Back in the medieval days, it was a very clear cut of what is wrong and whats not. You could either be doing something right or commiting blasphemy, theres a very strong sense of what is right and wrong. And it doesn't even need rational reasons.
I guess I should be glad that we have evolved to be more liberal, that we have made it right and completely appropriate to coem up with our own rationalities and do what we feelis right.
But really, sometimes the reasons we give are flawed. Soemtimes we disagree. And someitmes we have our own say merely to gain an identity.
Now, we have lawyers, spokespersons, PR representatives, a hundred different careers whose sole objective is to come up with feasible rationales. They're all right.
SO when someone says " thats Not ccol man.." Is he right? Think about ti this way. Our society is crafted entirely on the rationales of people. Whats cool? Whats not?
Is it wrong that I wear this? Is it wrong if I don't Do that? Our trends, our lifestyles, yes, they're constructed out of people who are outspoken. But are they right? I mean, after all, its THEIR reasons, not ours. And yet we blindly follow them, and act as if they were our own.
What makes us dress in suits? What makes us go clubbing? What makes us smoke? What makes us do everything?
Why can't I say no to some things that you deem cool? CAn't I have my own say? Must i follow you, a consumer whore?
And even then, what is it that influenced me to make those deicisions?
When you think about it open minded, there a lot of things that we do thats seemingly nonsensical, yet we still do it.
Why do we wear rings on weddings? Why not necklaces? Why do we prefer clothes that barely cover anything on women? Whats the diiference between your pair or Levis Jeans to my pair of Chow kit jeans? Why do people gyrate in crowded sweaty stuffy places to loud music? WHy do we think obnoxious people are cool? Why are we kicking balls? Why is sex and virginity so taboo? What is the significance of the family name and why is it held in such high regards? Why is heavy metal bad and Techno (which is just as trashy and loud) good? Why are we consuming liquor (which kills us)? Are we actually omnivores? Or merely influenced by a canibalistic stone aged psycho that slaughtering for food is okay?
Probably the only way to be free from opinion is to prolly live in the hills or sumthing. And meditate.

But tell me.. am I wrong?
