"Otherwise, we're all doomed to "subjective relativity" from wholly subjective relatives. Not good."
You know what? I'm not gonna go along to get along with these so-called "ethicists". Not long ago, I just changed my drivers' license address and they asked me if I were an organ donor. I surprised myself and said, "no".
Asking myself why, I concluded that somewhere in this life, we have to be allowed to be ourselves, without undue guilt, and learn that not all of life includes reciprocity. I mean, modern science is great, but it doesn't mean anyone should be made to feel guilty if they "go along" with this increasingly socialistic idea that every frickin' thing I have should be offered up to someone else if they need it more than I do. I may even change my mind some day. But I choose not to at this time. Tough.
I may be the recipient of an organ donor's generosity, one day. I don't know if I'll allow it or not. But, I do know I'm a recipient--every day-- of things I can never repay. It makes me more grateful than you can imagine.
I'd rather live with gratitude than guilt. And I'd like the courtesy of living until I die. I'm going with that "rage, rage, against the dying of the light" thing.
