Chapter Fifty Two: The Reasons for Battle

And Max, the king of all wild things,

was lonely and wanted to be where

someone loved him best of all.

Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

:::::::

To the one where war matters, there is a crystal clear reason to believe that any conflict that responds to the natural inclination of things is, without a doubt, the appropriate response to the immediate stimuli that pertains exclusively to the fundamental virtues of courage and chivalry.

Life is a continuous battle of the many unseen yet diverse forces, where, in the center of the many motions associated with movement (both involuntary or voluntary) is the strong impetus of love, holding the particles of goodness together in a concentrated linear motion while keeping the disarray of the antiparticles of the evil kind to repel away, from the natural selection of things, through the beneficial evolution of character, personality traits, and the triumph from the characteristics of the monsters and ruthless beasts of the most evil nature.

So, in order to live a fulfilling life, any rational soul can only hope for the bonds that hold the qualities of pure goodness together, primarily by winning the challenges that are produced from the supplied energy of the cosmos, whether that may be a moral lesson that affects the depths of the heart in order to see the rightful substance of life in a gentle and well-meaning manner, a bruise that came from a deliberate infliction of an emotional trauma, a disorder in the physiological properties of the flesh that produces illnesses, or simply trying to rectify the void left in the heart by the worst feeling of emptiness.

Emptiness springs from the natural tendency of the universe to expand, continuously and perpetually, and into a motion that responds to the orderly movement of the many forces present in the same constant velocity of the cosmos. There is always a vacuum from every hour the clocks turn in a minute, and it is the responsibility of the life existing within this motion (again, whether voluntary or involuntary) to comply with the laws of the natural world, just as science would adequately explain in the syllabi of major College courses in particle physics and quantum mechanics.

This vacuum is what creates the unnecessary confusion; and where there is confusion, the disorder becomes evident. This disorder is responsible for the destruction of the natural bonds of the invisible substance of goodness, continually in motion, as it relates to the deeper semantics of divine grace. The emotional feeling of emptiness is what corresponds to the spiritual response to the many exercises that bears fruit in the way the practice of discernment becomes a liberating experience; in the end, the void is filled with fulfillment that results to generosity and gratitude.

As the cosmos moves relative to the deepest essence of a beautiful life imagined by the rational soul, the spiritual necessity becomes ever increasingly desirable as man intricately tries to regain control of the invisible factors that ultimately affect the way he lives, in light of his motivated responses to the environment around him. To limit one's goal in a finite world to a mere method of satisfying basic human instincts without the need for meditation and a search for a higher being is to miss the reversal of the many voids created by this same constant motion.

Man is man because he thinks. Otherwise, man fails.

Stagnation, then, becomes default.
