Philosophy - January 2007

A man of principle is rewarded only with more principles to uphold.

It would explain why selfless actions invariably are not rewarded with selfish results.

Try as I may, I just can't grasp that the life of Jesus embodied the principle of Christian hedonism, the essential conflict (in my mind) being the motivation for Jesus' actions. My interpretation is that His actions were motivated by His love for mankind (and obedience to the Father), and that while he certainly did delight in fellowship with God, that self-pleasure was not his primary motive.

Agree? Disagree?

When I drive the person in front of me controls my speed. When I ride the train my ability to exit my seat is controlled by the person sitting next to me. The police follow me around harassing me, they control me. The courts take my money, they control me. I am very frustrated. Is anyone else going through this? Do you feel that far too many aspects of your life are out of your control? How do you deal with it?

We study hard to get the best jobs, we work hard to earn much money and sometimes this implies sacrifices, or seperation from people we love or things we'd really like but can't help us make a living.And we all know we're going to die.Is all this worth it?

On TV the colts coach thanked the Lord for his teams win. I venture to say that within one mile of this game there was a child being abused, a person was dying of cancer, a crime victim being hurt. I'm sure many of these people were asking the Lord for help but help did not come because the Lord was at the ball game and was too busy to help them.

I have noticed that some reasonable research is reguired to gve an answer. We are not here to confuse anyone. We are to answer logic as it ought to be answered with the requisite reasoning. Points are a credit to ourselves.

Ben Franklin had a long list of things for checking oneself before someone else called attention to his faults. When I began looking in to this, a shorter list was given to me and thus this search continues for a practical way for application: jealousy, anger, resentment, greed, egotism, arrogance, discontent, complaining. Anyone have something other than "theory" and is based on your actual application?

Mine was so horrifying. I survived a terrorist attack on our office building in 2004, Three of my officemates got killed, among a total of 22. A terrorist's gun was pointed on my head but it misfired. It took several months for me to recover from trauma. I keep on believing that if it is not my time, it is not my time.

This is the Cogito of Descartes the philosopher "Cogito cogito, ergo cogito sum"
It is about conscious. How do you analyze it?
Note that this is a philosophical question, feel free to elaborate using simple words please.

I think a person`s ability to think shows his existence, with a condition, this thinking should be CONSCIOUS.
