Am I crazy/dangerous?

[Bulldog_10]

Nothing does matter...too many people think too much about shit. We're put here for one reason, to live our lives however the fuck we want. All the rules and shit...live by them if you want, but I'm not gonna...I make my own rules, and if some of them happen to be the same as society's rules, so be it. If not, I don't give a fuck.

Who gives anyone else the right to tell me what I can and cannot do? I think alot of us have fallen into a rut, and think we must: make money, be nice to others, go to church, go to school, get a good job, etc...And they don't even think about why that is. Most people base everything they do in life on the ability to make money. Money is always gonna be there, money's everywhere...you just gotta know how to take it. So basing anything on money IMO is a waste of time...especially basing something as huge as your whole life on it...plain stupidity.

I'm here to do what I want, this is my life and I can do what I choose. No one else is going to tell me what to do about anything...they can try to persuade me to do whatever they like, but in the end...my life is mine.

Just do what pleases you...there's alot to be said for hedonism.

Who says what you should or should not do ?
Who defines morality ?

Some will say society, but which society ?
Other countries and even areas of a country have differing ideas of Morality.

Thats no answer bulldog. I mean why should I live a hedonistic life?

basically, why should I care if I'm happy

Exactly, that's why you gotta make your own choices, don't listen to anyone else. If you want to do something, and you feel it's the right thing to do...fucking do it.

Of course not society. thats destructive and stupid.
It's supposedly some kind of innate feeling or something we are taught as kids that we just can not question anymore after, because its so deeply embedded in our mind

What if you don't feel what is right or wrong?
Or if you feel it, but are not in the least rationally convinced?

What else are you going to do? You can do whatever you want...we have this huge ass world here as our playground...we can do whatever we want.

If doing things that makes you sad is what you like to do...do it. We have free reign over our lives...do with it whatever you want. If you want to sit there all day and ponder the meaning of life, do it...but life will pass you by while you're busy thinking about it.

Robert, If you want to understand more about this issue, have you read ?

Nietzsche Was Right
by Philip Yancey

Interesting concept of Amorality or not and why

excerpt:
The question is not why modern secularists oppose traditional morality; it is on what grounds they defend any morality.

A representative of Generation X named Sam told me he had been discovering the strategic advantages of truth. As an experiment, he decided to stop lying. "It helps people picture you and relate to you more reliably," he said. "Truth can be positively beneficial in many ways." I asked what would happen if he found himself in a situation where it would prove more beneficial for him to lie. He said he would have to judge the context, but he was trying to prefer not-lying.

For Sam, the decision to lie or tell the truth involved not morality but a social construct, to be adopted or rejected as a matter of expedience. In essence, the source of moral authority for Sam is himself, and that in a nutshell is the dilemma confronting moral philosophy in the postmodern world.

Something unprecedented in human history is brewing: a rejection of external moral sources altogether. Individuals and societies have always been im-moral to varying degrees. Individuals (never an entire society) have sometimes declared themselves amoral, professing agnosticism about ethical matters. Only recently, however, have serious thinkers entertained the notion of un-morality: that there is no such thing as morality. A trend prefigured by Nietzsche, prophesied by Dostoyevsky, and analyzed presciently by C. S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man is now coming to fruition. The very concept of morality is undergoing a profound change, led in part by the advance guard of a new science called "evolutionary psychology."

I read Nietzsche and my Dostoyevski Y lifter.

Bulldog - you are not arguing in any productive direction....
I could answer every one of your posts with
So?
And?
Why Should I care?

and there would never be an end to it. Thats the whole problem I'm overthinking

I'm not arguing at all...I'm just saying do whatever you want...and apparently you want to do nothing. So what do you want anyone to say? Go ahead...do nothing, feel nothing, just sit there and stare at a wall if that's what you want to do. I could not care less.
