Philosophy - March 2007

Though I understand what Ayn Rand was saying here, I am still at
a loss in regards to this specific sentence "but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment"

OR intelligent people always use their heads..?
OR sensitive people always use their hearts..?

Is it right to say that scientific and philosophic individuals are highly intelligent with low level of emotion..?

This may seem like a random question and it is, but also a serious one. If you belive in fate why? If you dony why?

Not to be mean, but I asked a question about finding true happiness and people kept suggesting that I give more and more to people. But I feel like I give enough of myself as it is, my life circles around my family, I do all the house chores, runs errands, drive my relatives who have no car where ever they go, I do my parents/ grandparents and siblings laundry/I pick up and drop off my cousins to and from school, I'm always in a hurry and if I do get any money I give it back to my parents because I feel like they need it more. But no matter what I do I still feel in appreciated and no happiness comes from doing good to others. My relatives still talk crap about me and I have no one to turn to. Honestly that is why I ended up asking you guys for advice. I don't know what to do, I just feel like my whole life at 19 revolves around "them" and what I want to do is put on hold. I gave up long distant learning just so I could help them around the house..I don't know where is happiness?

Can somebody explain this to me

"Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive by any random means, as a parasite, a moocher or a looter, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment - so he is free to seek his happiness in any irrational fraud, any whim, any delusion, any mindless escape from reality, but not free to succeed at it beyond the range of the moment nor to escape the consequences."


Thank you

The left side is the easy side, something you may or may not want, but is easy to attain, will make you content, but may not keep your happy for long.

The right side is the hard side, something you really want, but is difficult to attain, you probably won't even get it, it will keep you happy the longest, but you may not get anything at all and may be worst off than if you had not even driven at all...

Which road do you take? You can't do straight...I know I want to go straight to...but you have to pick...left or right?

For me? I am still deciding....

I have always looked for true happiness but could never find it. In the eyes of many people including my family, they would assume that I would be happy, especially since I have many material objects that most people can't afford. I don't know why but I just feel like I'm searching for something that I can't attain. I want to feel truly happy, but all the happiness I feel are fake, shallow, and just an act. I want to be happy a simple act that I cannot achieve. Is it even feasable to experience true happiness? If so how?

Why is called cheating because when the artist creates any of his work he is defienetly inspired by the creation around him and we all know the CREATOR of the whole universe is one.Therefore no one can claim to be original but the Creator.
Hence the word cheat is used in the question.

People always see the negative aspect of others and creates unnecessary tension for themself. Just by seeing good thing in others you can feel a energy in youself.

Is it just to treat others like I would want to be treated? Isn't that being selfish to think that everyone else wants to be treated like I do?

I have been taking a few time to think in depth how I have learned things and how I know them. Such as how do I know that concrete is hard?

What defines hard? Who defines what we see and know? How do we know things? Is what we know what society is based on? Is what we know your own belief?

How can we know that fact is thruth?

Everything we perceive or think is given a word or description. So reality is symbolic? Your thoughts please.
