to err

Early this morning, (real early, like 3am)

i was feeling beat up

after the realisation of being used as a means

to some end known as entertainment

a joke perhaps, a seemingly "innocent" laugh

And then after waking up later

i recalled GP lessons - discussions about philosophy

The Kantian Imperative in particular

This is what the Kantian Imperative says:

Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law

in English: Do unto others what you would deem others appropriate to do

for example: consider littering. Yes, it would be convenient for one to rid of one's rubbish. But would it be OKAY (universal law) if everyone else did it? If your answer to that is NO, don't do it.

So yeah, back to my rant

What he did was clearly. Human?

Natural instinct.

To make someone the butt of a joke (means) for one's own pleasure(end)

Without a semblance of concious thought

And I was angry for a whole ten minutes or so

The conclusion this morning?

To err is human

To forgive is divine.

And though i do not condone his actions

I don't want to bear grudges

For what good would it do to get beat up over someone who doesn't mean a thing

I forgive.
