Existential crisis got me again. This is me talking to myself, just on paper (.docx files are now "paper"). Just felt like sharing — I wasn't planning to make this into a discussion, so you may ignore me. But, of course, everyone is very welcome to heavily criticize my "logic".

__________________

Entropy created our universe.
Entropy is what gives us life and what also takes it away. In order for life to exist, something must die.
Evolution itself is the consequence of dynamics enabled by entropy.
Nothing is immortal — nor can it be — hence the idea is rubbish.
Organic life is a product of a chemical reaction produced by inorganic compounds.
Therefore, each individual organic life (a person) is a system. Like a machine. Emotions are like viruses, they are mistakes of the system — the mistakes in cold logic. System without viruses is emotionless — pure logic.
But can inorganic compounds, being a product of entropy, create a life-form without making any mistakes? Can something imperfect create something that is free of errors?
I must think that the answer is “no”.
This means that this is how we ought to be — full of mistakes. But another question arises: is it unnatural to go against our [full of mistakes] system and try not to make “mistakes”?
I say “yes”, but, taking in the consideration that we are the products of entropy, it would be only natural, as we are the antagonists of the original, inorganic, lifeless “world”.
This brings me to a conclusion that we, humans, are both ugly and beautiful creatures in the eyes of nature. Beautiful, because we are all perfect examples of systems — created by entropy — which continue to spread this virus by just merely existing. Ugly, because entropy is against nature.
We are a virus, yes, but the only way to change this would be to instinct. However, the death of one, or all 7 billion, would change nothing.
And this brings me to my most beloved idea — not to create entropy in our minds over things we cannot affect.

What do you mean by "Emotions are like viruses"?

Atom,

I feel like it would be kind of unproductive to go down line by line on the fallacious logic that's throughout this since you said you don't want to make it into a discussion.

It think it's suffices to say that this is the embodiment of wishful thinking and is written based on emotion. That's okay, though, but there isn't really a debate to be had here for this reason.

It's beautifully written and I don't want to insult you because you wrote it quite well. All I'm saying is that it isn't a strictly logical argument that can be properly debated.

Actually, I would be very glad if you would be so kind to critisize the sh*t out of me ^_^

I clearly don't understand how you can compare computer viruses and human emotions that are necessary to any animal life. You make the mistake to consider mecha like the main and pure form of existence which is wrong. Universe is not inert and organic life is way more complex.

I feel your text like a wrong interpretation of chaos theory.

emotions [[-]that[/-]] are necessary to any animal life. Indeed. I mentioned it in the original text, just in the other words. I, hovewer, wouldn't say "necessary", but rather inevitable.
Universe is not inert
hmmmm ok, I'll do some research on this.
a wrong interpretation of chaos theory.
haha, yeah, it's there, somewhere, butchered and thrown into this pseudo-essay-stew. I'll do more research on this as well then.

and human emotions which are necessary.
English is not my native language, my writing can't be perfect. Sorry about that.

If you think about it you will notice that "life" is not restricted by organic life, it can be mecha too, but the point is that there's activity everywhere and every time in the Universe (atomic for exemple). In fact, the definition of "inert" might be larger than we think.
Humans and orgas are not an "anomaly" of the virgin system which the Universe is, but a resultant of its activity.
In my opinion there's no such things as "viruses". The pessimist thinking you're presenting here is based on the fact that any human being, or any specie or life would have an impact on the Universe, and are technically completely useless and powerless. Which is true, but the chaotic cause of Existence shouldn't be turned as an argument for "mankind is nothing", I don't agree with this, life is an extremely complex and fragile thing and is, in my opinion, the most perfect and beautiful resultant of our chaotic Universe.
