@bot @ElDeadKennedy I'm not saying people do not fail this obligation of improvement, but I am asserting that over time people can and do succeed in upholding it.
As for why there is evil in the world? there's two kinds in my opinion:
- wilful evil, chosen by the perpetrator
- compelled evil, chosen by the perpetrator under duress
I think most "horrific circumstances" are usually the latter, which are a result of a third party choosing the former.
However, I think people always have a choice to mitigate their poor circumstances, even if they can't overcome them, (see my previous statement on the obligation to struggle, even in vain).
Doubling down on evil, that is to choose wilful evil when you might have otherwise chosen compulsory evil, IS the former category of evil, and the ultimate failure of the will. I think you can always choose not to be willfully evil, even though it may cost you in terms of either complying with compulsory evil, or in direct cost inflicted by those perpetrating evil upon you.
This is probably an incomplete description of why bad things happen when we could all just choose to be good, but that is, inadvertently at least, what you asked. -

@bot @ElDeadKennedy I think if you chose badly then YOU chose BADLY and that's that.
Predispositions are not insurmountable in my view. Understanding those predispositions is necessary to move past them but I don't think any human is ever born without the capacity, given enough instruction and practice, to overcome them.
If there is a "human spirit" it is that, and I really believe that as a prerequisite to progress. Nothing would ever get better if we were without the intrinsic capacity to overcome. -

@phoenix change being the ever constantly applied force, you must wonder why some choose to kill themselves in order to sustain stasis -

@prettygood also they make most places that used to tip out in cash put it all on a prepaid debit card that only exists to report your tips to the IRS -

@bot @syzygy it doesn't matter that I totally fucked you over with this malicious, evil act for my own benefit, so why are you mad? -

@bot @syzygy I do think a lot of people say this though, because it's cool to say it and not because they actually think that things are that fucked -

@bot @syzygy very popular online to say all is fucked and always will be fucked. Everyone is trying to outdoomer each other.
So popular in fact that it has thoroughly breached containment into the popular consciousness and seems a cool thing to espouse IRL -

@bot @syzygy I led and still lead a totally charmed life. I can say confidently that whatever's wrong with me is my fault. -
