Not taking risks in bad situations... chocolate tastes better.

What works for you, not necessarily what best works for you, but what works for you in a sense of relation to shed light on a matter is important.

I think my philosophy professor in logic says it best, "People often try to get the better of one another."

This is an accurate assumption.


I want to put my feelings (in a perspective) and exhibit a quality of my emotions openly and freely. Yet ensuring that with every situation my best is offered with a proper orderly manner. To achieve this takes a lot of practice, and above all training or developing the minds landscape to do so effectively.

These are not my first choice of thoughts. Mine are much deeper than that. I think writing is a means to develop this intrinsic revelation of myself, but I digress. Feelings are both inspirational and foreboding. I think or feel rather, that life is a constant predicament that one has the envious task of having fate sitting at the palm of their hands and destiny is the direction which these same hands aim to yonder. One need constantly discover.

You cannot expect anything, from anyone in life. This is safe to presume. I really don't want to think or keep to myself that everyone who is anyone makes themselves feel that they are better than another, for their may not exist a lesser truth. I exist to reveal these sentiments.

There exists in life something called ability. Its essence requires from us all a quality by which we apply ourselves. This of which is a sense we commit to and find who we really are by figuring out as much as possible about ourselves. We inquire in question what is better known as our spirit.

Emotion. Doing things in slow motion, will help you get better fast. Think and react, then make sure your soul is in tact. Love one and all. Always love those who are most important to you.

Even amidst my daring pride, for all that I find holler is to smile upon with not a frown but with grace.


Ethical Relativism: Who's to Judge What's Right and Wrong?

Ethical relativism is the doctrine that the moral rightness and wrongness of actions varies from society to society and that there are no absolute universal moral standards binding on all men at all times. Accordingly, it holds that whether or not it is right for an individual to act in a certain way depends on or is relative to the society which he belongs.

Ethical relativism holds that there are no universally valid moral principles, but rather that all moral principles are valid relative to culture or individual choice.

Kant: Deontological Systems

Every rational being is able to regard oneself as a maker of universal law.

Kant: Categorical Imperative

The principle of ends, is: "So act as to treat humanity, whether in your own person or in that of any other, in every case as an end and never as merely a means."

Maxim (M)

Second order principle (CI) > rejected maxims

First order principle (P) surviving maxims

Reason in history (Hegel)

That spirit is Freedom Hegel shows in our text in three ways. Man is part Nature and part Spirit, but his essence is Spirit. The more man develops spirituality, the more he becomes conscious of himself, the more he becomes himself, that is, free.
