morning musume & green tea, GIVE ME AN ENERGY BOOST
To continue with a random conversation
that I had with Audrey a while ago. She mentioned the idea that what I said wasn’t common sense, but my own value system, and that there was no way that a government could fairly implement what I said.
What I said was approximately this:
Given a situation where one could choose whether or not to kill a murderer to save an entire country, what would you do?
I would definitely kill the murderer. My response to my own question.
Audrey then stated that this was definitely a question of ethics, which I acknowledge. And since she mentioned that she’s studying it and that, presumably, there are solid arguments against my judgment and assumption of the term “common sense”, I’ll make my statement here, mostly because it’s 4 in the morning.
Audrey was under the impression that this decision wasn’t “common sense” to everyone. Agreed.
But honestly, I really don’t know why it should be. Common sense wouldn’t be common sense if everyone in the world thought it was fundamentally correct. That’s called undeniable fact, and people still have trouble with that. A more applicable term to common sense would be a no-duh answer to a reasonable person (I’m not going to have fights over who is or who is not “reasonable”; this is why druggies and criminals think everything is good in the right book. Your arguments defend and give people like them a chance; be a lawyer, not a policeman.)
Not everyone uses common sense; in fact, most people don’t. We usually call these people stupid. But, I digress.
Another thing Audrey mentioned was that, if I killed this murderer, wouldn’t I feel guilty?
Yes. ..I don’t know why I wouldn’t. But, I mean, to each his own.
Next, she mentions that a society implementing my sense of justice wouldn’t work, because I would also be at fault, after killing the murderer. Again, agreed.
Wouldn’t it be a vicious cycle then (not something she explicitly stated, but I’m assuming this is how far she was going,) if I was guilty, killed, then the person who killed me, killed, then…etc.
My take on the situation wasn’t something that was feasible in a government situation. I don’t know where that came from; it may have stemmed from my idea of common sense and her different take on it. But nowhere did I state that this is something every institution should uphold; different organizations require different things. What works in Microsoft doesn’t work with Apple. Even tiny things like that need company evangelists with very specific ways of thinking.
My point is this: value systems are just the opinions that matter to you. I can be a “consequentialist” or a “Christian” or whatever word you want to pin me to. Morals matter, because they protect you more than you will ever know. I know parties love hearing liberal views, but when you’re faced at gunpoint and the police are debating on the gunner’s rights?
You better damn well hope they’re on your side.
I should play sometime.
Since I’m reaching the current chapter of Fairy Tail (HAHAHA this,) I have realized one reason why I don’t read manga quite so much anymore (if at all.) It always feels like I have to keep going with manga, that there’s always something next, next, next. At least with anime, you always know it’s going to “end” at thirty minutes (well, ~twenty three, but you get the idea.)
In any case, I doubt after this series I’ll read any more manga for a while. I’m always open to suggestions though; no Reborn, Bleach, or Naruto. But I guess that much was obvious..

On a separate note, I don’t think intimidating people are very fun to be with. They don’t even seem honest. The ones that act like they’re extroverted, but are really forced introverts that love the idea of brown-nosing a little to get what they want. There are actually some people like that at my school, but I don’t have the guts to really say anything to them. I remember the last time I gave someone a hard time (it was actually a “friend” of mine,) the old group started giving me a hard time for no reason, besides the fact that I was giving my honest opinion.
It’s funny, because they always boasted about how honest they were, and that they didn’t care that you thought their opinions were harsh, because that obviously makes them more right and you’re just butthurt. Guess that’s what you get for going to a school like this.
It’s alright though. I’ve met a lot of nice people, competitive people. Someday, everything will just look brighter than how I first perceived it today, yesterday, months before.

But really, any way I put it..either sometimes people aren’t worth it, or I’m not worth people’s time. Either way, I’ve hit too many dead ends. It can only get more painful, I suppose, because I’m nowhere near the end yet.
Maybe it would be better if I was.
Do what you love
And love what you do.
Embrace it, understand it, find your niche and take control of it. You never know; that last little bit of effort you didn’t want to put into your craft could easily be the last bit of effort you need to be better than yet another person.
Steady progression is such a beautiful and rare thing that you have no idea. Geniuses may be smart now, but just how smart will they be in ten years? Twenty? There is always someone to overtake them.
Be fond of what you can accomplish and what you are accomplishing now.
I make this post for all hard workers. We need more of you, everywhere. Truly hard workers are better than the smartest couch potato. Not enough people comprehend this. We need you.
NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER
Ok, Blue Pegasus is top tier.
I really wish Fairy Tail would have a longer anime, just so I could see some of these scenes animated. Dammit.
// EDIT: GERARD WHAT.

Better than Kimagure Princess? Oh, I guess that wasn’t hard.
Yeah, it’s settled. I’m probably going to be making an H!P blog after all (hence my test post from a while back.) Some lists because I can, although they’re in no particular order.
Best 5 Morning Musume A-Sides:
- Nanchatte Renai

I never thought I would put something current gen in here, but there it is. H!P people probably would stone me to death seeing that. It’s probably pretty surprising that I didn’t put in I Wish or The Peace in there. Ah well.
o hai fairy tail, I’m catch up with you
VEHICLES SHOULDN’T MAKE A MAN SICK,

I’ll leave it for everyone, and move on.

KURUMI WEARS HER SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT
On that note, gg Hokan for calling out Kurumi-turns-a-new-leaf episode. All we need now is the Sawako-actually-turns-into-gang-leader episode, or the Kazehaya-becomes-seriously-gay episode. Or the Pin-dates-jailbait episode, WHICHEVER IS FINE REALLY
IV-V BREAKTHROUGH
"No matter how hard someone's heart is, if you keep on talking to them little by little, it'll eventually start to crack!
I believe it! I believe that useless effort doesn't exist in this world!
I'll bet a man couldn't understand it. A girl in love...doesn't even think about giving up just because it's useless! The moment you give up is when your life ends.
I'll make it through, definitely!"
