Philosophy - September 2007

if ur kid asked u "why should i be good?" u'll probably answer "because there's the police". This answer seems sufficient to the atheist, but if the kid continued to say "but if i'm Superman, why then should i be good?" "It's good to be good" but why then shouldn't it also good to own the world. This question can only be answered "There's a God who's infinitely more powerful, and u'll always lose". Only the logic that u can never succeed is a sufficient answer

You've ruined someone's life so bad and there is NOTHING you could do to fix it? How can I just move on especially when I'm so used to fixing things that I've screwed up especially that's what makes me feel better what I did fixing them. Now how am I supposed to feel better? I'm so crushed. : ( It's like the drunk driver who've killed a mother's baby boy. There is nothing that driver can do to bring that child back. What do you do in situation's like that?

If ethics are required for peace and harmony then how do we address the different ethical and moral perspectives of the world.

For example, India and Pakistan emerged as two countries party because under the Muslim faith, the faithful were instructed to destroy Hindu places of worship. They were being moral by their code, but clearly this did not lead to peace.

As an other example, we have the many Christian religions that are at odds with the Jewish faith.

Or, we have largely theistic nations that are at odds with largely atheistic nations.

just deciding on a simple life and you felt so much more relieved and happier as a person?
OR did you eventually feel bored and go back to your list of goals, accomplish them gradually, overcoming ANY obstacles in your path even tho you had to pay a price? was it worth it?

Why do We Live? Why??? Why Do We Come to Life on Earth? I Mean... Why do we Live...Then Die? Why Not Just Kill Your Self Now? But Then, You want to Enjoy your life to. What I Never got was Why do We Live Then Die? I Always Wanted to Live For Ever. But i guess that wont happen. Life Is Not a Chosen Option... its a Given Option... But It Is a Option To END it or NOT. So You Chose END It! or KEEP ON GOING!

If you believe in God, then you believe he created the beginning of Earth and humans and etc.
However, if you believe in Evolution, you believe astroids and stuff created Earth and dinosaurs were there and we evolved from monkeys (By the way, dinosaurs came before monkeys, right? But anyways, then who came first: Cavemen or Adam and Eve?

I have heard one too many times about who or what causes it. But I do not think I ever heard why it is. I have my own idea about that and it makes staying in this world plausible. I have met many persons who show a lot of kindness. I have brief moments of good feeling. Good events and things come my way often. These things surely make life worthwhile.. but still, 'why' all the crap. As I said, I have my idea of why, but what are yours if you have an idea or ideas about it also. Have a good night.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.

And do you believe you will receive it and do you feel the joy that it brings?

Do you know the secret? Are you living it?

It works...it's working...so far so good.

You really can have anything you want...believe. Live with passion. Wonderful things can happen!

Peace.
:)
