[quote=FlyerInHi]No, individual responsibility is not like religion. We owe it to ourselves and society to be responsible.[/quote]
No we don’t because “responsible” is subjective. Your choices and values are not mine, some align and some contradict. My definition of responsibility might contain things you oppose and vice versa. I may value service to society as time spent in a uniform, any uniform and you may value time spent in a hybrid vehicle. There is no right answer except the answer where you decide that the only right answer is what you deem acceptable, that is the wrong answer every time.
Case and point, I like women with curves. 1st wife, 2nd wife and those in between were not athletic and slim women for the most part. They didn’t need seat belt extenders but they had a little extra here and there. I know that’s not every guy’s thing, but it doesn’t make it right or wrong. You might cast judgements on me for my preference and I might thank you for not sharing my appreciation for what you consider imperfections and creating competition.
Lao Tzu would oppose breast reductions if he were alive today, I’m just trying to keep his spirit alive.
I’ve said it before Brian, you are not a bad guy but you seem to think you are right and you are what everyone wants to be if only they could be like you. It would liberate you to realize you are different from most others and many people want nothing more than to be nothing like you. I know it helped me on the road to self actualization. I know I don’t fit into a political party, I know I don’t fit into a a racial identity and I know that I hold values that others do not, nor do I believe I will convince anyone else to think like me. Try it, it is truly blissful at times.
