Philosophy - September 2007

I've asked this before and I got some interesting answers. Now I would like more people to answer if they want to. I guess you could say that what other people were thinking put a smile on my face because they confided into a complete stranger (me) and I don't know how this benefits anyone but it's interesting. Here is my actual prompt for anyone who'll take it: Just type on the computer about anything. Yes, anything you can think of even if it means nothing to this world. I once wrote about how I liked the way Bogart (Rick) in Casablanca picked up a wine glass without hardly acknowledging it to how I think that we should have machines that listen to our thoughts and we cold just have the machine type out every thought that we want whenever we want so that we could remember our brilliant thought later. (Makes no sense right?) I would like to know other peoples weird and completely non-sensical thoughts. You don't have to be articulate or try to impress anyone. Just be you, type away!

If you can visualize something and believe it will happen, will it make it happen.

And furthermore...does anyone care? 5 stars, these days can mean so many different things.

The Hd experience, as well as the shrimp net of intelligence ...and then the counter of same being dropped 3 fold on unsuspecting 'all american girls' can, in reality, cause the 'all american' part to play shadow to the UGLY reality of what living under the scope can FOR REAL do to a girl.

When will it be enough? And furthermore...hasn't anyone taken into consideration that the monkey reactions are based on LOVE rather than on rationale logic based assessments?

Or is that the twist integrated with the intention of causing the monkey to fail?

disclaimer: no snide, dull tool remarks please. you either get this line of thought or you don't. Only getters are requested to reply.

When it seems like the world was conspiring against you, and things weren't going right, did you ever beleive your dreams are just that, dreams? Just nothing more than a wish that won't come true?

I think life is meant to be celebrated, so you should seize every opportunity. if you do that, the bad things don't seem so bad. what do you think?

I need a picture of them for philosophy class. Just someone who shares the view that time isn't real, just a way of measuring.

We have to write a sonnet about being "heartbroken" for English class. Can you tell meif it is too vulgar to submit (its based on one of my relationships).. It has to be 14 lines. here it is:

Day and night, night and day.

Thinking about you and what you did.

Thinking of all the games we would play.

Now that I'm succesful how can I celebrate it?

You are no longer here!

In your eyes I never made it.

How can I transmit my troubled mind?

Now its time to reflect.

Your nose is full of cocaine, its over, too bad you could not abstain; I will not sit here in disdain.

Your face, I will not remember.

Its time to move on and you were WRONG

Like Wyclef, I'll be gone until November.

But look at the bright side, your girlfriend is still showing me her thong.

My soulmate passed 9 weeks ago. I have had no signs from him and I desperately want one. What could work, or have you had any experiences with communicating?

a cross we carry is a symbol of noble sacrifice..
but an armour represents something we keep for safety...
but often keeps us from moving as well....

Can you tell me something that keeps your SAFE but always keeps you IMMOBILIZED in LIFE?

and built a skatepark in the woods...began to build actually....
I left the project on hold for a while and today my wooden planks are gone and made into a little hut a little further away, a construction that could serve as a ramp just like I wanted to build. 6ft tall, well built, all you have to do is make a slope and you've got a great quarter pipe. I'm so troubled....what could this be? Could the villagers be making fun of me or something??

1. Is it justifiable to kill, maim, or cripple someone to protect yourself or others? Why or why not?

2. What sort of treatment should be allowed to illegal immigrants? Why or why not?

3. How much compassion should be shown to people who knowingly and willingly act without care for other people, or with hypocrisy?

We as humans define our world by our beliefs and conceptions. If we believe the world if flat and the sun revolves around us, then it does, it will not matter what the truth is to us it will be as we believe. So if this is the case why then have we convinced ourselves that a fairy tale type (not mirror but type) love is impossible?

The fairy tales written down, not our modern sanitised children’s versions but originals, were based on the oral tradition of the previous generations, in effect on the legends of the generations that came before. All legends contain a grain of truth, at least one single fact that the legend is based on with the rest being an attempt to explain this fact. All creation myths are built on this, the fact - something exists, the legend - trying the explain why. All legends have some form of truth to them, a basic story line fleshed out with extraordinary things to make sure it is remembered. A fairy tale is based on a legend, in effect it is a legend.

So why then is it that we (or at least most) believe, if all legends have some truth and most fairy tales are legends, that it is impossible to have a fairy tale type love in reality? What is it about ourselves, as adults in this world, that makes us so cynical and jaded that we believe that it is impossible?

AND

Is there anyway to reverse this cynicism and ‘jading’?

Please explain your answers.

Thanks.
