What can I see and hear?

What a broad header, huh?

There are the obvious things that come into my sight lines and into my hearing range, but out of all of those things...how many do I actually "see" and "hear"? Not just from the mere function of the sense itself, but with respect to all of whatever is sensed's grandeur and all of its potential. We all too often look at the world as it is, or as it seems to be, but we limit ourselves by not seeing through the layers and seeking out the possibilities and opportunities that ALL of our senses provide us.

I am, even in my thirties, fascinated by almost everything. It is this fascination that drives my passion to change. How can something so intricate and necessary be taken for granted so readily. Just who do we think we are...from the way we treat other people, treat ourselves, our environment and even our future...we emanate apathy and careless destruction in so many ways. We support things that we know aren't positive simply because it saves us a few cents or is a little more convenient. Such disregard of all for the sake of self is denial of our design and the requirement our species has to coexist. We won't acknowledge we need anything, i.e. "I don't care." "It doesn't affect me." "One time doesn't make a difference." I could go on for days without fail of coming up with at least 5 apathetic examples of our lack of desire to do more than we think we have to.

For all the lack of thinking we seem to do on a daily basis, we sure manage to invest a lot of time figuring out how not to think or not to do anything. What a waste of energy, because though kinetics may be the energy of motion...all things are constantly in motion. Even if you stop breathing and hold still, everything inside you is still moving, the earth is still moving, the target is ever moving as well...let us persue it with vehemence.

Now that is heavy, but I will get into ethics a lot so setting a general understanding is important as I introduce you to the things that will change the foundation and eventually the overall structure of your day to day lives. I could lead into the fact that to understand the above, you need to understand morality, values and principles, but these terms are subjective in and of themselves as is the term ethics. So easily interpreted to suit any side of any argument, this must be a point of definition and goes along with the further efforts I will make to speak to the "Greater Good".

Now, tell me what you think ethics are in any respect. Gimme your best shot!
