Morosianism

Morosianism is a speculative theological concept that posits the existence of a divine entity known as Moros, whose primary attribute is a profound, almost cosmic, despair or melancholy. This entity is not typically viewed as malevolent, but rather as a passive, all-encompassing sadness that influences the fabric of existence. Proponents of Morosianism suggest that the universe itself is a manifestation of Moros's sorrow, and that all life experiences a degree of this inherent melancholy.

The core tenets of Morosianism often involve an acceptance of suffering as an intrinsic part of reality, rather than an aberration. It does not necessarily advocate for nihilism, but rather for a compassionate understanding of the inherent difficulties in existence. Practices associated with Morosianism, where they exist, tend to focus on introspection, empathy, and the quiet contemplation of shared human or sentient experience. Some interpretations may involve rituals aimed at acknowledging or even comforting the divine despair, though these are highly varied and often personal.

Morosianism is not a widely established religion or dogma and is more commonly found in philosophical discussions or fictional narratives. There are no formal institutions or widely recognized texts dedicated to its principles. Its appeal often lies in its unique perspective on suffering, offering a framework that acknowledges and finds a form of solace in the pervasive sense of sadness that can be felt in the world.
