Philosophy - April 2007

Death seems to always be looked upon in a negative way. That is understandable, in that people want to live and prolong their lives, etc.

Though if I try to look at the human condition from an objective point of view, I wonder why people don't talk about it more often. It is something that everyone has in common, and it is often a fear of people. Surely peoples' wonders and fears would be eased if the topic was discussed more often, therefore enhancing their lives.

Death seems to be an unspeakable subject. Many people feel uncomfortable discussing it, and some even seem offended when the matter is raised. Often, people will also jump to drastic conclusions - that the person raising the discussion is unhappy, suicidal, etc.

Surely it isn't bad of a person to wonder about death and want to discuss it, is it?

We all know that we did not create ourselves and if we were not created by an intelligent being then we must have been created by .... nothing! Who really sounds silly?A person who says an Intelligent being created this magnificent universe ? or one who says all this intelligence even in they're own bodies was created by, well .... nothing!
Allah says " those who dispute, if they were to bring all of they're greatest people together , they could not even create a single fly .and if that fly took something away from them they could not even retrieve it". Which Atheist dare answer this question !?

If God had the Patriot Act at his bedside, would you still respect Him? Even if He had a picture of Bush on the wall?

If anyone has seen the movie "The Secret" -that's where this question originated. The point of the movie is that what we think is what we are. Our thoughts have frequencies that resonate throughout the universe and become attracted to other similar frequencies. So if we keep thinking strongly the same way about the same thing, eventually it will realize itself in the physical realm. If you think about it, this happens all the time on a small scale, but we just don't give our minds credit for bringing about whatever it is into our lives. We chalk it up to mere coincidence. If we all learn to harness this natural superpower like some people have, anything we want or imagine can be attained. Watch that movie after you tell me what you think.

For the universe to want to become self aware of itself through our eyes and the eyes of other living creatures great and small, why does life strive to find a way? What is this force that drives the desire to be, not just in complex animals, but plants and just about everthing else? Is it a force akin to gravity and the four forces that govern our particular dimesion. With all due respect, please leave "god" out of it, because I have no idea what you mean by that and I'd be quite surprised if you do.

Maybe I am depressed because of stress or clinical depression or maybe because I never felt like I belonged in this envornment. I feel like I'm the only persian living in this environment. I can't really relate to my friends whom I love dearly (never had persian friends, all American) or maybe this depression has knocked out all the sense and clarity that I have had. Did the chicken come first or the egg?

Of course, everyone can be both a teacher and a student.

Suppose we have one teacher and one student. The teacher does not make a major contribution to his field. However, the student does. Who is more important: the teacher or the student?

You are locked up in an underground bunker. You begin to hear soldiers in the distance. You are carrying your baby daughter who will not stop crying. You try putting your hand over her mouth only to find that you are choking her. You know that if your daughter wont stop crying they will find all of you and kill you all. What do you do?
