"but the good eggs joyfully and willingly allow themselves to be cooked and eaten."
that got me thinking.
i hate the concept of innocents dying for something totally not worth dying for. most people do. that's why movies make so much money.
i'll try to explain it.
there are people out there who would give their life up for the thing they love. some would do it for a friend, some for their country, most for their family. but there are those who die for things that just aren't worth it. like with Hitler. he was NOT the best guy in the world. yet his people would get shot in his place a hundred times over and be proud because they've saved a national asshole from death.
back to the egg thing. it "joyfully and willingly allows itself to be eaten" by you. that's stupid. it doesn't owe you anything. why the hell should it die so you can eat it. i got worked up about this lastnight, then i remembered that eggs are inanimate objects. they're not chickens yet, and chickens would NEVER willingly let themselves be eaten.
i guess it's to do with what you value and how much you value it. if you value it enough, i guess it's worth dying for. [but i really can't understand how some people can be so NICE they'd die for something not worth it]. i guess i'm selfish for thinking this way.
but it's like this with God. He sent his son to die for a bunch of worthless people. we really aren't worth it at all [and you're deluded if you think you are]. He definitely didn't owe us anything [we owe Him]. but He loved us so much he laid down His life for us. do YOU love anything that much?
and the crunch is this. if God loves you enough to die for you, would you give your life for him too?

gosh. deep stuff about eggs. what do you think about embryonic stem cell research then? sacrificing thousands and thousands of 'lives' (not gonna debate about whether they are alive or not) in order to save millions and millions of lives. that's what the proponents of embryonic stem cell research say, but they're not the ones doing all the dying.
i've done way too much work about stem cell research for school. for three different classes. and it all boils down to a matter of opinion. don't get started on ethics cause that's a whole grey area.
the point was not the egg tho.
the cresbo vid of him whacking the ball into his head is up on youtube. i'll give you the add once i find it.
yes, it had his permission too. shock horror!
KIMMYTING GO WATCH THE VIDEO (LINK IS ON MY BLOG) LOL!!!!!!!!
About your views on people who die for things which just aren't worth it, you're not really qualified to judge and classify which are worthy and which aren't, now are you? I'm not dissing you; no one can and should make universal generalizations because everybody's got their own unique point of view. Heck for all we know, in the German Nazi's point of view, Hitler must've been the greatest guy around the block, totally worth being a martyr for.
Your train of thought on the good and bad eggs were interesting to read, albeit seemingly inspired by a totally random talk topic between child and parent.
fair enough.
everyone does have their own point of view.
that was mine.
