Dating Culture and Dating Early

 

I believe because of todays society, if one's going to get a life partner, it's perhaps best to find a person before the age of 30. Although I believe the age people should begin dating is strictly in their mid 20s, not to mention remain a virgin until marriage, the way society and mentality is in the US and maybe other parts of the world, it's best to start looking for a partner at the age of 16 - 25. To begin, American culture starts dating really young. Often the dating mindset starts in middle school.  Because of how American society is, is should probably start in high school or at the least college. The reason I believe this, is because later in life when a person is around 25 and going to their 30s, it seems to be almost impossible to obtain a decent partner more-or-less finding a person stable enough to get married with. It seems the girls available at this age, in all respect and most sincere apologies in advance, carry potential baggage, have deep insecurities, could have some sort of perceived problem, might be only interested in the excitement of dating, or have a nonstop desire for lust. I understand why families disagree and dislike the idea of their child dating moreless losing their virginity; however, I believe there can also reach a time in which dating can be too late or become most challenging. It's kind of like digging through a bowl of candy, if you don't get the candy you want quick, you are only left with the less popular ones or the one’s people put back. Also the longer you wait, the less atractive the candy can become. I find this explanation extremely harsh but portrays my message effectively. Nevertheless, I could be perhaps completely wrong. However, it’s how I see things.

 

Furthermore, I would like to address how I thought things were in regards to dating culture when I was at a younger age. I use to think girls made a bunch of guy friends and picked the one they wanted to seek lifetime companionship with. I thought they use to be disgusted and ignore the guy that purely wanted lustful intentions. Over time, I found this to be wrong. I found many females dated after a single person asks them out. There was no second guessing either. I also found more-than-often dating culture also involves intimacy if the female and male felt a strong sexual feeling towards each other or even enjoyed the time spent with each other on the date. I disagree heavily with this style of dating. I beleive intimacy is a boundary that should never be exploited, especially if the male is a real gentleman. However, there is nothing I can do about this because it’s part of culture. Furthermore, if dating is not done this way then it can be seen as a problem for either partner. The date could be perceived as the other person doesn’t feel the same way about their partner or uninterested in furthering their relationship. I find this to be sad and most unfortunate. Perhaps dating is done this way because of the female insecurities, disparity, desire for lustful intentions, or strong desire or feeling for another person. If I could, I would like to change dating culture for something more decent, elegant, innocent, and that allows people to keep their virginity until marriage.

If I may become sexually personal, I believe if a couple were to become sexually intimate, they should limit their sexual behavior to touching and oral sexual activities. They should never use their sexual organs to perform genital insertion and perform procreational activity. I believe this is strictly for marriage.

Another reason I believe females should be friends with many other guys and exclude sexual activity is because a female will understand and really know how a guy is like when they are not looking to date. This reveals the potential partner's true personality and qualities. Imagine a geek who has no experience dating who could end up being the greatest husband/ life partner a person has ever had. If a female always goes towards a person who sweeps her off her feet the first moment they meet, how do they know that person will continue to sweep her off her feet years from then. I believe making friends first and choosing a partner is much more effective to find a life partner than todays way of dating. In addition, this form of finding a partner goes both ways for each gender. A guy can choose which female he likes to be his life partner and a female can choose who she likes to be her life partner. Becoming friends allows each to get to really know and understand each other. It also makes the episode of their love confession many times more unexpected, strong, special, romantic, and memorable. 

 

In conclusion, these are my thoughts on dating culture and why I think it’s necessary to get a life partner early in life.

 

 

My Idea to Improve Paying Taxes

I had an idea for a possibly improved tax system. Although I’m not loyal to any political party, I do find tax reform a great idea. Taxes as they are, are way too complicated. Simply trying to understand taxes from a personal perspective and a small business perspective seems impossible when alone and trying to figure everything out for oneself. Therefore, I have come up with my own idea on what I think is an improved tax system. Foremost, I believe individuals should pay a flat tax of 15%, they can also invest more in their taxes if they so choose too and I will explain why. I believe paying taxes should be a fun or an exciting opportunity. Much like crowdfunding, I believe individual tax payers should have a large selection of projects they can choose to fund from the government, such as: necessary government projects, secret projects (perhaps using a non-disclosure agreement), military projects, grants, infrastructure, and other projects that our government are currently funding using tax payer money. The tax payers funding certain projects, perhaps can also receive rewards or recognition after a project has been successfully funded. This can perhaps be used as an incentive for tax payers to invest even more money paying for projects that interest them creating a sense of improving the quality of the country as a whole. In addition, perhaps paying taxes and choosing projects to fund can help unite people and give them a sense of growth in a country they love or can come to love.

Using language to say anything with consideration.



While listening to many people talk, confront, or find solutions, I have developed my own set of what I consider harmonious initiations and statements. These are ways of communicating that doesn’t involve being direct, confrontational, potentially rude, or inconsiderate. To start, I believe there are ways to state anything on one’s mind; whether addressing a potentially radical idea, a conflicting statement, revealing a harsh truth, or a statement of extreme sensitivity. These are some of the phrases and initiations I use to harmonize situations or state any idea to another with consideration to their emotions.

I believe being not too sure of oneself or too direct can create conflict, therefore I utilize words that can be more exceptionally calming to potentially conflicting arguments. The words “Perhaps…”, “Maybe…”, “I believe…”, “I suggest…”, “It’s possible…”, “I would like to say…”, “I hope I can say…”, “It is a possibility that…, “It’s my personal opinion that…”, can be used to introduce an idea, topic, or statement that can show that is one of uncertain while also helping a person to be honest and open to potentially learn by the correction of others. Using these initiations can also demonstrates how one has no desire to be ignorant but instead shows respect and an intention to keep a harmonious atmosphere while being considerate to the ideas and emotions of others.

Other phrases that can help show respect or sympathy to another, can be phrases like: “I’m sorry to hear that.”, “That is most unfortunate.”, “I am flattered.” Showing sympathy and respect, it is likely that one will naturally be open to tell you more because of a demonstration of understanding and considering their emotions.

If discussing ideas, one can state their idea without insulting the ideas of another. For example: “I agree that…”, “I agree with you on…But I believe….”, “Your ideas are very interesting, but on the other hand my ideas are….”, “That is a good idea, my ideas are…” This allows one to show respect to another while also considering their emotions. I believe it’s important to work together without insulting the intellects of others.

In a discussion when one wants to announce a statement that could be potentially damaging or controversial, one can introduce a statement or idea in a way where it is seen as harmless or considerate to the emotions of another, for example: “If I may say… I would like to say…”, “If I can talk out of context for a moment, I would like to say…”, or even, “If I could talk out of my butt for a second, I would like to say…”This allows for one to be honest or to state any radical idea, yet also have consideration for the emotions of others.

 

Is Ethics and Etiquette the key to prosperity?

I believe one of the reasons why China could be a new economic world power in today's economy is because of their ethics and etiquettes (even though I don't agree with Chinese politics). In their country's politics, they have a form of respect and communication which allows them to talk about anything at which doesn't affects them personally. Japan has this as well which obviously allows them to speak freely of new ideas and solutions. This enables everyone to coexist harmoniously and collaborate in reforming what needs to be reformed and changing what needs to be changed (and not for the sake of benefiting others but the country as a whole).  In addition, I believe it’s important to introduce new ideas without ridicule and have the ability to state the facts and say what’s truthful without any backlash or slander from another. Part of what I want to accomplish in the United States is to create its own set of ethics and etiquettes in which society, government, and even the average individual can coexist in a harmonious way without judgment, prejudices, ridicule, inflicting harm towards others, or negative reaction to truths. I believe this will be the greatest tool which will lead the country to prosperity, innovation, and virtue. I believe if the country doesn’t look into this now or soon (along with the ability to reform or fix itself), it may indeed lose its position as a world power to China or another country.

Personal Quotes III

• Part of life is suffering. Learning how to manage or make the best out of one's suffering is part of life's great challenge.

• An example for oneself is an example for all.

• I have a dislike for labels as they could send improper messages regarding the true nature of an individual. However, it's my belief that labels could possibly be subconscious or a form of human conditioning as people do not want to be harmed or judged by others. Perhaps such existents of labels will never go away unless the idea of potential threat or judgment goes away.

• I wonder if it's possible for a stranger without ideology to embrace a person he knows nothing about and desire to know more about them because of personal curiosities or etiquettes. In such a society, perhaps the lives of other unfamiliar faces would have great significance and value.

• Would it be ever possible to take down cultural barriers and to see things from an objective human perspective? Could such a society exist where if one does the absurd another can politely and respectively correct them or if one gets hurt, many will rush in their aid. It would be heartwarming to see a society cater to human needs, while having the ability to set aside cultural values and mindsets.   

• Have caution, with emotions one can obtain or maintain control. Seek logic and reason.

• I believe there may not always be a doable solution to every problem; however, one may have the ability to obtain help or necessary resources to find an answer.

• If one is being bullied, the purpose of the bully could be one of the following reasons: They have personal insecurities (such as family or environment; from the past or from past experiences). Their rank, status, image, or need for control/ power is threatened. They are in desire for attention. They feel they need to prove something of themselves. They have a possible mental problem.

