A Bit on Hedonism

Nature is becoming a pale shadow of what it used to be. In the States a woman drove off a bear by throwing a vegetable at it. At home, some cats don’t even hunt mice and birds anymore. Many dogs cannot survive without their stupid owners. Even the cockroaches in my house looked about as fast as Leon Osman. Humans are becoming physically weaker and short-sighted. A friend told me that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012.

As we don’t have much time left, we should seize any opportunity to indulge ourselves. A veiled excuse for hedonism it may be, I am inclined to agree with it in principle. I don’t put any store in Doomsday prophecies but I do think it’s always possible that I will have my existence terminated by some twat of a driver who thinks he’s fucking Hamilton, or by some idiots who should never be allowed to take a degree course for the purpose of feeding off their poor course mates who work like slaves to cover for these scum.

I have reached a point in my existence where I now believe that most conventional moral values are hogwash designed to befuddle the masses; existence is intrinsically meaningless and the only thing we should be concerned about is ourselves, the only god we should worship is ourselves, and the meaning of our existence is to indulge in what we desire as much as possible.

I came across this forum thread on the army website. Its title was ‘why do married women cheat?’. Insofar as I could see, nobody attempted any explanation or justification but there were certainly plenty of people who asked this fundamentally importantly question: ‘Where do we find these women?’ This is surely the most honest and refreshing response to what is a morality-related question. Blokes want to have a good time.

We may get our pants up in a knot if/when we get cuckolded but we are more forgiving if/when we do the same to another bloke. Would I bed a married woman? Why, if she’s hot and willing, why in the Hells not?! You can talk about morality and quote some philosophical bullshit from some long-dead philosopher to justify or defend your philosophical position but in the end all the philosophy in the world and multiverse are a load of bollocks, not fit to wipe a smear off my polished boots.

There are always people who purport to adhere to this and that principle, to promise all sorts of things, but only a few deliver what they preach. We are all animals, sometimes better than our four-legged cousins, often worse, and because of our so-called mental and spiritual development, has made us the most vicious animal of all. Moralists, religionists, champagne socialists and guardians of values shout from the top of the parapets of how responsible they are to the community, society, country, state, god, and king, but ultimately they are responsible only to themselves. For all their moral platitudes and bombastic rhetoric, despite their success in using their holistic humanism to hoodwink the gullible, they should – and must – admit to themselves that all the verbal onanism is but an indulgence to their pride.
