i have been thinking about all the the good and bad shit. in the world, and in myself, and in poeple. in everything. because it is there. good and bad. you can say and think what you want about it. it is all perfect. or god decides what is good and bad. or that it all just is what it is. but no. there is a good and bad, and it is personally determined. but the thing is, is that there is nothing wrong with bad, and the good is nothing special.

but the good feels good, you know?

i have been thinking about my life a lot. and there is a lot of things in it that i am not happy with. but i have never lied about them. i acknowledge their existance. what i am thinking is that i can focus on what ever i want to. this is what is important. now what is good and what is bad in me. but what i dwell on. if i can notice the bad, but not dwell in it, and instead focus on the good, then i will be set. Maybe i have over simplifed. but i think there is a valuble line of thought here. in my recent ego ups and downs. in my recent ego extreams. when i feel oh so special. and when i feel like shit. i have notieced that i tend to continue which ever i believe to be true. if i think and focus on my good sides then i am more likely to be thoes good things. and if i think about how shitty some of my sides are then i act them out. ***and then there is always that i am what ever i am feeling at any given moment so why not feel good about myself and this world. why not feel good about my work and my town and this world. i wont be naieve, but i will dig for the positive, what ever it is and push that to continue, and the bad shit can dwell other places, creeping out now and then, being experience and understood...but not focused on.

i supose this is not by any streach a complete thought but i am drunk now and it's all i got. so rock on you fucks.
... i mean rock and roll you radical rad's!

it's all about the focus

no action, thought or feeling is inherantly good or bad, it is all a matter of perception.

good / evil, bad right / wrong moral / immoral ect... i really dont believe these things exist except in conditioned responses taught by our influences and family to have toward actions and thoughts. half a world away people have very differet ideas of what these words or feelings are, even opposite to how we feel, does that make them wrong? i guess what i am trying to say is that i agree with eli, its all a matter of perspective, but also geography and socialization. when iy comes down to it not only are action thoughts and feelings not inherantly bad or good but that neither of these ideas or feelings exist without the polar opposite. without good there is not bad and without bad there is no good. we measure one by the other. i think that doing good by yourself is all that matters. living day to day is a feat in itself but when you dwell on these things you can get stuck, you can lose sight of the most important thing, which is to accually live your life.

i too think that good and bad are a matter of perception. i am saying that from my perception certian things are good and bad to me. this is all i know. i do not know if there is a good and bad as far as the world goes or god ect. i can only judge from my own perception, thus this is what is important to me.
i do think i am reading too deeply into this philosophy though, and sometimes forgeting to just live.

You cannot have one without the other. In all things good there is evil just has there is good in evil too.
