Morals and Principles.

[Emor]

TBH, it's getting annoying.
I'll do something and then an hour later I'll just completely regret it.
I know it's unethical and I shouldn't, but I do it anyway.
Like yesterday I was in town and a Mormon approached me in the street and he was being nice and stuff and I just laughed at him :/. And then I lol'd at home and stuff.
And now today I feel really ****** about doing it because his intents were good. He wanted to help me, and he must feel desperate and stuff, and all he's trying to do is help people, and I just laugh at him :/.
And it's not the odd time. IT'S ALL THE TIME.
I act like I'm sort of moral authority, and then I go off and treat people like **** :/.
If I see him next week I'll apologise but tbh, I doubt I'll see him. And it makes me feel like a complete asshole.
And it's all the time.
I know what's right and wrong, but I just ignore it when I feel like it.
I did a similar thing today and now I feel like a total idiot. Even though the entire time I knew deep down it was wrong.
IDK. Maybe this is just human nature. But it's something I feel strongly on but I ignore it.
TBH, I think I'm only posting this in the AS board so I can blame it on my AS when I know there's no real excuse.
IDK why I'm posting really.
I just want to vent tbh, and I post the most here.
I'd go and talk to someone online but I don't want to make them feel obligated to listen to me ramble on.
Yeah.
IDK.
Sorry for rambling and stuff. I know this is sort of spam.
Anyone relate...lol?
EMZ.

Argh, we (as in 'we') all feel and behave that way towards it ^_^, simply due to a lot of eccentricity, which allows us to retain logical deductions and much of public ethics simply 'purely philosophically' (as if confining things of public awareness that way). Hug.

 

[BruceCM_Aspergic]

To an extent, it is normal! You'll probably improve as you get older. Don't know just how 'bad' your behaviour is, of course. Doesn't seem THAT terrible, what you've said here.

 

[Emor]

TBH, I've done much worse and then felt terrible days later, even months later, and then went on to do the same thing again.
IDK. I just don't feel like I'm my self anymore :/.
I can feel like I've not done anything wrong for months, and then the guilt just hits me and I feel terrible. Or I know it's wrong but I still don't feel guilt. And then I do later.
It's annoying.
EMZ=]

I know, but I think your original ego is still preserved and intensely aware of what it takes to entirely exist as an authentic unit critically, so don't worry that much.

Have you heard the semi-metaphor that the only thing a crazy person is unable to do is ask if he/she is crazy?

It's often (not always) the same way with 'losing my self' (as in "I just don't feel like I'm myself anymore.")

:shifty:

I am very nearly incapable of knowingly doing something unethical, even if it's something silly. I am the "floor nazi" in my dorm building because everyone hates me because I report violations of the rules. You're just supposed to.

 

[Emor]

. That sucks Ruby. Maybe you should question the college's ethics instead? Rather than just assuming they're correct? IDK. Maybe you're right in doing so. It still sucks people think of you like that.
Thanks Evar .
I think I posted this impulsively. I don't know what it's going to achieve really. I feel a bit better after posting I suppose.
EMZ=]

 

[rikk]

i try to treat family members with a lot of consideration and mostly I succeed, street preachers or people who

come to my door with a bible in hand are targets and nothing more,I get nasty in a big hurry.

I do often offend people without meaning to,so I end up apologizing a lot.

 

[142857]

I tend to be polite to the bible bashers. I don't really know why. There is never a point where they say "thanks for being polite, and I understand that our superstition isn't going to win you over so have a nice day". They will keep trying to shove it down your throat, often with dire warnings of fire and brimstone, until you walk away or close the door on them.

IMO if you are going to go around imposing your belief systems on other people then you are going to get some responses that you don't like. I don't stop people in the street and tell them that they are stupid for believing in God. Or go door-to-door for that matter. I can imagine some of the responses that I would get - and such people would be well within their rights.

"That sucks Ruby. Maybe you should question the college's ethics instead? Rather than just assuming they're correct? IDK. Maybe you're right in doing so. It still sucks people think of you like that."

