On Joy...



Is creativity not the device we create to help retain our individuality? Do we not then hold a supreme hatred for those who challenge our creativity? What truly romantic ideals to hold dear! Creativity binds us spiritually to creations spawned from the deepest parts of ourselves, then only to wish for the most profound disjunction, for which others may share the joy that we have created. Conversely, is it not also the device of our desire for domination? Our desire to direct the attention of others to our efforts and energies manifested in a rather mysterious fashion? We would not wish to make plain our desires and energies, for then, would others actually experience our joy?

Is it then, ‘war’, which belongs fundamentally to the social realm, which in turn dominates all other realms of human endeavor? Is it nothing but {nor merely} an act of joy and domination? Is there truly a dialectic force within us that we use to fight as the vanguard of our individuality? It is not a merely a dialectic, but a trinity. It lies in the dynamic forces of our emotion, of rational calculation, and most importantly, of chance. It is this fascinating trinity that forces us to fight with our creativity at times against ourselves, to save our romantic ideals. It is, however, this trinity that we use for ourselves, to destroy them.

-Genius Von Bubo
