Philosophy - November 2006

Just pondering this one day. One may argue there must be an answer other than "It just does."

Sometimes I feel I'll become a manipulative social robot... But aren't we mere sophists, anyway?

If you think that it is worth pursuing, how do you suggest doing so? Right now, I'm working on my oratory skills, and my next step will be trying to understand humor more deeply.

Unfortunately, I'm also emotionally weak, so I'm trying to understand the stoic's philosophy. Have you got any suggestions?

Hi there

Sometimes when i am having a bad time over whatever, i quite often look into the sky at night and it just sums up everything. It puts a scale on things of just how important my life is.

What i am trying to say is no mater how big you think your problem is, its nothing on the grand scale of space time etc... and theres ALWAYS someone worser off!

You should try it.

I know this not strictly a question but i am interested in your views so please answer!

I know this is a deep question, but why do we have to die.

I mean I enjoy life and really don't want to think about leaving everything behind.

Does anyone else realize that what we define as normal in our culture is actualy not normal. think about it, the portrait of the perfect family or the perfect mate. not many things can live up to the standards that we place in our own minds. therefore the preception of normal is a rarity and the ab-normal has become the normal.

What are you thoughts?

This is a question open to many interpretations and I would like to hear stories of people conquering things or something that made you feel 10 feet tall no matter how small it may seem to you.

Lost 30lbs, learned a new language or stood your ground on something. Let me know.

Have you ever thought if there is anyone out there that is at the same point if their life as you, and they share the exact same points of view and emotions? In a sense it's scary, I don't want anyone to be like me, especially since I value my unique way of looking at things. In another sense it'd be comforting to know I'm not the only one to think this way.

Anybody up for a yahoo answers philosophy group, to choose a classic philosophical text together, and then read a certain amount a week (given busy schedules, we can make them short), then ask questions on answers discussing the text we read?

I was thinking maybe a Kant, Kierkagaard, or Wittgenstein? If there are any takers, I'll post a "what should we read" question.

Do you think it's possible? What are the issues? What can we do to actually get it?

Those who have money act like it is nothing. I would like to see how long they would last without their money. Personally I am tired of being poor. But I am not beautiful, smart or come from a good family. Only way I will ever have lots of money is if someone gives it to me.

I saw an old MASH show in which a N. Korean was killed as he was taking the boots of what he thought was a dead soldier. The Korean's feet was frostbitten and he was shot by his own weapon.
So I ask, What is a man's life worth? A Pair of boots or because my God beats you God or because you walk upon my land.
