Even amongst close friends and family there inevitable differences in fundamental outlook become apparent. The childhood memory of my Dad (the Labourite) arguing with my Uncle (The Tory) as comes to mind. Sometimes the arguments would getter bitter and never the twain shall meet...will the two sides ever be reconciled? Who knows?
But here's my frame - I am a selfish fuck - I care about myself, friends and family most - I want them to thrive but I believe in personal destiny - everyone should be free to pursue their highest calling. I reject fear based attempts to control others through shame I reject the notion of original sin - in it's Christian form and in it's Liberal Guilt form.
I believe in reasonless happiness as an ideal, right now, in the terrible world of our. I believe in fucking off those people who wish for your downfall and spreading the good vibes to those who are open to receiving them. I believe in being unselfconscious, not trying to look "clever", not trying to solve all problems, not trying to control everything and everybody.
I believe the fate world is beyond our collective control and unfolds mysteriously. My way of helping people would involve spreading joy and teaching them to be free of oppression. I can't help everyone but maybe a few people. I'll be motivated out of compassion and if I do wrong then remorse...but not out of shame and fear.
I bet at least of some of you think sounds naive, idealistic, selfish, impossible, irresponsible and anything else you can think of....And the thing is - I just don't care...which is just how you feel when you are joyously and uncontrollably laughing or swept up in some other joyous ecstatic experience, sexual or otherwise...
