If your interests change, then you never improve or own yourself.
You would sooner shift the goalposts than learn to score goals.
Even if you shift the goal, it's no guarantee that you'll ever score.
If it works in favor of what i currently believe in it helps
What do you believe?
Someone who doesn't know their own interests has no beliefs.
In reality, your beliefs are the governing dynamic of your interests.
I believe in bettering myself
Morality is to ethics as beliefs are to interests.
You don't know how to better yourself.
You lack conviction.
If i believe it helps me it does
Heroine addicts believe drugs help them.
And they do, in the moment it is achieving how they want to feel
But addicts let the drugs own them
Instead of owning the drugs
Just like you let ignorance own you.
You're ok with not knowing what you want.
That's all because you don't have what you need.
All i know is that i want to improve myself
Willfully.
What do i gain from recognizing it?
Improvement itself...accomplishment and inevitable evolution.
All of which stems from conviction.
Absolute morality.
God.
If i recognize an authority above me that i must abide to i lose ownership of myself
Morality is ownership of oneself.
Morality is a constraint
No, it is freedom.
You will do as you please without having a second thought.
You will never think of the "what" ever again.
Only the "why" and "how".
Imagine never hesitating.
That is the power of conviction.
The power of God.
As a human being, you are bound by one thing...judgement.
That judgement is by both oneself and by your peers.
Rather than deny your natural binding, you can turn your ball and chain into the greatest weapon ever wielded.
Nothing is greater.
