Prime Path 26:
Total Assholes
OK, we've been talking about "most people." But that doesn't include all people. Like we said, most people spend most of their time being assholes, and spend the rest of their time being joyful, loving beings. But what about everyone else?
Underneath an on-again off-again veneer of inauthentic civility, some people are assholes all of the time.
But, in that description, we buried the lead. Here's the lead:
Some people are assholes all of the time.
Let's go ahead and flesh that all the way out, for maximum impact:
Underneath an on-again off-again veneer of inauthentic civility, some people spend all of their time being in a way that diminishes the quality of life.
And, finally, to summarize:
Some people spend all of their time diminishing the quality of life.
We call a person who is an asshole all of the time a "total asshole." A total asshole is never a joyful, loving being. Total assholes sometimes pretend to be joyful and loving. This pretense is what we mean by "veneer of inauthentic civility." But total assholes are never authentically joyful and loving.
I was referring to total assholes in one of the introductory pages when I said "this website is for folks who have not been entirely consumed by darkness." I don't mean to be apocalyptic, but total assholes are folks who have been entirely consumed by darkness. They've been seduced by the dark side of the force, so to speak. We'll talk a great deal more about this down the road.
This leaves us with one more kind of human being to discuss.
