In the name of certainties, under its illusionary god, people have had an almost medieval belief in the destruction of other people’s ways and lives. Nations and individuals have come to regard themselves as gods. This certainty, whether its name is religion, imperialism, ideology, class, caste, race, or sex has been the great undoing of our measureless heritage, and has narrowed the vastness of human possibility and marvellous variety.

Will the collapse of towers of certainty signify the triumph of TIME over the insane arrogance of human certainties?

what are the sacrifices and trade-offs you've done on choosing a course that you've never wanted or you're not comfortable with?For example,instead of taking finearts (because you r talented and fond of arts) you took nursing just 4 the reasons that you are forced by your parents,or juz bcoz nursing is so demanding,,etc.

...example: I like it when people talk about themselves...I enjoy hearing other people tell me their "life" story. I "like" people who talk a lot, I like people who don't worry about my needs, I like people who have a "ribald" and "fearless" sense of humor, I like people who light-heartedly insult me, or question my motives...

So if I applied the "Golden Rule" to these things...I would run into serious trouble, because what I like people to "do unto" me, is "Not" what they would like done "unto" them...

Can you think of a similar situation in your own life where the "Golden Rule" does not apply...? (where I grew up, light-hearted insults and sarcasm was a sign of affection, and so I like it when people are light-heartedly insulting or sarcastic to me...)

Rene Descartes stated that for one to know that s/he exists, it is when you think. a thinking person is one who doubts, and the one who doubts is therefore a thinking self.

'i think, therefore, i am'.


he does not indicate the function of the human body. so what is the connection of our body to our mind? what will be the difference of 'my dog' from 'my body', if both pertains to possessive belongingness?

P.S: [Mr] Small, can you please answer this?