• It's my opinion that gender equality shouldn't be a legitimate debatable subject. I believe it's a subject that shouldn't be brought up at all. The reason I believe this is, is because everyone is human and should be seen that way whether male or female. They shouldn't been judged based on gender, ideology, or physical appearance, because then we are subscribed to perceived and subjected labels. I would like to have the idea that males and females could get along great with each other, despite of their physical or hormonal differences. 

• Ignorance can lead to the cradle in which evil is held.

•  Pointing out another's faults is most unwise. First solve one's faults.

• Accept another's faults, because it's up to them to fix themselves.

• When one talks about the faults of others there is the possibility they could be talking about faults within themselves.

• If one is considerably lazy and doesn't do a choir, give them a suggestion or a question to which will give them an insight to do the choir. For example, instead of telling them directly to which could be perceived as nagging them, suggest that it would be a good idea to do a choir or tell them how much this choir would be helpful if it was done. Another tactic would be to do the choir for them so that you could perhaps motivate them by getting them to feel guilty, perhaps doing the choir with them and if they don't do it, you do it for them. This will make them feel even more guilty, be sure not to get angry, simply ignore the issue and go about your day. The thought will linger in their mind and motivate themselves. If that doesn't work, get them to understand what would they do if what if one day they were to have a house of their own or what if they were to have children of their own. They would surely need to set an example for their children. The last resort would be to classically condition them by giving them reward when they do it and a punishment when they don't do it. Overall, I believe there are many ways to overcome situations with psychological tactics. If one understands the psychology of a person, one can use psychological tactics to find a solution to their problems.

• It's my opinion that what is between friends should stay between friends, the reason being is because by telling others, the person being told could misinterpret, bend, or feel the need to do something about another's problems which could lead to even more problems.

• "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This saying is true. Without moral discipline or perhaps moral input by others, it seems individuals with power are bound to use and abused their power eventually. I believe it is proper for one with power to set an example of using their power properly or for the greater good. This will demonstrate the utmost respect and nobility as others see one using their power as a true leader and a person to be charished as they could be seen as a long lasting iconic, symbol, and example for good.

• (trying to explain a difficult logic with an example) There is the cool kid and the smart kid. It's reasonable to believe everyone likes the cool kid and perhaps neglects the smart kid. I want to live in a world in which both the cool kid and the smart kid get along with each other willing to respect each other and if possible learn novelties from each other whenever necessary. They don't necessarily need to like each other, just have the personal value to obtain and preserve social harmony. I want the mentality where the idea of being enemies should not be the primary intention possibly due to personal perceptions of each other. Instead, I would like to live in a world where they should keep what flaws, dislikes, or discontents to themselves.

• It's very useful to think about outcomes before or during any given event or situation. I find thinking about the best, worst, and even every possible outcome to be a good idea to help me be mentally prepared for anything unexpected.

• I believe it's with respect to oneself and others to hold oneself from overreacting. This separates those whom are mature and rational from those whom are immature and irrational.

• I believe every person should have a necessary pride. This pride should be what one needs to respectfully defend when another over steps their moral boundaries. For example, if a person were to bully you, you should speak to him rationally, and if he does not stop, it is perhaps necessary to maybe form strategy and fight back because you're defending something; in addition, I believe it is right to stand up for what is right. It's with good intention to make others understand why this action is in your opinion necessary.

• Possibly Controversial: Males easily obtain or are overtaken by sexual desires and erotic fantasies, therefore they do what I define as experimenting. This is the seeking for stimulation to fulfil a sexual fantasy or desire. I also find females also seem to have this characteristic as well, however not to the same extent as males. In most cases this arouses problems with the opposite sex and a negative perception to one's image when discovered. I believe the worst case scenario is when it becomes a rumor or when many close individuals find out of this characteristic. In my opinion, it's with moral disciple to overcome this characteristic. If one simply cannot deal with this characteristic, then they should find other ways to overcome it. Maybe by playing sports, doing hobbies, keeping oneself occupied, or simply writing about one's fantasies or desires in a secure medium where no one will find it. Although this can be considered a controversial idea, perhaps one day the human mentality could change to where a person could be completely honest with another person they fantasize about; and instead of being looked at as a creep or pervert, the other person would see past this human characteristic and respect the feeling or fantasies the other person has for them by being understanding, supportive, honest, respectful, polite, and doing what they feel is moral. An example of this can be if a person says something relating their erotic fantasies for oneself, one can say they appreciate their honesty but aren't interested in this kind of relationship. I would use the saying "whatever floats your boat" or whatever makes you happy".  I personally wouldn't care if another has fantasies about me. For some, perhaps it's best to keep their sexual fantasies to themselves. Furthermore, everyone eventually has a moment when hormones seem to get the best of them, I believe it's important to ease the controversial idea, find a functional solution, and rebuild a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

• If one is completely honest, even in the worst of situations, I believe they should be congratulated if not admired for their honesty.

• Painful romantic situation: If one tells you their feelings or says something that is perceives to have a deeper meaning but you don't feel the same about them, it's best to be honest and to admire their courage for expressing their feelings. If I may give an example: imagine if a person you don't like says they love you. I believe it's a good idea to tell them you are flattered and that you admire their courage for telling you how they feel; however, tell them about good qualities they possess before telling them how you honestly feel about them. If this puts them in pain or agony, note that this pain is temporary compared to the pain to which could be given if you give an answer which could be interpreted wrongly as if the other person has a chance to win your love or if they get the idea that you have similar feelings for them. It's best to be clear with your answer. Since they will more than likely be overcome by emotions it's best to apologize and to part ways immediately to conclude the severity of your answer. When confronting the other person regarding their feelings, I find the best way to deal with the situation is to be completely honest, apologetic, very sincere, and polite. I have found most females don't ever forget situation of this magnitude due to the level of emotional discomfort, personal openness, or display of insecurities. Nevertheless, I am curious if one can find a way to kindly reject another without the outcome of emotional discomfort.

• If one is willing to announce their feelings to another, one should be certain they are opening themselves for possible rejection.

• It's my opinion that if one announces they have feelings for another it should be certain they have already been friends for some time to get to know them. If a person randomly tells about their feelings to another person they know very little of, it should be with the proposition to get to know them more by becoming friends. Jumping into a relationship is like piloting an airplane that has already taken off in which the pilot doesn't know how to fly.

• (Personal note) Combat situation: When a person approaches you with a knife at close range and you have an object in your hand, I find it is best to aim for the wrist and not at any other places on the body. If possible, disarm the person by grabbing the wrist (I found this to be a very useful novelty out of my three years of martial arts experience).

• (Personal) Sword combat: My favorite combat accessory is the dual katana using my own as well as the great Musashi's sword style. There are three distinct stances and one attack defense cycle stance. One is the main Musashi stance where you have one katana pointed at your opponent's face and the other behind you raised slightly past your ear. This stance disables your opponent from judging the length of you blade, allowing you to get an easy advantage. The second stance is when you have both swords directly in front of you at eye level, one arm slightly pulled back and the other to make your enemy somewhat unbalanced with their own attacks. The purpose of this stance is to prevent him from moving forward even slightly and to quickly dice his shoulder when he's moving around. This move will also prevent attacks from bellow and can be used to disable limbs when the opponent attacks. The last attack lowers your guard is used for using both swords at the same time from a low to high attack motion. This is the least common used stance for it lowers one's guard rendering oneself almost completely defenseless. It's mostly good for getting a cutting direction to a specific lower area of the opponent's body. Nevertheless, it's looks good for unguarded intimidation purposes. Overall, all these attacks can be used to get into a main cycle attack defense stance/position where one can attack with one sword yet defend with another at the same time, regardless if they have a shield or not. This stance is part of a dynamically changing motion responding easily and coherently by the enemies movements as one arm is lowered and the other is in front of you and changing sides instantly by lowering one side and raising the other side. One sword will always be in an attack position while the other is defending. The primary lunge in this stance is always to aim for the head while having one sword to attack low or to defend low. It's also design so that one can attack with one arm and then attack with another arm in a oposite position leading to a complex sequence of attacks. All attacks need practice in a reassuring motion and pattern of attacks and blocks so that one can perfect a motion to so that they don't accidently cut their own limbs off. If one masters the dual katana as well as mastering the mix of my and Musashi's stances, they will be unbeatable in any weapon combat scenario against any type of weapon. I have already tested this many times and proved it to be extremely effective, especially in geeky LARPing scenarios. However, one should also get good training with a single sword in case one loses a sword and has no other choice but defend himself with only one sword.

• Six steps to rational decision making: 1. Identify the problem. 2. Identify decision criteria. 3. Weigh the criteria. 4. Generate alternative courses of action. 5. Evaluate each alternative. 6. Compute the optimal decision (determine optimal value of each alternative).

• How to make a plan that works: 1. Set goals 2. Develop commitment 3. develop effective action plans. 4. track progress toward goal achievement 5. Maintain flexibility

•   If ever rejected, part of loving another is respecting the decision of the other person over how they feel, finding within oneself to let them go, and always be there for them by continue to be friends.

• I believe heaven should be on earth, in the afterlife, and in one's mind.

• Could it be a good idea to seek, solve, and rationalize plausible conspiracies?

•  The blind follow; the wise question.

• I believe making money should be more simple, practical, and more efficient than stealing or obtaining money as a result from crimes.

