why

I think that we don't ask this question enough because as children we are taught not to ask why. We should question everything, even those things we hold most dear. If we don't continually question ourselves and those around us we can not progress as a people.

Arguing with myself

Last night I laid out on my front lawn and let my mind wander to where ever it wanted. After thinking about my sprinkling system and if it was turned on or off and after I thought about work and everyday problems my mind settled on morality. What makes up morality? Who decides what is considered moral, and is morality only a human concern as Albert Einstein hypothesised?
Moral universalism says that morality is universal and that it applies to every person, no matter culture, race, sex, religion, nationality, sexuality, or any other distinguishing feature. Almost everyone will agree that killing some one else is wrong, that's moral universalism. What bout cultures that practiced human sacrifice? How about modern countries that have committed mass genocide? We as a culture condemn killing other people but other places thought it was completely normal. So if something as big as killing people is up for a moral debate how can we possibly decide what is moral and immoral when it comes to dating, life style choices, and so on. Just because you think something is wrong doesn't make it so, others might think it's totally okay.

Mountain Climbing

A man was climbing up a mountain, sadly he fell and broke almost every bone in his body. He was so determined to get up that mountain that he had a friend lower a rope down to him and he held on to the rope with his teeth, when they were near the top one of the men who was pulling the man up called down are you okay? The man answered yesssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wake me up when May ends.

I'm having a rough time expressing how I feel through words today. I feel like a cave man wanting to hit things to show his frustration, or a infant screaming for no apparent reason other than just wanting to scream. The worst part of feeling like a failure is knowing you can do better but being to depressed to do anything about it. I had to struggle to get to work today and I am forcing my self to write this just to see if it will help me gain a different point of view. I have been having a rough month and the future isn't looking brighter.
On second though I don't feel like writing anymore of this down.
