Philosophy - March 2007

My husband says absolute honesty, but we have discussed this in Philosophy class, and sometimes the truth is worse than a lie. I think that betrayal is worse than lying. What do you think?

Describe the historical significance (in details) of Timur Lenk, Timur the Lame, or Tamerlane.

How can his politics be justified by his religious beliefs?

How might the life and actions of this man help the world to understand the Christian/Muslim conflict that exists in the world today?

Please include as many examples as possible.

I curl up in to a little ball, quaking with illogical fear, and then I finally circle back to the conclusion that if this is all an illusion, it doesn't matter, because I have it pretty good, so why would I want to find out reality is something different.

I don't know why it's so scary, though...seeing as it's completely irrelevant.

I guess I just start thinking about how weird it is to exist...to see, hear, smell, touch and taste. And it goes on from there.

Anyway, this is going on too long.

What do you do?

If we assume that our conception of God is all good, all powerful and all loving then how can we explain the existence of evil? An implied belief in the existence of God and in Evil is included.....

Some say God allows evil so that we can be made strong. and that God isn't interested in humanities happiness but we are here on the earth to continue our "soulmaking." Suffering is good. Does anyone agree or disagree with this?

The ego controlled illusion of seperatedness is the cause of all conflict, of all wars, of violence in unimaginable proportions, of lovers squabbles and of the two world wars we have witnessed.

Being seperate is an illusion. We are all just consciousness brought temporarily into many different types of forms but ultimately there is only one being and that is consciousness.

We all come from the same source.

Why do people not see this and believe that we are all fragmented, divided beings, totally alone in the universe when this is clearly not true?

Is it the ego that causes this illusion of seperatedness?

Are we parasites to the earth just like mosquitos are to humans. Do you think droughts, Ice ages and the like are a kind of antibody to kill us off when we get too many in number.
