Philosophy - January 2007

With the world as it is today (in all respects i.e. socially, internationally, security wise), what is the most dangerous question that can be asked and why.

Serious answers only please, I thank you in advance.

What happened to the trees? Fresh water? Why do live in fantasy and ignore our primary emotions? Ignore our natural sleeping paterns? Have the influence of the industrial revolution foged our minds? What happen to living with nature's season, spring, summer and fall? Winter was break. What happened to our natural sleep? Why are we so stressed everyday? Why does society have so many mental health problems, social problems, and split families? Do we need to back track to the way and rediscover the values we lived before this cusumer non-sense & fantasy, in order for a good future?

As a Native Canadian, I live in a modern world, as every one dose now (north american continent). I have notice we as common humans are stressed. I have spoken with many people and have notice the plants, trees, and drinking waters. We are of proud heritages and I am myself of mixed heritages. What happen to the life we knew? How can I teach my children true values? and the generations they will create?

How sad, for ME at least and for most of you, I'm sure, that our best option is to question and answer faceless strangers from around the world instead of having honest to God decent company in the flesh with us to relate to?
I think it's pathetic, and if any one of you reports this question as "ABUSE" then I tell you you are a frickin' Nazi and have no interest in freedom of speech and freedom to question, Mr./Ms. Nazi.

Sometimes I have such anxiety like I don't even want to bring kids into the world because of all the hurt, hatred and disease there is. People drive like animals and there is no common courtsey in public places anymore. Am I just seeing the world differently, or has it really changed?

So, I do believe that God knows we are going to be privy to making choices. I believe He even knows all the different paths we CAN take. My question is this: "Does he KNOW what the results of those options will be...does he know what we will choose?"

If so, does that mean we actually have a choice at all, or is it pre-determined for us?

The argument runs like this: for anything that you see as imperfect, there is necessarily a proportion of perfection in it, so that a true perfection has to exist, otherwise there would be no way to imagine or reason about it.

Example: Take a keyboard, if it is broken, it is imperfect, so the perfect model would be a working one. But consider a working keyboard, it could always be better, for instance, wireless with silent buttons, or a keyboard that helps you type faster, so does that mean that there is a "perfect" model of a keyboard, or just that there is always a "better" model?

What about the universe? Is the universe perfect? Considering that it existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time, is there anything it can not do, considering the universe can be cosmic or quantum, including billions of galaxies, or minute fabrications of complex energies. Is this model "perfect" or does it just continuously get "better?"
