Philosophy - September 2007

Isn't it true that any sane man will refuse to go into a fire willilngly and voluntarily the second time after they've been accidentally and unexpectedly burnt once before? So why and how does one continue on a preset path that is very similar to the previous road once more with any kind of positive outlook, or hope, or strength? Consider the first time, one did indeed have these and had faith in oneself and was willing to face up to whatever was ahead no matter how challenging, only to be completely destroyed.

Let's say person M (for murder) and person A (for adultery) are married. Person M treats person A very well, but person A has an affair anyway. Person M finds out, and is so mad that person M kills person A.

Which is worse? Person A's adultery, or person M's murder of person A? Despite the question's title, the question isn't whether or not it's entirely justified, but just which is worse.

Suppose person M had some reason for not wanting to just divorce person A. Maybe person M didn't want to have to lose or share custody of the kids.

Do you believe what goes around comes back around? I know I do. I just want other peoples perspectives. And if anything, if you throw positive thoughts out for things such as getting the career you want, passing a test, getting that significant other,etc..will you be able to receive that?

Of course, I consider the A's you get are either equally important or more important as the asking of the Q's. My focus is on the internal feedback you get when you formulate and ask the Q's before you actually get any A's to your Q's. Please, can you include in your A how many Q's you have asked at YA in support of your A to my Q? That datum would indicate the degree of experience you have formulating Q's at YA, an activity which I think YA penalizes while rewarding only the A's.

Context comment: While I admit that I believe asking Q's is more important than posting A's, hence my Q to those who think or believe as I do, I am focused on knowing if you believe asking Q's is beneficial to you and your explanation of how so.

And for persons like him or her? Please remember, I'm asking it in the philosophy category and I'd appeciate philosophy-based answers. This is not a flip Q as it goes to the heart of the process of all inquiry by Q&A (& Discussions which is currently not allowed by the YA format) esp in philosophical inquiry.

My point is that person always has right to choose. There may be sad consequences but that doesn't deny the right of choice itself.
Do you agree?

insecure about his/her hair and skin and lacks the confidence to try to make new friends, like sit at a nice table with several classmates their own age? Let's say he or she is a sophmore and was new as a freshman in high school, and only has a few friends. Btw this child is really good looking, but is devasted for they felt like it was the time that they truly looked good but bam! a haircut (just bangs but felt like they used to look better without) and some acne. What do you think? It is right to just let the child be despise their complains (hopefully they learn in time) or help them out?
