Buddha
My personality wishes sometimes that living would be easier. Instead of having to deal with all the chaos, differences, fights, misunderstandings and misdeeds. Having a different life, or maybe even a different world: a neat world.
I'm not a Buddhist.
Maybe I should have followed the path of the zen master, the way of stillness, the calmness of heart. Maybe I oughta have treated better everybody I ever knew. Maybe I wouldn't be like this now. I'm running completely free here. No morals, no code, no honor, no remorse, no feelings or any other boundaries. At least, there isn't any I can see. I only bind myself to ethics.
I love the idea of Ethics.
You can't really compare morals and ethics, because they're completely opposite. Morals are imposed onto someone else, while ethics emerge from yourself. Morals are usually good to control and punish, whilst ethics usually make people get out of control.
Mostly, when everything is going according to plan, you could say that the moralists will be happy. Their hearts would be calm now, wouldn't they? Everything according to plan. Reaching a goal. Being a winner. Oh, how dull can a human being get?
I've followed my ethic so far, and I can't get a single moment of calm. My heads shakes like I'm dreaming all the time. I just barely know how my life will be for the next years. I have absolutely no idea about what how or where will I be two years from now. This makes for both an interesting life now, since I'm never alone, even when sleeping; and it also makes for very bad impressions at job interviews: "No, I have no picture of me in 5, 10 and 15 years."
Wonder if the interviewer's a Buddhist.
