Philosophy - October 2006

My indecisiveness is ruining my life, and I don't know where it's coming from. I've been this way my entire life, but lately it's worse and worse (I'm in my late 20s). I can't continue this way, but I don't know what to do. What is at the core of this?

People attempt to frame a thing they do not understand with words. They will seek truth. But the truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.

Beware of the truth. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and to believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then. Words are much easier to absorb than are the sharp Delphic stabs of wordless portent.

Thoughts?

What really happens after you end your life?

What happens after you're dead?

Have you ever been very eager to see what the afterlife is like?

Have you ever thought about ending your life in a car accident?

When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.

True?

To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.

Is this true?

Are you purely what you do? e.g.) doctor, lawyer, pimp. Are you purely a collection of atoms combined with a particular combination of potential and kenetic energy? Are you merely a bald monkey with high speed fiberoptic cable? Are you just a lighthouse revealing the shores of the character of your friends and they with you? Are you part of the problem or the solution? THEN watch this 4 minute video and contribute to the world with your response. Good Luck!

even the most seemingly altruistic act can give the giver some kickbacks--feel good about yourself, for example? is it possible for someone to be entirely altruistic? Ghandi? Mother Teresa?
