as you bend your head to the grass... As opposed to your head, which is up a locale that rhymes with "grass." I have shown no prejudice against you because of your age. Message 20613247 You are cocksure right now but as you grow up you will appreciate how people are protected by ethical codes of conduct. And as you grow up spiritually, hopefully your view of ethics will change from this, ALL morals are self serving: they serve the values which the individual has internalised as best meeting his/her view of reality, and as best meeting his/her goals of safety, happiness, and a life well lived. which is moral relativism - a dead end that gets nowhere because it goes anywhere. an independent being--full of the glory of your life and owning the full responsibility of your feelings and your deeds. That's the same old tired hedonism. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Oh let there be light ! ( and definitely let there be angels too....) ;-) In Socrate's name ( and the muses/heaven) we pray
