It's amazing what the sense of touch can do to affect your mood. Just notice what happens when your hands touch some other person's the next time it should happen. Interesting sensation.
In other news, Fall 08 is over, and I'm looking at strait A's.
Today at Costco, my dad and I had a thought:
Does the mentality of living for reward and fearing punishment foster a lack of ethics? What I mean by that is, if we always look to be rewarded, and we always fear being reprimanded should we make an error in any way, do we lose sight of being good for the sake of being good to others? I'd like to hear what anyone has to say about this. It's a pretty interesting thing. Do we then think it's ok to do things that society deems unacceptable, but we ourselves do because we know there's no chance of being punished? If we know there's no punishment for an action, is it then seen as acceptable in our eyes to do it? Is it justified? What happens if that action is harming someone else? I'd love to hear what someone else thinks.
Other than that, it's warm, all the windows in the house are open, and I'm in shorts. Go to hell Northern states.
