Is there a moral, a principal or a value you that you are willing to give everything for, including your safety and even your life? what is that point? if there is one if we have any integrity. we must have something we uphold. do we hve no morals? no value? no principals?

We only have ourselves to go on, and it’s enough…" -Charles Bukowski "Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear.

Quoting: Hope_Full be very careful what you ask for. I'm not asking *for* anything. I'm merely posing the question. I think we're in this pickle because we're way, way, way too complacent. Then again, who among us is ready, willing and able to stand in front on a tank and put their own life on the line? |

It's about maintaining one's self-respect and having the integrity to stand up for your principals. Saving the world is too great a feat. It's overwhelming and hence, no one engages. But in all actuality, we should at least retain our morality as individuals.

The only to fix things is to have total destruction (a la WWIII) Maybe the ones remaining on the other side will remember and not let things go astray the way they are now. DSL is better than cable! :) |