• After all the few problems I have had with others in the past, I have now found that it's best to keep one's problems regarding friendships and relationships to oneself. Time has told me it is very much a good idea to let other stay out of one's affairs regarding any sensitive subjects regarding others. 

• I believe the next greatest discovery is through the complex understanding of matter, element, or substances at the quantum level. If mankind kind find a way to study this, I believe there will be a new renaissance of extraordinary technological advances.

•   (crimes) Perhaps it’s a good idea to seek the unjust or criminal by having something of value that can be used as bait. Perhaps over time this will influence the masses to not seek crime as an alternative when one can find a more fulfilling and harmonious life style.
  
• It’s my opinion that humanity should strive to be more than human and to discover and explore that which lies outside the realm of possibility.
  
• I dream there is an existence past the oceans of universes. I dream there is an existence past dimensional travel. I dream there is a far greater realm in which our imagination can far uncomprehend.

• It’s my dream that one day all of humanity will become more than human as they learn to live, understand, and comprehend each other for a greater purpose.

• Through intelligent design, regarding the infinite beauties of the universe, I am left in aww over the possibility that there could indeed be a God, a grand designer of all things.
•  When at my worst, I use the expression "press on".

• I philosophically question the bodily insecurities of the opposite gender. If culture was different, would such insecurities exist?  Can this be evidence to prove that culture can influence very sensitive behavior?

• Negative thought: Could it be that man never changes but their behavior and ideologies does?

• Negative thought: Money, materialism, and pleasure, could these be the tools necessary to one day have control over an irrational mass?

• (Irrelevant) Could an institution or cage that is used to remove a person's freedom be used to keep a person happy if it includes everything a person desired? Would they eventually get tired, want to leave, or fight for the right to be free?

• I dare ask how do we know society isn't part of a greater institution, where one's freedoms, liberties, and survival are controlled or monitored?  

• Negative thought: it's my highly controversial and unfortunate belief that I find most if not all females to be irrational. I believe their level of irrationality varies. It also appears to me the more older females are, the more irrational they can become. Nevertheless, I question if there is such thing as a logical and completely ration female. Perhaps it's out of my own ignorance to question if there ever was a female philosopher or female of great wisdom. I'm sure the negative outlook of such an idea will undoubtedly portray me as something I am not. Therefore I insist on apologizing. Nonetheless, perhaps the need to address my innermost thoughts persuades me to be completely honest.

• (Controversial) In the case that there are multiple extraterrestrial species on Earth, they should come fourth and the people of Earth should coexist with them peacefully.

• Why money, materialism, and pleasure instead of virtue, family, innovation, inspiration (teaching), creation, or social/political resolutions.

• Killing is always unnecessary. To kill someone is to end a person's life and the lives of those from them. When one loses a life, the future forever changes. I understand there is evil which needs to be stopped; therefore, in extreme circumstances perhaps it could be necessary to prevent the devastation of a mass population or from further evil. I would hope, through ethics, one can prevent themselves from becoming or performing such evils.
  Therefore, I conclude killing is never permitable, inexcusable, and should be forbidden. However, with an evil beyond extreme and imagination, it should perhaps be a sad sacrifice for the greater good.  I believe a world can exist where the thought of killing is unimaginable. 

• I believe the future will house a global community yet have it's distinct elements. For example, I believe the world has the ability but won't become a single population with a single cultural. I believe the world will keep it's own cultures yet accept bits of popular culture from other parts of the world.

• After watching Mad max (2015), I wonder what an extreme and almost anarchistic cultural norm/ mindset would be like to live in. It seems to offer it's own unique freedoms in which is not similar in the traditional cultural norm sense. Could it be possible to have a culture of civility and laws yet have such freedoms without resulting to full anarchy? It would be interesting to have individuals of different mindsets, lifestyles, and personalized cultures (without resulting in becoming lawless, immoral, or barbaric). This would make everyone unique. The true essence of becoming who you want to be and doing what you want to do.

• As one ages, one gains further understandings of the unnecessaries in life.

• If I could have a vision for what society would look like in the future, I would like to state it as a place with potentially very complex, high personalized, current/ traditional world cultural differences. A place where everyone, no matter how different, gets along together with a set of perhaps globally known etiquettes, in favor of social harmony, that unites the world as a family more than a community of nations.

• I think society should perhaps be a blend of both individualism and community. Individual when by oneself and community with others.

• I often find two thoughts that help me tremendously: The thought about my life is not my own and the thought of offering my problems to God. The idea of thinking about my life is not my own keeps me feeling I can achieve anything as if it is a form of duty. I can be ridiculed or given a terrible reputation, but in the end I follow through by carrying out my own goals. The thought about offering my problems to God, even though I am a skeptic about God, gives me the ability to confine my negative emotions, center myself, and regather my thoughts. It gives me the ability to overlook my flaws and to continue moving forward. I believe this can be a powerful tool for even the most atheistic.

• A hasty answer may not always be the right one, give yourself the ability or time to think and make the right choice utilizing strategy, logic, and reasoning.

• After watching Rurouni Kenshin The legends end (2014), I question the very nature of revenge. Is it possible to be so full of revenge from past injustice that it becomes the destined path of one's destiny. Perhaps this is a good reason why evil should be stopped, for it alters the lives of others, leads to sadness, and possibly brings about corruption as perhaps hate motivates the desire for power. Afterall, surly hate breeds more hate.

• My companion hypothesis: The more you prove yourself to yourself (by accomplishing personal goals), the more valuable others will find you; in addition, the more the opposite gender will find one attractive.

• If a person listens but does not understand, they should not be accounted for "not listening", perhaps it's best to be more clear in reaching the thesis or main points of one's topic discussion. In addition such a matter is the subject of comprehension and language misunderstanding, not ignorance.

• It's my opinion that the level of one's ethics and etiquette should reflect the rationality and depth of one's mind.

• After a long time thinking, I came up with a new suggestion for human study. I propose a new field in History and Psychology called: Morality and Ethicology. Ethicology is the study of functional human interaction and positive personal development. I believe the birth of such a subject will enable human to understand cultures, methods, and ways to bring human interaction to be completely productive and advance the human race to the next level of advanced human interaction.

• In this United States I feel there is a lack of emphasis on friendship. I see more emphasis on relationships than friendships, perhaps due to mass media influence. I wonder if there is a way to influence individuals of all ages to emphasize and build upon friendships rather than the need for relationships. It also seems that once a person is involved in a relationship, they have less emphasis on obtaining or even maybe maintaining friends. I question if this is because of trust issues within a relationship or that the couple develops a personalized interaction only with their partner.

• (controversial) It's my personal belief that one's virginity should be an individual's utmost value. It seems one's virginity is the base of innocents in a person, once lost, changed forever. Perhaps there should be greater value of one's virginity as it seems psychologically a person is giving part of themself to someone else, extending their reach for relationships, or even developing sexual habits. I understand an individual may desire to experiment with sexuality, however perhaps doing so can also be done by not taking away one's virginity. "With sexuality, self-discipline and innocence".

• As an individual, it seems one should understand the art of seduction. How males will go about opportunistically approaching and seducing a female or how females could approach or find a means of attracting a male. It's my opinion that every individual should have moral discipline, self-discipline, and consideration to one's relationship whenever this occurs. If one is in a relationship, one should understand they have another person who trusts them, therefore they should have the moral reasoning to instantly and firmly denying any person who desires to come between one's relationship. I believe it should be made clear that, "no mean no" regardless how erotic or intisive the event seems. If one opens themself to the possibility, then its surely a sign of weakness, low self-esteem, or signs of a short-lasting relationship with their partner. In a relationship now-a-days cheating on one's partner seems to be a reoccurring theme and on going process, with self-disciple, moral-judgment, respect, and consideration one should always do the right thing. A relationship will undoubtedly die when there is a weak, secretive, or untruthful foundation.

•  Beware of false knowledge for it can be just as, if not more, dangerous as ignorance.

•  Living in darkness and sorrow, but strive for success and achievement; with hope, perseverance, and planning, one's darkness will turn into light and sadness into eternal joy.

• I suppose being true to oneself by displaying true emotions makes a person feel better but instead puts negativity towards society, therefore perhaps leaving a sour society. Should it be best to hold in one's pain and mask one's true emotions for the benefit of society? Perhaps this will achieve a pleasant society but with masked emotions. It's my personal opinion to think this is a more better idea and to leave one's problem being personal then to be true to oneself and have a sour society. Perhaps in the long run a pleasant society with masked emotions can make one feel more uplifting and pleasant to interact with others than a society that is sour in which could push a person to be sour also.

• It is one of my greatest wishes to have every individual of any race, ethnicity, religion, age and so on would come together without looking or having to judge each other over exterior properties or individual differences. I do, however, think mindset could perhaps be achieved through institution, such as education, workforce, and striving for similar goals.

• Should it be that businesses should emphasize on hospitality in human resources and customers service and customers should provide with an etiquette in which is rational, logical, understanding, and meaningful but also is respectable to the person working? Perhaps this is irrelevant, but I do feel the need to state this. To state the idea that customers to give workers a great experience, even in complex or difficult situation, while the workers give the customer a great experience in hopefully achieving what the customer wants or apologizing if there are complications or inconveniences and how to go about finding a solution to their problem. In conclusion I believe it should be a pleasent traded experience or a learning process.  

