and now for something completely different
this is much more in the vein of how I used to write
I used to be more of a thinker than a feeler, you know
the experiences I've incurred seem to have informed my vocabulary a great deal
allowing this meditation to be properly articulated



Why be good?
Be good because you hate to be hurt.
Not conforming to the wolves is it’s own reward.
It is stubbornly refusing to accept their worldview as your own.
It’s been said that without a god, there’s no plan, there’s no meaning, so there’s no morality.
Perhaps this is true.
However, what good is being religious if when your big brother looks away, you’d not seek to please him anymore?
There is no proof either way.
Don’t believe everything you read. God’s word is stained by the hands of men.
It’s very possible they have transcribed it. They most certainly have translated it.
Then again, the contradictory nature of the issue of holy scripture could be a test of your faith.
Faith is the key word. Evidence does not weigh on the side of religious texts.
However, those who hold the nihilist faith can’t prove theirs either.
Confusion and assumption bloom.
As a result, some experience life in absolute value.
There is no pain or pleasure: only sensation.
There is no transgression or affection: only interaction.
Without an internal code, they confirm their faiths.
They become the Void that reigns over them.
I refuse to walk the path of the Stranger; I do not debase life so.
I am the absurd mystic, offering sacrament to this poker face Universe.
Why worship an existence that allows a child to starve to death without apology?
It is a miracle, a gift for the child to have lived at all.
Death surrounds us, for dying is the natural state of life.
Life is so fragile. Why deny it more than the universe already does?
My morals are not for this universe to decide.
Courage in the face of uncertainty is the origin of good.
