I'm tired of hearing about principles and theories and postulations. Apparently they go nowhere and no matter how much you think about what should or should not be done, what is ir isn't right, where and how far one should go, a basic truth still stands -
That we are fallible and human, and governed above all by the changeability of the human heart.
I never understood this until now.
Principles are, after all, what we make of them, and fallible humans that we are, we create exceptions, we construct situations, we excuse ourselves when these theories fail. After all, the instinct is for satisfaction and happiness. Truth and ethics are realized only with great and constant effort. It's not easy, but understand that you betray your own ideals even as you tell me of them.
To be fair, at least the only one to lie to is
yourself
