“In the same way, some private-life
decisions or events may appear disadvantageous to the intellect for the same
reasons, while instead they are also self-corrective measures that you are not
able to perceive because of your beliefs.
The rational approach, as it is now used, carries a basic assumption
that anything that is wrong will get worse.
That belief of course is highly detrimental because it runs against the
basic principles of life. Were this the
case in your terms of history, the world would never have lasted a
century. It is interesting to note that
even before medical science, there were a goodly number of healthy
populations. No disease rubbed out the
entire species.
“When you believe that the worst
will happen you must always be on guard.
In your culture people use the term “intellect” almost like a weapon to
protect themselves against impending disaster.
They must be alert for dangers of all kinds. They begin to collect evidence of danger so
that any other kind of orientation to life seems foolhardy, and to be a realist
means in that framework to look out for the worst.”
