Total Thoughts (November 1, 2009) - Social Conscience and Euthanasia

Total Thoughts:
 
Social Conscience and Euthanasia (On Wings and Wheels pages 41 - 44)
 
  • Things that are taught to us become our belief - our actions and decisions may be influenced by learned behaviour and we should gain a better understanding of how this learned behaviour affects us to better direct our actions and decisions
  • Selfishness can be controlled - it is in our nature to be selfish, however with increased knowledge and awareness we can exercise more control
  • We should not treat people differently based on their title/association - it is beneficial to make our relationships more straight-forward and simple, therefore relationships will be less complex and we can achieve more peace
  • Performing actions and having expectations is not sustainable - if we have expectations then there will be room for disappointment, therefore making the journey to contentment more difficult
  • You can be closer to God through self-development - this is something that we should continue to practice and strive for
  • Should avoid the term '"God" - there are many interpretations and the translation can sometimes be confused in certain situations
  • The book "Island" by Aldous Huxley is a good read - examines many of our discussion/life topics
