Philosophy - August 2007

Everything that exists in this galaxy has to be equal. I think Everything! Life could possibly be all about pros & cons. Have you noticed that there are pros & cons to everything? High quality stuff are more expensive. Newly invented stuff have pros & cons like alternative fuel & alternative energy. I think Everything is in "Pros/Cons Scale." If people go to pros side. Almost all of life could extinct, mankind would go crazy if they would go to the cons side. Like the territories in the world. If we made the size of countries equal. Then it would be fair. The downside is that it's just equal, so we have to limit the size of civilization, population, and maybe even sacrifice religion. If a country takes more land, another would want more. Leading to war to see who's more powerful enough to have more land, but it would decease loved ones. Or junk food tasting good, but bad for your health. The Pros/Cons Generator lies in our brains, but there could be a main system somewhere around.

Strange turn of events for me - had a big family, everyone was real close - done a lot of things in my life and lived in many places - had many good friends -- but within a span of around five years, I lost contact with past friends & my family members all happened to pass away, all from natural causes -- REALLY STRANGE to basically find myself an "orphan" with almost no contacts! Sort of like some kind of movie "plot" that I could ever imagine ever happening to me. What would you do if suddenly you had no one? No ties - no obligations - no reason.... but you could go anywhere & do anything? Or not? Or, why? Where would you go? How?

It's easy to talk about peace, but that is not enough. One must truly believe in peace and that is still not enough. One must personally work at peace. So when someone does their best to hurt you, what do you personally do to work at peace?

I almost never use it. Love is wordless. I guess, if it is known, then why does it need to be said... And if it is not known, then saying it is no guarantee of its validity, unless the recipient can be certain of truthfulness. What do you think?

If it is for reassurance, then would it be effective if there were a transition from "loving" to "not loving"? The transition would be very gradual, but there would be a degree of untruthfulness even to oneself in the period of uncertainty...

Karma is a boomerang. You know it's going to strike sooner or later. But sometimes the cycle of punishments/rewards functions according to its own chronological rules and the boomerang effect is slowed down. Can this offer the individual a chance to change his/her standing point, change the previous action that determined the boomerang effect in the first place by altering it with other actions? Balance negativity with ulterior positivity? In other words, does karma forgive or do actions remain imprinted on each individual's CV?

To me, a hero is someone who endures hardship and or pain that they wouldn't have to endure. Choosing to keep your baby even though you could just as easily abort or give it up for adoption, for instance. Or conversely, giving your baby up for adoption because you don't believe you're a fit parent for some reason, even though nobody is pressuring you to do so.

One doesn't actually need to -do- anything to be a hero, they just need to be the kind of person who would be willing to if the occasion arose, especially (but not exclusively) if they would act without giving it a second thought.

I want to see what your approaches are. I'm mainly talking about the state of mind of life and not the science of it. For example when people try to put someone down they say, "I have a life, back off." Doesn't everyone have a life?

I will present a quote, and welcome thoughts and debate. I only ask to please keep this civil, and no hurling of insults or cynical comments from either side, all of which will be reported.

the quote:
"Religion...has certian ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. What it means is, 'Here is an idea or notion that you're not allowed to say anything bad about; your just not. Why not? - because you're not!' If somebody votes for a party that you don't agree with, you're free to argue about it as much as you like; everybody will have an argument but nobody feels aggrieved by it. If somebody thinks taxes should go up or down you are free to have an argument about it. But on the other hand if somebody says 'I mustn't move a light switch on a Saturday', you say, 'I respect that'.
Why should it be that it's perfectly legitimate to support the Labour party or the Consercatice party, Republicans or Democrats, this model of economics versus that, Macintosh
