I wish to pose a question. Is it better to do what you feel or to do what you think? If I know anything I know that by asking a question, I more that likely already know the answer. The reason I ask this is that somethings been bothering me for a while now and I just couldn't put my finger on it until now, and it manifest itself in the form of a question. What is better to do? We spend most of our time making decisions, hoping that we make the right one. Sometimes our decisions are not what we want to do , but more about what we have to do or visa verse. Honestly that whole paragraph was just dancing around the real issue I'm having. Is it better to what you feel or should you do what you think is right. I myself am at a loss. In terms of relationships and politics I'm coming to find myself not knowing which way is up.
Relationships are a buzz kill. Now that I think about it no relationship ends well. Even a marriage of 70 years ends with the death of the person you love most. Geeze, I'm depressing myself. But I have to get this off of my chest. I might as well use this blog for something. I feel that I've become a prisoner of my own fears. You say, fear? What, the great lip talker having fears. Yes, fear. I should fear nothing but God but maybe thats it. Honestly I try to be good but in the end I feel bad either way. You say, whats good? And if something is good how do we know. Thats the question I've been trying to tackle for a while. I used to solve this problem by not making any decisions. If I liked a girl I wouldn't seek out a relationship but I wouldn't avoid one either. I just would never bring it up and just let things be as they were. All parties involved were free to do as they pleased. But one party wouldn't be satisfied with the arrangement and a question would be posed and a decision had to be made. Once made it's hard to take back a choice. Its like walking through a door that locks behind you. It's hard to separate feelings from your logic when making decisions. Maybe this is why people end up in situations they didn't want to be in.
I could go on forever about how people end up in relationships that they don't belong in but I really want to turn this argument toward the world of politics. Decisions play a huge role in politics, especially when it comes time to vote. 2008 is an election year and frankly I feel the same way about politics as I do relationships. I'm jaded. I tears me up inside when I have to make a choice not knowing which one is going to be the right one. Things are getting bad and its getting harder to know who to trust. The same people who say they have your best interest in mind are usually the ones trying to hurt you the most. Our elected officials consistently propose legislation on behalf of their lobbyists that doesn't have the publics best interest at heart. One example of this is the proposed legislation regarding net(or network) neutrality.
If you haven't heard of this and you're reading my blog then you should do your research because if internet providers like Comcast and AT&T get their way access to this blog and other sites like it might not be possible. The intricacies of this issue are too deep for me to cover in this blog but I can provide you with some links to help educate yourself on both sides of the issue and what you can do to help the cause. PRO PRO CON CON
What upsets me about the net neutrality issue is that we were all doing fine . The internet was doing its thing. Allowing access to billions of websites at the click of a mouse. And we the users were doing our thing, endlessly searching the web for discount books and videos of dancing bananas. Internet providers were getting paid and we were happy paying them. Then the provider got unsatisfied. They saw that they could be getting more from this relationship and now Comcast feels it has the right to pose the question and we have to make a decision. To me t's kind of crazy how things parallel. Who could have guessed that relationships and politics worked in similar fashions.
