Yet what if reality is truly emergent, rather than ordained?

That good and bad are not some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, but the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental?

That a spiritual absolute is the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell?

Couldn't the consequence of assuming our ideals to be absolute be turned on its head, if those ideals tend towards the exclusive and our group isn't favored?

What is truly absolute, ie, universal, beyond the total equilibrium of everything balanced out and returned to the void? The absolute zero.

What truth is not a function of context? It does seem when we have truly distilled the signal from the noise, is when it loses meaning, because it loses context. Is there an absolute good, with no bad to give it context?

Obviously the concept of relational has been obscured with a lot of lousy arguments, but are you sure you want a truly absolutist world? They do tend toward despotism in practice, with lots of heavy black clothes and the priests having the power of life and death.

We are driven by our desires and directed by our decisions. The heart and the head.

Not all desires are healthy, nor all decisions wise, so we fluctuate back and forth. Trial and error. It's what makes life complicated, not simple.
