicNegativityNihilism Book:Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity Source: Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity
“{...], reality is painful, so people invent justifications and use them to supplant measurement of reality. We could use the old cliché of an ostrich hiding its head in the sand, but only if there's a television down there, dramatizing the sadness. It is an inversion of art: instead of singing the beautiful, we find praises for the ugly and disguise it as beauty, because we have lost belief in beauty. As good nihilists, we note that this loss of beauty is vested more in belief than in beauty. We have made beauty contingent upon so many moral justifications that it is socially taboo to note beauty without somehow tying it to the plight of the disadvantaged.” RealityBeautyMoralsRealismNihilismDisadvantaged Book:Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity Source: Nihilism: A Philosophy Based In Nothingness And Eternity
