everything on this earth has a certain time span to live , some longer and some shorter than others but you can all agree humans get about 100 or less. Why that number? is the purpose just to reproduce? But why about 100

It's kind of a philosophical question; y'know, purpose of life. I'd prefer non-religious answers, since saying "To please God" is meaningless.

I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches us.Abhinav +919891537770

is there a deeper issue (problem) than curiosity? For example, I have a friend that is a nursing student. He also is proficient at calligraphy, painting, can play instruments (2), was previously good at mathematics and checks out math books to keep up with his past performances. Philosophy is another thing he does. I really wonder what drives him? He is a loner and doesn't want friends, just knowledge satisfies. It's difficult to understand what is the reason for wanting to know everything and I wonder why he doesn't try to stick with one thing and excel.

a person snaps their fingers and "Poof!!!" the stuff "disappears out of thin air!"?

and enjoy!!

thanks!

Let me describe it for you...
I can't describe it...I don't know what I'm feeling, and that's why I know something's wrong because until recently...I've always known what I was feeling...and I've always been able to "describe" my mental Chee quite easily...but now I can't...and I seem to have lost what I thought was a rock solid "Chee..." Am I having a "Mid-Life Crisis...? Is "This" what that's like...?!?

You eat, sleep, crap, work, work, work, etc. The cycle continues. It all seems utterly pointless. And if you do happen to be good at something, suppose you are very intelligent. Life doesn't care about your intelligence, and everyone except maybe a couple of people in the world will care about it either. What's the point to anything? We eventually die anyyway...

Moral Relativism is a popular idea floating around the world today, and the way I understand it, Moral relativism is the idea that moral values are based on what society or an individual deems is right, this may seem to some a liberating concept, self choice and all that, but according to this theory, if society had been accepting of genocide, would Hitler, Stalin, Mao and there like have been innocent? Would there decision to have millions killed been "right" if society had thought it to be. Just looking for some thought on the subject.

Socrates basically stated that the body and the entire physical world is flawed and any actual knowledge you try to get from it would (as a consequence) also be flawed. and that the only way to reach true knowledge is to use only your thought to get to the "archetypal" world. the concept or idea of things, wich, as oposed to the physical world, is perfect.

now, in my point of view: Every bit of knowledge by means of thought we get, is derived from an idea we already had in our minds. and those ideas we already had are pretty much irrational, or based in the physical plane. like some dualist philosophies in anthropology that derive from religious concepts (like most works in middle age).

being that the case, unless you get to the root; The basic idea of the universe (wich is what philosophy is all about), without any kind of relation to any pre-given concept you had. ANY and ALL knowledge is fundamentally flawed

if you have other ideas you could share them aside from answering
