FOOD FOR THOUGHT

If life is an experiment I try to conduct myself accordingly immersing in it's rich culture, ideologies, philosophies, and history as often as possible. Framing my thoughts and feelings through various mediums as a way of paying homage to the greats throughout history while allowing for my own personal adaptations. Using my blog to preserve my thread in as many different situations as possible, selfishly documenting and coming clean in a way to the rest of the world. Where most would try to hide or deny their humanism with all of its flaws I try to face it head on embracing it to see what if any new discoveries I can find. 


As it were we seem to be biologically engineered to only do two things correctly, sex and violence; or if you would like to look at it from a theologian or philosophical stand point 50% good, and 50% evil. Which would mean in any given situation where your forced to make a decision you have a 50/50 chance of doing the right or wrong thing, then a 50/50 shot of that decision working out considering of course we lived in a perfect world. 


We've decided that this is too lofty of an ideal choosing to impose rules and systems that shoot the odds astronomically in favor of the negative. I find the whole thing insane really and struggle to understand why then we tack on a social cost for individual failures. If you agree to go along with the madness at least take the time to be aware of it so you might empathize with your fellow man. 


If we look at some of the most powerful and successful agencies/structures in the world who see and expect a 90+ percent failure rate why should we hold each other to any other expectation. I'm not insinuating we lower our standards, but sort of find our hearts again in hopes that people start taking more risks, try new things, and follow their dreams. It takes no skill or talent to criticize much more to find the good in an idea or individual with the intent of lending your resources and expertise for the greater good. There's no reward for being selfish, defensive, and uncooperative. That's reserved for the more noble among us.
