Just the ramblings of my mind that I can't answer. Rhetorical questions that just seem to make no sense to me, just like the world. Maybe people here have answers.

Why must we be "diplomatic" about our thoughts and feelings? Why can't we fully express ourselves? Why is this such a taboo in our society, and should it be taboo? Who decides if it should be? Why do we make ourselves lie to save the feelings of other people? Why do and would they take it personally when it's not a direct attack? 

I know I'm a selfish person and I feel like I should be more sharing and caring, but what about this makes me good or bad? The part where I am selfish and acknowledge that or the part where I acknowledge this fact but seek no action to remedy what I identify as a bad habit? Who decides what's 'bad' and 'selfish' anyway? What if it's only 'selfish' to those who were raised in this type of society? What if I don't seek to remedy this because I don't feel like I should change who I am? I know this doesn't gain me friends but I seek comfort in fewer, closer friends anyway. 

Why do we fight war in the name of peace? Why must we brainwash the young on rights and wrongs, why can't we offer them the wider spectrum of choices and allow them to decide for themselves? I feel total apathy towards humanity. A normal person would say that this is wrong, and that I should care about humanity's fate, but I don't. Does this make me a bad person, or a bad person only in the eyes of who think I should care? Should I even care what they think at all?  Do I feel like I should waste energy on trying to help people who don't listen to me unless I am Ascended Master or God?

Is genetic manipulation wrong or bad? Religious argue that it's playing god. But we are human meaning 'god man'. If we are god's children that makes us part of god, so really it's 'playing human'. But does this justify it at all? Is it wrong for humans to be born in labs rather than naturally? What makes it wrong or right? Who makes it wrong or right?  Is it wrong for a race to genetically manipulate their natural makeup to survive more extreme conditions? Why is it wrong? Is brainwashing wrong?

If this is false freedom, what is real freedom? How do I tell the difference? What if Ascension were a grander scheme of false freedom, one harder to recognize, where it is just another massive lesson like this was? How do I define freedom? Is it something that everyone really wants like they say, when they cling to saviors instead of liberating themselves? Would it then be wrong to try to save them when they want to remain captives as their own choice of free will?
