... "I used to wonder, What do you mean? We shouldn't be kind to others? How can there be no 'shoulds' in life?"
This is why I listen to Prager virtually every day. There are precious few people left who will stand up for right and wrong and be heard. Sure, people like me will stand up for right and wrong, but who hears us?
I have a friend who is very conscious of what right and wrong are. (Or rather, he was, until he met one of the worst bitches on the planet, and, desperate to have a chick on his arm regardless of what a piece of crap she was, he threw everything he stood for in the garbage, but that's a different story.) But a higher value for him is "being liked by everybody". So, rather than risk offending someone by saying "this is right, that is wrong", he holds his tongue, goes along to get along, and watches the people around him behave like pure shits.
This poor, dumb friend is free to consider this idiocy as a virtue if he must. But he does not have any business looking down his nose at others who thing there are some things that are worth getting into some conflict over. And "being liked by others" is a pretty poor value to have at the top of your priority list. For this fellow, fighting for right and wrong USED to be at the top of that list. Come to think of it, he recently adopted his childhood hero, Iron Man, as his role model.
Yes, being "liked by everyone" is so important. Someone needs to tell him what those people say about him behind his back.
Brandon, Iron Man fights for right and wrong. Do you think he holds "being liked by everyone" as his highest value? If believe that, maybe you should try to convince Princess Faith to start behaving like something other than human garbage, and be just a tad more likable.