•  The curiosity to understand and learn is the foundation to gain personal knowledge and wisdom.

• After understanding the nature of an organism, it seems clear to me that the reason for life is to survive.

• It's my opinion that the secret of life is strategy, cooperation, and innovation.

• It's my opinion that reading, listening, and comprehension are the tools in which one can discover that which is greater than themselves.

• I think that maybe it would be worth considering the idea that perhaps some things need to be taken apart, reformed or completely redesigned so that innovation or concepts of innovation can occur. For example, I was thinking about how the banking system could have more simplified, secure, efficient, and practical solutions (although I'm unsure of how the banking system completely works). For example, what if transferring from one's business card to one's personal debit card utilized a machine which allowed you to place both cards in at the same time and do a money transfer instantly, no forms or paper work. Another example could be having a list of options of how the money in your bank account could make more money for you as it gains interest. I'm sure everyone could benefit having an online setting or tab that displays a list of option in which will allow you to invest into bonds, savings, CDs and other things that could make you more money. Perhaps have tutorials or videos over these options or how to get started get right away. I'm sure if many people knew how their money could gain interest over time they would at least give it a try. It's small ideas like this that can be used to innovate current technologies making things easier for people. On a negative side, I did think how this could make people more lazy or create a potential for a loss of jobs, perhaps in time as things become more innovative, practical, and simplified, more people would want to create oportunities for themselves which hopefully will eventually inspire those who are lazy to do something more (after all there is a psychology to laziness).

• (future) In order to become an interstellar civilization I believe human need to find a way to sustain their body in unearth-like environments. I believe this will lead humanity to develop alternate body forms, such as a prosthetic body, a robotic avatar, a cybernetic body, a digitized body or body of pure light (alternate radiation or "ghost properties", or perhaps an alternate form with advanced neurological data and processing properties), perhaps a body capable of dimensional accessibility, a body implanted with nano-machines, body that utilizes the properties of a virus, or a bioengineered body with biological changes ( redesigned to perfected universal adaptability).

•  Looking at viruses, bacterias, and cancers, I believe a means of destroying or controlling such things could be done by further sub-incremental examination. Perhaps understanding how it becomes a virus and what a virus is, could lead scientists to an answer. If scientists cannot understand how such things are intelligent, then there is much discoveries to be made. Perhaps in finding the answer we will discover more revelations to intelligent life and the fundamentals of the existence of organisms. Referring back to destroying viruses, perhaps there is a multi process way to get rid of a virus and cancers by maybe, for example, injecting the victim with another virus or bacteria that can help kill off the virus. Then we can treat that virus or bacteria to where we can have more control over it and eventually kill it off. Another idea would be to utilize frequency, different types of radiations, or perhaps magnetisms. It's my understanding that everything has a frequency, theoretically if we find a frequency that can destroy it without harming the patient, we can remove it completely or to the point the human body can get rid of it.

• I find myself interested on the intelligence of bacterial and viruses. How it can block, change, kick out, over produce, or disguises itself. Something about the intelligence of these things makes me feel like there is something happening here that should be further studied. I personally would like to know why and how they are intelligent. Furthermore, the capability of these things makes me feel they can be used elsewhere or have similarities to other things. Perhaps these things resemble similarities to other forms of potential intelligent life, mechanic processes, or even perhaps alternative methods of hacking on computers that has yet to be discovered or utilized.

• I find certain systems in this country to be greatly inconvenient. For example the banking system. Compared to the banking system in other countries, the banking system in the United States seems outdated and at times inconvenient. A good example of convenience would be to have alternate forms of theft prevention services or online fraud prevention which will automatically lead to pictures, times, location, recording and other evidences of possible fraudulent transactions (their sole means is to find simplified methods of catching thieves); doing transaction on your phone or online such as having a temporary code of transactions one can obtain by another; printing a receipt-like form from one’s phone with an external printing device so that one can use to cash in later (this is the idea of finding alternate forms of trade and transactions while perhaps eliminating the need to find an ATM or go to the bank); perhaps having many bank options online without going in person, in addition, having the ability to learn or invest in whatever a person find interesting such as CDs, bonds, loans…ect. Which will allow them to learn and earn more money on the money they already have. The more things are convenient, the more I believe people will be less stressed, find security, become more flexible, and hopefully more productive that perhaps could inspire further innovation and perhaps even community improvements.

• After thinking for a while on the subject of racism and ethnicity, I have brought myself to believe that being prejudice (an attitude; a prejudgment about a social category to which we do not belong) can be a natural thing as one judges another based upon knowledge and experiences. Because of this it's my belief everyone should be polite, kind, and respect another and overlook if another mistreats them. For the prejudice individual, this includes counteracting the thought of having something again someone because of a potential stereotype or judgment. I believe one should be cautious to not for fill an associated stereotype. If one shows themselves as to fulfil a stereotype, then it seems others will make the correlation of that individual to their association stereotype resulting possibly becoming prejudice. Moving on, I believe one shouldn't find it necessary to judge others instantly, instead they should overlook the desire or feeling of becoming prejudice or making cruel or negative assumptions. Furthermore, I believe being prejudice is less destructive than being discriminatory (a behavior based on our attitude; the unequal treatment given to the objects of our prejudice). It's my belief that discriminations should never be justified. All are equal and subjected to what is the truth. I believe everyone should do their best to prove to another that they do not fulfil an associated stereotype. In conclusion, I hope that one day eliminating the feeling of being prejudice or having judgements based on stereotypes can be a step towards having complete social harmony.

• (Negative/ controversial) I think love doesn't actually exist, it's a result of neurological activity and chemical/ hormonal reactions. It has various definitions and meanings depending on emotional/ sentimental values. It is also the result of emotional responses and behaviors due to instinct, irrational desire, or reaction to stimuli. I think I would also include that it is a transgressing ideology based on one's emotions and contextual relevance.

• Atsuyuki Yamataka, a professional pediatrician and surgeon in Japan, has moved me tremendously. I have learn what it means to be truly professional and to challenge oneself to the fullest. I hope that others will know more about him and also become moved by his accomplishments.

• Learning to understand a little about Shintoism, I believe it is a necessity to respect all life.

• I believe it is possible to say dramatic truths, harsh news, the right thing, or undesirable information in a way where it is respectable, polite, and in a way where anyone will embrace.

• Being a strong person doesn’t have to involve being macho or very loud. This can be inconsiderate. One can be strong using gentle words and kind actions. This can make people see you as very honorable, respectful, and wise.

• It’s my opinion that the more true to yourself you become, the less you will worry, the more you will want to achieve. I also believe the more one known oneself, the more others will take interest in a oneself because of personal desires and achievements.

• I think it would be great if there was less government influence on individual lives. Where people weren’t seen as sociological variables and instead allowed to live how they would like to live as long as it has common logical (common sense) values necessary to maintain a harmonious society. I would love to see, learn, and understand new personalized cultures that others could potentially create. Perhaps this can also help the country create more culture. I believe seeing cultures this way can enrich and inspire the lives of others.

• In college, I overheard a person asking why the US should consider becoming Socialist. Although they were very informative, I on the other hand disagree. Socialism is perhaps a functional idea in China and United Kingdom because the people have somewhat grown use to and are comfortable with it. The people in communist and socialist countries have a different mindset of government because of the way their government was brought up. This is very different than that of the United States. Since the fundamentals in the United States are about individual freedoms, this should be the ideal path set fourth for the future of the United States and it's government. It seems logical that it should focus on individual freedoms instead of socialist ideal. A change in government structure could have long term devastating results.  

•  Negative thoughts: It’s my unfortunate thoughts that I believe those who present personal conflicts or demonstrate negative or irrational behaviors towards others have yet to completely understand themselves, culture, perhaps ethics, and what I believe is the importance of social harmony.

• Negative thoughts: I wonder if living for another person is a façade from a person accomplishing their true potential to be someone in this world. Could this be instigated from cultural conditioning?

•   Extremely controversial: I believe a person should always have moral discipline; however, if one's lustful thoughts and feelings become too heavy, perhaps it's best for them to regain hormonal control through self-pleasure and alleviating themselves of lustful and impure thoughts.

• Love is an amazing experience; however, perhaps it’s a little misguided. I believe the idea of love should be seen differently from that portrayed by social expectation, cultural conditioning, and media; I believe it’s without these views that people will get to understand its most profound meanings and treasures.

• Whenever you tell your feelings to someone, be sure to also consider their honest feelings.

• In persistence, achievement. The one who never gives up, eventually achieves what they want if not obtains greater results.

•  I find it most useful that if one is presented with conflict, wait ten seconds before finding a way to react. These ten seconds could make a lot of difference.

• Personally, I find it most ironic and effective that if I thinks or state the worst case scenario to a situation or potential conflict then the worst case scenario won't happen. Perhaps others can share this same irony. Nevertheless, if one thinks or states the best case scenario then often to always the best results never happen.

•  (Outrageous theory) if ghosts have the ability to seamlessly appear and then disappear at will, then perhaps this could be evidence between realities or proof of alternate dimensions. Perhaps by investigating this at a more profound level, we can further understand this phenomena and perhaps obtain a theories of how to traversing dimensions.

