Theory of man?

Question

Through my own perception of humanity, its good and evils and rights and wrongs, though peoples happiness and sadness. The question was never, "If given the choice to choose the right answer, would I aim for the wrong?"It was never this because i was never given a hypothetical situation only the reality of it. I chose the wrong because I needed to see where that road took me. The wrong road taught me why the right path was called the right path. I am happy with who I became and are becoming but i may have taken too many detours and missed too many opportunities. I don't regret anything cause if i changed it i don't think things would have turned out so bitter sweet.

So as to my theory, we honestly know the right answer or the answer that would give happiness maybe not forever but better than simple satisfaction. We know what we want but sometimes we have to make the wrong choice to realize the right one. Be cautioned when deciding because the world rotates whether u want it to or not.

Answer 1

Well said young man. I get to say young man now at my old retired professor's age even if you are 55. There are never too many detours in life if you keep your eyes wide open and your brain in the righ gear. Those muddy detours no matter how hard or maybe even destructive at the time are often the paths that offer us our most rewarding and fulfilling insights into livin'. Opportunities are never lost by people like you. You just got them misplaced somewhere (check some of your old pockets). They are around and guiding you to that sweet spot you are in. I never liked bitter sweet. But I'm only this "One Day That Time Forgot" in your life so what do I know about YOUR taste in life. There is no such thing as "happiness" just some real good moments, sprinkled with some drops of joy on occassion. The bad will out weigh the good in the end. All our paths will cross and we will go hand and hand together as this old world keeps on spinnin' round & round.   An honor to listen and learn from you. Not sure I got your main question. Keep on ...........

Answer 2

"He that has sinned much has been forgiven much"

1) I was debating this with a few guys the other day, we came to the conclusion that choosing the 'left' hand path in life, actually increases your capacity to Love rather then that of people choosing to remain in the sheltered-institutions of theory.

2) The parable of the prodigal son, for instance, was{the son who left the 'Father'} willingly ready to accept servant-status; but the 'Father' welcomes back him as Son, if I dare not say more.... and kills the fatted calf.. and throws a party that the 'remaining son' soon becomes jealous of, in spite of his privy-sheltered-life...

3) Not only does the 'World' increase our capacity to love through 'experience' but it also blesses us with a degree of Discernment as well... which can be used to protect your other loved ones let alone yourself in future trials...

4) So I agree whole-heartedly....sometimes the only way to become 'Wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove' is through experiencing what would appear as the 'Serpents' ways....

Answer 3

What you are saying is that you only know what is right by doing what is wrong. Some people know what is wrong by watching others. I have sinned and stray from the right path but I return. As you say the world rotates and if you are not careful you may not make it back.

Answer 4

Becoming enlighten is the greatest end result.  But in our current times many things have been lost.  There are so many paths that one may take, ignorance, greed etc... worrying  about right and wrong is meaningless....

Answer 5

Remember: right and wrong is from your perspective. When it clashes with society, society wins not because it was right, but because it was stronger. Cooperating with society is the path of least resistance. It is your responsibility to try to change society to your POV. It is the net efforts of all of us doing that, that gives us the society we have. Even if you don't do anything, you still affect the direction society goes. It just may not go your way.

Answer 6

I'm not sure exactly what  your question is since it seems you're telling us  your "philosophy" of man more than asking any question, BUT, having said all that, I must say that I disagree with one point you said.  I agree that sometimes when we make the wrong decision we turn around and see what the right one was, BUT, I disagree when you say that "we have to make the wrong choice to realize the right one".  That doesn't "have" to happen, but hindsight is a built in learning tool vis-a-vis experience.  And believe me, no  matter how "okay" things feel now, if you live long enough, you'll have plenty of regrets.  Trust me on that one.  God Bless you.
