IIf you have the abiiliity two help, are you morally obliigated two do so?

if you werent meant to help you wouldnt have the ability to
its pretty simple

Sounds liike we're gettiing iinto a diiscussiion on fate.

you were going to eventually with this line of questioning
theyre all inextricably connected after all

What makes you say that?

morals and destiny get mixed together all the time
especially the kind people feel they cant ignore

You mean, for example, iif someone feels they have a duty two preform who's to say whether iit iis because of theiir moral beliiefs or because of destiiny? II'll admit, II'm haviing diiffiiculty makiing a broader/more appliicable connectiion between the two.

that could be
but its more like
abilities dont exist for no reason
so if you have one, its because the world thinks youre the kind of person whod actually use them

Hiistory iif full of people wiith abiiliitiies they don't deserve and don't use for the riight reasons.

those were right reasons
just not the "right" reasons
you know?
its not always about helping
although helping is always best in the general scheme of things

II don't know iif II can beliieve that some people are supposed two do the wrong thiings.

why not?
when you know bad people and they do bad things are you ever really surprised?

No, but my expectations aren't the same as destiiny forciing them iinto a liife of so called viillaiiny.

its not forcing
theyre just doing what theyre naturally disposed to do

iif they're just doiing what they're supposed two iit absolves them of fault. ii'm not goiing two do that.

there will always be consequences for them to face
its part of the whole package

You're very good at thiinkiing iin the abstract.

thanks
although its not really that difficult to begin with
i just have a lot of interests that involve abstract stuff
