About Me

My photo
Sometimes I like to write about serious stuff, other times I enjoy making up stories and sometimes I just like to attempt to be funny. When I get organised, you will be able to click on a different blog for each of these scenarios. Eg. If you would like to laugh at my hilarious life observations you will click on ‘Mikgayla’ and be transported to a world of laughter…and if you want to get depressed, there will eventually be a button for that too. WOW. THE INTERNET IS AMAZING

HEY YOU! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! Who gets to decide what right and wrong?And would you choose life with warning labels?

Our concept of what is right and wrong may be founded on religion, or what our parents instilled in us as children, perhaps our own personal experience...and it can change, sometimes you think something is 'ethically' wrong but when it is happening to you, you are able to come up with an endless list of reasons why maybe-it's-not-so-wrong...ah the powers of hypocrisy....
When it comes to morals, I don't think everything is so black and white...there are the obvious big ones like rape and paedophilia... which I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of people will agree are wrong...if not, you probably belong in prison or are already there.
...but even murder, you know it's 'wrong' but then there are cases of self defence and extenuating circumstances and if you were on the jury you'd be like 'yeah she killed Kim Kardashian but have you ever heard Kim Kardashian talk? Let her go, she meant well, she did it for us'

...as if you don't want to kill her..just a little bit

USING RELIGION AS A CRUTCH TO BE AN ASSHOLE (but only the bits you like)

An obvious one that springs to mind is the whole church stance on homosexuality and how people chose to interpret the bible and pick out the bits that suit them. Whatever, you're a homophobe but don't pretend it's because of god.
I don't consider myself to be religious but I did go to a Catholic school and I have read enough of the bible to know that most people that bang on about god not wanting dudes to marry other dudes...well these same people don't do a lot of other things that God apparently wants them to do (remain abstinent until marriage haha YEAH RIGHT) and they do a lot of other stuff that they are told not to do in the bible (nice haircut pal).
Hey dickhead, if you're making the decision to be anti-homosexual, based on something you read in a really really really really old piece of literature then you don't get to ignore the other bits that don't suit you. Oh yeah you're all gospel until god cock-blocks you! When he's stopping you from doing something you want to do, then you decide some of his teachings are a little dated...but you'll hang on to the one that lets you hate gays.

I think there can be a lot of beauty in religion and the idea of something bigger but I think it's pretty silly the way that some people rip things apart and choose to only see the bits that work best for them



JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN FORCE OTHERS NOT TO DO IT

Smoking is vomit-worthy to me.
I talk about how it grosses me out all the time but what grosses me out more is the idea of living in a world where people don't have the freedom to chose what they can do to their own body.
If somebody is smoking in your face or in the face of a child, by all means tell them to stop, tell them you want to sit at a cafe and drink your chai without also swallowing down a serving of lung cancer today...but if somebody tells you they are going outside for a cigarette- How does that affect you? It's not your place to give them a lecture.
They have the little pictures on their cartons to show them the damage...there are so many other things in this world that are bad for us that we all take part in. Imagine if there were picture warnings on your chocolate ….or your alcohol?

“If you eat this every day....

.....you will end up with diabeties and looking like this:

"

(remember how I mentioned that google is no longer in 'safe search')
“If you drink more than 5 of these tonight...

..... you will be this girl...


"
You'd probably still do it anyway because the things that are bad for us are also a lot of fun....sometimes you have to be your pants to make an omelet...or something to that effect...
There are few people that go through life only doing the right thing...have you ever met somebody who only does the right thing? I've met a few who are on the border of being angelic and fucking hell, they are boring as shit.



THE BLURRY BITS, (being a hypocrite and getting over it when somebody does the wrong thing)


Cheating is wrong...unless it's with Ryan Gosling- Right?... We know there is some stuff we are not meant to do and sometimes knowing that we are not meant to do something makes it that much more fun... and sometimes it's a steaming pile of shit that you started dating a guy that you thought you were into but then you met his best friend and fell madly in love with him.
Logic tells you that there's millions of other guys you could be with but fuck logic, this one is amazing.
If my boyfriend dumped me for my best friend, I would kick them both in the genitals and wish them a lifetime of adult acne and unhappiness.
I would say “What the fuck? THERE'S MILLIONS OF GIRLS IN THE WORLD, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FUCK MY BESTFRIEND?”
Then I'd probably stay in bed for a week, listening to songs by Bic Runga on repeat(man that gal can sing heartbreak)...then I'd get over it ….because honestly, get over it. You don't have to be pals with either of them because it was a pretty shitty thing to do...still there is way sadder stuff in the world.If the two of them end up getting married, then it was meant to be, why let it upset you?...and if they break up HA SUCKED IN FUCKERS!

To me, anything that involves lying to somebody you care about feels like shit and is usually 'wrong' but I think feelings are hard to control and no matter how much you think you'd never date a married man or fall for your boyfriends best pal...yeah nobody wants to be 'that girl' but sometimes it isn't about choosing to be that girl. You can choose your actions, sure... but controlling your feelings is an all together different game....by the way I haven't banged a married man...yet..ROB LOWE I'M COMING FOR YA.
In the end. it's about weighing up what or who matters more to you and yeah people might get hurt if you are honest but I'd rather straight out have somebody tell me how they feel than sneak around behind my back, lie to me and insult my intelligence. You're still going to think your boyfriend is a prick if he says he wants to bang your pal but you'd hate him slightly less than if he told you that he'd already banged her...22 times... 21 times in your bed...and once in your kitchen...what the fuck dude? I eat there! Why are you telling me all this? ...yes honesty is the best policy...before the act....after ward, keep that to yo self.

How good would it be if people came with warnings?
I'm not so sure how well this all tied together, I think I've established that I may one day have an afair with a married man...but it's cool because I would tell you about it...and ah homophobia is gay...so is pushing your beliefs on people..hypocrisy? I know but I told you I'm aight with that...Hypocrisy is morally 'ok'...for me...not you...ah stealing? Meh...HEY GUYS! When I was googling pictures before to steal for my blog, I found this one about Matilda...How cute was she? What are you even doing reading my blogs? Just watch Matilda, she will teach you everything about life that you need to know
