We all possess within us the capacity for a whole range of good and evil. We’re dynamic, selfish, creative, and destructive. We have the capacity to do a lot of good in the world, as well as bad.
I believe outsourcing responsibility to god or the devil, and making ourselves smaller, is a manipulation of high control religion. I take responsiblity for who I am and the impact I have during my lifetime.
I believe when we die, we’re done. No afterlife, no grand redemption. We’re alone (in a cosmic sense). The time we have now is the only time we get, and there’s beauty in that.
I believe sexuality and gender aren’t polar, and anyone who believes they need to chose either end of the spectrums are buying into the pressure of a broken system.
I believe everyone thinks they’re the good guy in the story. How we handle learning we’ve harmed others, or that our intention doesn’t actually matter, is the true test of our character.
I believe capitalism leads to greed, and that billionares shouldn’t exist. The problems of the world could be solved if the ultra rich were just a little less rich.
