Understanding Society

We are a random collection of individuals who have many characteristics and beliefs, many of our beliefs are likely wrong. We are occupied by our primary concerns, working, making money, providing for ourselves, and family, and a bit of entertainment, pleasure, and the like. We do not have a whole lot of concern for others, well most do not, but there are busy bodies, do gooders. Oh well. There are also a criminal element who want to take the property of others, and those who sell drugs, those who buy drugs, and those who use drugs.

Drugs. Morals come from society, logic, thoughts, as well as being handed down, and of course, the mystics. Life is the only thing of real value we have, so any existential thinker should think that anything that devalues or risks life should not be done lightly. But for some, life it's self is not that great. If life is not great, than risking life for a bit of chemical induce pleasure sensation is, well, not a big decision. But if you do not care about your life, why should I?

Pleasure vs pleasure sensation is a distinction that helps recovery from overeating. Once we separate the sensation from pleasure, well, shit happens or not for for some. That is an ambiguous statement, and as intended. Who knows what the effect is or is not to the individual. It can help if that was an issue, but have no effect it that was not a issue. Who knows?

So we have all these individuals, each acting partly freely, partly out of need, part out of desires, so it appears in bulk as random, yet each move is directed, in a loose way by the internal issues of each individual. No god, just beliefs, needs, desires, and some random interaction is inevitably. Oh well. There may be strong belief in gods by some, that is their problem, and if they do not care about the truth, why should I care? All I must do in the end is expire, but until then, I should not do anything to foolishly risk my life. Drugs, chemicals, stupid behaviors and the like should be avoided. That is morality with reason, no mystics involved.
