"I was in math class when I had learned that a plane had just flown into the World Trade Center.

For the first time that day (possibly that week) I felt awake, and alive.

Sadly, I think my reaction was that of excitement. I appreciated this break from the average, mundane, numb school day.

I could lie to myself and say it wasn't so. But it was.

Am I ashamed? Yes."

I just read this on www.vinecrawler.com and it made me so sad.

What do you guys think? Did you share a similar experience?

" Where areas, our argument shows that the power and capacity of learning exists in the sould already; and that just as the eye was unable to turn from darkness to light without the whole body, so too the instrumentof knowledge can only by the movement of the whole sould be turned from the world of becoming into that of being, and learn by degrees to endure the sign of being, and of the brightest and best of being, or in other words, of the good."

This essay is confusing and hard to understand. can someone help me figure these things please? thank you

Is there a truth out there that is only dependant on its own true existence, a truth affecting everything no matter how much anyone denies it even exists?
Just because you believe it, does it make it any more real of a truth?
How can anyone know that they are actually right?
How do you know you are not fatally wrong?
Don't just answer without thinking like you probably will.
Please.

Am I selfish to want to act my age?
I sometimes wish that I didn't have all these responsibilities... I don't have any kids, but I am taking care of my family. I work full time and go to school. But sometimes I just want to go away and get lost in a bunch of bad ideas.
I don't want sympathy because I hate pity.... But I feel so bad for wanting to just run away, in a sense, and get crazy and let go and just do something totaly crazy. Like run off to Vegas and not worry about bills, mortgage payments, no making ends meat and how the hell I will pay for books.....
Is that selfish?
why, do you think, can't I stop thinking this way?


Just wanted to add that I don't regret helping out and I don't resent my family, but I don't know why I am feeling this way.......

This is the Q that I asked: "From an ethical & a logical point of view, do U think *trust should be based on Truths or on feelings of Love?" Give *reasons to support your particular Answer. I see these type of Q 's posted in the philosophy category all the time and I have well-defined thoughts on the matter. Focus on the Q asked and not the asker.

Tell me why in just about every show/movieor book people make robots look bad and dangerous...I mean not every robot will want to kill you or make a riot like some mad people (if they were programed to have there own opinion) wouldn't they be just like your reguler people in the world. yes some are killers, some or racist but come they can not be all bad.
