- I strongly beleive in Utilitarianism. I feel that whatever does the greatest good for the greatest number of people is the correct thing to do. However, that does require a definition of what good actually is.
- What I define as good is what I personally think is the right thing to do. I can think about all the variables, whether good is actually good, or if the result is what other people feel is good but in the end, I can only do what I feel is good.
- This means that I don't live life with a scientific approach (by looking at all the evidence and coming out with a conclusion of what I should do). I live most of my life based on my own personal feelings and judgements, thinking with my heart and not my head.
- Aesthetic Beliefs
- I feel that the quality of originality is more important than the context of that originality. For example, if something is groundbreaking for it's time but is unattractive to look at, listen to or read and something which isn't that groundbreaking but is still original and pleasent to look at, listen to or read, then I feel that the latter is the greater work.
- It is impossible to say for definite whether a peice of art is greater than the other. Art is subjective, not scientific. What is a masterpeice to some, is a peice of garbage to others.
