Take Risks
People think that they have "bad luck" because they only remember the bad things that happen to them. One should be optimistic, which then will conclude in them finding themselves to be more "lucky" than "unlucky".

I like looking through my eyes, because looking through anyone elses would probably clog up my vision. I prefer my eyes because they were the eyes that I was born with... I like that I was born with these eyes, and not without these eyes. If I were to be born without these eyes, I would have written a book about salty fruit salad(oops, I already did that) and I would enjoy pineapple skins. As I prefer to not eat the skin of a pinapple, or any tough, spikey, yellowiss fruit, I am glad that the eyes I look through are mine.

i suppose i've never questioned these things before...like, "what is green?" try describing the color green to a blind person. there are no direct feelings or characteristics in which you could use to describe the it. you may say, "the grass is green", but that's only because you are relating an object to the color. in themselves, many things are indescribable. it could be possible that i've questioned this before, but briefly and in only enough time to merely know that it's beyond me at the moment. unrecognizable at first glance to the average human being; a fraction of time in which green vanishes from my mind and i've forgetten the complexity. i do this on purpose, but in the end it will drive me crazy not knowing. my philosophy class is amazing - so many things to question, but w/o knowing what questions to ask. i suppose it's mostly awe, which intrigues the mind even more. how would you describe "good"...or "beauty" without example? one of the most interesting concepts may be "large" or "small". as socrates once said, "it is also through largeness that large things are large and larger things are larger, and by smallness that small things are smaller." - giving truth to the idea that we most certainly learn by example. beyond that, what is right? who's say your large is my large? it seems we just seem to know, through some sort of priori knowledge in which this universal knowing keeps us safe -safe from the truth, possibly? we assume. and assume we're right. but what is right if we all have a different definition of the word? and the "real world" in which we live - the country in which we fight for justice. will we ever reach a just society if we don't have an agreeance on it's definition?
socratic ethics are thoroughly intellectualist. i never thought i would find myself understanding such a concept, or if not completely understanding, at least trying to identify. to know the good is to do the good, leaving no room for weakness of will. this is a socratic belief - which also makes an interesting point that i've discovered (maybe not for the first time). If good is to do good and evil is ignorance, i'm intrigued by the thought of asking for forgiveness. If "bad" is carried out, this leaves no room for forgiveness, and if there were an exception to the rule, would the "ignorant" know enough to ask for forgiveness? the people that may need it most have no mindset to comprehend it seems. broken down, it's said that if human beings knew real "good" and "bad", they wouldn't demonstrate the bad. in doing bad, you portray that you are ignorant (or unknowing) of the good. i think christians would disagree...what with the devil's temptation. complexity is slipping my mind, but i must keep questioning things like this.
a "sin" is a willing act, but it seems acceptable in our society to create a negative situation and repent at another time - possibly when it's convenient for us? this is also learned by example and if it weren't, i'd have to ask if evil would still exist. it seems the act of cleansing your sins is an excuse to be "bad" and "born again". no would would commit wrongs and if they did, they would mean it, leading back to the idea that there is no room for weakness of will. only good know good.
i cannot even being to describe the "perfect world". everyone seems to be afraid of this concept..."oh, what a bore", but why would your perfect world be boring? mine certainly wouldn't, if i even begin to break down the complexity of such a concept. there may not be a single person that wouldn't mind a perfect world. when you imagine this world it is natural for you to focus on how this perfection would benefit yourself. people other than you surely do exist, but they are under your command. under your "perfect". indeed a perfect world could never exist because of such conflits. hell, we can't even define the color green, how are we able to comprehend the idea of "perfect", much less agree 100% with someone else on it's definition. in either sense, without a question of agreeing, the perfect world seems harmless, and that may be - but it's up to you to decide.
i don't think we're fully grasping any of this...
maybe it's for the better.
