@[josephneely:35574] unfortunately agnostic/atheist or whatever one may be...as Mercer describes his philosophy tends to take one by the hand as tour guide directs the visitor to focus on the ugly, but often true, side of life. The despair that comes with atheisms are sequelae of those philosophy. Sartre and others describe the "nausea" and "angst" of it. Its a sad place to see one, particularly someone loved. However, often this philosophical positioning in the world, whether chosen or shoved into, can produce some amazing art, in a number of media. Hiding these nauseating truths from ones children as long as possible frames the subject as a responsible father. But of course what Mercer doesn't provide is any insight to what a father (or any person) who lives a philosophy such as this show-and-tell his little girls when one wants to see them happy and laughing, and carefree (being a happy child) Myths? Fairy Tales? Things that aren't particularly true but said to distract from the ugly truths? Maybe even a stories of some concept of a transcendent good? |
