Don't Expand Your Mind

Open it. The blog is not titled, "The Truth is Outside You" for a reason. There are two true answers in the universe. The first is that there is a "better". That is true, there is more or less pain, more or less happiness, emotions and feelings that we prefer or find pleasurable. Then there is "right", that refers to sharing in both pain and pleasure rather than just hording the pleasurable.

Selfish people fear pain more than do the unselfish. They either seek to justify this by saying that we are all responsible for our own happiness or saying that "others" deserve more pain. Both are lies, we do effect each other and nobody deserves pain. It is too strange a concept, to deserve pain. I want people to do good, not bad, I want people to be better to one another, not harsher.

Nope, the truth is inside you, you know when you can be more helpful, when you are cheating and lying, when you have given what you could and when you didn't stand up for what you knew was right when you could have. The truth is what is right, hey, I think that is what we got from Eve eating the apple, knowledge of good and evil, the truth. We were not given all understanding, we were given a conscience and that knows good and evil. If you are a Christian or Jew and believe the bible then you must admit that you know right from wrong. If you listen to others tell you the answers than you are not listening to God, you are ignoring your conscience because they gave you a justification for being selfish in the guise of the justification (usually that this is best for everyone garbage).

Many people seek to "expand" their minds, this always seems to entail getting an answer from another rather than following one's own conscience. I don't need nor want someone to give me the answers and God certainly didn't give them all in the bible. Guidelines at best and we tend to fail. Christianity is the only religion that tells you that you can never get it right, that you are always imperfect. Okay, Buddhists believe you can become perfect and cease to exist. If you cease to exist, how is that perfect?

People complain about being thought of as sheep; but, they are by and large. Always chasing a cookie, always looking for a shortcut to the cookie. To know more than you can learn is to be a sheep.

What do you think of this link?

There is a new television show coming out called "Falling Skies" and I still don't watch television. I saw it advertised on the sides of buses and wondered what the plot was. Apparently, aliens attack the earth and humanity tries to keep alive. I don't care about the rest of the plot or the show.

I went to the website and was trying to find a commercial for it. Instead I found something a little creepy. One section of the site is a tab called "Last Defense", if you type in your address it will show you your home and neighborhood being destroyed. I am guessing that it is liked to google maps. Anyone knowing your address can now look at your house, your car, your front yard, your back yard.

The government has been able to do this for at least 40 years, I don't really mind that much. My ex, people I don't like, co-workers, people I never met should not have that sort of ability. I am going to leave a link, as I plan on ending the blog soon, I hope people find this site and follow the link. It is to an organization called "Electronic Privacy Information Center". It constantly talks about your PRIVACY and what technology is leading to.

Now, I am not sure that I trust these people. There are privacy issues that I do not believe should be negotiated for everyone by anyone. One of the current issues is Facebook's ability to use facial recognition software to find pictures of you on other sites. The "solution" will be to give you the choice to opt in or out of the program. I would charge people with treason for even attempting to use such software.
