College is about finding yourself and finding out what you believe. Youre young. And frankly when you get out of college youll STILL be young. Its good that you can question your own beliefs because it means youre not blindly following a dogmatic rhetoric youve been trained to believe. Youre growing into what you know to be a good set of moral values and finding out for yourself what in this crazy mixed up world actually works for you. Dont worry....Youre on the right path!
Thats the thing though... im not growing towards a set of moral values. I feel I'm growing away from them, becoming a nihilist.. which, in my mind, isn't exactly healthy
as far as your moral problem? i understand. i was the straight laced christian punk, preaching the gosple at the mall and in south american when i was a teenager. and i fully believed it all. and still believe some of it. (cept the gay thingy of course).
howerver i am constantly finding myself asking more questions than getting answers. life keeps throwing things at you constantly. it will never stop doing that.
you just have to be able to accept the fact that you are an ever changing being. every thing you experince impacts you and changes things you think. for me...it had to do with war and me being gay.
Thanks... yes, life is constantly changing.. but we still have to deal with the problems it throws at us. Unfortunately. I just wish I knew what to believe..
Yeah, I just wish there were a framework I could find that would let me apply things to all situations... like "don't kill, respect human life, don't steal.." but I can't even answer those. I don't DO them... because it's not to an advantage, and hurts others to an extent.. but then it gets in the question of what is hurt, why does it matter... etc. It just goes on and on and I never get an answer

I've though maybe there is no one right way to live
Then my grandpa said no one is wrong
Are those two the same thing or mutually exclusive?

once you know what you believe, and stand by that nonstop, you've stopped thinking about it.... and thats pretty fucking pointless
