intrinsic finality...

I've realised tat in actuality, i believe in the theory of intrinsic finality which is the idea that there is a natural good for all beings, and that all beings have a natural tendency to pursue their own good. It is an underlying principle of teleology, and moral objectivism. The concept of intrinsic finality was summarized by Thomas Aquinas in (Contra Gentiles IV, xix).

We were havin this so-called debate over the good and the evil, y is there war and ended the nite with the ultimate question - what's the opposite of evolution or does such a thing exist? i mean, if things are evolving, can there come a point when they start going backwards or devolving, which i also came to find out later that note over a quick google tat such a theory or concept has been tossed but not proven, even theory of EVOLUTION for the matter. The former is called devolution of extinction.

Anyways, its been quite an interesting adventure this past few weeks wit these thoughts.
