I didn't really feel like posting today, but I've made an obligation to myself to write a little something every day I have time. I've always wanted to be a writer, but I've not the discipline that keeps a writer in practice. Maybe that will change if I force it. I am dreadfully lacking in the oft-revered Protestant Work Ethic. This is primarily because I find work so disagreeable. It's not that I'm caught up in a frantic pursuit of pleasure, or that I'm scared of work. Simply I find work disagreeable and thus I avoid it instinctually.
I believe that if I write a great deal I will uncover what exactly I want to say. It will then not be a matter of deciding what I want to write about, but a matter of observing what I in fact do write about. Then I can go about my business knowing better my interests. This sounds like a good enough plan.
One thing I know offhand that I am interested in is the practice of slandering homosexuals, not because I practice it or condone it. I wonder why so many people feel comfortable doing it. To degrade and ostracize homosexuals is a far worse inhumanity and 'sin' than doing anything distinctly homosexual. It is a disgusting thing to pesecute anyone for their personal lives. You may say that persecution is justified at least some of the time and I say you are wrong. And if we are both to act on our beliefs, right or wrong, you will be the one that has spread cruelty and I will be the one that minded his own business.
