Quiroga - 107

 TRANSGRESSION REDEEMED

The failure of our moralistic civilization is based on a mistake of a pedagogical nature, because it is based on the illusion that, through the force of fear and punishment, our humanity would respect prohibitions, when it is known, through practice, that it is only necessary to prohibit anything for our own visceral nature feels attracted to transgression, because in the intimate spiritual mathematics of each human being, the coming punishment in the form of guilt and remorse is a price that is paid voluntarily and with pleasure, considering that the pleasure of transgression is much more exciting.

It is evident that in the social consensus of civilized life there must be limitations and rules, both in education and in social life, but if we do not seriously consider that the human being, by his own cosmic essence, is a transgressor of nature, whether for good or for evil, we will never be able to live in peace with our contradictions and ambiguities.

We are both respecters of the rules and transgressors of the rules that we ourselves invented, and this leaves our consciousness in a place in the Universe where the only real reality of all is uncertainty, but at the same time, which human being can deal well with uncertainty?
