Well I hope you can, group homes stink. Parents tried to put me in one but couldn't.

I was told I'd be leaving either this month or next, but I don't have my hopes up.

I confess I'm not really a parakeet, I'm a cockatiel.

I confess that I've probably been too grim as of late, yet again, and my paranoia tells me I'm putting people off, yet again.

So, in payment, I confess that while laying in bed this morning just before getting up, I let loose with a burst of flatulence that was so loud and sudden, one of my cats (who happened to be curled up next to me sleeping) sprung from the bed and ran out of the room in a fit of fright. :oops:

I confess that I often wonder if free will is to fate as good is to evil, that they are the very same thing merely observed from different precepts.

I confess that I believe there is a difference between good and evil; while they go with each other, they are not the same. I confess that while I believe it's possible to manipulate the view of each of these concepts, the intent behind it - that is, the desire to do right or wrong - makes a great deal of difference.

I confess that as I read this, this old saying came immediately to mind:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions..."

I confess that in this context, "precept" and "intent" strike me as synonymous. I confess when I think about the amount of evil that has been committed in the name of good throughout human history, I get a cold shiver in my mind. Intent is too... easy a rationale; if there is a difference, it must be very much more than this, independent of this.

A thought exercise: I submit that the extermination of all human life might be viewed as a good thing, a thing that might be pursued with good intent. Think about it; all suffering* and pain* would end; everyone's problems would be solved; there'd be no hate, no war, no violence* no greed, no suffering*, no famine*, no pollution, no worrying; there'd be nobody being subjugated and brutalized and exploited and enslaved; there's be nobody desperately looking for love and companionship they cannot find... I could go on in this vein for a long, long time, but I'll take it that you get the idea. And in the end, the entire notion of evil [and good] would be entirely erased. It would be... beautiful.

Would this be an act of good? I've provided justification. An act of evil? I conveniently ignored the downsides of such an act. If both, which outweighs the other?

I confess that good is my lover, and evil is my mistress; good is my angel, and evil is my succubus; I know them both quite intimately.

Good fortune,

- Icarus the Grim

[*These are things that can be found in nature, but they differ by having no notion of good or evil attached to them.]

I confess that I don't believe in that saying. I confess that it seems to me to be an excuse for "evil" actions; I confess that I know of people who do wrong things simply to do them, simply to cause pain, simply to be evil. I confess that, in my opinion, they have no excuse, least of all good intentions. Not all evil actions are undertaken with good intentions.

I confess that one can do wrong (evil) whilst having good intentions; I confess that while I understand that, I believe that there's some good left in that person, because they meant to do good. I confess that the person who did it purely to harm others has no good in them (at least concerning that), and it was an evil action entirely.

I confess there are other differences, of course, but that one is (in my mind) important.

I think that something as large as human extermination is entirely too affecting to be all good or all evil.

I confess that I find no reason for you to feel bad; I was simply stating why I was not responding that night (despite being in other parts of the forum). I confess that you would have no way of knowing this, and there's no reason at all not to start a discussion.

I confess that I tend to forget wishing people Happy Birthday. So to make up for that short coming. Here's a birthday wish video.

I confess I have another Tae Kwon Do lesson today. :ninja: lol well... not a ninja yet but I'll try to get there. Still a white belt but I've only been about 4 times. I'm dedicated to it and the thought of 'rising through the ranks' is thrilling. And it don't stop at black belt either... there's something like 9 different degrees of black belt lol. But I'm not aiming to get to those unrealistic heights... what I'm aiming for in the long run is something like 3rd degree black belt... I'll have to be dedicated though... I am dedicated.

I know the feeling. I can sleep, but said sleep makes me even crazier.

I confess there are a whole lot of people who are lucky my username is not a reference to any affinity towards guns, but instead refers to my 3-point shooting prowess back in the days of HS and College basketball where I would drain 30-foot threes when leading 3-on-1 fast breaks. After what I have endured the past few days, between lies and backstabbing, my belief in non-violence and extreme opposition to the NRA and its continued misinterpretation of the 2nd Ammendment is all that keeps me from going postal.
