Why live? The irrationality of life and the futility of logic.

A liberal feminist exploded live on TV some time ago and this much hatred in one person is so rare to see. Katie Hopkins, well know British feminist crossed the line and said some awful things, including demanding euthanasia for the old people…

“We just have far too many old people. It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people. Euthanasia vans – just like ice-cream vans – that would come to you home. It would all be perfectly charming. They might even have a nice little tune they’d play. I mean this genuinely. I’m super-keen on euthanasia vans. We need to accept that just because medial advances mean we can live longer, it’s not necessarily the right thing to do”. (1)

This is not something weird or an isolated event. We see this kind of thinking constantly. Some people are like this. Trying to find logical explanations for everything. Trying to find reason and rational arguments for anything.

Which means…

Trying to find “logical” reasons for someone to live.

Trying to find rational arguments for someone to still exist.

But there are no such arguments.

Life is not rational. Existence is not logical. Our very nature is illogical, irrational, tragic and deeply metaphysical. And you cannot uphold the miracle of life unless you actually believe it is a miracle. The rational way of thinking leads straight to death.

Ω γλυκύ μου έαρ…

Γλυκύτατο μου τέκνο…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