• (questionable; something I feel) I find it a situational necessity and perhaps good value that whenever a bad situation, conflict, or negative result occurs, there is always an appropriate action to be taken. As if a random encounter with a life-challenge, it should be without reaction that one should take immediate steps to achieving resolution; as if it is a matters of being a civil duty.  For example, if one gets pulled over and given a ticket, it should be one's instant reaction to dispute (if unlawful) or pay for the ticket immediately without reaction. The feeling I would like to portray in the matter would be as if a robot responding instantly to protocol.

• Perhaps theologically speaking, I believe demons are terrible beyond imagination; however, I believe the demon of extremism/ radicalism is by far the worst.

• Conflicts should be used to learn that we do not know nor understand in the hopes of preventing such conflicts from happening again.

• It's my beliefs that a person who is far surpassed adulthood should not have to be taught about morals or perhaps even ethics. At this time in life they should already know for themselves. It's childish if not known otherwise. Thus should go the saying, the older in age the wiser in wisdom.

• It's important to add value to the lives of others, especially if they are growing.

• (controversial) Could it be a possibility that advanced knowledge could lead to misunderstanding or have potential consequences? For example, if one is skilled about a subject, could it harm them as others try to understand them and their advance concepts? I wonder what could be done if, let's say a savant, had hyper advanced knowledge but no one understood him. Shouldn't there be considerations to take what the individual knows and to archive it until perhaps one day it can be looked at and understood?

•  Knowing too much is possibly detrimental (to one self or others) when another knows too little. (meaning when another refuses to expand their intellect to further knowledge).

• It's my belief that man was born to think for himself. To make his own assumption in life and to try to make sense of the world around him. I believe one is skipping steps in understanding the world around them through natural means if they follow the ideologies of others. Man should always keep an open mind, question everything, obtain answers for himself, and overall use every bit of information as a means to gain knowledge. I believe to follow is to be a follower, to understand is to be a person of intellect.

• In order to teach manners, morals, and ethics to one's children, it's my belief that one needs to be an example for themselves before being the example for their children. After all, surely a child learns and imitates what they see.

• (Maybe; possibly controversial) Perhaps after one/ many has understood and mastered ethics, etiquettes, and morality can they move on to creating a culture of their own ethics, etiquettes and morals. The reason for this is because such ethics, etiquettes, and morality will have assurance of self-discipline, respect and other necessary ethical values to maintain a harmonious and functional society.

• I believe it's best to trust a person only 85% not 100%, even family and friends. It's my opinion this allows for emotional flexibility when conflict ever occurs.

• It's my experience that when one finds internal peace or serenity within themselves, it's not so often for them to be shaken by external influences.

•  It's important to know how one sees themselves in the eyes of another individual. This allows one to correct themselves of any negative traits.

• In the western world sometimes getting angry is necessary in order to have correction or resolution. Although this may be true, I believe it's with consideration to others that one should hold their anger and vent out their anger using words of power and meaning. I believe the power and meaning of one's words can be as just as loud if not more louder than one's screaming their anger at the top of their lungs.

• I believe knowledge always trumps fear.

• A message to the future: If the NWO (new world order; globalists) have their way and spread globally, it's best to deeply research the secret history and not the history one is led to believe. If one knows the true history, then it's best to keep silent and find ways to spread the knowledge anonymously and to reach as much people as possible with extreme caution. Then it's best to get in positions of power and create a group of confidential secret members and secretly take back the governing body. The first solution is to accumulate wealth/ power if possible. then infiltrate and redesign the education system and literature. The next step would be to get creative with ideas and secretly make more than one plan to fall back on. Know the art of deception (like a ninja), psychological tactics, and ways to dissapear/hide to safety. Know your enemy and how to organize an escape. Learn about the founding fathers of United States history (the american revolution), capitalism, and everything the system doesn't want you to know. Do everything in complete secrecy, and always have more than one realistic plan, understand psychology, and find ways to return to the old capitalistic style of the United States, if there is ever to be an NWO-globalist take over (which I believe amplified in 2008 but dates back all the way to the 1920s great depression mobs and wealth/ cult syndicates). 

• It's my belief that A closed mind is like an ant, their world revolves around an ant hill. An open mind is like a dolphin, their world exportable and appearing limitless.

• Seek the difference between conspiracy and strategy.

• I am prolife. I believe there is use for all life, whether it's intended or not. An example of this could be if a child is unintentionally born, I believe perhaps there is use for that child elsewhere such as the military or maybe in a single track education institution for scientific advancement. I also don't believe in the idea of the use of abortion to limit population growth. I believe population growth can be limited by telling the people about population growth and sustainability and having them understand why it is necessary to increase the costs of having a family. I believe that increasing specific costs for raising a family is the proper way of limiting population growth. Another idea is to give incentives to not having children. I believe these are productive ways of limiting population growth without the need for unethical solutions.

• Perhaps guilt can be an effective tool for influence or manipulation. Perhaps this can be a good idea if one has teenagers. The use of reward would probably also be a good idea.

• In the event where a secret society pushes a secret agenda, they can be simply defined as a mafia with rituals.

• I believe there should be a Confucian in everyone.

•  It's my belief to never turn away from information. Information can be powerful. It has the ability to help oneself and others and to guide making the best decisions. The ability to think for oneself, to question, or search for facts and answers is also extremely important.

• I believe it's childish if an adult has to be corrected. They should be capable to know and learn for themselves if they themselves are doing something wrong.

• If one is rude, ignore their rudeness. Remain polite and unaffected by their attitude. If a goal is needed to be achieved then do so. If there is an unpassable block due to the person's attitude, then find another that can help you achieve your goal. It's with moral discipline to not stoop to another's level of negative attitude and irrationality. Instead do one's best to uplift them. If one uplifts them, remains kind to them, and remains polite, the uncorrected individual will possibly later see their imperfections and possibly change.

•   Establishing a routine is good for comfort, however not a good idea for all things. It's good to try new and original ideas. Doing this one can discover innovations of greater value.

• Confucianism for me is a life style not an attitude. It should be practiced ever second of every minute, especially when around others.

• Males should understand the mindset of a female. Although very difficult, one should understand and try to comprehend their complexity. What is yes may not necessarily mean so for there can also be an unanswered emotional meaning. It's best to analyze about how a female might be thinking. Psychology and common sense will prove useful to understand a complex or unfamiliar emotional logic. In addition, a good practice to follow is anything a female perceived as negative is reflected as twice as negative in her thoughts. To be cautious of one's words or actions is a good precaution.

•   A female should understand the importance of showing respect to her male partner, because respect for him means a great deal.

• I believe civility is important for all forms of communication.

• Apologize are always productive, perhaps even if a situation doesn't demand it. The more humble the apology, the more another should notice and perhaps respond. In greater hopes, I believe a humble reaction can bring people closer together.

• There is a difference between a person who lets others walk all over them than a person who feels it's best to have others have their way. The person who lets others walk all over them has no understanding of self. They should understand what is it they want, and what is beneficial to himself and others. Self-esteem, confidence, and a necessary pride is also a necessity. Moreover, I believe there is a strategy to everything. It seems essential to ask what is it a person wants, they should be honest to themselves and others. They should be firm with their decision and perhaps look for ways to satisfy the needs of others without over imposing their own decisions. To work together and find a mutual solution. This is being honest and understanding oneself and others. It is also out of rationality and self generosity to help others. Sometimes to let others have their way completely may be beneficial at the moment or later. It's best to help or to allow for peaceful relations. It's my belief that happiness is achieved when there are satisfying and desired results. It's my opinion happiness is also in making others happy.

•  The understanding and control of one's attitude could change the world of those around them.

• Perhaps one should nor judge or correct others unless they themselves are perfect.

• With persistence, a healthy body, a healthy mind.

•  It most unfortunate that it is my honest opinion that I still believe the world is still uncivilized. It is uncivilized despite of its peaceful ideologies, rational populations, elite (and secretive) societies, and various peaceful religions. I believe the act of being completely civil relies on life-long practiced values reflected through lifestyle to which is upheld by the self and in unity with others without reason. It is my opinion that until the world becomes a functional family (looking at each other as brothers and sisters) which seeks resolution without conflict, the world will not meet my civil expectations.

• I believe men pure of heart, innocence, and far from lustful influences can live without having a female. I believe it's possible for them to find joy in their own ambitions if they so choose.

• Should I believe that great wisdom comes from those who follows and seeks what is true to oneself than to follow blindly to what could be true by another?

• Technologically speaking, I believe the things that are most common are the things we need innovation in, especially in the field of medicine.

•   It's my opinion that if a place gives too much problems or discomforts then perhaps it could be in one's best interest to move to a place of more efficiency, security, stability, and offers opportunity.

• A good way to see things when life gets heavy with problems is to treat problems and obstacles as an opportunity to prove and challenge oneself. If the situation gets out of control there is always the ability to seek help. It's my personal opinion that I believe in any situation there is a right thing to do and a strategy to overcome it. I also believe every person needs a quiet place to think about steps they can take in order to overcome an obstacle. I believe it's in silence that good ideas arise.

• Referring to noble actions, helping others, and being kind, being, generous, and being Confucian-like, it doesn't matter what people don't see. It's best not to look for recognition. Nevertheless, if not rewarded on Earth than perhaps there is reward in Heaven, or even reward by leaving a positive example for the next generation.

