Too much!

I can't decide whether I am a moral being or a coward. Should I do what I want or what I think is right? (But is that what is right? or merely what others think is right?)

even though its not perfect, i recommend you read Mere Christianity and the Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis..and then maybe some Hermann Hesse

Do what you want to do, unless you don't think what you want to do is right. If you do things that you think aren't right, you'll most likely regret it later. Unless you're Zac.

morals are fun like that. i have a guess that in general, what people think is right is what people they very much respect think is right. that made more sense in my head, but i think you get it. probably because we want to emulate the people we respect - we improve ourselves by becoming more like people we think are better than us.

anyway, i'm pretty sure you know what i'd suggest, but i'll say it anyway =D. do what you think is right. remember that jack sparrow line. and if what you want to do doesn't conflict with what you think is right, why, you can go ahead and do that too =).

back to academic slavery...take care!
