In general. I always feel like no matter what I do it is wrong. Where is the freedom?

Do you believe truly that you yourself has true free will? If so explain why you believe that.

If you could define for yourself what your meaning of life means to you what would it be?

I feel astonished by the large number of relativists nowadays especially when it comes to the answers that some persons give for ethical questions. In discussions about what actions are right or wrong in certain social situations, there are many people who claim that there is no such thing as ethical truth. Ethical relativists claim that answers to questions about what is ethical can only be subjective and are nothing more than personal opinion about what is good. Their denial of ethical truth is also a denial of the capacity of behaviour to be GOOD independent from the socially accepted values. I think that denying ethical truth is a way of trying to avoid responsibility for one's actions. What do you think about relativists?

There's three things that cause evil:

-Mental illness/disability (personal weakness)
-Trauma (the environment)
-Power (magnifies personal weakness)

A "bad" person hurts others because they're too weak to feel love and compassion and need a drug to replace it or because they're been victimized and are getting blind revenge toward people who aren't to blame (or are to blame).

How can a "good" person that gets revenge on a "bad" person be any better than them if they're just doing the same thing, only more clearly?

I mean I feel that I was born a heterosexual. I didn't "learn" to be a heterosexul (consciously speaking"

Carl Jung would say all people have equal chances of being either homosexual or heterosexual and that we simply repress certain gender roles blah blah.

Anyways, what do you think? Were you born homosexual or a heterosexual? Or did you "discover" you were either one of those?

What we know as knowledge is only what we perceive as true, so do we know anything? (Do you know this? Do you perceive it as true? Is is fact? Is the knowledge you know only true in your perspective or do others agree? What do you know as a fact?)
