I guess evil often comes from one's own weakness, a way to fill a void that one may never be able to fill by putting others down?

i've always tried ever since i was a kid to bring love instead of hate to the ones around me. But with the passing of time and constant events and confrontations it's difficult not to despair when it looks like evil always triumphs. So it''s really meaningful to ear words, like James Baldwin at the end, to remember why i should keep moving and have empathy to my fellow Man.

What's so wild is that we- viewers of this video- could encounter each other out in the world without knowing it, and have a pointless exchange that leaves us both offended and hateful of each other. Watching this video doesn't change us, we're emotional creatures and quick to be pulled into moments of conflict. Maybe just try and be kind to just the next person who makes you angry, even if we're only mindful of it once before reverting and forgetting.

When I read his book (The Denial of Death) for the first time in 2020 during COVID, it was the most coherent theory of motivation I have ever read and I immediately dove into other related work (The Worm at The Core) and research that was done. And I highly resonated with the creation of art relieving underlying fear.

I try to be as good as I can be (unselfish) but its a poor metaphor to say you should listen to the angel on your shoulder. Because like you said, the supposed devil is also part of your human being. So instead of beating myself up when I get there (usually for what therapists describe as H.A.L.T.; hungry angry lonely or tired) I accept that this another part of me, my weakness and I try to make amends through humility of my human condition with anyone I might lash out on. And when I am refreshed and healthy I extend that much kindness and patience to those who might act out in the same.

my English class was talking about this topic. 'what does it mean to be human?' people treat animals less because they're not human, so why do we treat other humans less? they're human, but we sometimes label others as 'non-human' because of some evil things they do. humans just want excuses to make themselves better in life and in feeling

Another fucking banger. All of the Becker stuff reminded me of the master slave section of the phenomenology of spirit. This othering of people as evil is the mechanism that allows for us to understand ourselves as good, or for Helgel, as simply being. I have also found this to be true in the version of christianity I was raised on: both the sinner and the false believer are what makes "us" holy through our recognition and condemnation of them. The only response to this dilemma must be love for the other; the other is the only way that I can feel myself to be good. The logical next step is to move beyond condemnation and towards a radical acceptance wherein both self and the other recognize each other with respect and move to create a world wherein we can both exist with security and peace.

Thank you Sisyphus... "If your adversary wins the argument about truth, you die." ... Such is the frailty of ideas. But there are many spiritual paths which tell you can go beyond the mind, beyond ideas to a pure experience itself. I recommend looking up Steps to Knowledge, which feels like a very real pathway for this.
