Good Meaning Bad

Don't you hate it when you have good intentions and in the end it bites you in the ass. For example being the good person that I am I tried to get my friend back with his girlfriend. I didn't really like them together, but they were happy in their always fighting way. I had to go back and forth between them with information, promises, secrets, giving advice and help. I even said I think I should stop interfering and let them figure it out. Guess what happens after all I went through for them... I get the bullshit. It wasn't cool, never again. I stopped caring about the whole situation and didn't want to hear a thing. I just wish to know when is it morally reasonable to step in and take the motivation to change instead of just good thoughts. Another example is this guy who saved these elderly people while they were crossing the street. He ran across the street and pushed them out of the way and he himself got hit and is in the hospital. He awoke to a jay walking fine. Definition of when you do something good and it turns ass out. Word of advice..just make sure you really want to do the things you do, never regret, learn and life your life.

Morality

We base our morality on many things, but the two biggest are law and religion. Morality is principle that people try to strive and live for so hard, but is so easily subject to change. It’s different wherever you go and depending on the person you are, but that is why we have law. The funny thing is how easily we change, and devolve when faced with difficult situations. For example in California they have the highest deficit in the country so they are trying to pass a bill to legalize marijuana. This will turn over the deficit. They predict marijuana will be the third highest produced product above grapes. That isn’t the point I’m not here to argue what I want or see, but to point out how easily the morality was changed. In America they have always had a war against drugs and found illegal drugs unacceptable, but when placed in a hard position it seems to be the only logical way to get out. That is a law changed just because of that. So how hard do we stand upon our principles? We are only human and so are our principles, so what must we do?

We have “evolved” so much why do we resort to things like this? Basic instinct takes over in the end… We are animals though but how far do we go when we take five steps forward and don’t hesitate to jump back.

Death

Life is pretty ironic and funny. We are told that nothing in life is fair and we just have to learn how to deal with it, but the fairest thing in life is death. I realized this when I was little from some cartoon I think. That's not the point though, the point is that it's ironic because it feels like the most not fair thing, but is the fairest thing in life. It's fair because death does not discriminate against race, age, sex, religion. We don't have time just life that we should live. You never know what's going happen next. We would only know what's going to happen if we knew all the causes because we would know the effects accurately. It's just amazing how fair it is because it can happen anywhere anytime. The only time life is fair is when it comes to death it just feels so messed up, but it is what it is. Food for thought. How do you feel about it? All I know is when I die don't cry for me, smile for me.

Liars, Cheaters, & Thieves

Liars, cheaters, and thieves...is that who we are? Is all we do lie, cheat and steal? They all correspond with each other so if you lie you are cheating someone of the truth and if you cheat someone of the truth aren't you stealing from them as well. When was the last time you did one of the three? I'm not gonna say there isn't one person who can't avoid this, but society lacks the moral fiber. Most people would say stealing a song is different from stealing a car, but is it? Ethically it's not, it's all the same, stealing is the same on all planes. Why do we do these things? We are selfish, greedy, and lazy. We do it all for ourselves, don't fool yourself. We don't lie to protect people, we lie to protect ourselves. We cheat and steal because it's easy and we want it all for ourselves and with as little work as possible. We are weak. Some people say you can't progress in society without doing these evils, but you can.

Is society devolving back into animalistic instincts or was it always this way? There are people who say survival of the fittest and they have to do what they have to do, but you are always presented with choices and options. Maybe society has become lenient to these evils, because during the times of The Code of Hammurabi it wasn't acceptable. I think we are born lying, stealing, and cheating and have to develop honesty and truth. Others say people can't handle the truth, but if you keep feeding them lies how can you expect them to swallow the truth. Sure the truth hurts, but lies hurt more. The most messed up part about it all is that we usually do wrong to the people who mean the most to us.

Who Am I?

