Bad or good
We live in a world in which our primary food is the information. We
perceive the outside world through images, and each image has an echo in
our brain, generating feelings, attitudes and sometimes questions.
Although we belong to the same specie, thousands of differences or
similarities divide and classify us. Each of us perceives in his own way
the information he receives. For some of us, something could be
beautiful, for others the same thing could be ugly. Behind these two
words, beautiful and ugly, we can see another words or, better said,
concepts: good and bad. But what do good and bad mean? Do they really
exist?
On one hand, good and bad are two words that express our opinion in
terms of perceived images. We give the images values, which can be, as I
already said, good or bad. On the other hand, being so many types of
human beings, it is normal to be different kinds of perception and
interpretation of information. Therefore, having many people who can
interpret things in different ways, it is difficult for somebody to say
what is good or bad, and in the same time to have his opinion shared by
everyone. Trying to classify, we might come up with a result that might
be true or not, depending on the point of view. In other words
everything is relative.
Paradoxically, when we start thinking we, we discover that we actually
know almost nothing, or that there are many things left, to be known. On
the other hand, the more we know, the more we want to know. This desire
of knowing more and more might be expressed through questions.
One big difference that separates the human beings from animals is that
people ask themselves, why do we exist? and animals do not. If animals
asked themselves this question, in that moment they would become human
beings. If someone find an answer to this question, many things would be
simplified. Our secret of life would not be a secret anymore. However,
answering this question is difficult, maybe impossible. What we can do
is to wait and think. Time will answer us.
