Carrying on from my last entry on moral motivation; mostly the bit saying “there’s often an opposition between self-interest and morality” I am ready to confess that I’ve failed in completing a few important Firsts. While I KNOW that smoking is a direct, no stop-over, flight to a disgusting, pitiful death, interest and desire have dominated my moral logic. I'm sitting in first class nicotine addiction - unmotivated (just yet) to get on that damn moral highway.
Secondly, at the beginning of January, I set out to be booze-free for 30 days and failed at that too. HA! Really though, I’m not feeling disappointed about this one. In fact, I feel pretty comforted in being able to say; “Oops, overshot that one, no biggie”. Sometimes the things we harshly label as failures; were just unreasonable expectations.
It's all about having a good balance of Deviance and Devotion.
