Do You Ever Have Imaginary/potential Conversations With People In Your Head But Then Catch Yourself accidentally mouthing

“In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so” - Immanuel Kant

Opinion on "ignorance is bliss"?

It’s the cowards creed, an irrational sentiment harnessed by those succumbing to the traumatic insecurity that lies in relinquishing deceptive childhood fantasy’s; so they opt instead for a kind of optimistic denial that demonizes knowledge as a defense mechanism to remain complacent in their delusions.

The fate of these individuals then, lies in the will of those brave enough to endure the tribulations of educating and empowering themselves. At best, these individuals are destined to live as parasites; at worst, they will have their ignorance utilized by ambitious deceivers to enslave or destroy them.

"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

There is a phrase used to describe people, often strangers, as “ships passing in the night.” The phrase is meant to describe how fleeting the intersection of two lives can be, how briefly people we don’t know can flicker in and out of our lives. 

But when I read about the Titanic, I think we can push the phrase further. Because sometimes, as you pass another ship in the night, you may hear a cry in the dark. A person in danger. A shout for help. Distress rockets and SOS signals wailing into the night. A stranger in crisis. 

And in those fleeting moments as your ship passes theirs, you get to make the choice- are you the Californian, the closest ship to the Titanic, which saw the distress rockets and saw the lights on the horizon and sat and did nothing; or are you the Carpathia, turning on a dime, pushing all steam to the engines, racing to help. 

We can not say for sure what caused the Californian to not help the Titanic in that night of crisis. Whether is was apathy or incompetence or fear, we don’t know.

 But we know that every single soul who survived the Titanic survived because of the Carpathia. Because the crew and the passengers of that ship raced nearly 60 miles through ice fields above their maximum speed in the dead of night, readying life boats, readying triage, to pull them from the water. 

So, yes, we are ships passing in the night, and when given the chance to turn away or do good, always err on the side of reckless compassion.
