Blah blah blah, I'm vociferous
I've been doing a lot of good thinking, lately.
Yes, my lack of internet access is to blame. With my typical brain-drain gone I've actually got time to think.
I've finally lost my last real shreds of sympathy for the human race, as a whole. I'm still capable of appreciating and caring for individuals (a small, small number of them) but on the whole, I'm either apathetic about or disgusted by the human race. That is, I don't care enough to consider them, usually, and when I do I'm disgusted.
I've become a much more outspoken person, as well. I'm ceasing to worry about offending people. I don't actively attempt to - there's no need to be rude - but if they happen to dislike what I have to say when I do speak my mind, they can kiss my ass.
I'd rather like to have a girlfriend right now. Or, more percisely, a close and affectionate female companion. I have, in my male friends, companionship, trust and loyalty - but there is something altogether different and pleasing about female companionship. There is something inherently comforting and alluring in the female form and some substantial, base need is sated by feminine affections.
Of course not just any female attentions would do - I'm very picky. Right now I find grace and decisiveness the two most attractive traits in a woman, by far. Of course intelligence and an at least similar outlook on life matter, as well. After that, loyalty and affection. And respect - so importantly, respect. I must respect a woman to want her and she must, in turn, respect me for any degree of real connection to be possible.
Lastly, my stance on a debate I've had a few times, recently:
Humans are not inherently good or evil. Humans are inherently human. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good and evil are subjective concepts which can not be used as an objective standard of measure. Even if the most basic definitions of good (helping others) and evil (harming others) are used, there is still no convincing evidence or real measure of human goodness or evil. The average human is concerned with their own well-being. They, typically, do not inconvenience themselves to help or hurt another. There are of course individuals who are exceptions to one degree or another and there are extrenuation circumstances which create temporary exceptions to the rule - but in all my observations of humanity, it generally holds true that people will not inconvenience themselves for the sake of another.
Therefore, humans are inherently human. Nothing more, nothing less.
