Philosophy - February 2007

the despisers of the body who ignore body's desire; who pass nights to dance physically, the pig who works in offices, the weak who can't works like harvesters.
Or the killer, the one who tortures animals
Sorry , my mind is troubled so I can't speak without fault.
There's way to be untroubled, that's to be troubled with resistance like at present but inverted.
Oh values! I am slave for them. I want to live like a machine which follow its code without consciousness

Any ideas are welcome.

I know that there are many theories about reality so I am not here to argue what is true.

I am wondering that if we were actually ''sims'', how should I live my life and conduct myself so that the ''player'' of the game (That is, g-d/ whoever/ whatever) would gain me favors.

Here is an idea from http://www.simulation-argument.com :
'' If you might be living in a simulation then all else equal you should care less about others, live more for today, make your world look more likely to become rich, expect to and try more to participate in pivotal events, be more entertaining and praiseworthy, and keep the famous people around you happier and more interested in you. ''

There have been many stories from history that have ended in a 'perfect type' of way. For example take 'The Little Sea Maid' (also known as 'The Little Mermaid') from Hans Christian Anderson. At the end of the story when she is unable to kill her love she throws herself from the ship ready to die but instead is 'saved' from death by children of the air. OR 'Le Belle te le Bete' (I believe it is, my French is very rusty. Also known as 'Beauty and the Beast') from Jeanne-Marie Leprince De Beaumont where the primary female character eventually finds a way to love the beast.

But the real world is not like this, and if presented with a real world example we are in the most part unable to accept it, it is to perfect in a way.

So my question is, if we like these fairy tales and hold them as an example for what can be why do we not strive to achieve it? AND Why do we resist it, and try to change it to what we are comfortable with?

Serious answers only.
Please explain your answers.

money, children, helpfulness to others, good health, love from others and their respect, good feeling (physical and emotional), happiness, self-comfort, being champion of a sport or business, being talented?
I don't see value in these "values".
