I wish love at first sight were really possible. I saw a girl on a bike today and i fell in love. But we all know that isn't really love. Just lust. Cause i don't know anything about her soul. But her smile sure made me want to believe it is beautiful, and full of life. That she could make me happy just by sitting across from me at a coffee shop.
I think that it is going to be very hard for me to find the "right" girl now. No longer being a believer, but still holding to a lot of the truths. I think this is why we should teach philosophy to children. Not only do we not teach religion in public schools, we do not even teach a way of thinking about morality. It makes sense why kids end up like stupid little fucks. They don't even know how to rationalize right and wrong. Not that christian kids know how to do that, but at the very least they have someone telling them what's right and what's wrong.
It is largely the problem of parenting. Stupid people raising stupid kids. I use to have the idealistic notion as a kid that as people grew up they learned how to behave, learned how to be fair, and kind. But this is far from the truth. As an adult i have realized that character stays the same, that while people gain responsibility, they don't always gain maturity. Hence i have two divorced uncles who can't pay rent and mooch off of my grandma and parents. Both of whom have multiple children. Who are also making poor decisions. I rest my case.
Maybe this is natures way of keeping the population under control. Stupid people tend to die quicker. If only stupidity meant infertility.
This is why i need an intelligent wife. So i can feel secure in copulating.

I have been wondering, what is right, and what is wrong? I agree with you in this post, we should, most definately be teaching childen ways to think and process in order to make more informed decisions about life. But it's difficult. So difficult that we employ a large, purple dinosaur to do it. We need Dora the Explorer to show children how to share, and be gentle. Love seems to be a topic that's not touched until later. The OC, Hills, and other reality shows have been our subtle instructors.
If we, as more informed individuals, taught these in which we see a great deficit, then what would we really teach? Whose morality? Who's ethics? Maybe just what's common knowledge - but what, these days, is common knowledge? And where does it come from? How do we know? And what is the truth?
Who, these days, has an answer? Those we are willing to listen to, the scientists, are not into philosophizing. They won't tell us what it means. Though, by inferrance, lead us to indifference. Atleast that is my experience.
