Confusion

[lnr]

Head in a whirl, moral dilemmas, when is cheating cheating?, is it my problem?, can I even stop if I want?

And why the fuck do you wake up at 7am or so when you've been up late, and not even drinking eh?

Mind I might be confused but hell so far it's been worth it.

We end up making our own set of 'right and wrong' so it's all going to be subjective. And I know my rules change and evolve with me, so it gets extra-confusing. It's much easier to be an idealistic seventeen-year-old.

One of the things that religion (ime) give people is a shared set of morals that they should live by - especially where your religion is your community. Of course, these are someone *else's* idea of right and wrong, so people struggle with them, and break them. And they're often enforced with fear, which is not a good thing.

I've got my (changing and evolving) set of rules, and I usually go along with them. When I break them I feel bad. When I was meant to be religious (school imposed) I broke everything I could whenever I could and felt better for it. Being told something was wrong made it more enticing.

Gah! Witter! I should stop stating the obvious now.
