My name's Justin, and I'm a Buddhist. I take bits from Hindu, and Taoist philosophy as well though. I blog about religion, politics, philosophy, and whatever else I feel like blogging about. I've grown a lot over the years, but I'm still far from where I want to be. If you have any questions then ask away! Don't be shy.

As much as I hate to admit it.
No one really has any rights that they are entitled to.
Rights are just an invention, a concept, a way to keep order and put one group of things above another group.
All we did was make rights up like the idea of Santa.
Even if we did have rights then where they come from?
There is no real answer.
It’s a very cute idea, but in reality they’re just privileges to be taken away at a snap of a finger.

You did not come into this world, you came out of it. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.
