What do you think about this philosophy: If it's not growing, then it's dying?

Answer 1

It's all people oriented, what you say growth may be a step towards death for somebody else ... THAT which is Truth probably has no beginning nor any end. May its hidden in ourselves may be as a latent thing, which requires some chaff removal. Nethi, Nethi to reach the hidden fire or visions that's there in everybody ... am i complicating things ... can't help that's what jk's habit of Nethi Nethi ...

Answer 2

Any sharp dichotomy between life and death incorporates the propositions of questions of practicality and idealism. This view gives primacy of one being the sponsor of the other, through conscious expression.

Were unconscious expressions to thrive, a diaspora
of complex organisations and functions may form to question the basic supposition of dichotomy and its definition, and in so doing form new or re-associations.

"If it's not..then it's" is contemporary rhetorical line of questioning but an easily understood illustrative model to tackle issues therein, by removing variables to lay bare the perceived vestiges of the matters at heart.

Answer 3

It does not refer only to physical growth. A sixteen year old girl is still growing inside.
If it is not growing (IE learning) it is dying.
...Might be....
Because if you aren't learning than you are just moving pointlessly toward death... dying.
Yep. I think that is right.
:)

Answer 4

its not completely true because think about it: a 16 year old girl 5' and stays that way, just b/c shes not growing doesnt mean shes dying.

Answer 5

I don't agree with it ... We grow one day closer to death every day we live from the day we are born until the day we die. So we're born to die. Sounds kinda morose, but when you think about it - it's the truth.

Answer 6

When we see growth through prescription thoughts than it would be as you say.

Answer 7

Depends on what you're talking about I guess...