• I believe everyone should really think about the importance of the lives of others and how much the lives of others share a sense of commonality with the life of their own. I find myself imagining what if I were best friends with everyone; young, old, disable, wealthy, poor, different race, cultures, and life styles. I imagine there would be so much to learn, share, and understand from others. Imagine the stories one could hear. Imagine the various personalities and lifestyles people live. Imagine how rich life would be if everyone could be a best friend of everyone else. I would like to be a part of this kind of society. How can this be achieved I wonder.

• One who lives in fear, stress, or pressure may live without seeing the beauty of life.

• Live in unison to beauty, peace, and innocence for it resembles heaven on Earth. 

• I dream for a world of peace, harmony, and brotherly and sisterly coexistence with All so that humanity can venture beyond the stars and experience the further beauties of the universe.

• If only humanity could see all the evil it's done throughout history and understand how human life is precious and how humanity was meant to do great things and not to be used to harm each other. The future belongs not only to them but also to their future generations.

• I have found much beauty, harmony, and inspiration in Joe Hisaishi's orchestras, especially from orchestrating pieces from Hayao Miyazaki's phenomenal animated masterpieces. I would love to express much appreciation for such beautiful and life-changing pieces. I would love to somehow recreate the feeling I get from these pieces and express them in my literature.

• Looking into music that inspires me, I can't help but to also give my respects to Ryuichi Sakamoto. A pianist who to me makes music that touched my soul.

• I believe there is a magic that comes by observing those who push themselves, try new things, drive innovation, and primarily squeeze ever once of their being and dedication to creating masterpieces. I believe this is something everyone should experience for themselves. I believe this is the remedy that gets people to want to do amazing things in life. I believe it to be the elixir that motivates and inspires others to dedicate and push themselves far beyond their limitations and current talents.

• I enjoy almost every kind of music. I see it as expression, art, and something that portrays emotional meaning. I think it's great to look onto many genres including the genres one doesn't like, because even in such genres, one can something find treasures that can be used to inspire them. 

• It might be best to keep great ideas silent and to oneself because it might appeal to someone willing to steal the idea or it could build expectation to those who could become disappointed of an idea isn't carried out.

• I think it's extremely necessary to get away from those who subject a person to negativities and irrational behavior, because it's very important to have high ego and high self esteem. A crazy person once told me, "life is too short for the bullsh!t of the world or the b!tching of a person who's seemingly never happy."

• I have a history of being unlucky, therefore I strategize to include this defect. Using Murphy's law as a tool goes a long way.

• My own brain sometimes disappoints me, because it's sometimes slow and cannot think strait or logically. I often find myself saying things that sounds okay bus doesn't make sense. Since I know multiple language such as English and Portuguese fluently, and Japanese and Spanish as a second language, I often blame it on my verbal skills. The fact is I don't really know why my brain does this. I can think extremely logically but when I go to talk, it comes out as I never had intended. It's easy for me to say things that don't make sense. Sometimes remembering names and words seem like the hardest thing on Earth to recall. I wonder if it's because I'm an abstract thinker or an artist who mostly uses his left brain. Nevertheless on the bright side, I think of myself as highly intellectual, intelligent in sophisticated and even analytical ways, and I have never met another person as creative as I am in the Western world. I believe my creativity, use of ethics, and intellectuality to be my most prized capabilities. I'm also very fit and athletic, because of my passion for practicing martial arts and parkour; maybe I should also state that before I age and everything begins to fall apart.

• Be aware of implementing ideas, they could build expectation which could lead to disappointment if not perused; it could also lead for ideas to be stolen. I find ideas are best kept as suggestions and to be said with people one trusts.

• When a problem or annoyance by another presents itself, it's best to calmly and rationally find a solution. Arguing could leave a temporarily grudge and a negative environment which could unknowingly affect others around you. I find those with deep intellects can easily move past problems and annoyances by ignoring, forgiving, proceed past, or seeking a solution. I believe there is much to do with an individual's psychology to find a rationalized solution.

• Perhaps even the coldest hearted man can become warm if a treats or conditions the other a certain way.

•  I often find the minor things people to do to each other significant in relationships or with family that could harm or improve relationships with others. Much of these are small ethical or polite matters. Such as: never yelling for a person, go to them directly; if a room is closed, nock on the door, ask to come in; ask a person to do something instead of ordering them. Asking and not ordering someone to do something, I think this leads a person to civility and respect for one's individuality and teaches them to think for themselves. I also find that if one needs help, it's best to state your appreciation if they were willing to help. Furthermore, yelling and ordering should be necessary when there is an emergency.

• I believe it’s great to make money until it affects welfare. Once it affects welfare and doing good for others, doing business with this entity should be discouraged.

 

• Could it be that loyalty is meaningless if the leader lacks virtue?

• It’s in good personal welfare to keep ones brain healthy at all times.

• I believe it's by being intellectual (a self-thinking intellectual) that a person becomes their own unique person.

• I'm a Confucian at heart, I believe ethics is the path to heaven.

• Although, I believe myself to be a Confucian, I see now that I'm actually a mix of Confucianism and various unique or different philosophies that are of my own and that might be shared with other philosophers.

• While researching how ancient civilizations came to be, with the use of religion, ideology, and philosophy, I stumbled upon a question. Should ethics come before religion? Controversially, should ethics be established before the understanding of religion instead of religion establishing ethics? It would make sense for people to have a sense of being human and to be civilized with each other and not to kill each other for ideology. I believe perhaps ethics should be established as the fundamentals to human understanding, behavior, and interaction before obtaining knowledge about religion. This creates a foundation to which people can be civilized and communicate rationally and not spring into argument when someone strongly offends leading to conflict.

• A wild, extreme, and highly controversial idea which is probably not worth mentioning is what if Confucianism was added to the bible? Would this make people more Christ-like by nature?

• I believe Confucian qualities are personalized. For example, if a person helps another and expects a thank you or anything in return, then it is possibly out of the self; however, if one has a personalized Confucian quality, they help someone and don't expect anything in return because they felt within themselves an obligation to do what's right (they do it out of respect for others and social harmony).

•  I believe it's necessary to ignore those who are wrong or do wrong. It is in one's desire to help that one should correct another. If another also asks if they are doing something wrong, it's in one's favor to politely tell them what they are doing wrong. The more big their wrong doing, the less serious one should make it seem for the comfort to correct another. Perhaps this is a good idea.

• If I could invent a term that hopefully doesn't already exist or have meaning, I would like to invent Stanleyism. I would also like to define it as "Stan-Confucianism". A term I would like to define as a modern Confucian that utilizes scientific notation as a means of objective analysis and hypothesis. Moreover, it utilizes logic, reasoning, common sense, psychology and eastern-western traditions to define ethics and etiquettes for the sake of social harmony, self enlightenment, and global, or perhaps in the future, intersteller unity. The very core of this philosophy is solely Confucian.  

•  Extremely controversial: I see sexuality as a normal human behavior. Examining history, I made a personal distinction between traditional and liberal. On a traditional lifestyle perspective it should be kept private and never spoken about. To do so could be considered, rude, lewd, inconsiderate, irrational, and uncivilized. The intimacy of oneself and a life partner should be kept very private. However, on a liberal lifestyle perspective, I believe it’s something that should perhaps be socially acceptable and open. Maybe humanity can benefit from this by perhaps eliminating social barriers by showing everyone who they really are without any personal boundaries and limitations regarding nudity, sexuality, and lifestyle choices. Imagine having the freedom of having a friendly photo with your friends and family and a person decided to playfully flash the camera; imagine if everyone thought it was funny, teasing, and immature instead of lewd, damning, and obscene. Perhaps a liberal take to sexuality can be the next big step in normal/natural human interaction. I believe this way of life can also be questioned as what would life be like if everyone was embracive to open sexuality, nudity, and possible socially acceptable alternate lifestyles. Would people become like those in Sodom and Gomorrah, or with the use of ethics, can they become a civilization that is respectable, rational, and civilized towards sexual conduct with themselves and others with the use of etiquettes and conditions. Furthermore, I categorize myself as very traditional, I heavily believe anything sexual should be kept private and between a man and a woman. I also believe this liberal sexual lifestyle is unsustainable for people in present time period and perhaps that of the near future. Without ethics I believe such a liberal sexual lifestyle is damning. Nonetheless, I do respect both lifestyle perspectives. It’s my belief that individuals who are of a traditional and liberal lifestyle perspective should respect, be considerate, and be generous to each other’s life style choices.  

•  I believe there is time for everything. A time to laugh, a time to cry, a time of joy, and a time to cheer up another.

• Life should be a pleasant experience. Life should be pleasant for everyone, regardless of status, race, belief, income, or personal fallacies.

• I believe everyone should be encouraged to be an enthusiast of that which they like as it may bring personal enlightenment and inspiration for others.

• It's best to respect what does not belong to you, always politely ask for permission.

• I find it a great idea to greet everyone you first see when you come inside another person's house. Perhaps a good idea is if the person who is allow you to enter the house can introduce you to others, or have you go to all members of the house and introduce yourself or at least let them know you've arrived.

• Always make the best of the simple things in life. It's the simple things that can make life enjoyable.

• I find it possible to go past one's fault and to keep planning or performing as if it was yesterdays obstacle.

• An open mind, an open page of a book. To listen or see is to read, to read is to think or imagine. Perhaps an open mind will leads to new discovery and a greater intellect.

