Just because and implications.

Impulse
Is it not an interesting thing, we have impulses. We want something... in an instant your mind goes from something to something else. Perhaps from abstract to lusting, in an instant. Bang.
Specifically where did "the impulse of want" ever come from anyways?
Seriously, when did we start wanting things that we don't have. When did people start being selfish?

Interesting that supposedly decent behavior is never dealing with this impulsive desire to gain.
In fact it normally is founded on an idea of putting others in front of you or making them more important then yourself.
Strange.

Another strange thing is this crazy fight within us, you know the shoulder angel and devil. I find it mostly crazy that these two things being; feelings, thoughts, desires, even knowledge, are in such conflict with each other. Really deep down it's this idea we have in ourselves of telling other people, by our deeds, that they are special and deserve good treatment, or that they are not important and deserve no special treatment from ourselves. Every day we are telling people whether they matter or not by our deeds. Really it boils down to this. If there were no other people, then being selfish and prideful wouldn't matter at all, those words wouldn't even exist. It only matters when we bring other people into the picture. That's why we always need to be in control of ourselves, and that includes our impulses.