Who am I? Who are you?
Does your name define you or do you define your name?
It seems like we're actors playing these roles everyday. I can be accused of this I know I wake up with a reputation to uphold and I don't want people to think anything different than what I see. I feel so cliche with some of the things I want to say like why are we here or what's the point. Usually I just say to live and make the way for the next generation, but who knows.
We know what we are to ourselves, but what are we to others? So do we define ourselves or do others define us? Is our actions or words? Probably the mix of both and also what's inside and what shows. A melting pot of you like what you are and where you come from to everything we go through makes us who we are. I feel like everything I say just leads to another question. We could spend lifetimes figuring everything out, but to understand is to not understand.... I guess.

Caring

I was going to write this whole thing about caring about everyone, caring for yourself and nothing at all, but as I was writing it I noticed the whole thing was contradicted and for me to write it would have been hypocritical. I was gonna say how you should care about yourself and what you think rather than what everyone else thinks and I was making examples on how I care about what I know and not everyone else. Now I realize it's good to care about what everyone says and does, for me it gives me drive and motivation. I do better. I push myself because I have confidence and swagger and I know what I can do, but I realized its other people who give me the real push to be all I can be. People love to criticize and "hate" I love to take the negative and turn it into a positive. When people tell me I can't I don't go and smother myself in it. When people tell me I can't I know I can and it pushes me from the can't to the can and have. I love when I prove people wrong. There's so much more I've accomplished after I've been told I couldn't.

For example when I've gotten into fights (not physical) with people lately all they can say about me is call me fat. I know I'm not and my friends tell me I'm not, but obviously I'm not skinny I'm just big. So I being the way I am would just love to see how people react when they see me now. I still have a long way to go until I can really show off and have the last laugh, but it's just a way something negative drives me to be better and do better. Instead of believing what people say and indulging in bad qualities you should turn it into some good unless you love what you have because then those people can just go somewhere.

In the end it doesn't even matter, I know, but it's just how I like to handle my situations. Sure it can turn bad like everything else in life that's why you have to be smart about what you do. So I say go out there and listen to what negative things people think and say and change them for the better.

Time Travel

First of all is it possible? And how?
I'm not going to argue facts about how we might go about ripping the time space continuum and travel through time and space, but I will ask some clearly unanswerable but curious questions.
I was watching the Twilight Zone (the originals, there the best!) and there was an episode on time travel where the men were debating what would happen if you traveled back in time and it lead me to think about a few possibilities.

You might think that when you time travel your presence in the past and anything you do can drastically change the future or your present like in The Butterfly Effect. The other way you may think time travel works is that everything that you do or did was supposed to happen like in the Twilight Zone Episode 'Back Then'. The man mysteriously goes to the past o the night of Lincoln's assassination at Ford Theatre and tries to stop the assassin, but when he goes back to the present he realizes after everything he did the present did not change and in fact because of what he did things are the way they are.

There are so many questions that beget questions on this. I’m not exactly sure what I think, but no matter what you do life will be life and we all go through good and bad, it’s all a circle so whether you changed things or nothing at all thing will turn out the same because everything "changes" so much it actually becomes the same and it's all one.

Emotionless

Emotions, Feelings..... They're gay. I don't mean really mean happiness and joy or sadness, but more of the emotion and feelings of the heart. Being cold hearted would let you make the best most reasonable solutions to problems, but I don't think someone can be down to the bone cold hearted. Anything is possible. I know caring for just yourself sounds selfish, but I want to be in a position where these types of feelings wouldn't affect me and I could maybe live a better life.

I think and know for a fact love and compassion on any level makes you weak. When people are "in love" they do things they would never do if they weren't. On one side I know if there wasn't love in people's hearts then many things would have been left undone because that is the fuel that makes men run. What else could make a person run a 1,000 miles (that white chicks song), start a war (Greeks and Trojans), kill themselves, give up everything they have and literally drive themselves crazy. It's a joke to think how you could live without the thing you loved when you lived with it before. These obsessions control lives and like everything else in this life keep people from living. Love makes you sometimes literally blind, it's amazing.

The biggest problem is people let themselves be lead by emotion rather than thought. This leads to "leaping before looking", drama, and utterly mistakes which could have been avoided.
It's always ironic how you want the opposite of what you have like me because i feel too much I think and fall for my emotions. The good part is that i think before my actions, you become a mastermind like that and it saves you from looking like an asshole dumbass.
