A child plays house. An adult makes an important life decision. Other than that, there is no difference. I think the role of the parent is to introduce life-consequences to children without them actually having to suffer consequences that are too harsh because the child may not be aware of the consequence of sticking his fingers in an electrical outlet, for instance, or deciding they will be a man or woman for life when they don’t have that capacity to make that decision. Heck, I don’t even think people are equipped to decide if they should be married at an age of less than 30 because nobody knows what they want at a younger age.
No one is willing to settle on what is right or wrong anymore.
Right and wrong is subjective but surely there is an age that is too young to know what they want and therefore probably shouldn’t be granted the opportunity to make decisions with grave consequences, but then again there is a view that if kids want to eat laundry detergent, then we should allow the stupid to exterminate themselves. It’s all subjective.
I will say it again: Meddling with the causality of nature could very well be our undoing - I just do not think we know enough yet to say.
Well, my perspective is that it’s all a game or play anyway, so none of this is terribly serious.
I have a feeling our current worldwide culture(generally speaking) is out to defeat itself.
Success is its own undoing. I know this for sure: if you have a pine forest, one bug can leave you with a barren field. Anytime in nature that you collect together one species too similar then it will be wiped out.
It brings me to my next thought - what good are rules if nobody can agree on the rules to have
I suppose too many rules are better than no rules.
- what good is individuality and celebrating it so much when it seems to be destroying what we once were
Where is individuality? I don’t see that at all, but only people copying each other. I am the only individual I know.
Everyone thinks different in an effort to be just like each other:
- should we or should we not follow nature and our obvious design and why sit on our hands wondering about it all.
Work with the grain of nature or against it if you want to lose.
