Taboo for you

Hey guys. Long time no post. I’ve taken a break from writing for awhile as I’m focusing on my music and other endeavours, but, I decided to drop a line inspired by a recent philosophy assignment I was given.

Taboo is an online quiz game that reads into your moral ethics. It’s a little “out-there” for some people, but, it really gives you a look into your mind that you might not have gotten otherwise. The game isn’t too long and it’s a lot of fun so I suggest you check it out : http://www.philosophersnet.com/games/taboo.php

For the game, I took in my friend Ryan to play and get a look at HIS answers. I was actually surprised by some of his responses.

NOTE THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS TO THE QUESTIONS. DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT THE QUESTIONS TO BE A SURPRISE!

At the start of the game, Ryan answered one of the questions by saying he agreed with the fact that if an action undertaken by a person is completely private and causes no harm to the person then there is no reason why it should be deemed morally wrong. As we started the game, this proved to be true to him. The question regarding the brother and sister having sexual intercourse was fine with him. He mentioned that since they both seemed to benefit, no one was hurt and no one knew about it that the actions taken by them were in fact fine. However, the following question about the man having sexual intercourse with a frozen, dead chicken was extremely wrong to him and he even believed that people who did this should be punished. I suggested to him that I found it strange that he decided incest was okay but sex with a non-living animal was not. He seemed to review his answer in his head briefly, perhaps thinking “yeah, that is strange. Since I would usually think incest to be wrong in all accounts” but, he stuck with his idea that the action was “necrophilia and bestiality!”

I’ve always thought Ryan to be very morally mind-set. I knew he would have strong opinions coming into the game but, I was still very surprised that he found things I thought were the most offensive to be the least offensive. I agree with the analysis at the end, that it wasn’t clear what his moral mind-set was because he believed that actions that were safe and private were okay but certain actions, though stated as such, were wrong.

Overall, a very interesting experience I would love to try with more friends and perhaps some family.

If You'd Comply -- new song

http://chivalryonapostcard.tumblr.com have a listen

When I pass you my heart
It still jumps like
A postal worker
Who just got cut and

When I think of you all
That I can hear is
AM 180
Ringing in my ears

[chorus]
I still owe you
Ray bans, I would love just
One dance
If you'd comply [x2]

I diddle my thumbs and
Pretend 1 is yours, I
I hear your voice
Every time the rain pours

What's happening? I
Still ask myself as
I sit where we sat
Between the book shelves

[Chorus]

When I think of you all
That I can hear is
AM 180
Ringing inside my ears

Executive decision

I have decided I am going to take a break from writing.
Maybe for a long time,
maybe for a short time.
I am incredibly tired of myself and my words,
my ideas and my inspiration.
My goal in life, for a long time, has been to
write something truly beautiful.

I really don't think I'm capable of such a thing.
I don't think I am capable of many things.
Most of all that.
Well, not most of all.
But certainly in the top 3.

I'll write you when I get back.
If I ever do anyways.

Fond but not permanent fair well,

Liv

NEW SONG -- The Earth

you’re like a cosmic collision
shooting through space and arousing my vision
something that I would love to behold as
my own

you’re like a fresh summer solstice
warming the breeze, using earth as your hostess
something that I would love to behold as
my own

[chorus]
you must be the earth
either that or I'm the tiniest girl
anyways
i think you're the best
the only one who puts my heart to
rest

you’re like a towering tree
lending your shade to watch over me
something that I would love to behold as
my own

you’re like a love lullaby
smiling and crying all at the same time
something that I would love to behold as
my own


[chorus x2]

(500)

I watched Mark Webb's (500) days of summer last night.
I don't know what to believe anymore.

I love that feeling.

My connection within

I am a ancient bridge.
Breaking into my purest bricks I finally see my connection within passing.

I am an aging starlet.
Stiff from needles and knives I finally see my connection within fame.

I am rickety ladder.
Wobbly with weight and work I finally see my connection within the sky.

I am a rotting tree.
Decaying, layered with this forests moss I finally see my connection within the earth.

I am a sunken ship.
Lost inside an angry ocean I finally see my connection within the sea.

I am a far away land.
Past the world and all its wonders I finally see my connection within distance.

I am a neutron star.
Collapsing into myself I finally see my connection within darkness.

To fall.
