play fair.

nice advice from kuya butch. maybe it all boils down to my being too immature to consider a relationship whether i like that someone or not. twice i hid behind dreams and responsibilities. i ran away from guys who showed interest in me. maybe i'll continue to repeat that mistake only to regret it when the one God prepared for me comes along. let's hope not. being rebuked once is enough.

Your feelings do not absolve you or your very real deeds. Your actions, not your feelings, speak the truth of your intent.

Duty. The polite name put to the chains of servitude.

Generosity is fine, if it's by your free choice, but a belief in the primacy of self-sacrifice as a moral requisite is nothing less than the sanctioning of slavery.

Moral equivalence says that you are no better than they; therefore, their belief is just as morally valid as your view.

Moral compromise rejects the concept of right and wrong. It says that everyone is equal, all desires are equally valid, so everyone should compromise to get along.

In trade between willing parties who share moral values and who deal fairly and honestly with one another, compromise over something like price is legitimate. In matters of morality or truth, there can be no compromise.

everyday comes with a reminder
i'll be leaving and will be away 'til december
a suitcase of lessons is what i'll pack
but memories will bring me back
