Beauty and Eternal Suffering

What has happened manifested, and it will only manifest again.

Vertical exile makes eternal suffering necessary.

A child being beaten… he either detaches from his suffering or his soul is crushed. Indifferent and necessary versus personal and contingent.

In both cases, suffering reduces him into object. There is no redemption in the horizontal axis: harm is always abhorrent.

The human destiny is solely through eternal suffering.

Some babies die prematurely.

Some people find no good in their life, no redemption: only a lifetime of agony.

Reception to beauty is a social privilege insofar we qualify it to be particular and transcendent. The understanding of beauty as the mediator between earth and heaven is exclusionary.

Life is unfair: the only true mediator between earth and heaven.

God created necessity, and if he were to be present under creation he would never able to remove suffering without reconstituting necessity itself.

Harm derived from suffering is always abhorrent, but suffering is the bridge towards God.

Necessity is as real as the physics which governs the cosmos.

That child whose soul is under siege… He either sees his suffering as necessary or his soul is devastated. The former is a miracle.

We must imagine the contradictions of this world as instantiations of necessity. The self-serving philosophers of Plotinus' time and the academic philosophers of our time. The genocide of Melos and the Armenian genocide.

Every human is an impossibility. To witness the destruction of impossibilities… close to personal death.

Universal beauty is found through the human destiny, or the feeling of unwanted suffering reaching its hand into the heart and rupturing it… The tangential point between man and God.

Let us forgive ourselves and others.
