Aaron Ach wrote a post on his blog called Inconvenient Truth: Hardwiring of Our Brains. He made the claim that although we don't want to admit it, everything is predetermined. Our life's path is set out when we are born, and although we may stray from it, we end up going the way we're supposed to go to the destination that was decided for us. In response, I wrote:
I only somewhat agree with this post. I do believe that some aspects of our lives are created by fate or nature or whatever you want to call it, but not all. There are many things we have control over. I believe that this "road" we're put on brings us to intersections, but allows us the choice of which direction we want to go and continues from there. There's no one path we are meant to take, but there are decisions we are meant to make. Our destination isn't determined until we get there.
Kira Bolos wrote a post called 360 Degrees: Gay Marriage. Although she believed that gay marriage should be legal, she tried looking at other point of views. In the end, she still believed that gay marriage should be legalized. In response to her post, I wrote:
Personally, I share Kira's point of view on this topic. I don't understand what makes a straight man or woman different from a gay man or woman other than their sexual preferences. They're still a human being, they still have feelings, and I'm sure many of them dream of having a wedding. But they can't. Because our society won't accept them. I like to ask, "If two gay men were to be married, how would that effect you in any way?" There's really no way that the person against gay marriage would be badly effected by their marriage. Maybe they'd be offended, but most people are offended almost every day; you see a picture or hear something that's offensive, but that doesn't mean you outlaw it. I believe gay marriage should be legal.
