the more you idealise the more you demonize
this is because idealisation and demonization are basically the same
both are perversions, distortions of reality
idealisation is not the opposite of demonization
the opposite of idealisation is reality
and the opposite of demonization is reality
please see for yourself:
-those who idealise are as quick to demonize
-those who create rankings inherently create angels, at the top, and demons, in fucking hell
-the more someone is into ideology the more he idealises it, the more blind he is, and the more he despises it’s opponents, and uncritically
-the more you rely on a single idea or single philosophy or single thing or single person — the more vulnerable you are, the more vulnerable to go straight to hell, once bereaved of that very thing
-the stories are overflowing with drama of great heroes and great villains: but not the real life, which is everything between black and white, every shade of grey
once you know something, see something, you don’t seek to change it, you don’t seek to alter it
“it is what it is”, you say
it’s only when you don’t see, is when you seek to fill the gaps
you like to fill the gaps with nonsense — it makes you feel more certain about the world
you pretend you know what you don’t know — and in this delusion you seek refuge
and some of us need that refuge more then others
some of us can’t bear any unknown
they will immediately seek to deny it
like we deny death
some of us don’t deny and don’t presume and don’t attempt to known what they can’t know
but the rest of us can’t suffer the unknown
and then they fill the gaps
and then they idealise and demonize…
…and the more they idealise the more they demonize
because this is elementary the same: their denial of the unknown
their addiction to the comfort of delusion
…but we all have it to some extent
we go through world and there is all this uncertainty and unknown
and decisions must be made
and decisions must be made and be made under incomplete information
and information is never fully complete
so you bite the bullet
and hope
and look at what you know
and deal with that you don’t know
and do what you can do, anyway
and only once you did it, now you know
you are facing a challenge and you accept it and you deal with it
successfully or not — now you learn
…but if you don’t face it — you don’t learn
and you don’t know
and you want to know
but you can’t know, not unless you’ve learnt
therefore you fantasize and idealise and demonize
and you will fantasise and idealise and demonize
unless you go ahead and ACTUALLY DO IT,
ACTUALLY SEE IT
ACTUALLY KNOW IT
and for the last time: it’s one and the same
there’s nothing cheerful about your idealisation
there’s nothing “sceptical” or careful about your demonization
you’re just a deluded stupid fool who has no contact with reality
tomorrow your angels will turn to demons
get over this angels business and demons business
there is real life to be live
