Relativity is oft underappreciated. I think it is a natural tendency to ignore it. In one hundred years we will all be dust and a new wave of shit will have surpassed us. Is that just an understanding of mortality? I find the consideration of mortality to become somewhat of an unhealthy obsession for people, while the appreciation of just being finite holds some dignity to it. Basically, the only truth we will ever discover is what we are set to believe upon. That is why morals preside despite people believing fuck all in different directions. There are countless ways that this world could come to a halt on any given day, yet there have been no revisits to the Stone Age. I am somewhat appreciative that I don't get knifed when I walk out of my apartment everyday, but I will not let the idea of a diminishing water table or nuclear fallout control my life. I've always been able to recognize the phonies, those "causists" always looking for some cause they can support. I say support your own fucking cause. Why is that necessarily selfish?   If you really, really believe in something then you will support it, but people need not feel guilt for not jumping on board every charity bandwagon that rolls into town. Sometimes the joiners are actually participating in a good cause, but it might just be luck. The self proclaimed do-gooders are not free thinkers and could just as easily be swept up into working towards a malevolent cause.  And that's how politics operates.  Those most educated might not lift a fucking finger while the idiot schmoes lead the rebellions.  We can only hope that the majority of the drones are pointed in the right direction at least.  I don't think the world's greatest advertising campaign ever (Church) can stand up to the traits of human morals (thus, more and more athiests).  Yeah, MLK Jr might have ripped off his doctorate and some speeches, but I'm pretty sure that he really did believe in human rights and a good cause.  That can be pretty powerful when combined with the right words.
