“Nobody is perfect” says the popular saying and hardly anyone stops to question the sentiment. Most go through life hanging on to the belief that nobody is perfect and it is perfectly normal to mess things up. They fail to grasp the meaning of life, that to transcend its limits, one must pursue perfection instead of letting himself be bounded by the accepted truth of his time.
As Nietzsche would put it, “Do not accept what almost two thousand years of history have taught you to call evil. The existence of the human race is justified only by the exceptional among us – the superman, the Übermensch, whose self-mastery, self-overcoming, sublimation, creativity, strong will to power and ultimately self perfection frees him from the common prejudices and assumptions of the day.
It is arrogant to suppose that we are at the end of our evolutionary chain. Our species is nothing more than a link on a long sequence of evolutionary events towards the Omega point where abstract notions of truth and perfection is manifested physically and realized in living systems. It is imperative that the ultimate goal of humanity, therefore, should be placed on the rearing of a race of Supermen instead of world domination and/or accumulation of riches. Only then can we get back to the metaphorical Eden or Heaven or achieve the state of Nirvana.
Within the total event – the evolutionary process, every subordinate event represents a contribution to the whole. And our contribution, should be something that can lead us to true sapience.
