I could give you a huge list of dumb things that have been said or written by some of the world's brightest folks. What gives? Even I myself (an intelligent male in his own right) tend to say or think dumb things. Think about the dumb and untenable things said by Kant, Hume, Stephen Hawkins, and Arthur Schopenhauer. Some of their thoughts strike a person of moderate intelligence as "dumb" with only a few moments of reflection.

It seems to me that alot of the people with college degrees that work with helping people end up having to take alot of psycology classes but not very many philosopy classes. Is my perspective on this wrong? Does understanding psycology mean you get philosopy? Is psycology more important because its an actualy science? Is learning philosophy more ment for someones own time then school time?

"In our part of the world where monogamy is the rule, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties."

Even though he was talking about his country, I wonder if his comment could apply to monogamous unions in general.

What part of the "mind" desires thought, or to think?

like...

when you type, you just know where to put your fingers. when you see a certain person or a certain place your mind jumps and knows what it is. we don't think in words or pictures, so what do we think in? i guess emotions...but not really. those moments of recognition, when stuff just pops into our heads, we think a lot more than we realize. does anyone else get what i'm saying?

I need a list of 10 for school, and so far I have 4. I normally have a lot of them, but now that I am called upon to write them down, I can't really think of any. I'm hoping your answers will jog my memory.

If I came forth with, say, video footage on Youtube of the stigmata cuts that sometimes show up on my forehead.

Folks (who already don't believe in God to begin with) could just say it's something that happened by an accident or that I made the cuts myself and lied.

This happens over and over again each time proof is brought forth.

What does it mean to have a purpose? I heard that the single most motivating factor, more than goals or dreams, is to connect with a sense of purpose. What does that mean? also any examples?

Do you remember those teen years when your parents lectured you? When they said "I'm not lecturing you. It's not my intention to make you feel bad." So you open up, hoping it will be an ordinary conversation with discreetly placed advice, not insults that make you want to cry. And it does go well, until, right before they shut the door, they say something like "I'd hate to see someone with so much potential to ruin it all by making wrong decisions." that sort of comments very purpose is to crush you, to make you feel like absolute crap! Why don't people just say "I might be insulting you here, and I might be lecturing you a little bit, but it's for your own good that I lecture and insult you."Why aren't people honest about their intentions and what they mean? When people try to be something they're not and try to mean something they don't, it just makes them look like hypocrites. I remember feeling like I had no role models because they all said one thing and acted in another way. Why?

"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."

Do you agree or disagree with this quote and please explain why. There are some thoughts/ideas lingering in my mind that cannot be solved unless I answer this question first. Please, I need to be enlightened.

This is probably a silly question but I've been praying and asking him to come into my life and direct my path, however I still feel empty & alone. I'm starting to think that he has his ear plugs on when it comes to hearing my prayers. Should I just give up? More than anything else in this world, I really want him in my life, but I feel like it's trying to find the needle in the hay stack. Maybe by trying to have the faith that I used to have
will help me feel alive again. I have everything money could buy and I'm financially stable, however I'm extremely unhappy because I don't have that peace in my heart (if that makes sense). I feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing and that piece is God..however I've been asking him to come into my life forever and nothing happens.. should I give up? Any advice or ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

are we really? if we were to rid ourselves of all that which we have read, heard, experienced, created and rememberd etc. who would we be?
I mean can you tell the difference when you are playing a role and being yourself?
and when one is himself, what does that mean anyway?
Can you tell the difference between what you know and what you have read?
We seem to be a bundle of things stacked on top of each other, mostly coincedently.
Think if you were born in korea, you would be completely different, exept for those things which make you human same biological structure, your brain, emotions etc.
One seems to be like an empty egg shelf, which can be filled up anyway. There seems to be no concrete you or no real essence, no you. Only something changing, something put together by where ever you are in time, culture, upbringing etc.

Sorry for my bad english, it is not my mother tounge.
