Philosophy - June 2007

"Beauty doesn't exist in things ;
beauty is a projection .

Beauty is not objective ;
it is subjective .

So
one day somebody looks beautiful ,
another day
the same person become ugly .

It is you who projects ,

it is you who withdraws ;
the other work just as a screen .


Once you come to know that
the mind projects beauty and ugliness ,

that the mind projects good and bad ,

you stop projecting .

Then for the first time you come to know
what objective reality is.

It is neither good nor bad ,
it is neither beautiful nor ugly ;
it simple is .
All your interpretations drop with the projection."

In high school speech and debate team I was taught a concept in moral philosophy.

It regards doing something immoral to to achieve an end that was more moral than the action.

For example: If you could go back in time and kill Hitler to spare the atrocities committed by him, the moral lapse of the killing was more or less negated by the fact that the killing saved millions of lives.

There is a name for this concept, does anyone know it?

Is this a man made concept ? Or a form of a pure,
spiritual, MYSTERIOUS force, sent down from
a Higher Power ? Can one truly know where this
unexplained, feeling of strong affection, first took
place ? And it still exist in a modern day world, in
light of all the madness out there. Where does love
come from ? Best answer wins.

Mediocrity tends to be given a rather unfair treatment by the intellectuals. I think that mediocrity is something laudable, at least in politics, because it ensures a weak state and a free people. The demands of excellence in politics on the part on socialist theorists, have lead to totalitarian dictatorships. Should we celebrate mediocrity as the highest virtue?.

America has lost the"tallest-height-nation" title.
Is this contributing to a loss in well-being too?

Example: There is no heaven or hell. You are here, then you die, so, in the end it doen't matter if you are a murderer or rapist. It is all a matter of personal comfort and what you want to do with the time you have until you die.Others not liking you is no reason not to do what you want to do.

It is better to be ruled by a tyrant (since then there is only one person committing bad deeds). than a bad democracy (since here all the people are now responsible for such actions)

some people say i should write, cuz i write good, so instead of turning to friends, i ask those of complete strangers to rate my writings. so be honest, i kno u ***** are haha

to explain the point is hard
due to the different views and aspects that we conintue to investigate and the fuse we protect differ from everyone, from the ones with guns to the ones who runs from the pig,

from the ones who wear a wig to the ones who buy the fig instead if picking and the sickn'thedying say different from the ones who are trying to make money from the ones who worship a bunny, you think its funny but the drain thats runny

says nothing can be contolled and the truth is yet untold
i dont belive theres a meaning, its a man-made concept to decept the actual truth that the proof we dont have and never will is considered a hope and a fact set still.
some says its to live a happy life, but others say its to kill with a knife, some say its to **** and others to hunt ducks. everyones has opinions which mean the billions reasons are all created and theyre debated from others with different direction of the reason to our perfection.

there is no meaning of life and night after night no matter what you say or think does not create a actual truth considering humans are pretentios creatures who say theyre the **** but not a bit correct, but whos to inspect?

who will say were wrong, nothing because were so strong that the other animals are the wrong and weaker, and the speaker to preach his preaches does not reach every beach therefore the philosophy cannot teach everyone to conform to their belifes that "god" made all the leafs, and says you cannot each beef.

no one is right, beacuse we stay up all night trying to fight the fact from lie and contract the pie we made along with every other daily basis including being a racsist. everything we do today is somethin someone used to say and somehow it stuck to society and the thought of a diety, is personal opionion whether or not theyre be a prisoner, a minion, of hell, yet we cannot tell how the places exists and we persist to inform everyone the storm of fire from the higher power, yet thers no proof, and i bet the roof of reality does not match the the tally of reckless ancient human beings considering the **** were seeing in the labs, and the tabs of acid , from lake ontario to lake placid.

its just a method to control to say your "soul" is more than energy and a bowl of pot will just rot your mind, yet everyone is one of a kind, and were free, but to say that we see how free we can be is not as true as we wish it could be.

If there were the answer to every problem of this world scribbled on a crumpled piece of paper at the bottom of a land fill, How many people would go searching for it?

If there was the biggest lie in a splendidly bound volume, how many people would believe it?

What has the greater influence, the message or the package?

Thanks.
