"Devil and Mr.KM"

Dec 08, 2007 01:11

I haven't read any books since I got very into fishing lately. I know I am getting stupid and my brain doesn't work as well as when I was in university. so I decided to read some book.
"The Devil and Miss Prym." I've already read Paulo Coelho's book,"Alchemist". I like his words but it feels that the story is too spiritual. well... I studied in philosophy so I always see whether or not the the plot has good causal relationship. if results doesn't follow from causes, the story goes nowhere and therefore, it won't be a good story.
anyway, Coelho has philosophical insights, many experience.

What would I do if I were in Miss Prym's position? Would I just do that immoral thing in order to take the gold bar that makes me not have to work to make money for rest of my life? hmm... I don't know.
I always want to be moral person although I sometimes do bad things. I think that Human beings are naturally good. I mean people are good in the state of nature but the society that people belong to makes people evil and greedy. well... maybe people are natually evil in some sense. I am not sure. one thing that I am certain about is that the majority of people in our society are selfish and egoistic. People fight, lie, deceive eath other and stealing other's properties. Nobody likes this kind of things and yet, they don't realise that they actually do such thing in order to fulfill their interests.

I really want to be a good person regardless of whether or not there exists God or heavens. That is probably why I studied philosophy although I learned very different things from what I expected.
I want to be a good person and I want to meet good people and be treated nicely. I don't want to lie because I don't want to be deceived. I don't want to hurt people because I don't want to be hurt. I don't want to steal any girl from any guy because I don't want to have my girl friend stolen from anyone if I had one.
I want to be good to everyone, even to the people I used to hate.
