"Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew."
Guillaume Apollinaire
WE ARE PREPARED TO BELIEVE ANYTHING. WE ARE MOSTLY CONDITIONED TO BELIEVE ANYTHING.
SHOULD WE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HUMAN CONDITION, WE ALWAYS END UP IN THE IMPASSE OF THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE.
WE INVENT GOD. SOLVED.
BUT THERE IS SO MUCH PAIN AND SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD THAT WE NEED TO INVENT EVIL. SOLVED.
HOW COME GOD WHICH WE BELIEVE IS SO OMNIPOTENT CAN ALLOW EVIL TO EXIST? THE CHURCH WILL TELL US IT’S TO TEST OUR BELIEF THAT “HE” (THEM/HER/WHOOPO) WILL MAKE US LIVE TO “THE END OF ETERNITY” IF WE BELIEVE.
WE BELIEVE. WE COME TO THE EDGE. WE ARE PUSHED. WE FLY…
