Philosophy - September 2006

When an apple drops from the tree, it gets bored of falling, so it stops.
What exists beyond the border line of its final destination is the question mark in the apples path of travel.

Freewill states that we have a choice, but aren't we just reacting based off the personalities we've developed thus far?

Origin of this world?
Absolute Zero (Dimensionless) or Infinity (eternal, formless) State of energy or matter is the origin of this world. It is a state of matrix or energy, which is beyond our imagination. Our mind or intellects can only understand the language of science (length, breadth, height, time, space) or language of discrimination (positive and negative, love and hate, pleasure and pain, and the many conceptual pairs of opposites, through the duality of subject and its object). The state of Oneness and nothingness (Absolute Zero or infinity) is beyond our logic.

The very basic concept is, we cannot differentiate, distinguish and discriminate between matter and energy. Matter itself is a manifestation of energy. There is not a single particle in this universe, which is without energy and contains only matter. Energy has its basic two forms i.e. inactive (vacuum, passive) and active.

When Energy is at its inactive form it is at absolute Zero state and when comes to active form, it gets manifested into five basic elements (Agni, Vaayu, Jala, Akash and Pruthvi) of universe and then with the help of these elements whole world gets visible to our logic mind. With the help of our five senses, which are the representatives of the basic elements of the universe, we can able to see, feel, taste, smell and hear the physical world. If our senses stops working than whole universe will gets back to its Absolute zero state.

This is what is happening in Meta physics.
First Scientists said when they had come to the atom, ”Now this is the ultimate; it cannot be divided any more.” Then they also divided the atom. Then they came to electrons: ”Now it cannot be divided any more.” Now they have divided that too. Now they have come to nothingness (Absolute zero), now they don’t know what has come. Division, division, division, and a point have come in modern physics where matter has completely disappeared. Modern physics has reached via matter, and the Vedas have reached to the same point via consciousness.

There are people who think it is always wrong for life to be taken, that violence is always wrong regardless of the circumstances. these fluffy ideals are all nice and good, But what if in refusing to kill someone, you are indirectly condemning others to death? Murderers sentenced to life in prison escape and kill those that put them away for revenge. Hostage-takers pop a few hostages to get their point across while the politically correct, PR-obsessed locals try to 'negotiate' with the guy and refuse to snipe him when they have a clear shot. Pacifists attempt to appease Nazi Germany as it ravages across Europe, murdering countless millions of innocent people. Western isolationists do nothing as genocide sweeps through Rwanda.

I am here to tell you pacifists that your philosophy is ineffective, weak, cowardly, hopelessly naive, hypocritical and above all else murders. The problem with pacifism is that it believes in the goodness of man. The goodness of mankind does not exist.

ok, someone told me to post some of my dreams so this is one of them:
me and a friend go to school, the school is in a trailer for some reason, and we're late for the 7th time. we get to school and our teacher turns into a monster. Everyone else escapes through a few open windows, since the door is locked, and me and my friend ram through the door. As we're running up this hill of rocks, the thing grabs my ankle but my friend hits it with rocks until it lets go. Then we run through this forest, trying to lose it, and as soon as we come out of it, the monster attacks us again. But right as it was about to hit me, a guy from behind slices it in half. the monster-acutally, come to think of it, i think it was a demon-anyway, it dies and we thank the guy and he leaves. Then the scene switches to me and my friend standing on a beach at sunset with a wooden coffin next to us with the demon inside it. Thats when i woke, that was the end of the dream. only once did i ever finish it.

Though I've made some exceptions (probably), I've tended to believe that if I am asking for opinions about a matter that is philosophical that it is more appropriate for me to let the people choose the Best Answerr over my bias choosing it. However, sometimes, most often not, the people don't choose, but a few persons do. Nevertheless, I would prefer to not choose best answers to such questions.

So, am I being a fool; commendable; or what?

is someone who joins the army knowing they will have to kill who they r ordered to my their masters a sadist. To knowing join the army knowing that u have to kill unqestionally at your masters orders does this indicate that the person just wants an excuse to kill ie he is a sadist who hides behind the army to comit killing. I mean if someone did not believe in killing but had to kill unqestionably at his masters oders it would cause psychologcal problems -so such a person would not join an army knowing he had to kill . Would only a person who did not mind killing and perhaps liked the oppurtunity to kill ie a sadist join an army. Because a person who did not like killing would surely not join an army. It is no good saying but a soldier is killing for his country because if a peson did not believe or like killing could not put themselves in such a sistuation in the first place. Ony;l people who dont mind killing would do that

is a solder a moral coward when though he dissagrees with kiling a person he still kills them becuase it is his duty. Is he showing physical courage but lack of moral courage. Or is he both a moral coward and physical coward because he fears the physical consequences of saying no
