Principles or stones

Today is kind of a sad day for me, and in a lot of ways it has to do with words. I like words and the thoughts they describe, I wish people would realize what they are, symbols for ideas. The problem is in education because they do not teach you to respect and analyze the symbol as defined. It is just like math, they really do not teach you to think about math, only working the steps of the problem, this is exactly backward, I suspect on purpose.

Today the word I'm having trouble with is “principle”, I'm not talking high school type as in “ principal “ the head man. I mean the idea of having a “principle” a thing that is fundamental or primary a basic law or truth. I have few real principles so those that I have, I must guard with the greatest of care, it would do no good to guard the principle if you are not going to use or stand by it. In some places for some men, their word of promise is a principle, you know them as “men of their word”, means you can count on their word to be true.

This principle that I'm having trouble with is “freedom”, there are many types, but the one that is of concern today, is that of “freedom of speech” or the right not to be censored or allow any form of censorship or restriction of ones opinion. I mean “God” placed us all here and gave everyone a unique soul, so should not all voices and ideas be allowed to be judged by all for their merit and value ? This is the principle truth behind the idea of free speech and expression the right to be heard and not censored or suppressed.

Now because of principle I will not be able to share with the few friends that I had come to know a little bit, some were good, some were very good, some were barely there, and others are not so “principled”, but to some degree they shall all be missed. Because of “principles” I must consider them gone. I can no longer click in the site even to read, because I would be supporting censorship, even relating the name of the group is not desirable I would not send anyone there not even the most hated enemy. If I continue with them in any manner I support the idea that censorship is OK.

There are really even bigger problems involved here. Because by continuing in anyway to support, click in, or speak of this control group , it allows them support through advertising or even user count, either by sign up or being a visitor, this will only encourage the wrong principle. Worse yet by realizing this and continuing to use the space, even to keep up with friends only allows that group with evil or no principles to gain power. Probably eventually supporting those with even less principles, who will soon take over this world construct. This is going to happen because of the lack of basic principles and there is nothing anyone can do about it, because we live in a world where most only pretend to have principles, the truth is when they should be used they are dropped like stones.

Like I said I will miss some of them and this can not be helped, I can only account for my freewill and principles. It is a sad thing to sometimes have to stand alone with your “principles” after all it is just a word or idea but that is the point, so is freedom of speech and not supporting those who think it is OK to censor. Funny thing is this is on such a petty level, but it is a reoccurring problem and in principle I should have stopped posting and using the space long before this day. I wonder what is more contagious “denial” or “group stupidity”. There are others that actually have gray matter, and this has not been a hidden kind of problem and yet is was encouraged and accepted. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

PRINCIPLES YOU EITHER HAVE THEM OR YOU DON'T...... I AM SORRY YOU DON'T
