Philosophy (Arts & Humanities) - August 2007

We can sooth others, make them feel better and/or ok. But we could never make ourselves feel better and/or ok. If we, ourselves think about ours lives or current situation too much, we would often get lost in it. We'd be thinking, "Why am I thinking like this?" or "Am I only saying this to make me feel better?"

Does anyone ever get this feeling? I can't sleep thinking about it...?

It's hard to explain, but I have had the feeling for a long time that I'm not using my time to the best of my ability. I'm just wasting the days away looking striving towards something in the future, yet when 'the future' arrives all I do is waste time looking towards something else.
My situation is I have 2 months of freedom- I have a house, car, money. I can do (within reason) whatever I want. Yet all I do is waste my days on trivial things like shopping or housework. It's not a case of I-could-die-tomorrow-so-should... more like this feeling... is this what life is? I've wasted so much time and energy on fruitless exercises and why do I continue to do so?

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I need to work this out before I can sleep and there's probably no-one I know awake who I can talk this through with. It'd be interesting to hear anyone elses thoughts, whatever they are! Thanks.

how can anyone enjoy while others suffer?

I mean literally, while we watch tv and complain about how there is nothing on, others are working harder than we ever will to produce a mere dollar or less.

How do you think the human race came to exist?

If you're a creationist, why did God make monkeys? Why did he make monkeys if we were supposed to be perfect? Not that we are anymore.

If you're an evolutionist, then what is the meaning of life? What is the point of working so hard to make a living if in the end you will die and disappear forever? What is the point if there is no heaven in the end?

Or do you believe in something else?

I have an issue with trust?

a basic value... but how to trust?
i once heard "trust someone until they give you a reason to not trust them" probably something from the bible.
but i have been seeing things differently...why wait for them to deceive you? why just give them your trust in the blink of an eye? i think you should keep an eye on them until they have given much reason to earn your trust...
I also believe that once trust has been taken away, it can almost never be earned back.
If a deceitful person is given the chance to be trusted, they will of course deceive you, but a truthful person will expect trust for they are a truthful person...
is that the difference?
if someone expects trust they can be trusted?
it is so hard to see past lies..

who really is the heretic?..........?

The grand master of the Nights Templar was burned at the stake for acts of heresy. Was he truly a heretic or was the men who burned him the heretics instead?

Can one event change your future?

I'm not sure why, but I always have this theory that even if one small event that happened in your life didn't happen, your life would be completely different.
For example, if you hadn't have broken up with that friend, you would have stayed friends for ages, you would have probably met different people, you would have done different things with this friend, you wouldn't have met the friends you have now etc.

I just made that up, but does anybody else live by this "theory"? Or do you have another "theory" you live by??

if time travel is ever possible, would we know already?

if people proceed through the future without killing themselves off then eventually it would have to be possible
even if we are long gone from earth which could explain UFO's?
even if we were catious it seems like somebody would come back irresponsibly
unless people are flawless and do not disobey

i'm just curious what other people think
[aside from physical limitations because entirely new science may be known then]
