a long ass time ago..

I always hear about people who live the way the think; the way they believe.

But rarely do we consider the people who think the way they live.

Classic chicken/egg type situation - if your life style is chosen first your beliefs will fall in line.

My lifestyle was selected for me; how can I have my own beliefs in such an isolated system?

- I remember writing that a long time ago in a brief moment of clarity, or some second or two when I was able to do what I wanted to do (write). I don't know, it's an interesting thought I believe, one some people might not consider often, or ever. I'd actually completely forgotten this belief of mine, is it still?

and this one:

What matters is up to us, we decide what's important - to us - what's important?

We can each decide for ourselves or so they say but since when is what we want what's important? or at least, what I want may not be best

For me, for other people, for the world - For the world's people.

Why can't we act globally? "think globally act locally"

The ultimate goal is that, inverse.

the ultimate goal being "think locally, act globally". what person wouldn't act in a way that kept his neighbors safe, fed and happy? to be able to act in such a way that had that much effect would be crazy but hopefully turn out well.
