Greetings

This is a blog for one sole purpose:  To reveal my inner thoughts that generally keep me awake at night.  I am open to discussion, in fact, I encourage it.  Ideas, thoughts, and beliefs are what keep our minds flowing, but to deny the right of opinion and the right of faith is to fall to ignorance.  I am looking for a community of unbiased people, to attempt to find an objective mind in an overall subjective world.
I think a lot on religion, philosophy, and psychology because these three broad topics tie in to the way many hold their beliefs, but I am not limiting to this list.  I may bring up things that are very, very controversial.  I will try to be as objective as possible, but my opinions will surely shine through.  Everyone has a certain bias to everything they experience and react to.  This blog is a point to surpass the id and find the ego and evolve into the superego.
I was angry all the time.  People held some ideals that I could not agree with and still do not, so my initial reactions were that of the id.  I was angry and I would lash out, even though I knew that there would be repercussions to my actions.  Slowly, I learned to internalize my anger, but it was still there.  The wrath is gone, and it is a burden off my shoulders.  These articles that I will post are some that used to incite some serious wrath, but now I am attempting to put myself in others' shoes, address the issues I have from their prospective, and justify the action through their point of view.  The greatest gift I have developed comes with seeing the whole picture; not just what I want to see to prove a point.
These posts are about ethics of the human nature.  Why are things the way the are today?  Why does racism, sexism, and discrimination exist?  Are we, as a whole, more morally corrupt than we were centuries, or even decades ago?
If you scroll by and you have some input, please feel free to comment.  I am looking for conversation, and the Internet I know is not the best place for it, but I ask that everyone be thoughtful and courteous to others.
Thank you!
