So ~beezy63 and I just had this deep philosophical conversation about religion, human rights, and morality. I was actually surprised to see that our views were a lot more similar than I had thought, even if we didn't quite see things eye to eye. But when she had to go, she said one thing that go me thinking. She said I was "legitimately open-minded". But what makes an open minded person?

I like to think myself as open minded. But that's just what I like to think. What makes me different then another person?

Today, I was surprised to find out that there aren't actually a lot of people who act like me.

I'm really lax around people. I don't care about your religious beliefs or your race. The only thing I really do care about it how you act towards me. If you're genuinely a nice person, I'll be nice back. If you're rude and obnoxious, I'll be snarky back. That's just the way it works. I'll let you know if I don't particularly care for you, but typically it's your attitude and not what you beleive in.

What you believe is your business and it's not up to me to mess with. (-coughcoughBrandoncoughcough-) So when I'm faced with ignorance, I get really frustrated and I don't know how to deal with them.

I'm not saying that I'm fabulous and everyone should act like me. I just find it interesting that us humans find it necessary to meddle with each other so much. Just because we happen to be the dominant species doesn't take away from the fact that we are animals, and will always act like it. Everything we do is based on basic emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, fear, etc.)and we still have a tendency to act out with violence over things that don't really seem to matter.

What if dolphins were the dominant species? Turtles? Dogs? Giraffes?

We don't try to pry into the minds of these animals, so why do we mess with each other? Does the Truly Open Minded person really exist?

Everyone feels prejudice, and everyone is judged by those around them. So we can't really get upset from something everyone does, can we? Doesn't that make us huge hypocrites? How can one be open minded if we have these prejudices in us from the beginning? We grow up with them, and though they can change over time, does not take away from the fact that they exist. I for one, know that I'm rather prejudiced to the "ghetto" kids at my school. I have a mindset that they don't try hard enough and are a bother to deal with in class. Does that mean I'm right? No. That's just the way I think and it's wrong of me to assume that none of them care.

So it seems to me that even though people can seem open minded they don't act that way all the time. We have our moments, but we don't have those moments all the time.

....I have no idea where I'm going with this. Just something I was thinking about...What about you? What's your view on this?

So I was there at my clarinet lesson right? And my teacher told me to play a note that I had no idea how to play. Nobody had ever told me how to play the note. And yet, as I stared at my clarinet, my fingers nudged the right keys without me knowing it. My teacher tried to show me that I knew the note when I really had no idea what I just did.

I think there's a little gerbil inside my head that controls me like a puppet and makes me create conspiracy theories about....gerbils in my head.

Okay, enough about that.

More about my paranoia. XD

You know that friend I was in a spat with? The one who made Autumn cry all the time?

Well I've always been kind of scared of him. He'd always ask me if I could come over to his house, even though he knew my mother didn't like me going out, especially since he would be the only one there and like, a guy. We both like to light things on fire, but while I stuck to candles he leaned on arson.

So he sends me this IM after like six months have passed since our spat, saying how he'll always love me as a sister and that even though I hate him he'll still love me, or something to that effect.

I'm even more scared of him now

Now on that delightful note. GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE.

-shotshotshot-

I am beginning to wonder why exactly I bother paying attention at school. All of my classes seem to be breeding places for idiots who never get anything done. I end up getting pissed at them and not doing my work. But then again, I have to tomorrow because Beffy is sick and Beffy requires homework. So I'll do that.


I WILL BE EVE DILIGENT AND HEROIC IN YOUR PLACE. AS IS THE DUTY OF A SIDEKICK.
