First thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must abolish the notion of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153right\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wrong\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from our vocabulary. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps better to think of the dichotomy of the terms: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening or weakening. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Good or bad is subjective.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coffee (caffeine) is a poison. It is designed as an insecticide from insects from eating it. But when we humans consume coffee and caffeine, it acts as a stimulant and gives us a good buzz. We humans are strong enough to not die from caffeine\u00e2\u20ac\u201d we are much stronger than our little bug friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Responsibility as a promise <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To be responsible to others means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You promise someone something, and you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t break the promise. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    But why do we want others to promise things to us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We want others to do our bidding. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    How do we get others to promise us to do things? Fear. Guilt. Money. Religious obligations, or obligations to the family. Social expectations or norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
