MOOD ANALYSIS TEST RESULTS
Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard? Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behavior.

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going but need to find a person who will recognize the way you are, not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, 'Simpatico'.

You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.

For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.
At this time you don't particularly like yourself. Everything that you have tried to do seems to have gone wrong. This makes you feel that there is no point in trying to start again. Apart from being stressed and tense, you are angry with yourself and have un-admitted self-contempt. Your refusal to admit that you and you alone is the basic cause of your problems leads to you adopting a headstrong and defiant attitude. If you take stock of yourself, smile a little and let go, everything will turn out OK. Have you not heard of the cliché 'smile and the world smiles with you - cry and you cry alone!'?

Once again, I had a conversation with my mum concerning euthanasia. Being a staunch pro-choicer, it is obvious where my argument went. My mum is not the philosophical kind at all, in fact she is extremely dogmatic and was a bit outta her league on this one. I here do not wish to discuss euthanasia as such, but will investigate her oft-invoked statement “you are not the Creator of life, therefore you cannot take it away.”

I will deconstruct the argument two ways, one which I shall call the “layman argument” and the other, the “logical argument”. I stress that the latter is far more convincing, but some of you may consider the former. There is no contradiction in conclusion, simply methodology, and the arguments, to the best of my knowledge, are not in conflict.

The layman argument
The statement in question focuses on a current law of Nature, one which may not hold for long, especially with the advent of cloning in the late 1990s. Whilst most governments have intervened to ban cloning of humans, if one were to successfully clone a human, that is not to say he would be morally justified in taking the clone’s life away. Therefore, morality is not synonymous with divinity or creation; the argument is entirely spurious.

The logical argument
JFQ enumerated (three) criterions to establish a rational system of morality.
“
1. we need to establish what the nature of a proposition about ethical norms is

2. we must establish that such propositions are in fact propositions (meaning they can be either true or false)

3. we need to embark on a rational investigation into the foundations of those propositions.
”

We must reject the idea that morality originates in divinity.

Assuming that it passes the first test (which it doesn’t, but a discussion of that would lead to an excursion into general principles beyond the scope of this post), it surely fails at the second.

The divine, whatever it is that gives rise to use even generating ideas of a divine, is an intensely personal and private experience. So private in fact that it is impossible to speak about divinity in such a way as to construct sensible propositions. There are no public criteria for the usage of such language which invalidates any and all language games. The proposition in question is not really a proposition at all, since it is so esoteric and intelligible to those outside that private, individual sphere.

Author’s note: you should probably read this first. its the original post, which delineates aspects of my psyche.

And yet another friendship built upon grandiose promises and false guarantees. This was more stupendous than usual; an edifice of fabrication and mendacity. An ad hoc construction predicated upon quintessential platonic love. It was so magnificent that all stood in awe of its sanctity, its bond which no storm could break, and no human hand smite.

Alas, it all collapsed in a single thud.

I took a walk down memory lane today. The usual salutary climate was gone; it was a crepuscular, sepulchral place, filled with shadows and dissembled musculature. The untainted laughter of children and excited palpitations of the body were replaced by a silence that was as lachrymose as it was deafening. I had never been to this place alone. The edifice and its unparalleled surroundings were subsumed into the dark, gloomy Execration. For the uninitiated, Execration is “a vengeful, sinuous body of water on the outskirts of my psyche. It is black and bottomless, and all the maps stop there. Maritime monstrosities abound, blood is as abundant as water, but it is so dark that one is blind. It is a cloud of mayhem and murder. All the abominations you can imagine, they're all there, inside the metaphor.”

I clawed my way out of the cursed liquid. Panting and struggling for life on my hands and knees, I landed on the Void. Straining my ears, I could still hear the obstreperous, recalcitrant waves refusing to give in to the deadening silence.
After wading out, i shook the inky black water out of my hair like a dog.

And we are all dogs.
