Happy Accident

Am I Random and Expendable? Or am I Useful and Essential?

Do we create our purpose and essentiality? Or is it there by design?

If we create individual purpose completely free from design, then we are random and expendable.

If we are somehow endowed with a predetermined, superior essentiality then from an all-encompassing perspective, individual purpose is relatively meaningless.

If we are somehow endowed with an unassuming potential to create an individual purpose, then we are not superior, we are responsible.

In this last case, it should not matter if this endowment is purposeful or accidental. It should only matter that we are responsible.

And in this case, if we act responsibly, individual purpose will be nourished and strengthened, and superiority will hide in shame.

To argue over the origin of capability is wasteful and divisive.

Our focus should be on transforming the capability into minimum harm and maximum good.

Divisiveness often carries us toward maximum harm and minimum good.

Divisiveness is an abomination; more so to purposeful design than to happy accident.