• History holds many wisdoms.

• I believe consumer products and services should utilize generosity. I believe this also creates value for the product and services if not more.

• I believe people should live the lifestyle they choose. If they choose to fight or brawl with another, it should be with others of the same or similar lifestyle.

• I believe it's critical people should seek fault within themselves first before blaming others.

• Protect the innocent, regardless of status, lifestyle, race, beliefs, or nationality. Humanity needs to protect, have sympathy, and care for all of humanity.

•  All evil should understand and acknowledge they are doing evil. Perhaps if evil truly sees their evil ways, they can have a chance to change. If evil continues, then justice should be merciless. I believe it's best to never widely publicize evil for it can also be an awakening for others to do evil.

• I believe one of the greatest immovable forces is standing up for yourself and for what you believe in, no matter what.  It's who you are that will define your environment and shape the world.

• Turn fear into a mechanic of courage and example to do what is right.

• I think people should live the lifestyle they want without being judged, scrutinized, or condemned. We only get one shot at life, it makes sense to live in a way that makes you happy.

•   To question authority and law is to seek, understand, learn, revise, and even ensure justice.

• My ways of getting motivated: Most of the time I am self-motivated. I do struggle sometimes to find motivation. It really depends what I’m doing. For example, if I want to motivate myself for graphic design, I look at illustrations others have done. Often this works and I gather ideas along the way. Lately, I find myself struggle to do math for new business ideas I am interested in. It seems difficult to find the right motivation necessary to be inspired and to continue to progress building plans. I suppose I could set deadlines, but it seems unnecessary. I believe the best idea would be to forget about it for the moment and put my interest elsewhere so that eventually I will feel the self-push to continue.  Perhaps this method could be useful for others.

•  Nothing means anything unless you give it value.

• If there is no option to live different lifestyles or lifestyles one desires then the system is made for a single track lifestyle. This is surely a limited freedom or a system by design.

•  There is a time for everything.

• In fear, an opportunity to overcome fear.  

• Even if life isn't fare, it's up to one to make the best of it.

• Counter culture, a term I made up while watching rock stars on a television screen at Las Vegas's Hard Rock Cafe. I use this term referring to the context that culture is a singular mainstream variable where it competes against with one's own self defined culture. To state it another way, a self created culture that does not follow mainstream culture.

• I thought it would be interesting if I could come up with my own, perhaps secret or non public, hand signs or gestures. I thought about creating a hand gesture that could connect people. Imagine having a hand sign that could be used to instantly connect people as if they were part of a large anonymous family. A family that uses ethical-principles, logic, rationality, civility, courtesy, etiquettes, kindness with the moral desire to do what is right, what is common sense, and what is in sake for social harmony. It would be interesting to have a mass group of people that is intellectually separated from other average ordinary people. If I could imagine such a hand signal or gesture I would use two kinds. The first would be the announcement. The second would be the aware. The announcement would consist of a movement that touches or rubs the chin. This signal or gesture would let others who are of similar intellect or ethics to acknowledge one's presence. The second signal or gesture called the aware, is a response from the announcement. This signal or gesture consists of  the touching or pointing to the forehead to let the individual introducing the announcement signal or gesture that one is aware of their presence and can instantly form a family-like connection. This allows both individuals to interact in a way which is ethical, rational, and open to all discussion subjects (controversial or emotionally sensitive). This also gives both individuals the ability to help each other and to instantly develop a collective relationship.

• If a currency-less society were ever to exist wouldn't there be a part of society that would never want to work but desire the benefits of others? "I believe in such a system, those who do nothing will eventually get inspired to create. I believe this is because even when someone truly does nothing they want to be appreciated, respected, and to have some sort of status in a society that contributes so much. I believe this to be human nature. The system can use the non working class to its advantage as the non working class may feel the need to do something such as doing something intellectually rather physically. What i mean by this, is that they might want to peruse education for their own benefit or come from an institution which produces something like art or maybe even personal fitness."

• One of the greatest immovable forces is standing up for yourself, no matter what.  

The ideas listed below are highly sensitive, controversial, and erotic, read at one's own digression. They are my ideas of sexuality, my thoughts on ethics regarding sexuality, and suggestions and ideas.

Caution 

Entering the Steam Zone

• Controversial: I believe that which is erotic, can also have the opportunity to include innocence. An abstract undefined non-graphical example can include a scenario in which a situation can become unexpectedly and unintentionally embarrassing and erotic, can be an opportunity to be innocent, comfortable, memorable, humbling, and pleasant with the use of innocence.

• Controversial: In nudity and eroticism, innocence, purity, and humility. In addition, respect, compassion, courtesy, and self-discipline.

•  (maybe) Highly controversial: I'm a believer that society should completely overlook nudity and moderate sexuality (or perhaps all sexuality; of course with the use of ethical decision and self moral and discipline). I believe embracing and overlooking these current social indecencies will make society more in balance of people's desires (lustful or carefreeness), free-thinking human behavior, the strong structure of personal moral decisions, develop arousal tolerance, the embracing of innocence, a personal respect for human decisions, and lifestyle diversity and choices. I also believe the demonstration of the existence of such subjects will push people to indirectly make good lifestyle choices as they have an example of how they want to see themselves and what they believe suits their lifestyle. 

•  Highly controversial: Whenever extremely aroused, I think its necessary to never engage in sexual behavior that one could regret or find themselves shameful. Instead I controversially believe it's proper to relieve oneself of arousal alone with the privacy of a restroom. After relieving oneself, logical thinking will immediately return allow for a person to think logically once more with the addition of rarely continuing to be aroused . I believe this is the right thing to do than to do something shameful and that will become a great burden in ones mind. I believe this to be partly strategy in controlling one's arousal.

•  (maybe) Controversial: I believe when someone does something naughty or arousing, they shouldn't be taken serious, not seen as if it is a big deal, seen as being playful or care-free, and seen as if under the influence. When individuals are aroused their brain works differently than when they are normal. This is because there are hormones and a chemical change occurring throughout their body. I think it should be socially acceptable and something that should be overlooked/ looked passed when another behaves in accordance to their arousal, afterall the feeling of arousal is a natural human feeling. Moreover, it's a feeling that society find best repressed so that they don't embarrass themselves or ruin their image. The reason I believe it should be socially acceptable is because if they are allowed to express the feelings they are having, they can learn to control their aroused emotion or get it out of their system before their age later prevents them from having this feeling.  Furthermore, it's best to respect the actions of another as it is their decision and over look their faults.

• Controversial: I believe people should dress the way they want. It's my personal believe that with personal ethics to retrain oneself from arousal, tolerant from becoming aroused, or taking irrational action on behalf of arousal. I believe people can even dress in a way that if they want they can even show nudity. I had the thought that in the future people wouldn't mind seeing nudity, they found it normal, and would go about their day in cooperation with those who dress showing nudity, are partially dressed, or do not dress at all. In todays age, it would be seen as heavily arousing, distractive, frustrating, disgusting, or intimidating. The reason being is because society today isn't use to seeing nudity (referring on a social level). It would have to adapt a mindset like that of the various indians in the world which do not care to wear clothes or see others wear clothes. Furthermore, I'm a big enthusiast of fashion and controversially I believe nudity has the possibility to be the next greatest trend/ movement in fashion if ever accepted by mainstream society.

• Controversial: I believe society should be more acceptable to adult culture or that with an erotic nature. I believe an individual should be appreciated for their work that has an adult or erotic nature. If it's not to one's likings they should respect their work and politely address what they did like or politely excuse themselves. I believe it is in good respect to politely state their disposition or disinterest. I also believe it's important to not discourage the individual and to insist that he or she continues to do what they love or have interest in.

• Controversially, almost every female in my life has unfortunately given me drama. This is the reason I find seeking a relationship (not to mention not losing my virginity) not within my desires or goals. I found that I am content being by myself and working on projects that are related to my interest. If I could change my association with relationships, I would like for my relationships to be pleasant, pure/innocent, respectful, compassionate, and not to where it relates to the relationship mentality/culture of western culture and ideology. Overall, I desire a relationship that is good, pure, innocent, and traditional. 

• (maybe) Controversial: I think nudity should be acceptable in society. By this I don't mean people should disregard clothes all together, I think they should tolerate and think nothing of when they see nudity. Moreover, I question why nudity is indecent and lewd. It's my opinion that the idea that nudity is lewd and perceived as immoral is culturally defined. It seems natural for individuals to want to see the body of another, humans are naturally curious. Although, it is an invasion of privacy due to our current way of thinking. It wouldn't be so much if we were like the Indians. However, perhaps I'm seeing this wrong. I'm sure there are many reasons why nudity can be considered lewd and indecent, but I think the main reason is perhaps it's because not of the arousal but of the possible desire for lust. In such a case then it truly is up to moral-discipline and ones self-reasoning. I would think it would be greed/selfishness, a logical defect, or moral-misconduct to where one wants lust, especially with many subjects. However, perhaps with the condition that everyone sees everyone else's bare body on a casual basis, such a desire could become inexistent. For example: if a person grew up with nudity, I think they would have more control of their lustful urges or to have a barrier of what is moral/ right and wrong. Therefore, my conclusion is if people were conditioned for nudity becoming acceptable, perhaps the idea of nudity being lewd and indecent, and those with the desire for lust, could disappear. I think this could be a good way to make nudity more acceptable by/in society.

