We have the right to get smashed, because we like it (2)

This series of posts is a satire of Australians, dedicated to Australians.

We have the right to get smashed
Because we love to get smashed
Getting to the hospital
At 2am
Liver is dead
I'm the drinking queen (or king)
Celebrate my drunkeness with my friends
Dead liver makes me a queen (or king)
Anyone who doesn't get smashed
Is just a loser, loser, loser
That's right
A loser, loser, loser
Because they are missing out!
On getting smashed
How we love to get smashed!

The Concept of Rights and Happiness

It is a well accepted idea in these days that there is no such thing as an absolute right and wrong. In fact, anyone who dares to make such a statement is labelled as proud, arrogant, hypocritical, or negative. With regards to negativity, it is not a matter of whether a statement implies something and explicitly makes a negative comment. I dare ask the postmodernist, if you think there is no right or wrong, what is "negative" with respect to ethics and morality? We are so inculcated with the idea of no absolutes and that everything is not only open for interpretation, it is as one interprets. This is the core of postmodernism. 

Many argue that the concept of rights is not a matter of morality, it is about achieving human happiness. Human happiness is all we need, we have been taught, and it all seems to make sense. Whenever we lose happiness, all we think is how do we regain it. Many of us devote our lives to buying happiness, beauty, love, health, power and influence. Do these things really make us content with who we are? Do they? I urge anyone to challenge me for saying that we can chase after these things, only to lose them. 

The question that remains is whether helping people, or even emancipating the rights of the marginalised bring happiness.  Sometimes, we can have so much freedom and yet be unhappy. Having such freedom or even protection of human dignity may lead to happiness, but such a framework is not enough to justify why the law should care for the rights of others. 

Pleasure and Power (2)

One thing that can be noticed is that boys tend to use love to get physical pleasure. Girls, on the other hand use physical pleasure to get love. It might seem like a fair deal, right? No. It is dangerous, but it is amazing how many people do not care.

When people engage in physical pleasure, there is a strong bond formed. People give their soul to the other person. So engaging in such activity is a promise. This is no clique, but a fact. Many people have become deluded into thinking that sex is casual. Really, there is no such thing as "casual sex".

Thus, sex can be used by people as a form of social control. When it is done outside a fully (yes, 100%) committed relationship, it will leave emotional pain on people. When people are enticed into engaging in such activity with another, people are being trapped into giving one's soul to another. Don't believe me? 

Ask yourself how many happy stable marriage are there between people who have engaged in premarital and extramarital sex. 

It is important that people are careful of those who act in a lewd manner or those who dress promiscuously.

You should not feel that you have to trust these people or be friendly with them. Because you don't. 

Pleasure and Power (1)

Our society is one where "anything goes". The sexual revolution during the 1960's meant that love was free and that everyone is entitled to love from others. It was generally believed, and still is believed, that sex means love. These are the two greatest lies of our society

Love is not free. Love is from the heart, not from the face or body. One cannot say that one loves another unless he or she cares for that person.

Sex is not love. It is an expression of love, but an expression itself is not love. Therefore, sex cannot be used to get "love". It won't.

Love does not focus on the way people look like, or their achieves. It cares for people and appreciates people for who they are from the bottom of the heart.

It is that simple.
