The wicked yet blissful

The wicked yet blissful human nature -a spieces silenced by fanciful moralists yet far from being on the verge of extinction...now that is a topic for a delicate debate that will most certainly trigger either your curiosity or your critisism towards a somewhat manicheistic mentality. Pure evil (do notice the expresivity of such an apparent oxymoron) might be considered an utopian concept by those tempted to analyse, thus reducing, through fragmentarism, the malignus fond to the naive yet strangely compatible word..."flaw", that is a negative aspect, a minus in the equation of human existence, immediately substituted by a plus so that the result remains the same. For instance, the upheaval of a vice represents the subtle burgeoning of another one, for reasons connected with the imperative of conserving a certain equilibrium (implicitely of conserving the rooth of evil within). Delicate sprits, who perceive life as a gradual form of purification, might find it hard to digest a theory that sustains the prolification of malice, underneath that ephidermical layer of materiality, meant to conceal an intricate and obscure mind. Nevertheless, who is the man who has not, for once at least, observed with nausea his reflection in the mirror, the monster he refuses to identify with, but fails to remove, as shadows will last as long as the Sun still shines?
Instinctively we place our being between animality and divinity - a kind of intermediate whose sinuous trajectory vacillates between collapse and raising. It is like taking one step forward and...who-knows-how-many backward...what is relevant is that a moral convention associates ascendence with the triumph of "good"; paradoxically what we might far-fetchedly call "primitivism" represents a form of rejection towards the external influence, whereas progress implies a dosis of sadism...how is that? well, searching for the truth as a form of improvement involves a painful dissection of the previous certainties, which now seem insuficient, lacking persuassion - and that is definitely a minus for a mind that is no longer willing to accept as a basis of her development, pure faith. This is where cynism, a derivate of evil after all, seems more likely to succeed, to grant the conditions for digesting information, with an almost pathological insatiability;thus, the vigour of the spirit depends on its capacity of taking the truth the way it reveals itself, no masks, no softening, no compromises, no fairytales allowed ...I repeat...it seems.
