| Beliefs of the Bobbit |
| Simple working definitions of good and evil are possible. Good is when other people are important to you, and you act that way; evil is when no one matters but yourself. I believe, on the whole, good is more to be sought after than evil. Religious beliefs are a matter of personal choice; going to a church and accepting its basic tenets do NOT mean accepting that the church is always right. Regardless of any beliefs I may have in regards to God in whatever form you choose, I do not have the arrogance to state that I KNOW I am right. Anyone who states that is probably wrong. So, for that matter, are those who don't state that. Sexual preferences and practices, along with anything that is done in the privacy of one's home, is no one else's business, and so long as it doesn't cause evil it does not matter what anyone does. You shouldn't worry if someone wants to enjoy the pleasures of a one-humped Episcopalian camel unless of course you are defending the rights of the camel. The concept that "everyone knows" something is a pretty good touchstone that whatever "everyone knows" should be closely and skeptically examined. Humans are essentially good. The more humans crowded together, the more likely that goodness will be corrupted. This may be a gestalt phenomenon; I don't know. The idea that men and women are equal is ridiculous; so is the notion that all men are created equally. All should have the same rights, perhaps, but there are many many differences. And if there were none, the world would be too boring to endure. Those who love each other should not keep score ... this is perhaps one of the hardest things to do but is a necessity. A relationship that keeps track of how many times one person gets something compared to the other will probably not survive. Beliefs can change; the fact that beliefs have changed should not be held against someone; someone whose beliefs have changed should realize that others may not know this has happened and not take offense from those who treat him as he used to believe. Everything is subject to Murphy's Law ... even Murphy's Law. |
