Morality & Meant To Be - June 14 2006
June 14 2006...

Today reminded of many things...
Around this day one year ago, I stopped playing a game that I didn't want to play.
On this day, I made a promise that I have yet to fulfill.
And now, on this day, as much as I dislike games, it seems that I should play the game again, only this time I will be playing, no longer walking in with a handicap...but completing this entry one year later, I find I cannot walk this path with my head held high
Maybe its the way summer affects me, caged inside a school, my thoughts run wild; but then changing for the better or worse, who is someone to judge? In one person's eyes, you may be changing for the worse, but others may think you have become stronger. Perhaps this applies to morals as well; as long as you can convince yourself that what you are doing is right, then perhaps it is okay to be immoral. Since the more you look at it, the perception of immorality is really relative, and not absolute. But then again, if you convince yourself of a lie or a fact, then do something that is immoral to many people, are you still moral?
Another statement I recalled today:
"Things that should have happened between friends would have happened if it was meant to be".
Now what exactly does 'meant to be' mean? At the end of the day, isn't it the thoughts and actions of the two people that drive this 'meant to be'? So now what if your thoughts and actions are contradictory? Then does that mean these two can never be?
If whenever you get close, you forcibly pull yourself away, can you call that not meant to be? Or even worse, if you finally acted, but then deny ever acting for the sake of friendship, is that not meant to be?
Those that believe this must think that humans do not have the capacity for change. If that be so, then people that were together will never be apart, and people who were never together would never be together. People do change, as it is this very characteristic that wonders in this world can appear...but like all great things in this world, this same trait can lead us to ruin.
So in the end, maybe if we were all more immoral, then maybe what was meant to be CAN actually be... or perhaps morality is not the issue here, but rather, what should be CAN actually be, if only we are brave enough to take that blind leap of faith...
