Philosophy - June 2007

Assuming there is a God, and we were created by him/her, the creation seems incomplete or untruthful to the creator’s talents, as we think he/she to have.

I must subject myself to the understanding of a creator artist, sculptor, etc. What I mean is this, we believe that Gods is perfect, as such would want to showcase his "talent" in his creation.

In the Bible we were created in the image of God, similar to a artist or sculptors greatest work, where they would try to remove any flaw they see in themselves, or in the case of grotesque drawings add them.

Since gods whole creation is not only a image, but soul, and mind, I must ask weather or not he added his flaws, or removed them, thus making us more perfect then "he", or are we incomplete, in which any flaws the creation has is the result of incompletion. Thus the lives we live are apart of the creation, and Prophets are the tools use in the process, to remove flaws.

I.E. Be Perfect as the father in heaven- Jesus

I've discovered a couple of years back that you have to do something that you love (not sleeping, eating, or being lazy), and waking up in the morning looking forward to doing it.

To most people (with a weak soul) is a horrible thing to experience from losing a loved one to losing someone you know like friends but death is a natural cause of life because without death there isn't anything (like someone died fighting for freedom or changing history or a new life reborn). Death is just the the way of life (GET USE TO IT) and to live with.

I've had numerous encounters with people who, no matter what I say, will try to argue against my position. Also, many people, after an argument that wasn't resolved, would say that they just enjoy arguing. Why?

LIfe is waste of time, we all could be in heaven. And when I get the chance I will go to heaven. It is just so I been so busy, I haven't made arrangements for my death yet. But when I am not busy oh yeah, I will be in heaven with God.

You even have to admit being on earth is pretty stupid, and dumb. Everyone dies.

So living is a waste of time, and I feel as soon as I die the world will end, because I am not here anymore.

Plato has many books. In which book does he address that man has a soul or that the soul exists? I think he talks about the triparate soul in the republic, but I don't think this is the particular book where he claims that man actually has a soul.

thanks!

I Do Not Choose to be Common

It is my right to be uncommon - if I can.
I seek opportunity - not security.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and build, to fail and succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.
I prefer the challenge of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the state of calm utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid.

There is nothing difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.

Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions and only lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.

'Do it or don't do it, you'll regret it either way.'

Of course there is an element of humour but there's some substance to this as well.

Chasing pleasure can be a road to unhappiness, but then again maybe he's suggesting that denying pleasure is also a road to unhappiness.

What do you think?

Its a nice thought, but where does that extra happiness come from?

...and do we have a right to 'dump' our sorrows on others? aren't we just spreading misery?

We all like to think we're ethical, I'd like to know what motivates you and why you value it above other ethics.

I will always choose the best answer, it's my question and can differ from my own view if it's well reasoned. Also, all forums attract a greater proportion of *bunny boilers* than are in the general population, i ain't going to let that be a factor.
