Day 9 - Your Beliefs
My beliefs are pretty straightforward: Whatever metaphysical being is out there keeping watch over us--call it what you want, God, Fate, Karma, whatever--is out there. Doesn't care about what it's being called, will act pretty much independently of whatever it is we do, but occasionally will look down and give us something to brighten our day.
People's base natures are incorrigible. You shape them so they know whether something in their base nature is good or bad so they can train themselves accordingly, but there'll always be that little something in the back of their head, whimpering if nothing else. Those bits can be tamed or channeled through more productive means if you know what you're doing.
Whether or not an action is good or bad can be boiled down to, "who does this benefit, and who does this harm?" An action cannot be bad if it doesn't harm anyone, and an action cannot be good if it benefits anyone. You'll note that I said "harm" and not "offend," because people are easily offended, but not so easily harmed.
If you can wrap your mind around the concept of a glass being both half empty and half full and the benefits of viewing it either way, you should be able to see both sides of an argument.
I got nothing else for today.
