OK, Brother Giovonny, we continue our metaphysical discussion. (Isn't it great?)

It is great. (Though, I might describe our discussion as "physical" rather than "metaphysical")

It's ironic that I enjoy your perspective even though I disagree with some of it.

For example..

You say that the worst thing in the world is to:

lose our inner spirit.

I don't even know what this means?

I'm not convinced that there is any such thing as an "inner spirit".

I'm not saying that it doesn't exist. I'm just saying that I haven't seen much evidence of it.

Many successful and well adjusted people do not believe in the concept of "spirits'. On the other hand, many successful people do believe in "spirits".

I don't know?

For me, the worst thing in the world would probably be seeing my family get tortured.

We throw away our patrimony.

This is also ironic.

I purposely threw away my "patrimony".

I had shitty parents and much of what they taught me was counter productive.

I did not want to continue on the path they laid out for me.

I think he will benefit from some training in self-discipline.

Absoluetly!

Very, very few people (maybe none) are inherently evil.

Yes, I don't believe anyone is evil.

There is no evidence that suggests "evil" exists.

There is plenty of evidence that proves human beings can be mean, cruel, and barbaric.

But, there is no evidence that suggests this human cruelty is caused by a supernatural force.

this guy is just a sensualist

A "sensualist" is someone devoted to sensual pleasures.

This man was devoted to fighting.

Fighting brings pain.

So, because of that, I would not call him a "sensualist".

If he was a porn star, I would call him a "sensualist".

I also don't have enough information about his sexual habits to be able to make a judgement on this.

he must have been suffering from some sort of inner turmoil.

Certainly.

I pray this is true.

In my experience, I believe that it is true.

At least for those of us that live in a free society.
