Just a little entry...

These days life seems to be a little more complex than just yes or no, right or wrong. I am taking an Ethics class, so my mind is constantly working around what is moral, how can we justify our definition of which moral choices are right and how can I, in particular, strive to be more accepting of differing moral compasses.
I have analysed this idea of morality, of my perception of right and wrong, as not only being subjective to the person that I am (a combination of social constructs, self cultivated ideals, heritage, history..) but being subjective to the person I would like to become. What I might see as the best possible choice, the choice that would benefit me most in the long run. Yes, I acknowledge a sense of egoism, where self-interest (NOT selfishness) is my ultimate goal. And then it must be said that my self-interest decisions usually demand the benefit of others, for my own piece of mind. Is it then fair to only conclude one ethical theory, where either we are all connected by a standard moral code or they differ from culture to nation? Perhaps all these theories can be applied and in degree depending on the individual and the specific circumstance. I reject the idea that it need be either one or the other, that right and wrong are the only choices we can make. What is right for me is not necessarily right for you, for mankind, for peace, for eternal salvation, or for the person I would like to become. It is my belief that when we are faced with a situation, whether the consequences affect only me or a thousand innocent people, we will make the best possible choice, a choice that will be exclusive to that time and that frame of mind.

A journey is only endless when we have failed to take notice.
WHERE IS THE FUNK

Ehh...

Honestly, I'm in the worst mood. I guess it's childish of me to want people to know that, but is it a crime for me to want a little attention? Since after all, I'm always the one asking how your day was or how you are doing. No one ever asks me that if I don't ask first. From now on, I'm not asking first anymore. Fuck it. I'm tired I guess. I don't know. Fuck. I wish I could join a spelling bee and win right now. I need some sort of validation that I'm good enough. God damn, I'm a cry baby. Straight up.

Take care of your palms!

Having a badly bruised palm this week has taught me the importance of the inside of my hand. I've compiled a list of things that I took for granted before but now wish I could do without pain or restraint.

1. Open door knobs
2. High Five someone
3. Reach in and take something out of my pocket
4. Wipe yourself in the restroom!

Ok, so it's not a lot but these are things I do every single day and I've never realized how much I need my palms! I will add more as I experience them.
