RE: Whatever you fucken like...because of freedom

in Reflections19 days ago (edited)

It's just so easy to make a couple of bucks here, and in some countries that is a lot. And it's incredibly easy to abuse, too. That's a downside of freedom, if it's not handled with responsibility, it can become harmful for society. And we're not exactly in an epoch of humankind where acting responsibly is given the value it deserves. On the contrary, each for themselves, me against the world, take what you can get.

And the consequences here are not that big. Down votes, mutes - they'll just create a new account and start again. It's not like they're putting any effort into their blog, so it doesn't really matter to them.

I wonder if those bad things people do every catch up with them, karma they call it.

I believe that they won't ever be happy. Doing bad things, no matter how much we justify it, causes a conflict with our values subconsciously. That constant conflict prevents us from happiness. Something like that. I have to write down the whole theory one day.

Yeah, true but it matters to me, I hate cheats and scammers and so I take action where I can.

I also don't value those who see wrongs and yet do nothing.

Rightly so. One has to up for one's values and defend them, especially when it comes to behavior that harms the community. And if civilized discussion is not possible (or wanted by the other), actions have to be taken.
