But we know better. <strong>We know some things are indeed impossible, either physically or because of some impending variables.</strong> </p>\n<p>We know we all die, so living eternally is impossible. <strong>We also know we can’t bring people back from the dead</strong>, no matter how much we want it or how good the dead person was.</p>\n<p><strong>We also know that peace everlasting is impossible</strong>. It seems to be in the genetic wiring of human beings to always find ways to generate conflicts. Peace is conceivable and some countries have never been in all-out wars, but the kind of world peace that will bring stability and prosperity to all peoples around the world can be added to the list of impossibilities (even though, in my view it is not only possible but easy, if only…).</p>\n<p><strong>We know that humans are imperfect and that perfection is impossible, perfection itself being a construct hard to define</strong>. We may reach virtuous lives with tons of qualities to be highlighted and good deeds to be remembered for, but there will always be some aspect of our lives that will be brought out to scrutiny and that will be a testimony of our imperfect humanity.</p>\n<p><strong>The eradication of poverty, injustice and diseases may be counted as the most frustration conceivable, yet utterly impossible things</strong> humanity has always faced and will probably continue facing for as long as we exist.</p>\n<p>If the condition to achieve these things is a massive religious conversion, a return to god, as most religious leaders preach, it will be equally impossible. First of all religions would have to agree on whether or not there is only one god and which one that would be, and then they would have to convince every person on earth to shun from evil and do only what is right before that chosen god. <strong>I’d say it would be easier for every person on earth to reject evil than for religious leaders to agree on ending all their differences and rowing in the same direction</strong>. This closes our vicious cycle of impossibilities.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3w7jx4yw","appParentAuthor":"adenijiadeshina","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
