Rational Falliciousness

It is not hypocritical to argue that the common man feels more fulfilled when not founding all their actions in rational apotheosis while simultaneously not being guided through prejudice. Naturally, human decisions are guided through their intuition which allows them to recognize situations that seem uncanny. When following through with their instinct without prolonged consideration it can lead to a splintering of alignment with the soul, breeding anxiousness. To the egoist, it may seem rational to kill someone dear to them because the effects of their death outweigh the benefits of them living. Yet they do not act on such impulses despite being confident in their escape. This is because behind their rational thinking, their innate moral compass that is fostered either through the development of the soul or the moral evolution they’ve been attuned to guides them towards a decision that isn’t aligned with the minds rationality. If they did end up following through with their rationality and disregard their intuition, feelings of guilt or the emotions that precedingly halted their actions may plague their mind despite their rationality. The mind and the heart work like separate organs, the heart may never be fully aligned with the mind's rationality nor can the mind rarely ever truly reason the emotions of the heart. The heart has the ability to understand what is valuable while the mind is blinded through its development of reason and socially molded to desire what is not truly valuable. However, by careful observation we can reconstruct the mind to pursue what is valuable to both itself and the heart. Through this one may become able to differentiate between what is worthy of certain reactions and what is not. An example of a culturally induced paradigm that instills guilt is purity culture, another being the cruel stigmatization of mental illness that fosters ostracization in the community. Due to these irrational prejudices, identity crisis and misalignment with the soul may manifest in the individual. The reconstruction of these unconscious beliefs could be considered analogous to exposure therapy or trauma specialized therapy; where the soul's abstraction is attempted to be aligned with the mind through introspective revelation.
The cultivation of cultural norms that no longer apply in contemporary society are composed in the individual through the parents or environments preconceived bias’. While the parental figure may believe that what they are doing is right, it may cause a state of identity crisis later in life for the individual upon the analysis of why they believe certain things. It is a shame that the intolerance of certain sexual identities or races continues to be propagated by parents even today. Not discrimination nor prejudice makes rational sense and only appeals to those who are conditioned to believe such nonsense. Religious founded bigotry is equally irrational, for what sexual orientation deserves to be damned solely due to the beliefs of a prophet that is constrained to the intolerance of their contemporary culture. It is absurd, just as the misconception which deem psychological conditions or mental illnesses such as ones that cause auditory or visual hallucinations to be caused by a supernatural force. Luckily, through the perpetual advancement of science as well as the fields of both psychology and sociology, we can clear such nonsense. Similarly to science, through introspective measures, we too can build off and reconstruct our culturally influenced beliefs which ordinarily cause a state of confusion.
While I believe that there exists a moral system that can be considered similar across cultures, to deem it to be the work of metaphysical alignment is only appealing to prejudiced belief. This is not the work of God unless God is humanity. If this is the work of God then we have created him, not vice versa. This gives reasoning as to why God's commandments may have moral laws that survived through the development of cultures, but not superfluous ones that are now seen as irrelevant. Those who, despite this, continue to follow the commandments that were bound by their culture are still irrational in their following because their proof of the otherworldly comes from the epistemological perspective of a human still bound by their cultural interpretations and translated as prophecy.
