I need to hear something uplifting... because the only thing that's uplifting in my life right now are the elevators in my building.

She loves him because he loves her.
He loves her because she loves him.

Can you apply philosophy, or a specific philosophical (not psychological) term, to define the basis for their supposed bliss? It's there and it's applicable to life beyond their lives.

Do you see anything wrong with this relationship? Or is everything spiffy?

(See what happens when you let yourself get bored? I think i'm going to go write the great American novel now. Thank those of you who have played along.)

This is for fun, people! Please look at it that way!

She’s always complaining that he leaves the toilet seat up after taking a pee. She claims if he were respectful to her he would put it back down after he’s finished.

He says she’s being just as disrespectful expecting him to leave the toilet seat down because he would have to raise it again to use it. And he says if she were really respectful to him she would raise it after she was finished using the toilet.

Can philosophy be applied to each or either viewpoint?

Have fun.

She complains to him all the time because he is always leaving doors open or forgetting to close them: cabinet doors, bathroom doors, closet doors, etc.

His retort is ‘Why should I worry or bother with closing them when we’ll just have to open them again?’ I’m just saving us time.”

Sounds simple. But is it? Imagine this as an issue beyond the home. You want to apply your vision of philosophy to this argument?

For some reason, we know more about celebrities, then we know about literature (People Mag does not count as reading literature) or abour ourselves. How many things do you know about Britney Spears? Michael Jackson? O.J. Simpson?
Now, how much do you know about Shakespeares works? Lyrics from a local band? Languages (Jibbrish and pig latin do not count!) (Pig latin is not latin either!)?? Just something i have been thinking about a lot recently.

If nothing is something, and everything is something, does that meant that everything is nothing or nothing is everything?

A friend of mine once argued:

Wisdom is a "specialized" knowledge which is a direct result
of a posteriori which means it comes from experience. However intelligence is accumulated through experience as well, and there can be no other real alternatives. Think about studying for instance, It is an activity which is being experienced as well, but is regarded as the soul source of intelligence. So wisdom can't be in a separate category to intelligence, if so it would be a 'specialized' form of intelligence, but intelligence none-the-less.

Also if wisdom is the tautological (logically correct) application of knowledge, the position of having the ability to know how to do this can be said to be intelligence because knowledge regardless of context is knowledge and the position of obtaining knowledge is intelligence. So they are not separate things.

All you have to do is embrace sin and immorality. What's the big deal? Any idiot could do that.

Just how much should you trust your intuition about the relationship and that person?

And if you have to let go because of distance issues, should you hold on loosely or let fate do its' magic?

If one lets go of love, should they assume that it will come back to them, whether in the form of the same person, or some else?
