Philosophy - January 2007

This is obviously an invalid argument in Philosophy terms. I'm looking for a counterexample for this problem. Best answer wins my vote.

Likely this question is specific to your own locale, but please offer your insights anyway. I tend to think there is a shortage of people willing to sacrifice their time in order to lead others (in the sense of organizing events and making it all happen, not simply bossing others around). I think the leaders are not doing their job, and have simply dropped out.

Why do everyone at a very young age have to die?

Why do I have to die at 21?

We should have bodies where we shouldn't die until we are 100 years old. Everyone don't deserve to die.

Why did we come on this earth in the first place.

There are a few different poplular scientific theories out there right now...

The Big Crunch - Everything falls back in upon itself in a giant fire-ball.

The Big Freeze - Everything runs out of energy and universe-wide heat is down to absolute zero.

Big Rip - Not only is the universe accelerating outwards, its acceleration rate is increasing, and eventually gravity, and even strong and weak subatomic forces will not be strong enough to "keep it together" and everything will literally be torn apart by the ever acceleratingly accelerating expansion of space itself.

Fermion-Boson Theory - The universe goes through a heat death, but then certain chemical condensates are formed, and eventually cause another Big Bang(s) which may create a new, or many new, universes.

And I'm sure you have many more ideas...

If you found 100 dollars on the floor, would you be happy?
If you had absoultely no money, would you be unhappy, why do people pursuit money so much?
How much do you vaule your material things? If you lost everything and became a begger in the streets, would you be happy?
Is donald trumpt happy? The guy who has a 20 year old wife and is rich like crazy? Hes always smiling so much in his pictures.
Lemme also ask this differently, is money required to gain happiness? Can you achieve happiness without any money at all? Meaning absoultely NO MONEY! can you achieve happiness?

Is there a reason that we meet certain people in life. I mean why is it that today we will post a question and find that someone might post an answer and it touches your soul in a certain way and you begin a friendship with them? Does that mean that it was "meant to happen that way"?

do we even think of killing ourselves. If we are so simple as just bodies why do we even get a thought of killing our bodies? When we say kill ourSELVES who is that we are trying to kill. In fact WHO is suggesting u to kill ur own SELF? Is it ur body? Is it your brain? Brain is just like a computer and nothing else? Doesn't that prove existence of things other body with in us? When U say to urself I want to walk don't we realiaze there is a different character there other than our body whom WE are COMMANDING to walk? If we say that it is our mind that decides every thing. What is mind then. Medical science in the first step doesn't accept anything that is not visible including mind. Doesn't that prove we are souls. Atleast it proves we are not bodies. Then why are scientists trying to deny the soul so easily?

I have been saving my money in hopes of buying a house, but it seems so far away due to the high cost of real estate. Should I buy a new car to make me feel happy? Right now, my life seems so bland and unfulfilling while trying to be responsible. My boss said to wait and buy a house first, but we are only young once..

Who created the universe and why would they do it. Please don't give me scientific stuff, I do not believe any scientific thing because at the beginning the beginning of evolution, the big bang or whatever there had to be something that was created by someone to spark what happened from then.

Why?

2007-01-22 08:05:46 · 9 answers · asked by Emily 2

I often wonder why we are here, there all tons of answers people will tell you based on their religious preference, but i wonder Why are we here, why do we live a purposeless life. We were somehow put upon this planet but for what? If your lucky you will get a well paying job and have a nice family, that doesn't matter in the greater scheme after your dead does the universe change, did you have an effect upon the universe? Personally unless you are one who can find the answers as to why we are here and what our purpose is then your life meant nothing. It seems that the one who created the planet, and the entire universe is doing it to play a game to watch us live boring, pointless, repetitive lives; just to die and watch it start over in a new person. Can anyone help me understand why we are even here, we could all die right now and what would happen?

There are so many meanings to this word and yet I would like to know why we so often forget that it was the Age of European Enlightenment that brought about our own Revolution. That is the enlightenment that Society today needs.

We still use those idea and yet we have been enlightened enough to update the constitution to include all types of privacy issues and other rights that need it.

That is the term enlightentment to me... What about you?

This is a very sensative and highly evolved subject matter according to us ordinary people who hurt ourselves by committing suicide, everyday, by a great fall. So please, no humor, just steady reasoning.

Honestly, do you really think somebody here will have the answer? If they do, please, send them my way because I have more questions than that for them. Quit being selfish and stop taking up my bandwidth. Figure it out on your own. Agree/Disagree? Why?
