So a couple of things that has been puzzling me these past few days. I figured that I should really remember to jot them down before I start to wander off and forget. Again.
One of which that bedazzled me is the wandering of the difference between "Good" and "Nice".
I've been thinking with my noggin and looked through my psychological dictionary and stumbled across something that I've never in my life thought about. The differences of "Good" and "Nice". Surely, we've been though culturally and ethically about vices and virtues. Good and Bad. But I'm pretty sure nobody have yet to think about the importance of "Good" and "Nice".
In my dictation:
Good is a description of a being/thing that is right and just. Whereas Nice is a feeling; a feeling or emotion of something of which makes us feel satisfied.
I have a feeling that a LOT of people mixes the definition of the two together. To many others, feeling good is feeling nice, and vice-versa. Personally, I think it is the way of which peers cram the teachings or Good/Evil, Naughty/Nice onto the person. It's easy to get mixed up, but it's important not to.
Because moral comes into play as well. But let's not open up more worms.
Another thought that popped into my head. It just happened out of thin air today while I was about to snore in my class.
It is the way of how matters complicate as people grow older.
The innocence of a child is so precious. And yet, the society of our world today is so corrupt that it steals the innocence away in an instant. It is truly such a pity that this is a reality. But sadly enough, it is.
That being said, I think that is because it is so much harder to trust, make companions, and true friends as you grow older. It's just too difficult to go in front of somebody blatantly and ask them "will you be my friend". Whereas when you were a child, a simple tea party mate could be your companion or best friend for the rest of your life.
It's a pity as well. Especially for the men of our era. Maybe chivalry is dead, but the men I've seen has be so dumbfound by looking at women as an object of pleasure, as a prey to be devoured. Where friendship is something that can only be shared between the men.
Maybe it is just New York City.
As time goes on.
Experiences = Paranoia.
Toodles
P.S. I should really start putting spotlights of artists, varying from music or art, that I appreciate and love.
And this week, the honor goes to:
Karen O
