Which Came First: Shame, Crime, or Cold Weather?
Don't you find it odd that you can know someone your entire life--know everything about them, yet you've never actually seen what their body looks like without clothes? It can make you wonder, why did our ancestors first develop clothes? Was it out of insecurity, vanity, or the need for preservation against the elements? Maybe it was so that males would stop committing criminal acts, as so many believe nowadays. If this was the case, then why do men wear clothes? Personally, I think such thinking is completely absurd. If nudity was acceptable and common in society, I am confident that sexual crimes would decrease. This coming from the mind of a supposed potential "offender", a male. I believe if public nudity suddenly became acceptable, we would adjust to it surprisingly quick. It's in our genes to. But who are you to follow rules, especially ones that have no logical basis? The next time you're hanging out with your friends, toss your clothes into the corner and have a laugh at your own expense. I would be willing to bet that you would survive the ordeal.

You, and Only You
Pose this question to yourself--what if the entire world population was more like you? Would it be a better place? Would there be more, or less, compassion toward others? Would society be more, or less, violent and hostile? How would life be different? What assets do you bring to the world? What are your worst attributes? If you could change one thing about your personality, what would that be? What are you doing to change this?

Chasing the Dogma's Tail
Skepticism is a virtue. Anyone who subscribes blindly, without question, to the institutions of church and state rather than the issues for which the organization represents is as common as they are dangerous. The world is painted in shades of gray, not black and white. No issue has an easy answer, and if you think you've found one, then you're most likely wrong.

The Virtues of Selfishness
What I'm about to tell you is not some rhetorical, off-the-cuff drivel. This could, and should, change your life. If not, it's your fault. Study this mantra and make it your own: You do not work for a company, you work for yourself. Want to have that good income without sacrificing your soul? Then understand what your job really means to you. Did you think, "You know, that company with the ad in the classifieds, I sure would like to dedicate my time to making them money." I really doubt it. Work is a verb, look it up. It is an action that does not require emotion. Even a desk job, remember, you will actually make better decisions when not emotionally invested.
Here are two signs for you to know you are being
led astray:
1) You think about work while not on the clock.
2) You regularly skip meals so that you can give more time to your job.
No company in the United States can legally ask you to skip lunch. They won't fire you if you take a lunch break. Trust me. They can't. It's your choice to be a supplicant. The more you allow yourself to be used at work, the more they will use you. Likewise, the more of a spine you have, the more they will respect you. Never forget why you are there, which is to make money for yourself. Even your boss is there for the same reason. You do not work for a company, you work for yourself.
