so i started this blog a) expecting to have things to write about and b) possibly having people read it. so far i have only a couple of each, but that's no reason to throw in the towel.
last night i was thinking about something i think is worthy of blogging. alot of people have something or someone that they claim they love or believe in so much they "would die for". i think a much better display of devotion is who they would kill for. dying doesn't affect your morality, and you don't have to live with the consequences. it's really a cop out of your devotion as its a simple act, and really doesn't require a great deal of emotional maturity.
but KILLING? that is a much greater display of devotion. one basically puts his morality aside for a person or ideal. one would have to live with the immense emotional burden of having killed for the rest of their life. one would be forced to emotionally mature or emotionally shut down depending on strength of character.
dying for someone/something is a statement of their importance over you, but killing states that they are more important than you and everything you believe and everything that formed your belief system.
just something that crossed my mind

Just thought you should know that am now mentally constructing a list of everyone in my life and whether or not I would kill someone for them. For fun, I imagine I have to kill them with nothing but my bare hands and a watercolor paintbrush. It's very strange.
