The age old question

I find this whole matter a trifle bit presumptuous. Wouldn’t you say? Exploring the scores of intangibles. It is utterly inconceivable that we as mere mortals can arrive at a solitary conclusive proposal that will solve the various reservations and concerns of our forefathers. However, conjecture alone may not be enough to satisfy the eternal question that has plagued kings and scholars alike throughout the centuries. The eternal question being; if we were to kill all the lawyers, would it solve all of our problems?

Plato, and Aristotle were in mutual agreement, it would in fact solve the majority of the world’s tribulations. However, we must all bear in mind that metaphysics was the foundation of their philosophy. The significance of that belief being, that humans exist for a greater purpose, the ultimate reality, or in layman’s terms, heaven can be achieved here on earth.

When Nietzsche came on the scene centuries later, he shaped, transformed, and then implemented the vision that lawyers provide an essential function, and that is to maintain a certain level of angst, resentment, and antipathy among the populace. Hence, he was considered to be the father of the philosophy known as existentialism, which in effect means, we are here to serve ourselves.

I believe that heaven can be achieved here on earth, but not without killing all of the lawyers first.
