Love I
----------------------------------
Love II
Everyone wishes someone some happiness,
despite the heart's masks of spite and indifference.
And so love lies within us eternally like buried treasure.

----------------------------------
Love II
Does love require more than one?
Love is less often than so mutual.
Do I care for your life and happiness?
Or do I merely wish to hear the words I Love You?
Love is like a babies bottle:
Take it away and I kick and scream.
Give it back and I'll survive.
I hang on to a thread of hope.
I lose my grip and clambour for another.
Yet you do not wish to see me drop.
You enjoy the tug of your hair.
Love is this. Love is that.
'It is tribal', as if love was never there before.
'It is genetic', as if love can be reduced to its parts.
It is the happiness God only dispenses to his saints.
Satisfied? Satisfaction is the emotion of understanding.
---------------------
Honesty
---------------------
Strength
Where does it come from?
'Belief in your self, Smerdjakov'
What If I am pathetic?
'Then believe in a delusion'

Honesty
Honesty: A disusting habit practiced by those whose souls are stupefyingly pure.
Want me to be honest?
Are you a sadist?
You wish for transparancy,
As if the world will be revealed to you.
But you will never understand the tricks of your heart, at least be honest of that.

1: The values of egalitarianism cannot be established on any idea of factual equality. For example it is true that there are things that men can do better than women. It is also true that the bell curve of IQ shows that whites and orientals are more intelligent than other races. If we based our morals on those sorts of facts we are still wrong in oppressing those people.
2: The values of egalitarianism should be based on a common denominator. This common denominator is the capacity to suffer. This is why oppression is wrong; because it causes suffering.
3: Humans are not the only types of being that suffers. The higher animals are also intelligent creatures with the capacity to feel pain. They also have the capacity for intelligent interaction with its surroundings and other animals.
4: To believe that our fickle interests (gastronomy) should come above the interests of intelligent animals is a prejudice against those who are not of the same species as us. It is also morally wrong to treat animals inhumanely.
5: We should try and eliminate our prejudice. We can take a stand against prejudice by refusing to eat meat and use products tested on by animals. In today's world this is not an extreme and is highly practical.
