Lies in life.
“Survival of the fittest” one of the lies that was taught in my childhood. I was reading the book Legislating Morality: Is it wise? Is it legal? Is it possible?. I am on the second chapter already and every page of it is full of mind-boggling , cross-examined and factual points. These past few weeks I have this mere realization that everything falls on morality. As one can watch the news, read the newspapers and hear the stories of crime and injustice, it is indeed inevitable to be associated with being morale. In 1924 Adolf Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf(My struggle), made it clear that Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection was the basis for his belief in Arian superiority and justification for what would be his mass-murder of Jews. He wrote:
If nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such cases all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile. But such a preservation goes hand-in-hand with the inexorable law that it is the strongest and the best who must triumph and that they have the right to endure. He who does not wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.
As his writings and actions prove, Hitler was a indeed a racist who used evolution as the philosophical basis for his treachery, He believed the survival of the fittest was the ”law of life” and, therefore, the Jews had no right to exist if they didn’t want to fight. (Geisler & Turek, 1998)
The moral standard embedded deep inside of me knows I rather choose respective cooperation which is helping each other up not pulling each other down and being apathetic about it. I am tired of just constantly feeding my ego because of the society says. I am nothing yet and still be nothing. I believe of the road less traveled. Moral absolutes where ya at? (lol akala mo seryoso) p.s. book review: personally wants books like this which gives impact as early as chapter two.
