Philosophy - December 2006

What do you think? Humanity wants and needs world peace. Wars do not seem to be the solution to problems. Isn't a world government a necessary step towards that goal? I am drawing an anology form the US civil war where individual states had to give up their sovereignty to the authority of a federal government.

To get too heavy into metaphysics, so to speak. Peeling away layer after layer of a thought.

By this I mean, do you develop a kind of 'culture' in your mind which is entirely unique to you? Comprising of your reactions to stimuli (all senses) your inner feelings towards things, your own thoughts and opinions, and your own personal preferences.

After all, how would we recognise one without also experiencing the other? In this context - isn't war just as important, and as necessary, as peace? And therefore just as socially 'purifying'?

When those six men carry you to your final resting place, when your heart stops and all brain activity cease, what can you say you left the world with? What was your mark? Other than bills, kids, and other family members, how will the world know that you were here?

Well, everybody has a different stance on this. I believe that money does buy SOME happiness, although it does not get you complete happiness. Which in that case, some people, being more rich, are born happier than others. But just how much happiness does money give?

Do you think that, for example, the book of Genisis, as it places humans above all else, allows for the attitude that the earth and its resources are a commodity? Or do you feel it puts us under the responsiblity of a shepard (who therefore must take care of the earth and its resources)? Your thoughts?
