Failure as a pursuit

Writing is an excuse for the bored, repressed, disrespected, slowly-realising-the-subco

nscious fiend, pseudo-alcoholic, premature ejaculator, mongrel, male feminist to provide an outlet. What they do with that outlet is no ones business but their own.

The English 'academic' fatuation with dictators as an 'other' reveals the ideoogy of the buggered, public school slanted education system.

There is a worth to philiosophy. But it is worthless.

My comment wouldn't fit on the facebook comment thing, so I carried it forward to here:


As with any ideology or philosophy comes more than one side - as it is reason, not fact, which decides it's fate. Reason can never truely be quantified as it is a product of human nature.
When looking at why we choose to carry out the various thoughts and ideas that we do, we are only kept in line by human society and the collective judgement that is morality - defining what is 'sensible' and 'acceptable'. Therefore - if the end result of every single action we partake is inevitably death, then shouldn't we discount the idea of morality and society?
No, I don't think so. Why not?
Because we can't attain to control something that we do not understand. We could choose to try to control it, we often do control things we don't understand - but the consequences are unknown. Maybe there is a reason we are here, allowing society to tick over and 'get by', but I don't understand it, and I don't think anyone yet can. I sometimes see the ideal of religion as an escape or outlet for this fraustrating uncertainty, allowing something tangiable and reliable into your life in replacement for something that can never be found, but must be in order to realise your purpose and being.
