It all comes down to a few things. The base is desire. then perception, followed by justification and acceptence. Before any given action, there exists a desire, and this desire is shaped by how the person percieves things. Then they have to justify these actions to themselves, and maybe others. They must then also accept what they have done. Also, it is then decided as good or bad. basicly that's what it comes down to.
I'd like to post a sound clip of Bertrand Russell speaking shortly about desire, i find it interesting. i'll also touch on the MEANING od life itself here soon, i'm rather tired right now, so i think this will be all i have to say for awhile. though you should see how i connect this ideal with most other beliefs i will present.

as i said, time is simply a measure. time is not a force that causes these events to happen. Birth occurs as a result of desire, a couple desires to have sex, or desires a child. Death ocurs, not due to time, but use. The use of our organs, our bodies. Time is not a force that widles away at a person, events that take place IN time, whcih is a measurement, effect things. And i never stated i was basing my entire argument of of that quote. Also, i never suggested that my ideas were anything more than theory. now then, let us continue this debate
