Dichotomy


There are essentially 2 kinds of people - 
1) One who believe that life has a meaning and that actions have consequences and therefore intentions matter
2) Others who think that - Life is a chance happening, nothing is interconnected and therefore one is free to live the way one choses (albeit within the tenets of public ethics)

The second category exist because the meaning of life has not been emphirically proved, the first exist because by nature they don't seek a proof for everything. They are wired to take a leap of faith with regards to it's existence and often rely on anecdotal evidences for substantiation

The day the E=mc2 equivalent of life is discovered - the second category would definitely cross over. I believe that this is more probable than the lack of existence of an equation for life. 

But until that day, the ambivalence ensures that one may choose his natural dispositions towards any of the above categories. Which is fair enough!

Until such a time - pedagogy from either groups will form the root cause of a polarized world
