some things are not synonyms

Watch out, now.
I'm about to get nerdy.

I was having a discussion with someone today and they kept using "ethics" and "morality" interchangably. These words do not mean the same thing!

Morality is based on the mores of a culture, people, society or what-have-you. Morals can change and Morality can be quantified and statistically documented. Where as Ethics is based on "ethos". Ethics implies a standard that ought not to change. It begs the question of Right vs. Wrong, not just "What is the majority doing?"
People are aware of this distinction, even if they don't know it. I mean, hasn't your mother ever said to you "Just becuse everybody's doing it, doesn't make it right"?

In the same way "transform", does not mean "shift". It's a complete change. You don't transform a little bit.

I know it seems a kind of up-tight, but in a world where so many people are looking for truth, the lack of clearly defined language is like shooting a runner in the foot and then telling them to race: it's not helpful.

So, dear reader, I encourage you to check your definitions and your assumptions/ enjoy your life.

Don't take it personally.

The idea that anyone in the world can see what I'm writing kind of creeps me out. That's right, I said it, you creep me out.

But I don't think you'll worry about it.

I've never done this "blog" thing before and to be honest if it weren't for a professor asking me to, I wouldn't be typing now. Mostly, because I don't like typing. (I'm sure I'll get over it.)

I might talk about what I do, what I think, my many misadventures or I might climb up on my soap box and JUST ramble. Whatever this thing evolves into (if it progresses at all), will be something that happens. . . not tonight.
