Quiroga - 174

IN THE MEAN TIME...

As long as we do not develop the transcendental vision of the Universe and because we lack the perception of what is beyond the phenomenal appearance, it is also impossible for us to realize that everything that exists is necessary, regardless of our likes and dislikes, everything is necessary, both what we appreciate and what that we hate, for the mere reason of existing.

Because we lack the desire to go beyond appearances, we are unable to integrate all experiences into a complex and interdependent unit, which we call the Universe, without knowing what that name means.

So, while things continue like this, we cannot do without the measures of what is right and what is wrong, in the name of having principles and foundations that organize life in common, our public spaces, humans, as a cosmic group.

And in the sense of organizing life in common, we humans have absolute freedom to, individually, determine our measures of right and wrong, but not to the point of distorting these measures to the detriment of our life as a group, because without respect and promotion of group life, of the communion of human beings, it would not be possible to produce well-being for the greatest number of people possible.

On the contrary, without the measures of right and wrong, or leaving these measures to individual relativism, we would produce all sorts of pain (misfortune) and personal and social injustices, without even knowing why all this would happen, in love with our individualities and our relativization of everything to a particular point of view.
