Philosophy - December 2007

Being genuinely productive means i.e.
- moving technology forward via invention & implementation thus increasing leisure time
- extend life such as general practitioner or medical research
- garbage personnel dumping daily trash to prevent buildup of trash thus decreasing risk for diseases

etc...

Do you concur the 80% left marginally if at all contribute in a productive manner? Are we in denial when we can not see or admit our jobs are useless? If our jobs are useless, does this definition translate to our own identity or existence?

How much people actually leave a legacy they want to leave?

All these people who proclaim to "live life to the fullest" how much of them really actually do? I feel that to be a very generic saying to make, because with the culture we live in, everything seems to be very superficial. And god knows that instant gratification-has become a poison. I think people tend to live very sloppy in this day and age actually. Especially when it comes to relationships.

So how much people do you think leave a legacy they want or actually found what they wanted?

Some days I imagine myself adopting kids and having a family. Other days I want to flirt with girls. I am straight so I don't know where this idea of me playing around with girls came from. I guess it's my environment? I want to be different. I want to be heard..attention!! Some days I want to loose all control and other days I want to study my *** off. Some days I want to hang out with punks and emo kids and other days I want to help those who are in emotional distress. I'm wasting time right now. I can be improving my english right now.

All thoughts and concepts manifest in the mind.

If the mind is immaterial than all the world (concept "world") is immaterial. If it is material than all the world to include the metaphysical (concept "metaphysical) is metaphysical.

i mean, it would seem like it would be painless...unless of course your fighting or something with all kinds of battle wounds....

i suppose if i were ripped apart in war i would sit there and just wait to die...if knew there was no hope...just keep telling myself it will come soon and i will be free....

but why are people so afraid to die?

some tell-tale activity, nevertheless. Is there a COMPETITION of some kind taking place OUT THERE, between some people who ask questions?
If so, what gain, do you propose to make?
And if your search for a gain, results as positive.
What does that Gain, then Make you?

Sometimes,depending on what it is, I am willing to become flexible just to fit in. No drugs, sex or violence. I've never had a group of friends. My friends are always changing. I have interests, but I haven't found that interest group. Am I setting my expectations to high? These things don't last long. I want to belong somewhere. I want to feel accepted. I want to be HAPPY. EXPERIENCE PURE HAPPINESS!!! I am in college now. I want to feel that I have people to back me up.
