I am not talking about magick which i do not believe in, but can the words we speak as, adults, children, teens, actually shape our future? If so, how?

A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

This is the definition of love, I got off of dictionary.com.
Do you think this explain what love really is, or does love go deeper, into the heart?

I would like you to share your opinions with me. Thanks!

I just got dome reading it and it is very compelling and truthful but what I am wondering about is if Socrates is so down to earth and humble why did he say that he was God's gift to the people? And if he was not scared of death and did believe that he did nothing wrong why did he propose a fine that his friends would pay off for him? Im sorry if it is an ignorant question but I am new to philosophy and feel that the only way to know something is to ask questions. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Let's say there are two guys. One needs to eat 2.5 kg of food per day.
Another guy needs 1 kg food only.
Now, let's consider a law which dictates absolute equality. And it implies--both of them will either be provided with 2.5 kg food or 1 kg food. What will happen? For the former case the second guy will have excess--and probably either the food will be wasted or the second guy will have the privilege to use it for the future--while the first guy won't have that privilege. For the later case, the first guy will starve.

This is a very serious and interesting question for people who love to think.So, ake your time to read it. I posted the same question yesterday--but I am elaborating this in the new post.



Let's make a consistent assumption or hypothesis:
"Every event in space-time is unique." That means every incident
in past,present and future can have only single value not multiple values. This seems quite obvious because-"tomorrow just at 12:31 pm at the crossing of Tago Street and Mando Steet a car with number NY786654 will pass through" this is an unique event(although we don't know it until it happens--this is another assumption but we agree that an unique event will happen in some future space-time with or without predestination). Although, multiple values can be assigned to a future event
but that implies probability and our ignorance about the future(our ignorance about the future is actually also an assumption which seems obvious).
Also, let's make another hypothesis:
"Every event is connected by cause and effect."
Now, let's say that somebody knows what will happen in some particular future. Now, he decides to change that event. What will happen? According to the second hypothesis--he will either forget
his decision or some unknown force will prevent him to change the event[1].
Now, think of a particular situation-- The person
saw the future of a piece of paper in snap-shot(He saw that piece of paper on the top of a table in the house of one of his friend in a party at 11:45 am and 12:45 am Monday September 29 2006 in NY city).
So, he arrived at the party before 11:45 am and the moment(11:45 am) he saw the piece of paper--he challenged the people in the party to burn that piece of paper within 30 minutes(that is before 12:45 am).
What will happen if the above two HYPOTHESES holds??

I was just thinking that those who say that they do not believe in God may be people of great faith in a sort of different way. They usually ask those who say the do believe to show proof. However would it not be equally valid for those who belive to ask those who who do not believe for proof of non-existance? As no proof on non-existance can be provided, I think we may safely conclude that those who do not belive have faith in the non existance of God. In other word they are guilty of the same short coming they attach to believers. They are affirming something not as a scientific fact, but as a matter of pure faith.
