BH gets the brain moving.

so as alexis, lindsay, darius, and i drove down wilshire today...
and in between the song changes, random dances, and hysterical laughter...the conversation got serious when we passed the new Burberry store in BH ... and the fact that burberry employees used to skin jews and other companies alike would make belts and garments from Jewish people's skin...then that lead to are all people genuinely good people ? in unison we all agreed thats not true....and then darius started talking about people do what they have to do to get by...and while i find that somewhat true...i think that people know good choices from bad choices, and will lose their sense of "moral values" in a "difficult situation"...to make themselves rich ? skin a few minorities?

but when it comes down to it... would you chose YOU or SOMEONE STRUGGLING?

i feel this question and this answer forces one to define what exactly is struggling...and i also think the circumstances given should be extremely specific. lindsay eagerly said -- well id give to someone/anyone else before i gave to me. and i, just as eagerly said...yah, no, i wouldnt. am i selfish ? yes. but have i lost sincerity and concern for all other beings ? of course not. i feel that at the end of the day life comes down to the choices you make. and the choices are based off of one's own desire/want. if you want to do something, youre going to do it ...find a way to see it through to make sure it happens. i reasoned out my statement by asking her if she gave to every homeless man who stood on the street corner. she said no. so then i was confused. i dont give to every homeless person i see, but if im in the mood i'll give my last few dollars or whatever food i happen to be grubbing on in the car. when i dont give, its not because i dont give a fuck, its just i just dont give.point blank. if it came down to me and the last man on earth, and who was gonna eat ...im gonna eat. maybe id share. but i wouldnt neglect me. now if it was between my grandmother and i...im going to give the food to her. idk....just thought this topic would fit nicely on my blog. its something to think about thats for sure.
