Philosophy - October 2007

This is one question that I know that I cannot get a definitive answer to but how far can you stretch your imagination?
What was before the begining? Before the big bang, before all that empty space? If your answer is nothing then define nothing. A blank space I think apart from the jokers

By a material body I mean one composed of some dozen or so chemical elements and energy.There is no proof of anything else but don't you have hope that your awareness (your real self) is something substantially real.

I just a little curious to ask since I found my life meaningless and full of bad things come to my mind.I have read the book called The Purpose-driven life.But I still felt what I did is worthy to live on or not until the end of my life

What is the point of life? We're born, we grow, we achieve things, we move forward in age, and then we die. Just to lose all that which we have achieved. So does it not seem like there is just so much more than this? Something else after maybe?

I'm a freethinking futurist and I believe that it is inevitable that one day there will be no countries. As the world becomes smaller due to greater cooperation between nations, faster travel (we will be able to go anywhere we want in less than an hour in a couple of decades), and more intermingling between humans we will eventually become like a one wold culture...the culmination of a mixture of all the cultures. Sooner or later people will realize that nationalism will be counterproductive to the survival of our species and planet. Before you call me a delusional tree hugger think about it...it may take 200 years or more but it's gonna happen eventually.

Do you feel, (or you aware), that increased stress in daily living, & chaotic world affairs have contributed to heightened fears/responses to things that would not have impacted you in the past? I've lived in California most of my life, but the 5.6 earthquake at 8:04p tonight stirred me in a way no other earthquake has. I was rocked like a ship in a violent storm. Do you think that the conglomeration of concerns makes us more vulnerable to apprehension?

There are so many people who we either take for granted or just don't give a second thought to in life. It's only once they are gone that we begin to realize how special they were, how much they meant to us, and how lucky we were to have known them. We would give anything for one more minute with that person. Once they are gone the world seems like a more empty place, but while they were here we did not think this way. Why can't we value life before death occurs? Why do we never know what we have until it's gone?

"Myth provides us with absolutes in the place of ephemeral values and with a comforting perception of the world that is necessary to make the insecurity and terror of existence bearable."

I particularly don't understand the first half about replacing ephemeral values with absolutes... please help!

Do you think that other peoples brains work differently? Say if i saw the color red, and the same thing was blue in your head, which of us would be wrong? Do You think any of us see the physical world the same as the person next to you.

I'm not going to post everything, just a vague description and a question about it.

I've always been a deep thinker and asked "Why?". Do fleas know that their world (a dog or cat, maybe) is living? Maybe the earth is actually a living being. Maybe this is all a dream or a game. Is death really something to fear, or look forward to? That's how I feel... Just unsure and curious. I'm getting tired, though. I'm getting tired of trying to get people to understand me and I'm starting to fall back into Christianity and normal stuff like that because I'm just tired of thinking. Is it wrong to go against my beliefs because I'm tired of trying to convince myself? Or maybe I am actually beginning to believe in Christianity again? My mind is very complex... You might call me weird or whatever, lol, but I really just dont know anymore. I don't know what I think anymore!!!
