somethin up

I want to offer something postive....lemmi love people.. check this out.

consider a lifestlye like...

(idk, was it kant? mmmm, maybe ill look through my notes and find the right philosopher that talked bout it...you see i remember the point, not the person...anyway we'll just say "man" to refer to the brain for now...)

Mr. "man" had a plan. well he had this philosophy about ethics. he suggested that the way to live right is to live in a manner in which you are not tryin to manipulate people. He says you should treat and respect others as rational beings. Accordingly, you should not only tell half truths, you should not deceive, you should not behave in ways that you are intending to create some desired consequence. Instead, you should just act honestly and be real, respect others, and accept the true consequences. Thats a real quick summary.

I've alwasy thought bout that idea and try my best to act that way. its hard to jsut be real sometimes knowing the consequences of respecting someone gives them the power of choice. it gives them power to respond in a way that might not be favorable for me.

1 year later, here i am hearing the same typa theme...Confucious (I'm positive its him this time). He says alot about how we should treat each other as human beings. He's proposing that we respect each other as a fellow man, brother, sister, other. We shouldnt race to take the last bite, instead we just hold our pace and if we don't get it, then so be it. If we come up second, then congratulations to our fellow being. we are all in this together.

Hmmmm wellllllll, kinda seems like im supposed to catch the point. cuz thennnnn....

weekend discussion: basically talkin bout a book called "the shack"...i havent even read it but we were talkin bout the theme in it (supposedly). Theme comes to be that we should focus on building relationships.

Im brought to think that it is very important to respect others simply for humanity's sake. Ultimately, LOVE.

I think thats a positive message and an admirable endeavor.
Thats my effort lately.
To love, unselfishly, no manipulation, deception, etc.

(see, im not always an asshole. and this was a thought worth readin right?) My attempt.

check mate.
