An idea that sort of struck me while arguing with the nice
Christian people here is that I have no
motivation to be a good person in my life other than
my nature. I suppose its just
conditioning. I do have quite a
big ass mouth on me which tends to
piss off the masses, but I try not to hurt any ones
feelings unless they truly need it. I just like being a
good person. I have formed my own
morals which I assure you have been revised a time or two as an
adult. "
The Cosmic Carrot" has no place in my life. I am a believer in the
concept that you pass your energy on. The world takes on a new spin as you touch it in small ways. When you anger a man, does he do something rash or cruel to someone close to him to vent that anger? Why put it out there? Its not
Karma or
Darma because I don't necessarily believe in those either, its more akin to
an emotional version of Sir Isaac Newton's 3rd law of physics, which states:
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
When you act upon someone, they
tend toward acting back in the same manner.
The difference is, the "Equal and opposite Reaction" is not always upon the perpetrator of their distress and sometimes it is not always equal.
Sometimes it is worse and we blow up; sometimes we
squash it down inside us and
vent it out via
artistic or
athletic means.
In any case,
the world is a product of me as
I am a product of the world. So my reasons could be
selfish I suppose. It is something
interesting to
ponder. ;)
