Philosophy - December 2007

When someone answers a question and the first thing that comes out of their mouth refers to drugs and smoking. Are they drug addicts and drugs are what is really on their mind?

I am wondering if you can or if it is valid. If ones intentions to eat an apple are just because one is hungry. But then as you eat it you decide to eat it because you want to nourish yourself. Does the latter intention prove better or is it always your first intention. Is the meaning of intention what is first.

Sorry if I am confusing you it isn't such a good analogy but please try to answer.

Now I realize the mockery behind the Coo Coo Clock.
It certainly works like clock-work. It simply goes round and around, endlessly.
Its only purpose is time and what is life?
Time.
Everything else about us is an artificial and superficial distraction.
Ironically, this world is tailored to mankind's survival and destruction.
1. Nothing is perfect.
2. Perfection is hollow.
3. Perfection is pure.
4. Perfection does not exist.
5. Life is a Perfect circle.
(you mean like a "0" / zero or are you implying life is a clock???)

-An imperfect circle, is not always a circle, but always cycles.
-Even an imperfect circle's purpose is clear, to connect everything together and become whole.

What is your purpose? Scared of death? Need meaning? Love or hate? And why?

It seems that nowadays If u want to be rich, u have to work like a bitc*h and won't enjoy life, and if you want to enjoy life and be happy, u probably won't be as succesful or rich. Is it better to be happy with what u got or that ur family receives more education, material stuff, trips to other countries, cars, and all that??
Also, talking about evolution: Are the forces of evolution ironically acting against our desire of enjoying life? (i mean.. all this "struggle of the fittest/strongest" and all that, isn't a good thing at all)

The interesting statement was made in response to one of my Q's. Reposting it is the only way I know to discuss it within the YA Q&A format(Sadly said).

Stephen J Gould made this statement concerning the theory of evolution: "...Thus, if you wish to understand patterns of long historical sequences, pray for randomness."

But random is not a property of evolution at all, it is a statement about our lack of knowledge. Consider the number sequence, 3, 8, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3, 3, 8, 3, 2, 2, ... That sequence seems random but when I tell you that it is numbers from pi, the sequence is no longer random because you can now predict the next numbers. It was random as long as we were ignorance of the facts. So Gould is saying to understand evolution, pray for ignorance. Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the TOE when we have to pray for ignorance?

I think the pesonality is just a invisible tumor in the brain.
what do you think?
this world has been created for you to believe that you will be doing something meaningfull but nor for you just for them, just as an example watching a movie about the military and they seem so happy and strong and it is just a simple lie for people who watch this kind of movies think to themselves they will be a heroes without knowing that they are jus being puppets for some families who are the ones that want that piece oh land.
and this happen in any country.

look at point of you nose for half hour and you will find a secret.
I did not invented it is like that.
and look because there ir much more

Remember that this is the philosophy category and the subject is philosophy. It is not about just anything that just happens to come to mind. This is a thinker'sQ and the subject is focused on deeply meaningful matters that are related to the meaning and purpose of your life. It should be something you as a thinker would like to pass on (or teach) to others or alternatively something you would appreciate learning if someone stopped to tell you!. Hopefully it would be something that could be considered objective rather than purely subjective.

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

==============================================


Love took up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands; Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.
Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with might; Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.
==============================================


I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, all the Happiest Holidays and all the luck the New Year could possibly bring to you.

The Game must go on, although it's not that hard to find the right answer for this one, the explanation might not be so simple, so it too pays $1000 USD.

Thank you and good luck!

All these six billion people have different opinions, characteristics, professions, religious deceptions, taste,etc. so I am little bit confused about my own position among these people.
