Do you think that your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness ?

I know it鈥檚 Bach. He was new when I was. I didn鈥檛 understand it then and I don鈥檛 now.

I loved Jonathan Livingston Seagull though. It was so soft and stoned-ish. Not acid-y at all.

@Mamapolo2016 I was wondering who would recognise it. I should have known you would.
Yes, his books were like stepping stones for me on a mental journey.
JLS was a splendid story wasn't it ?

@Wraithorn It had a very pretty cover, too. Gray with a silver seagull. Or maybe vice versa.

Depends on the situation. My conscience likes to improvise.
Wraithorn51-55, M
@SW-User Fair enough.

What does that mean?
Wraithorn51-55, M
@Mamapolo2016 To me it means something like this :
If I see something I like but taking it would be theft, then to what extent would my conscience go to remind me of the suffering that theft would cause to someone else ?
Mamapolo2016F
@Wraithorn I can鈥檛 make it mean that - maybe with some effort.

Truth of life is that those who steal rarely much care about the suffering of their victim. Or their conscience.

Foggy prose was popular, admired, even revered in the 70s.

@EmilyEdith Ok, I'll give you the easy answer. It is ,"yes". 馃檪
Um, what ? 馃樀
@bijouxbroussard Is my sense of right and wrong based upon what I perceive as [b]my[/b] needs ? Probably so.
Wraithorn51-55, M
@bijouxbroussard I think it does mean something like that.
