i want a drawer neatly organized with spectacles of ever shade of color known to man in a rainbow-esque spiral.
id get to
wake up every day and think about which way id like to obstruct reality. some days id get a bit too excited and switch off two pairs a day. im sure.
what color shall the world be today?
what spectacles do we already have on is the question. precisely.
but thats not what i wanted to write about.
what i wanted to write about was human nature.
hhhmmmmmm
so heres the question i have been posed and must answer:
are people good because of conditioning or because of something inside of them naturally.
my first steph-esque instinct is to say a bit of both.
but then i have to re-think that. what proof do i have for the latter part? i surely have proof for the former.
here it is.
i think that the love of kin is the overlooked aspect. it starts with the immediate family and diffuses over the less related getting weaker. you have the same feeling for your race or country, for instance, but the feeling is not of such a caliber.
this love and kinship is what fuels the tribes which fuel the civilizations which fuel the constructs conditioned into us.
where does this come from?
easy, it comes from natural selection.
god dammit. science is so un-romantic.
but then why is it that some people can love their family but steal from their neighbors of the same ethnic group? some people steal from their own families!!
of course these are 'bad' people. they are looked down upon by society. but, why does this happen? one is a lack of resources. they need food or shelter and have to take it from anybody-
but suppose there was a man or woman who had everything they needeed for survival and then some and then they stole from their neighbor or family for sheer greed.
this is a 'very bad' person. society hates them. but, why does this happen? it seems as if this person is missing a key ingredient in their charactor that their countrymen have. either that or they have an extra ingredient.
im afraid to say that i cannot go any furthur on account of id have to study the person. if they had also a deep love for their family that would make them very very interesting.
its all society though. thats the only reason vikings could have peace of mind while raping and pillaging. haha vikings.
i wish i could come up wit
