Bounty hunter is hired to take Native American girl back to her home tribe in Utah. Along the way he talks to her about his life story. At the end he gives his life to save hers from a bank robber gang. The story of his life is about how he never felt a reason to care about others after his brother was wrongly sent to prison. So he see nothing wrong in killing for pay. But its not until he understands the girls love for her missing mother that he seeks redemption.

I posit the following: many members of society are selfish individuals that only care about themselves and do not concern themselves with others.

Question: Are humans inherently selfish and self-interested, or is the prevalence of selfishness in our society a product of our society?

>Should one take the literature and philosophy of those who do not maintain their bodies seriously?
Yes, but approach skeptically. Their work is shaped by their unsuitability to human nature.

Yes.

underrated

When a world lacks meaning and the human condition hungers for nothing but meaning, it is difficult to truly express the difficulty of continuing existence. Even attempting to justify it is attempting to give life meaning. What good will the good I do be? Was I ever truly loved? Does wading through an office job count as living? Does spending countless nights in the library researching count as time well spent? Does dimming the mind every night alone or with others seem like a good use of life? The answers to all these I cannot know until I make the leap myself.

Goodbye is too good a word babe, so I’ll just say fair the well.

Autists gonna be what they are. Only thing that happened is they gained an unwarranted sense of self importance and lost whatever sense of humor they ever had.
