i agree with the taoist philosophy almost completely...
but not quite.  i believe that people are born naturally
good, and if let alone they will do what is right.   but, i
also think that no one  has the ability to judge what is
right and wrong for another human being.  i think that
we all have our own ideas.  one may  think that it's ok
to go and kill someone, and one may not think that it's
ok (i for one..don't) but, what i'm saying is..that person
that does go and kill someone when in their  mind they
think  it's wrong, is  definately  commiting a 'sin'.  if that
person however thinks that they're doing the right thing
by killing someone, to them they aren't commiting a sin.
basically i think that no one has the room to judge what
another person does.  i think that if someone kills someone,
ofcourse they must be punished, because that person
has crossed the line and has begun to involve other
unwilling people in his beliefs.  basically, what i'm trying
to say is that, it's not right for other people to push their
opinions and judgements onto other people, if they think
what they are doing is right morally, then no one has the
right to tell them to change, or to pass judgement on them.
i personally think that it's rather hypocritical of some 'christians'
to for instance, go to abortion clinics and kill 'sinners' or to
rally against gay people.  if they think it's wrong...ok, then
they think it's wrong.  i hear many people say 'well, i'm straight,
but i don't go telling the whole world about it, so why do gay people,
have to have parades, and tell the whole free country that they're
gay?'  well...my dears, you, by rallying against them, are you not
doing exactly what you don't want them to do?  you're telling
everyone that you don't believe gay people are 'living right', by
rallying against them, and forcing your ideas on everyone else,
which is also what they are doing by telling everyone that they can
think of.  the reason why you're rallying is because they come
out and tell everyone their sexual orientation which you don't
agree with.  well, you're doing the exact same thing that you find
them wrong for.  for telling everyone they're gay, you are mad.
so...you're going to go and do what they're doing (only with a different
purpose) to show that you're against them.  if you don't believe in
it, why not just, DON'T believe in it?  and if you're gay...why not just...
BE gay?  don't go tell everyone you ever met or are soon to meet that:
"i'm gay by the way, so deal with it" it would stop alot of confrontations
if you'd just be yourself.  no one really cares!  if you're gay...good for
you.  i'm not going to spend my nights wondering who is and who isn't
straight or gay.  i don't care.  that's their lives, not mine, they aren't involving
me...i think we should just worry about ourselves, and leave other peoples
morals and beliefs alone.  that is, unless they start dragging other people
into their lives.
p.s. just so you'll know, no...i'm NOT gay :)
