would you say the golden rule (do unto others as you would have others do unto you) would be sufficient as the only ethical guideline? would you say there are any situations where the golden rule simply would not work? thanks for any answers =)

please don't waste FOOD and DRINK bcs these 2 are the most precious things in the world, see the photos attached u could understand why? really those r stunning and painful.
Don't waste food and drink!!! Letz Make a Promise 2Day
I feel very GRATEFUL for what I have today.......
We are so lucky! contemplate on this...
He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.
"I felt very fortunate to live in this part of the world. I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I promise not to waste water. I pray that this little boy be alleviated from his suffering.
I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the suffering in the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.
People have said time and again that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. But what they will probably never understand is how I'll always be a winne

If you don't believe that then I beg you watch this video concerning it (it provides suprising evidence for this):

Remember that our bodies and the worlds surface are made up of almost 3/4 water: this has massive implications!

Love and gratitude form the greatest of water crystals, so I suggest that you make some of your own. =)

Suppose one morning you decide to drive to work by a different route and miss a horrible crash which might have killed you, or you decide to visit a new mall where a sniper has decided to take out a few dozen shoppers.........you just never know what can flow from the simplest whim or decision you make, do you?

You know, everything has a lifetime. For example, the lifetime of human is about 80 years; Or the lifetime a car is about 20 years; Or a man and a woman who have marriaged, expect that their relationship continue for 50 years, ie that the lifetime of a marriage is about 50 years; or the lifetime of a furniture set is about 5 years. On the othe hand, all of us want everything works and be safe for it's total lifetime, I mean that for example, we want that a car works for us and be safe for all 20 years; or we want that we have a good and safe relationship with our partner (wife or husband) for all the 50 years.
Now, my theory says that if everything would be safe and good for the first one tenth of its lifetime, it will be good and safe for all it's lifetime. For example, if a couple have a good relationship withouth any crisis in the first 5 years, their relationship will be continue safe and good till 50 years.

Thanks for your attention.

Why is PDA illegal? This is more of a "if" question...

it has been shown that cartesian philosophy is flawed. for example his proof of god is very weak and easily argued and his idea that we can never know other minds or reality is in a way true and false. the only thing that is truly valid his his famous "i think therefore i am", which is the only thing we can truly prove empericaly.

but his doubt of the world is nowdays outdated. luckily we hav come along way since him and show over whelming EVIDENCE of other minds ESPECIALY wittgensteins private language argument against solipsism and putnams arguments against the brains in a vat.

it is shown that even though we can know through the use of common sense and rationality and logic used in there arguments makes it clearly evident that there are other minds.

the ONLY thing that hold the skeptics philosophy skepticism is the fact that even though we can show through logic that there is a reality we still canot rely on our senses thus not being able to prove anything EMPERICALY

in conclusion we can sho that obviousely there is a reality and other minds. however we can nver prove anything empericaly because in order to that we must use our senses. so the only thing that we can PROVE is that we exists.

so realy solipsism and skepticism are flawed obviousely. but we cant never PROVE it flawed. do you know what i mean?

its like arguing for the existence of unicorns or monsters but not being able to use our senses to disprove there existence.

What makes something, someone or some place meaningful to you?

Do you see meaning as intuitive -- centered around caring for people, or intellectual -- focusing on the quest for spirituality/knowledge?