The first thing that happened, it was the first week of school, I was in the shower in the hall ladies bathroom, and some girl let two drunk guys into the bathroom. So I was alone and naked in the shower and two guys came in! I went and told the RA, but nobody got in trouble because nobody knew who let them in anyway, but a general announcement was made not to do that and they figured out it was me. And when people stand outside my door and make noise at 2am, or go into the stairwell to make their middle-of-the-night phone calls-- which echo into my room, I tell them to be quiet or move. Apparently sleeping and not wanting to shower in front of men are uncool. Or like there's a rule that if something against the rules happens in front of you and you don't report it, you get in trouble too. So I told my roommate not to drink in the room or I would have to tell, because I wasn't willing to risk getting in trouble for her. Even if I didn't agree with the rules, we signed a contract. We promised to follow the rules. :\

 

[Emor]

Well yeah, that's the point.
If I were to go around preaching my beliefs I wouldn't liked to be laughed at.
And he was trying to help me. He's probably desperate and frustrated with the world that they don't understand him and sad that everyone will go to hell .
He took time to try and help people and all they do is laugh.
It's the intent. It just pisses me off I was one of those arrogant ass holes that ignored him.
EMZ=/

 

[142857]

He took time to try and help people and all they do is laugh.

If he wants to help people then he should start a soup kitchen or something. By preaching on the street or door to door all he is doing is proclaiming the superiority of his belief system.

I've been through the mill with these types of people. I am polite and willing to listen when deep down I'd like to say "your belief system is bollocks, perhaps you should take the advice of your God and go forth and multiply". There is NEVER a point at which any of these people respect your right not to adopt their often ridiculous and basically foundless belief systems.

I've been to presentations where I have been told that the existence of God would be absolutely proven. All they did was show certain consistencies in the Bible (such as the fact that God is referred to as "the light" in both the very earliest and the most recent parts of the Bible) and show the fact that many of the events in the Bible have been shown to have a proven historical basis (proves nothing except that the Bible has been around a long time). Basically the idea is that all of the Bible must be accepted as fact because some of it is true and some of it is consistent. And from that point on everyone tends to believe their own cult's "spin" on things.

I would like to be able to tell these people that Christianity is the ultimate doomsday cult, and to stop trying to impose their belief systems on me. But I lack the will to be that blunt with people.

I've lived in Indonesia for 5 years total, the country with the largest Muslim population on Earth. I have NEVER had anyone try to convert me to Islam. I've lived in Thailand for 2 years and I have NEVER had anyone try to convert me to Buddhism. I've worked briefly in India and had a few Indian friends and none of them have ever tried to convert me to Hinduism. Hindus I have known tell me that they find the very idea of trying to convert someone to your religion offensive.

We had to call the police once to get a Mormon off our doorstep. My mom told him she wasn't interested and he wouldn't leave, so she said she was going to call the police and he told her to go right ahead. They scare me now.

ETA: BAHAHA I accidentally said Moron. Thank you, Dr. Freud.

What an idiot.

Ah I don't know. I don't act great when people force their thoughts or beliefs on me either. When people like that come to the door I know I'm gonna be there for like... 15 mins. I'm crap at saying no. So I guess we're opposite on that front. Unless I'm really pissed off, then i'll get rid of them fairly quick.

As for feeling **** and reacting to everything impulsively subconsciously... I don't know. Take a step back, mainly around your friends and family. The general public, not so much.

 

[Willow]

I don't usually mean to do things nasty but end up doing it anyway by accident and not understanding why it was nasty. Then I feel terrible.

Off-topic, but related:

When I was little, we had a Jehovah's Witness come to our door and I answered. He asked me if I had found Jesus. I replied by asking, "Is he lost?"

Also, I had a friend who had a Mormon on her doorstep when she was about ten, and it was right after she learned that Mormons practice polygamy. When she answered the door and he told her he was a Mormon, she screamed, "NO! I WILL NOT BE ONE OF YOUR THOUSAND WIVES!" Then she slammed the door and hid in her room.

:rofl: LOL

Mormon proselytizers are practically everywhere. Jehovah's Witnesses (and scientologists) a little less.

Years and years back, while on a bus (in such an unlikely place), two young men (in black, already married) from Utah insisted on giving me the Moroni Bible (discovered and edited by Joseph Smith) for free. I gladly took it and gave them 'Lacan for Beginners' (the only thing 'appropriate' I could find in my school bag) in exchange for it, instead of saying, "Oh, you're selling an orchiectomic form of religion. Yesterday, a Jehovah's Witness already had so much adrenaline rush with me when talking about cancers and cancer markers in the society."

I'm glad I've never publicly insulted them. I do love them. I love worms and moths too, always.
