Poetry, Philosophy, Morality, Chaos

Below is a poem I wrote expressing my view that there is no moral code running through the universe, especially not one that in any way effects causality. That is, I believe that avery action, good or bad, has consequences (and motives), that are 'good', 'evil', noble, mundane etc., and that no action has an intrinsically goos or bad nature. I would like to know people's thoughts on this topic in general (one that endlessly fascinates me), and on the thoughts and ideas in the poem especially (including emotional reactions, and philosophical critiques)

Shank!

P. S. For those who don't know:

Axiarchism: The view that values rule or explain the natural order. Things are as they are because that is the way they ought to be. More generally, any view that sees the unfolding of events as subject to a moral causality is a species of axiarchism. eg. Karma


  • Seven Dreams: one
    Seven Dreams, here is one: axiarchism is a fool's game -

    A child is raped, viciously, and killed in the forest.
    Her body is devoured by wolves and her remains scattered beneath a tree.
    Strengthened by her rich nutrients, flowers and mosses flourish
    And sway in the wind, and kiss the tree.

    A woodsman, walking one day in the forest, looking to chop wood
    (for he is a woodsman), stops by the old tree - and pisses cheerfully
    On the flowers, saying:

    "It is a good day to be alive."

    ...

    The moral of the story...
