There's just too much that time cannot erase.


Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and seen a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you, how many moments of other peoples lives have we been in. Were we a part of someones life when their dreams came true, or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in like we were destined to be there, or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone else life and not even know it.

Off Topic


Is there really such a thing as good and bad or right and wrong? Or are those just meanings that we assign to things in order to understand them better? It's all relative to the individual. Do good and bad or right and wrong exist, or is it just an idea? Or and illusion.

I believe that our morals and the way we were raised decide between whats good and whats bad. What if for somebody else it's the opposite? What if they were raised to do bad things? Would that make it right for them to do those things? And would the bad things that they were raised to do still be bad? In a way, yes. If they were praised by doing something someone else feels is bad, to them it would still be doing something good. And for them, would it be right for our society to punish them for what they did? Society plays a big role in the judgment of good and bad/right and wrong. Is it fair for our society to make that judgment? If the government put out a new law that said murder is legal, would we automatically praise the shooters from columbine? It used to be the right thing to do to kill, to make sacrifices to the Gods. When did it become the wrong thing to do?

Is good and bad/right and wrong just a subconscious feeling that decides what feels good and what feels bad? Or is it someones decision that made us feel like we're doing good and bad things. But without the rules, would doing something "bad" still be bad?

There are two attitudes. To one all is wrong, to the other all is right. Good and bad and right and wrong is just a dualistic way of thinking. You should see everything for what it is instead of what you think it should be.
