moar filosofies lolll
I seem...to finally have found the piece of philosophy I need to follow to get my life in order. Can't say for certain, but sure as hell I've been thinking.
Naturally, it's a piece of philosophy that everyone should be following. And naturally, this can impossibly be the case. 8-P
The thing is...science has shown that a human, as a whole, is designed (or adapted, if you prefer that line of thought) for happiness. Happiness, joy, order...it's all completely natural for a human being. Unhappiness, anger, sadness, however...are not. It hurts the body. We read it in the papers every so often; people getting angry often are more vulnerable to heart diseases, smiling and laughing is good for the body...
So the thing is, when someone does something to hurt someone else (and I mean it intentionally, since we all unintentionally hurt people every now and then), to cause this pain towards someone else, this unnatural feeling that we humans aren't meant for...
...how can they possibly believe that they are doing the right thing?
For this philosophy to work, I initially thought that everyone needed to follow it. Sure enough, making everyone on the planet understand that violence and hard words isn't the right thing would probably work for the better, but it's an impossible feat. And thus, I'm back to the beginning again, rehashing philosophies along with thoughts.
Thing is...it doesn't matter how many follows such a line of thought. I can't adapt this "nobody else does it so why should I" thought this time. If the philosophy is correct (and in my eyes, it would be), I should try my best following it, no matter what anyone else's stance on it might be. No matter how many derogatory words are thrown my way, no matter how many punches are thrown in my face. Rehashing memories only increases my anger towards the culprits, and this shows I'm no better than they are. Unhappiness tears down. Happiness builds up.
No, it's not easy, but it's worth it. It must be worth it. I have to force myself into thinking in these ways, but it must be worth it.
