User:Godheval

The name Godheval means "God's Upheaval". God in this context refers to the rigid institution of God, as found in organized religion, but for Godheval also represents the dogmatic structure of many secular schools of thought. The upheaval refers to his skepticism in demanding that everything be questioned and challenged to the point of fervor. The name does not ascribe any sort of divine status to Godheval himself, as that would be entirely hypocritical.

He is a writer, philosopher, social commentator, and an aspiring multimedia creator.

He lives a dual life, one in the world you all know, and another in the world of his vast imagination. Sometimes the two are difficult to distinguish, and the disparity between idealism and pragmatism is often hard to reconcile. He is a philosopher of sorts, constantly developing his own ideas about himself and the world. In some ways he is an existentialist, as he almost instinctively resists the influence of major cultural and ideological - e.g. political and religious, and constantly questions his own identity.

He is a true nonconformist, which is different than a "reverse conformist". He doesn't intentionally resist what's popular just to be different, and in fact sometimes mourns his differences. He challenges everything and believes in nothing, but this is very different than accepting nothing and disbelieving in everything.

Godheval is amorphous. He takes in everything with a certain degree of doubt and is prepared at any moment to cast off old preconceptions as his image of the world changes. He claims to be an anachronism, although he is unsure if he would've been better suited to the relative simplicity of the past, or what his imagination projects as an ideal future – which he thinks can only come about if altruism becomes the vernacular ethic.