• It's my opinion that all controversial behavior according to arousal or exposition of any nudity should be in consideration to those around if it's pleasant to them or not. If one understands by those around them that their body or behavior is unpleasant to those around them, they should then perhaps sees to continue immediately. Perhaps this idea can also be applied to those with bodies that can perhaps be seen undesirable by others. In such a case perhaps a designated location may be of use. 

• Nudity and one's ability to be open to aroused behavior shouldn't be for everyone. It all depends on the individual's lifestyle choices. I would categorize this as a liberal life style where a traditional or "normal" lifestyle is to be conservative. Nevertheless, each should respect each other's lifestyle choices and perhaps ignore or politely discourage when a situation arises as a result to one's lifestyle choice. 

• Extremely controversial: wouldn't it be embarrassing or problematic to consider the idea of a person politely and openly asking to "relieve" oneself if one feels very aroused? By this I mean the use of self pleasure to "relieve" one's aroused state. I wildly think maybe one day society could become accustomed to such indecent standards yet find this as a normal way to be excused or to regain normal thinking. 

• Perhaps it's best to ask others if they are alright with nudity or aroused behavior before performing an aroused behavior (like disrobing publicly). 

•  Perhaps I should let it be known that all controversial topics concerning nudity and other are of my own design concerning my own personal fantasies, theories, and imaginations. Although, it gives me pleasure to think about the possibility of the existence of nudity in such a way, it's certain that such an idea will never exist, or at least not in the present generations if never at all. I still find it a matter of personal discussion in the expression of ideas and of my own outrageous creativity or ability to examine morality and see how something can be made possible. 

• Controversial: If I could imagine a alternate reality of society that caters to look beyond the cultural standards regarding indecency, I would imagine a world of more creative freedoms and self-assured ethics towards arousal. An example I can give is imagine an interview on TV where the reporter is unconsciously showing her undergarments. Since society is used to seeing nudity or such events, they overlook the occurrence as if it's not happening. If one is conservative, I could imagine he could politely tell her what is happening to where she can calmly and confidently fix the situation without feeling embarrassed. Another more crazy example is if a person decides to partially wear clothes on a hot day. When others pass by, they make no effort to care of the person's lack for attire. I think such a society can be given more freedom,  maintain confidence, have a more basis for gender equality (or considerable justice if you will), and be allowed to not have the mindset for lust perhaps due to curiosity. 

• I find myself drawn to the imagination over the idea of nudity being natural and to be a common everyday occurrence. Having the ability to feel borderless, open, and completely honest with myself and others. Having the feeling that all humans to an extent all look the same bare. To see what another person looks like and to build a tolerance to look beyond the appearance and look into the mind. However, perhaps this is a common ideology. Perhaps the cultural standard of clothing and behavior has a reason. Perhaps it should stay this way for the benefit and protection of society. I struggle in my mind to come to terms with how I would like to dream about a different society compared to how society currently is. I'm sure I must be wrong. Perhaps without the proper mindset, restraints, and personal ethics it could lead to incivility and danger. Perhaps such a world is best kept in my imagination. 

• I question if we should look at sexuality as if "under the influence" (like drinking). Controversially, maybe using this we can make sexuality less taboo and more socially accepting (in general).  

•  According to my unfortunate analysis that's been proven thus far, the best way for a female to get use to letting another person of the opposite gender see their body is if they catch them in the act a few times pleasuring themselves. If they are caught in the nude, there will most-likely be hostility. It's important that the other person of the opposite gender acts as if they don't care seeing them pleasure themselves and ignore them or is polite and gets out of their way quickly, they will more than likely get use to them seeing them in such a way. The best time is at night. It's the most common time for this activity. This method will more than likely take time, however, and may not apply for everyone.

• I like new and interesting philosophical ideas regardless of how pervy or arousing they can be. I'm particular interested in davidwhiterock27's sexual culture principles.His ideas takes arousal and merges them with what could be a functional alternative to sexuality. By far it's one of the most strange and yet interesting ideas to sexuality I have come across. Perhaps a more impersonal, innocent, or mutual alternative to sexuality.

• Looking back at this idea, I want to emphasize the idea of free-nudity and sexuality is nothing without first obtaining a personal sense of ethics. 

• I completely believe it's perhaps best to see sexuality as a fantasy and to never merge it with reality. 

• I want to consider my philosophy regarding sexuality as human preservation through erotic innocence and functionality. I believes if humans adapt to the barriers of their sexual natures and make it functional for commonality, that they can remain in a state of moral preservation, sexual-harmony, while having a certain level of eroticism acceptably by society to which does not pose as a destructive force or consequence to human life or individual moral development. 

• I find David's idea exciting. Although it can be considered immoral or controversial, I felt the need to consider the alternative to a different controversial sexual lifestyle perspective. With his permission, I will share his list of ideas bellow:
  "My Vision of Sexual Culture"
  These are the golden values for my idea of a sexual culture. They aren’t supposed to be taken seriously. I just thought I should put my ideas out there.
  I still see sexuality as a seemingly taboo topic in the United States. After thinking about the idea for so long, I questioned the very sexual culture of the United States and of the world. I even talked about it at DEFCON with a group of very accepting strangers. I wonder if there is a way to harmonize sexuality and create values for a safer and more functional way of sexual activity. If I could create a functional and harmonized sexual culture what would it be? In this quick article I will describe my vision of what I think sexual culture should be; something I would like to call Fox Harmony Culture, Bate Culture, or Sexual Discipline. Here is the golden list of what my vision for a liberal sexual culture for the United States would be like:
  1. Females have freedom to be completely exposed. They can be nude anywhere they want. I would encourage them to be shameless of the exposure of their body at any place. I would encourage that being topless, bottomless, wearing lingerie, or only wear their bra or panties publicly is a common normal street trend. I would discourage them from participating if they are morbidly obese or may not look too visually unappealing. I would encourage them that when it’s hot outside to feel free and open to completely strip naked. If they want to take a tan outside anywhere, that they can do so without judgment. I also strongly encourage that use of nudity remains innocent, polite, and carefree. I believe female nudity should be a respected and be a natural casual social activity. I think this idea will encourage personal physical fitness and display the beautiful display of the female form. 
  2. All females can masturbate and pleasure themselves wherever they want as long as they can maintain a hygienic and clean area. I would encourage them to bring a towel and anti-germ lotion. In addition, I would like to state, I am greatly inspired by the Chaturbate community and would love to see how the idea of Chaturbate can form a functional sexual-harmonious society and environment.
  3. All females are part of a sisterhood. Part of a sisterhood is that they can engage in intimate female sexual activity with each other as a natural and casual activity. They can do this because there is no sexual harm from this activity. I think this activity can bring females closer together.
  4. I would make a masturbation culture where masturbation is a common activity among friends. We encourage females and males to engage in masturbation with each other as a common friendship activity (members can be called masturbatists or batists). I would encourage mutual masturbation among the opposite genders. If others don’t want to show their genitals, I would encourage them to have a blanket over them or pleasure themselves with their clothes on (dry masturbation). I would make it to where touching, masturbating each other, and engaging in oral activities is normal but only by consent. The idea of having all sexual activities by consent will be a vital value in such pleasurful activities. I would strongly forbid sexual penetration of the male and female genitals, because it has the ability to create life. I would make it part of masturbation culture to prevent such action and to respect all life. Since I also value marriage, I think this is a good replacement for sexual activity and a good way to create value where people prize their virginity and want to get a partner to spend the rest of their life with and to have sexual intercourse as a way to keep the marriage strong, special, and fresh.
  5. Males would be limited in nudity and cannot participate in public masturbation. Their nudity would be allowed only around water recreational areas and around their property. I would encourage males to only display nudity if they are visually pleasant by being well groomed, perhaps completely hairless, or having minimal amount of body hair. Males would also have to regard females with a high priority of respect while participating in the sexual culture. I would encourage males to prize their erections as a tribute to arousal, praise, and appreciation and to show it off freely (with clothes on unless in water recreational areas). I would also strongly encourage males to relieve themselves in private when they obtain a strong urge for lust, become too aroused, or have the desire to get back to having a neutral sexuality free mindset. They are free to masturbate around their own property, inside their own vehicles, and in places that might allow for male masturbation (I would encourage places like movie theaters and maybe in public transportation and on board airplanes).
  6. Allow for complete intercourse with full penetration of the female and male genitals that can be exposed in public after a couple has been officially married.
  7. Males and females are encouraged to participate in gender cohesion. I would encourage males and females to share restrooms, dressing rooms, and participate in activities that are gender opposite or gender free. I would also encourage males and females to have the luxury of sleeping together (nonsexually) and perhaps even groom, dress, and bathe each other. I think this is a possible way to harmonize genders while creating a culture where individuals can both find partners to spend the rest of their lives with.
  8. The protection of these ideas and that they keep to their core values, and to prohibit them from being progressive. I discourage the idea of having another Sodom and Gomora. I would like these ideas to be the unchangeable core of the sexual culture and to not evolve into anything else that could later demoralize innocence and decay marriage and the human sexual experience.
  In conclusion, I think this version of sexual culture can establish a code of values to which can respect the female form and sexuality, can create genders cohesive while also encourage marriage, and can establish a functional and harmonious sexual culture."
