WE ARE PASSIONATE
Although our humanity boasts of being rational, most of the time we are passionate beings, intensely and emotionally attached to our likes and dislikes, even if these only have a particular and non-transferable meaning, an attitude that has nothing rational about it, because reason is the function through which our humanity finds common ground to dialogue, even if these go against our passions.
Of all the billions of comments made every day on social media posts, how many have the purpose of clarifying and exchanging ideas? Something that would be rational to do and that would transform the social media platform into a place of information and not misinformation.
Only the smallest portion of our humanity is rational, because reason does not arise spontaneously, like passion; reason needs to be developed by free and spontaneous will, and sustained through constant study and investigation.
Without this, we will all continue to be passionate.
Project your mind into the future, but do not be content to create magnificent visions that would not come true by themselves, by the mere human capacity to create visions. Project your mind into the future, and do here and now what is necessary.
