Who decides the greater
good? Who is to say this is better than
that for everyone? How is that even
possible? One person’s judgement is
developed over time, based on their experience in life, their knowledge and
understanding of everything they see, touch and hear, consequently every person
has had a different experience at different times in their life. Different things affect and influence someone
in ways that may not be the same as the person standing right next to them
experiencing the same thing.
Take Larry, for example. Larry likes a frosty mug of cold beer, a soft warm, giant pretzel with a dab of yellow mustard. He enjoys live music from an Oom-pah-pa band
and large women.
Lucy’s taste seems to run away
from anyone with a mustard stain on their shirt.
Into the mix we add Cooter
Nelson, the Mayor of Anytown. He has a
massive ego, budget concerns and bald tires on his classic Studebaker. He has approved and issued the temporary license
for the Oom-pah-pa band to play in the town square, even though he knows a great
number of voters don’t really care for that kind of music. His feelings about mustard are not public
knowledge.
