Reflections.

Yesterday marked the true beginning of my BA Philosophy degree. This naturally was a good thing for me. After all if you are here you will have most likely noticed I like to think of myself as a fairly philosophically minded fellow. So there I was and we were discussing Moral Argument this was something which I wasn't mightily interested in purely because I don't really enjoy the concept of Moral's (something which I have discussed previously and will no doubt return to.) Yet there was one particular concept which was raised by James Rachels (the author of the article we were discussing)

This point was that there is no Moral difference between Active and Passive Euthanasia. (If you don't know those terms please look them up now. ... Right you done? Good.) This was according to Rachels because the intent of these two acts is the same. Despite the method being wholly opposite. This concept is one which intrigues me. After all it raises the question could intent mean morally we are the same as those who perform an action? Just as long as we desire to act in that way.

Yet this wasn't what I was originally going to write about. It's just an interesting thought. Incidentally you should all try and read some work by real philosopher's it's mind blowing. I dream of being able to formulate my ideas in this fashion. However back to my own thoughts rather than that of others.

So I have been here almost a fortnight now. I am just about getting my mind back into the correct mindset for philosophy. Yet I also find myself thinking alot about what has brought me here and what I am aiming to do with this here life of mine. Well I would generally have to say that I am only here because of the hard work and patience of my loved ones. They have occasionally had to drag me through al ot of nonsense and well I am mostly through and just about alive.

As to what I want to do well that's harder to say. After all I barely know what is going on with me at the moment. But hopefully certain things will become more certain and official these are things which I would truly love to continue into a longer period of time. However there are also things which I wouldn't really mind if they changed. But either way I think I will try and change one thing. I will actually update this thing as I did in the past.

I hope everyone has had a good few months without a regular tasting of my particular brand of nonsense. But damnit things are a changing I will aim to bring you the most pointless of observations and the least inspired thoughts I can. However none the less I will remain optimistic that I can improve.

Au revoir for now my friends.
