"Understanding, and action proceeding from understanding and guided by it, is the one weapon against the world's bombardment, the one medicine, the one instrument by which liberty, health, and joy may be shaped or shaped toward, in the individual and in the race..."
Someone once attempted to explain morality to me as a perception. A personal, individual perception that is different for everyone. Is morality simply what you perceive it to be? Maybe it starts with a unique base for each person and is slowly shaped and changed depending on one's experiences and choices. A reasonable explanation? Probably not. Morality is an intangible so difficult to define.
The other night David had a profound comment. "Ashley, do you realize how many things we had done that we always said we wouldn't. Actually, we have done all the things we said we wouldn't do. All of them."
This is how David shed some light on the subject. Or at least pointed out the reality of it. I told him that comment was going straight into my blog, lol.
This realization is sad but true. Or is it sad? Or is it just us, and those close to us making our way through the world defining our lives by delving into all areas of it and experiencing it all?
Socrates did say...
“The unexplored life is unworth living.....” Wow. There's one that will keep your mind busy.
