Think about this- if the Civil War in the U.S. was won by the confederates, it's very possible that slavery would still be acceptable today. However, that is not the case, and we know better. If the Nazis managed to take over the world, and you and I were born Aryian, we would see no problem with burning minorities who were unlike us. Other things to think about, Prohibition? Was repealing that a good or bad decision? Is who/whatever decides is socially acceptable really something we can trust to set our morals and standards?

Sometimes, I feel like I'm going insane. Online forums and chat rooms are way too impersonal. How does one cope/function with this problem? It makes me want to withdrawal from social interactions even more. Everyone I've encountered has either looked at me funny or is unable to grasp complex concepts. AAAAARRGGGHHH!

"Cogito, ergo sum"—I think therefore I am...Descartes believed that he could not trust his senses to portray reality, but rather he could only use his mind, and ideas which stemmed from the mind (like math) to prove reality...does the logic behind this really hold up? Does anyone have any ideas as to how to disprove this famous theorem?

just some food for thought...

Has it made you stronger, or broken something in you?

After that, do you expect things to get better (it's all uphill from here), or do you expect things to continue to go badly for you?

Do you expect to go on?

Do you expect good things to happen, or plan for disaster? Do you hedge your bets, just in case?

Why?

Step by carefully-planned step to achieve your goals, or moment to moment, as it happens?

Why do you live this way? Advantages? Drawbacks?

i prefer something different, not the usual. Also, it would be good if it is on oriental philosophy

Does anyone else ever feel that way? I feel like riding a unicyclethe in rain while belting out eternal eclipse of the heart on the wrong side of the road. Either that or something exclusively crazy or surrealistic.
