we say 'I' always when we refer ourselves. Is it body, mind or Self within?

This question has to do with Heidegger's point of view ? He keeps mentioning that the character has a thingly thing, but really it just keeps going in cirlcles and it's confusing. Just like how he says: ''..to enter into the question of the thingly character of the thing?...the work's work-characte can't be defined in terms of its thingly character, but as against that the question about the thing's thingly character...''? Does anyone get this? Cuz I sure don't?!

Its incredible how people are so quick to react to an even like this one, but yet no one is willing to take their time and think why these things are happening and why Hystory keeps repeating itself. Thinkgs like this happen everyday all over the world. Trouble and tourtured people loose any sense of judgement and kill hundreds or not thoughsands of people. We are so quick to jump and say "what kind of person would do such thing" but we don't realize the huge mistake that we are making in today's society. Let me remind you, recism The holocaust, Politics and power The Rwanda Massacre in 1994. Why don't we ask for a moment what it is that we are doing whrong. We are so afraid to become a victim to a psychopath but yet we dare to be racist,sexist, discriminatin, judging.

My name is Mohamed. I am 54 years old..I come from East Africa.I am an African I am semi retired.I am high school leaver. I am married.
. I love soccer.I hate violence. I am 5ft 6''. I like to discuss "spiritual matters' and science and many, many things in "life"

But even at this age, on the brink of driving on the last lap of a bridge called life, I have failed to discover who really I am.

Hello over there, is there anyone who has discovered who really they are?

Plse share the secret of this discovery with me such that I also can free myself from the humdrum life of eating, drinking sleeping, working, reading, watching movies.(.all temporary sensual pleasures) and even more, from always going before my God( I bet everyone has their God) who is silent all the times!!!

When you answer,plse dont append any religious denomination to my name ...just tell me who really you are.

Be blessed........

Are you familiar with the idea that God is a human invention, and that we needed to create this idea of God? If so, do you know who proposed this theory, and who're the most prominent people to have written about it, and where they have written it? THANKS HEAPS!

Having both traits would be ideal. However, if you can only choose one of these two traits, which one would you want your spouse to have and why?

One major question...if the goal of mortal men is to move on to the next realm, then why live in this one at all? If you know your time is limited, why fight to stay alive? Why is it, in our very nature, to survive down to our last breath? One may ask, who cares?...Don't worry about it...Stop and smell the roses and such. Bah! For what purpose? A man once said, "... everything that ever lived is dead, and everything alive is gonna die...". He's right.

what if the person you became in the future wanted a second chance to go back to the past fix everything they did wrong,and therefore you ARE reliving the past but you have no memory of the future?

The atheist Bertrand Russell wrote in his book "Why I am Not a Christian" that if it is true that all things need a cause then God must also need a cause. He concluded from this that if God needed a cause then God was not God (and if God is not God then of course there is no God). This was basically a slightly more sophisticated form of the childlike question, "Who made God?" Even a child knows that things do not come from nothing, so if God is a "something" then He must have a cause as well, right?



The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that God came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, "What does blue smell like?" Blue is not in the category of things that have odor, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.



How do we know this? Well, we know that from nothing, nothing comes. So if there was ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence then nothing would have ever come to exist. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been existing. That ever-existing thing is what we call God.
