I'm feeling quite frustrated. I'm 27 and I haven't done anything with my life that I consider to be fruitful.

I have a failed marriage behind me (married young), a couple of failed relationships, I have a job that bores me rigid (even tho it's well-paid), I don't own a house, I have lots of friends but they're all happy in relationships and I don't have much opportunity to meet new people as they always have house parties.

I just feel really dissatisfied with life.

I'd like to teach, but it's a long slog to get a degree and then PGCE to then drop about £10K in wages... This has prevented me so far, and I feel deflated that I haven't done anything productive with my life.

All I've ever wanted was to raise a family, but keep ending up with losers and that seems less & less likely the older I get.

I'm just really fed-up - anyone got any good ideas as to how to make life feel more worth-while? What do you do that makes you feel fulfilled?

From a philosophical perspective, I'm talking about perception and reality here.
think of the following three entities...

A. The original object
B. The image of the original object (Make of this as you wish)
C. The image of the original object as seen through the window

Do you think anything is lost or gained between perception and reality here?

for me, it would be the paradox of Protagoras v. Euathlus.

i believe that this should be answered in "philosophy",as
distinct from math.
Now let me word this carefully: If the above is true-that higher
arithmetic can never be rational like 1+1=2, -there must be
"a Change-over",where the lower-becomes-the higher(!)
An example in math would be the change from mathematical
terms to metamathematical terms.
Im interested in what,if any, has Godel's proof in philosophy
and thus science,et al.

The more you study, the more you know.

The more you know, the more you can forget.

The more you can forget, the more you do forget.

The more you do forget, the less you know.

So why study?

Is there actually a god? I mean, if there is actually a god, then how did he get here to make the universe? Where did he come from? And also, if Adam and Eve were the "first" humans, then how come there are black people and hispanic people? If supposedly Adam and Eve were "white"? And how come other religions have other gods, but if we all came from Adam and Eve, then why dont we all belive in the dame god?

This sounds one sided, but has caused alot of controversy. The church instead of punishing child predators within the preisthood, they just move them to a new parish miles away. What's up with that? Have the bishops and even the pope finally lost it?

1. Do things because they need to?
2. Do things because they want to?
3. Do things because there is no other choice?

Which of these do you believe to be an ethical approach to life?
