Philosophy - August 2006

What I mean that people do not agree on something as a fact except death (The fact that we will die someday). For example: God's existence, true love, life after death etc. are all things that people have various points of view about , but that seems inapplicable with death,so back to my question, is this statment true or false?

Heav'n but the vision of fulfill'd Desire,
And Hell the shadow of a soul on fire
Cast on the darkness into which ourselves
So late emerg'd from, shall so soon expire .
---------------------------how about this ?
Why , if the soul can fling the dust aside,
And naked on the air of Heaven ride ,
Were't not a shame-were'it not a shame for him
In this clay carcass crippled to abide ?

why try so hard to suceed in life if it's all forgotten when you die?
only importent people are rememberd in history books and what not, but people like you and me will die and our name will be barried with us. so i don't understand why so much is expected from us and why we try so hard.

Americans and the Japanese work significantly more than other cultures. Yes, our countries have more rich people but no real social healthcare, higher than average suicide rates, and so on, and the biggest prison populations.

Personally, I believe that humans cannot see angels, and that we can only see them if they choose to take a physical form. The reason as to why we cannot see them is because, according to the book of Genesis and other sources, such as the Forgotten Books of Eden, we are lower than angels, who are holy messengers and servants of God. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command, we lost our holy and most-high stature, and thus our eyes were "opened." In a way, I believe that our eyes were opened to the physical aspect of the world and closed to the metaphysical and spiritual aspect of the world, thus preventing us from seeing angels and other heavenly beings.

So... if you would have these options: either love everyone and everything or hate everyone and everything for all your life, which would you choose and why? Please explain, also state pros and cons.

we really DO see things only at "surface value"?

a doctor will alter sex organs, because they believe the person when they say they felt they have always been the opposite sex, but if a person were to come in and said they've always felt like an amputee, a doctor isn't (as?) willing to remove their limbs and fulfill their wishes?

It seems like it would be the same type of issue to me, as far as ethics go.

Do you take it as a real science, which helps you to understand the world's history and nature and which ought to be studied; or do you think it's smth that doesn't even exist (artificial science), just plenty of different useless thoughts&views? On the whole, are you interested in it?
