At first, I thought existence was malevolent, and so in an effort to be good and noble, I spread warnings and admonishments. Then, I realized whether or not it was true, I got more benefits in believing existence was benevolent, so I once again tried to coerce others into believing the same.
Later, I realized I’d rather just trust that’s the case, and unless explicitly asked or given a synchronistic nudge, let folks believe whatever they believe. If benevolence is indeed the existential default, I figure everything will be okay in the end, even if it takes a little while longer here or there.
