I've been pondering a thought all day. It hasn't gone too far. Mainly because I sincerely don't want it to go too far, yet.

All is fair in love and war. I keep pondering why all is fair. Is it really fair? I keep thinking it's not and the person who coined that phrase probably did something hideously reprehensible and came up with that one to assuage his guilt. Or maybe not.

So basically what it means is that you can be as shitty as you want as long as you win? Hmmmm.... that would explain a lot of behavior on a lot of people's parts. So does it mean that all is not fair in everything else besides love and war? There are rules to abide by except in just those two particular items? I seem to remember rules of warfare, like something in the Geneva Convention or something to that effect. Of course I am sure this little ditty has been around far longer than the Geneva Convention.

So morals and ethics be damned, full speed ahead. I'll stick to believing that karma will bite your ass if you don't play nice. I think I prefer morals and ethics over avarice. Otherwise I would be throwing hand grenades and not giving a damn who got hurt.

On the other hand, someone threw a hand grenade at me not all that long ago. I could toss it back if I wanted to.... I just don't want anyone innocent to be hurt, that keeps me from doing a lot of things I know how to do..... in love and war.

I'll ponder this more later.
