Philosophy - January 2007

I am not suggesting immortality - suppose you'd still die after a 'normal' lifespan of (say) 80 or 90 years, but you'd look and feel the same age for all of it...

I used to ask this question when I was little, (usually shoving a pencil or pen or some other microphone substitute in people's faces), and oddly, my answer is unchanged.

When I was 15, I said 25 - now I'm 39, I say the same. You are an adult, and accorded all the privileges and responsibility that goes with that, but you're still considered young - you can still enjoy all the attention and activities that seem to be exclusive to the young.

I'd be curious as to what other people think - please also tell us how old you are now!

For what purpose people want to live longer ? They have seen almost everything upto 60 years of their life but do not want to die at any age.

"Bothered folk, son, outside, Bothered folk are quick to judge."
Vernon, the main character, is wrongly involved in a criminal affair, that is, his classmates' massacre, just because he was the closest friend of the murderer. Here the sheriff interviews him and starts his questions by this.

"The diference between a moral man and an honourable man is that the honourable man will feel guilty about a dishonourable act even though it has worked in his favour and he has not been caught."

What do you think is the message in this phrase and what does it mean for those who hold morals or honour scared? (Also if you know who said it first that would be greatly appreciated.)

Which is better to have morals or a code of honour?

Please explain your answers.

I Thank You in advance for your insight.

I have always tried to be a good decent person - people always screw me over or stuff doesn't work out & I am never in a "good" state in life.....I am going to give up & resign myself to a sucky life....that seems that it's going to be that way anyway- There are no honest, kind people anymore & nothing is going to go my way

Why do all living things die? What is the purpose in that? Assuming you believe in God of some sort, what part does death play in God's grand scheme of things? If you believe in some sort of an afterlife, why don't people just start out there and never die? I asked this question in the religion section too. I thought I would ask it here in philosophy because the answers are usually more thought out.

i mean everyone's talking about changing the past, changing their mistakes but what it's like to see the future, having the chance to change the mistakes that you're going to make... will you have a better life?

In a sense that some persons tend to do everything to achieve their goals but it seems to be unattainable but there are persons who can attain their goals easily...i mean in terms of better job, dream house, dream car etc...

There are always people that will tell you this is 'wrong' or you did the 'right' thing, but how can we limit and seperate what is right and what is wrong?

Without the faults you might not appreciate the virtues, and the struggle to improve.
