so 'we' as a whole consider what's right? think if you do something 'wrong' you have to come up with excuses, right? if you do something considered 'right,' what? you're a good child, go right on ahead without thinking and just following the rules. hey, why not, even drink some beer, that'll keep ya edgy.
not that i don't agree with most of what's 'right' and what's 'wrong.' i mean, i don't want to be a serial killer. but seeing as how i'm not 'cut-out' to tackle the 'major issues,' i spend time looking at what 'we' consider 'right' and 'wrong' in less profound circumstances.
take for example, communication. i understand that generally this is more culturally defined, and especially sub-culturally, whereby i mean 'central pennsylvania' vs. 'pittsburgh area,' even vs. 'The South.' or of course, USA vs ENG. etc. what became known as 'right' and 'wrong' ways of communication came about because of reasons that don't really mean anything to 'us' now. anyway, what's interesting about all this is that we can watch 'language' and 'communication' evolve as we grow older. as our generation becomes more dominant, what 'we' thought mattered becomes what america thinks matters (in those less profound ways, i.e. entertainment, ways of interacting, what's considered interesting or intelligent). hmm, maybe it's more practical to pander to your own generation. maybe it's more practical to be practical, heh.
on now to other blah
i hate being restricted by public opinion. i do everything i possibly can to rebel against it but still 'fit in.'
another thing. i hear people say about comfort breeds complacency. as soon as i hear anyone say anything i start looking to prove the opposite. nothing different here. i'm thinking, for me, that the more comfortable i am the more i flourish. as soon as there's a hint of stress i lock down in a way. i was uncomfortable with what college expected from me and so i slowly recessed deeper and deeper into the comfort of my mind. i may have looked comfortable because comfort is the most important thing to me for my happiness. it might make me content but not complacent by any means. the more comfortable i am the more risks i take because i can always sink back down into the happiness of my daily routine.
come on feel the illinoise

The way I see right and wrong is that if I do something, then it is right. That includes killing people, by the way.

hmm, you seem like this Kay Richardson guy i've been reading of.
no, but really, those ants? serving them vodka is probably just what they wanted, i would imagine, at least, based on my personal, human experiences.
