Character is the human symbol of God's image, always appreciate it

Some people upon being critiqued on their character are heard to respond, "It's my life! I do with it whatever I want!" Well, point made. But upon cross-checking this statement, questions linger: Is it really your life? Can you really do with it whatever you want?

Such is the spirit of the whatever-wherever-however sub-culture. It is about making your own rules and breaking them at will. Make and break is the mastery. It is about moving with the flow. There are no steady guidelines. Rules are convenient. Even when spirituality is convenient, you will clap your hands and sing Halleluiah! But that does not mean that you will not take your spot at the club. Any rule that does not promote a thrill is frowned upon. Senses rule. Actions serve desire. The mind must not stand in the way of feelings - it is body over mind.
