Others Exist.

Just like I exist, and you exist. Others exist. Deal with it.

Others want to be free, to follow their own will, to create, to enjoy, to live.

There are finite things in the world. You’ll need to deal with that too. Finite space. Finite food. Finite lovers. Finite resources. Finite things.

If I was a supreme being, a God, who was stronger and smarter and everything-err, than perhaps I’d be able to live my life with complete and utter disregard for others. I’d just do with the world and others as I saw fit. I’d take everything for myself, and only share to a select few who I saw fit.

As you may know though, I am not a God. No one is a God. The whole idea of Godliness is a human invention. In reality, we are imperfect beings. We have capabilities and many incapacities. For every tall man there is the reciprocal. Same for the fat, fast, strong, smart, and healthy man. You get the point( doesn't matter if you don't....fundas alwayz shoot overhead).

Thus, even if I wanted the entire world to be mine, I couldn’t have it all. I’m telling you now, I am selfish, and want to the whole world as my own, but I cannot have it. Not because of my compassion for others, but simply because I am an imperfect being. I cannot do everything I can conceive of.

Instead of failing miserably in my attempt to hoard the world’s finite things, I decide to share. I divide. I let others have theirs, so long as I get mine. I discuss with others the best way to split things. I debate the best ways to do so. I make sure I get a fair deal, but recognize that you want your way. We eventually come to decisions. We create solutions.

There are other options than being able to have everything and sharing evenly. We could have fought it out, perhaps to the death. But for me at least, this is impractical. Most likely I’d have lost, been injured, killed.

The decision to consult with others and share the world is a choice. It is neither a deed nor a duty.

There are no duties. Life is duty-free.

Everything that we do and believe in, we do so because it is our choice.

We believe in god or gods because we want to believe in god, just as we believe in gravity because we want to.

Mainly we believe in things because these beliefs are useful to us. Useful for our individual and collective needs.

This is why I believe in sharing my thoughts by posting. Not because sharing is a duty, or some eternal truth, or a gift from god, but because sharing is useful to me and people as a whole. A sense of belonging.......very sense of BLOGGING!!!

Cheers people...Keep Sharing...!!!
