The Origin of Wisdom

  When observing human nature, one may detect different characteristics and see particular behaviors that were initially unconscious or poorly understood. Such conduct can be rational or irrational, and plenty of it may come from evolutionary origins which people do not fully understand. To cause misery to others falls in the category of poorly understood behavior: the decisions of some people may cause misery in others, and enjoyment may be derived from this occurrence. Nevertheless, it cannot be concluded that people generally enjoy making others miserable, unless we refer to a special case of psychopathy; on the contrary, people make decisions that affect other people, and misery might be a necessary consequence of making these decisions, even having a potential positive effect in those of whom misery is being casted upon.   First, one must define the concept of misery and its potential source in order to understand it. According to the Oxford Dictionary, misery is to be understoo

       Hello, I know it has been a long while and it might be too late to reply to your comment, but I still had to do some reading before being able to reply to you with some real ground. I will take the liberty of writing without citations because: first, this is not an academic paper; and second, it would take me too long to track back where I read what I read. Having said that, please take the following as my main source of information, as it is my assigned book of study:   > Brinkley, A. (2019). The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People Volume 2. New York: McGraw-Hill Education.        In the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, America experienced an extraordinary period of economic prosperity known as the Gilded Age. This prosperous era was possible thanks to the following factors: the emergence of scientific management or Taylorism; an incredible availability of natural resources; the extraordinary technological advances; the improvement of

  During the period of the 1860s, America fought and survived its most devastating war to date: the American Civil War. The aftermath of this war would lead to a series of historical events that would shape the social relationship between white and black southerners for the upcoming years. One of these events was the attempt by the federal government to transform the 11 Southern states that had waved the Confederate flag, which would be known as the Reconstruction era. This era was characterized by a simultaneous victory and defeat of moral American principles that would have an enduring effect over the developing history of the nation. The most notable moral victory of the Reconstruction was the recognition of individual freedom of black slaves. The federal government abolished slavery, setting free 3.5 million African Americans; in 1866, Congress approved the Fourteenth Amendment, which would be the first constitutional definition of American citizenship, and would grant citizenshi

  The Context: The Nuremberg defense is based on the moral argument that an individual may not be found guilty if he acted unlawfully only according to orders from superiors or the Government. However, the counterargument to this is that an individual is not relieved from moral responsibility if a moral choice was possible, and that there is a set of universal morals that make possible for an individual, regardless of nationality, to discriminate between good and evil actions. Understanding the Arguments: The former argument relies on the following logic: Individuals can only be responsible for actions which they directly decided to enact; soldiers acting under orders are not themselves acting out of their own decisions, they are following a set of determined orders by their superiors, and may face dire consequences if they do not, meaning that they do not really have a choice; therefore, soldiers committing crimes by following orders are not themselves guilty of these crimes.

El tiempo realmente pasa rápido. Cuando era niño nunca lo creí. Para entonces los días eran más largos y tranquilos, inclusive aburridos de lo mucho que tardaban en pasar. Cuando era niño... Las cosas son diferentes ahora. La burbuja de seguridad que mis padres mantenían con su propio sufrimiento reventó hace unos años. Reventó para todos nosotros. Los jóvenes de esta generación tuvimos que entender más de lo que nos correspondía. Algunos tuvieron que entender el infierno que representa el futuro, tuvieron que entender por qué su padre solo cena café, y algunos desafortunados tuvieron que entender por qué su madre camina por las calles de Bogotá en medio de la noche. Nacimos para sufrir. Como diría  Nietzsche, " nuestro Dios murió y nosotros lo matamos", y lo reemplazamos con la promesa de una revolución imposible. Lo reemplazamos con caos. Eso era lo único que pensaba cuando estaba pudriéndome parásitamente los meses antes de tomar el avión. Jamás había estado tan
