I have a formal education in Philosophy, and I find dialogues and philosophic texts fascinating. I'm a tattoo artist, and a musician, and those two outlets have an inexorable link to my education and to the processes of intellect. I have met others who seek to practice in some way, lessons of thought through expression. Do you think that sentiment represents the enevitable path that one must take to satisfy the conflict of thought versus action?

Yes... but the trouble is that the philosophy keeps changing with every important event in my life!!

I try to actualize on my philosophy mainly through educating others about all aspects of philosophy: logic, ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology.
But I think everyone lives their life according to their own personal ethics, unless they're mentally ill or incompetent.
In a way, religion is a kind of "applied philosophy". I'm an atheist, though, so I apply my reason to all things.

I am a teacher, a translator, and also a business person. I hold my own philosophy that : live to learn and learn to live; when you learn, teach and when you get, give; plus a great philosophy that I have learnt from Paulo Coelho on his novel The Alqemist : that when you want something, the whole universe will unity to help you.
I love to collect quotations from wide range characters of people. Those philosophies above are only few of my collection that I try to hold in my daily life because they are tightly connected to all of my works above.
I found the last philosophy above has a great influence on me. I believe it and I have proven it true. Scientifically I also believe on what they call 'the power of mind'. When we want something badly for bad or good things, realize it or not, our mind will lead us to achieve them, to make them real, to make them come true. Therefore I don't believe on whatsoever is called 'coincidence' or 'luck'.
There is such no coincidence or luck in this life actually because we have led ourselves to things around us in past, present, or future time. Paulo Coelho just expressed it in poetic words.

Rob Edwards once said "Taking things philosophically is easy if they don't concern you"...
..I have nothing against philosophy ... i actually like it ... but just some thing to think about!
