Philosophy - August 2007

There is something quite pressing that I must make clear immediately.
I am afraid I am going to have to take that donut. That donut with the chocolate frosting. The one with the soft, fluffy cake and the white-paper wrapper. Yes, the donut that is virtually indistinguishable from the 16 to 20 other donuts around me at this time.
This is the sole donut I have singled out. Granted, it happened to be the first to enter my field of vision as I came in the room.
The donut situated in that location is the donut of my desire. The one at which I am at this moment intently staring. That is the donut that I will shortly be removing from its wrapper and consuming. The sooner you grasp the reality of this, the easier it will be for all of us.
While the donut in question is not, at this time, officially "mine," I wish to make it known, in no uncertain, vague, or ambiguous terms, that under absolutely no circumstances will anyone other than myself be eating that donut.

Sometimes people say "I don't know" when we ask them why they love a particular person. It is hard for them to answer. Is that how love should be?

Or should it be more definable like qualities a,b,c......

I believe creation is very likely.
Nobody knows how far out the world really goes, what are the depths beyond space.
So there is the belief that there must be a god, because what are the chances that everything in our world is so perfectly set up?
I think the chances are indeed very big. This world is big beyond our comprehension. It could be that the circumstances in which our world, life, plants, beings is actually not bizarre at all.
For example, if you had a large container and filled it all with black sand. and you put a couple peices of, orange sand in it. Only a few. You shook this container and tried to get the orange sand all in the same spot. This would seem very har but if you shook the container enough times, eventually you would get it. Probablity has this chance being very low, but imagine a much larger container with a lot more sand.
Imagine a muuuuch bigger world with a lot of aliens, We are indeed not the only persons god made, if indeed there is a god.

I've noticed that some people tell us a lot about whom they are, where they live, what they do, their likes and dislikes, etc. in their profiles, yet others don't even bother to say if they are male or female, where they reside, how old they are, etc. I don'y expect you to open yourself to all kinds of perverts on the prowl (you can block IM and e-mail messages here in any case), but it would sure be great to see the opinions of folks who are not simply anonymous avatars (or whatever they call those rediculous pictures above your name in your profile section!), but REAL flesh and blood people whom one can relate to. Just wondering . . . .

Ive been in a job where ive been working with the public for about 6yrs at this stage and ive come to the conclusion that most people have no awareness of themselves or the people around them. They say and act in a rude and ignorant manner to those around them. Seemingly without any knowledge or awareness of the offensive way they behave. Ive learned at this stage to not take it personally when a customer is being rude because like I said, I dont think they even realise what theyre doing.
What has been your experience of people, do you think they lack awareness and are off on another planet? thanks

i'm thinking of the governing/government of Iraq;
It operates-just about-by a simple majority;nothing wrong
with that.
But if the politicians were selected,fairly,by random-would
these ordinary people be more likely to unify and galvanize
both the government and the population.
(im thinking that the candidates for selection would be Every
Lawful Citizen)

And thus more likely to stop the violence.
Is that a risk worth taking?
