My Morality

Definition of morality: Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.

Morality does not rely on others to keep you in check. Everyone has their own set of morals. Their truths of right and wrong, good or bad. And by all means, we are all entitled to our own version of morality.

I am not so kind.

For me there are some things that are so clear cut that I will defend it until the day I die.

Pedophilia is not an alternative loving style. It is a disgusting and those convicted should be castrated. Anyway and anyhow. This includes the removal of testicles of men so convicted. And I will gladly lead rhe charge to bring such a person to justice. Granted while vigilantes are frowned upon there are some instances where I am ok with it.

Yes, morally, I am alright with someone taking their own personal justice on a person who has mauled a child, killing their innocence and life. 

But Jay what about the courts and letting justice take place?

Ask yourself does it?

What is the sentence for a pedophile who is then put into protective custody so as not to be beaten and killed by other inmates?

What pain is inflicted here to deter him from again acting upon their urges?

Where is this coming from?

I am tired.

Tired of all the lies and justifications made to ease the minds of those imposing or acting in a manner unbefitting of the human race.

There is no justification for going in and wiping out infrastructure, destroying homes and life, all for the almighty dollar.

Morality is not shades of grey.

Morality is black and white.

I am tired of war mongering.

I am tired of liars getting elected.

I am tired of hearing that by taxing the rich what they should be paying the world economy is going to tank.

I am tired of rabble rousing and no effort made for peace.

No one goes in and makes a place better for the Indigenous population.

They go in, they rape, murder, kill the land and leave.

Where do we begin to make things right?

Where do we go in a world that obsessed over the doings and whereabouts of actors and actresses?

Where social media is now a job?

Where do we go when people care more about the car their neighbor’s kid is driving rather than the child sleeping in a car because his parents cannot afford rent?

I do not have answers.

Well I do.

Stop coveting what everyone else has.

Stop looking upon others with envy.

Just stop.

My life has not always been sunshine and cupcakes.

And I still struggle with things.

A lot.

But if I could snap my fingers ridding the world of conflict, war and assholes (I may have to back off there) I would.

I am not advocating for a return to Eden.

I am advocating for each of us to cultivate our personal piece of Eden within the realms of possibility.

They Don’t Like Me?

Yesterday during a busy spurt I grabbed a couple of customers and took them over to check out #1.

The first customer was nice.

The second customer not so much so.

I put his eggs into the bag. I take the apples and he immediately tells me not to put the apples with the eggs. Only the bread. I tried to show him that there was space next to the eggs that I could put the eggs. This way I had the second bag so his loaf of bread would not get squished.

He was having none of it and snatched the bag out of my hand. Shoved the bread into the bag and demanded the other ‘bread’ his plastic package of 6 muffins. I watched as he shoved the muffins in onto his bread.

“I really hope your bread doesn’t get squished.”

I don’t think he will let me serve him again.

Which reminds me of a set of customers on Saturday. I pulled one set of customers through and indicated to the people behind that they too could come through my till. They said no, they were just going to wait for the till they were in. Not sure if it is me or what, but I put through 4 sets of customers with average orders before the cashier in front of me finished one.

I closed my till and walked away as she began their order.

If in fact it was me that they did not want to have serve them, well, I would consider that a cutting off the nose in spite of themselves situation.
