Morals and questioning them

April 26, 2011
There are the big questions. Is stealing wrong? Is killing ever okay? But the fact is, there's always exceptions to justify stealing or killing. Stealing your friend's handgun so he doesn't shoot his wife. Stealing your neighbor's car because your wife is going into cardiac arrest and you know the ambulance won't get to your house in the country fast enough. Killing in self defense.
That doesn't mean the majority of times that people steal or kill is right, it just means there are a small number of exceptions.
So I say screw the big questions. Those arguments can go on and on. Because there's a lot of grey area that comes with them. I want to talk about the questions and moral dilemmas that effect me directly--and the people around me. So let's begin.
In a minute. There's something I didn't cover. Forgiveness. Forgiveness is a nice idea, but it's not always something you should utilize. To paraphrase my thoughts on forgiveness, those who never forgive will never have friends, but those who forgive too much will have the most poisonous friends around them. The healthy friends that the latter group of people might have had will abandon them because honest people do not want to have a friend who will expose THEM (the honest person) to poison. So now--without any more false starts--let's begin.
Honesty. Loyalty. Candor. These are the things I hold myself to, and the things I trust those around me to hold themselves to as well.
What exactly do these things mean to me, though? Honesty is being able to answer all questions to the fullest truth, obviously. But honesty must go hand in hand with candor. You must not only divulge all details--no matter how hurtful--without covering them up, but you must offer them WITHOUT being asked. If you cheat on me--or your boyfriend/girlfriend--fucking tell them. You've already one one crime with stealing, don't compound it. And that means compounding it with time. Think about it. What hurts more? Finding out your boyfriend cheated or finding out your boyfriend cheated on you a year ago and took that whole year to tell you? Most likely waiting a year kinda hurt a bit more. Loyalty for me boils down more to just common decency. If you're going to classify yourself as someone's friend, act like it. Invite them out to things. Be there for them when they're down. Call or text on at LEAST a semi-regular basis. Just act like a friend. Don't make them feel unwanted. If they're a real friend, they won't want to make you feel unwanted either.
There are different "crimes" against these ideals, and they are all on different levels. Thus my summary on forgiveness above. From here, I'll tell you the ways you can break my trust and never have forgiveness from me again. Going after an ex of mine--especially a major ex of mine. Sleeping with that ex. I've axed at least 3 friends from my life for doing varying levels of this crime. Me, being too soft, I still have not axed that ex from my life. Love can stop you from doing what is necessary. I do not forgive her at all, and never will, but yeah. That's the story of that.
If you're not honest with me. If you lie or I have to hit the nose on the nail for you to admit something to me, then I'm gonna get tired of that pretty damn quick.
Frankly, to cover everything I want to say, I need to divide and conquer this. So if I'm up to the challenge of expanding this into 5 smaller different blogs/vlogs, then look forward to a bigger and more complete view on this.
Catchphrase!
