What do these philosophies mean to you? (Philosophies 11-14, post 4/4)?

Question

(This is a series of four posts, look for the rest of the list!)

Backstory ---

I'm a 15 year old teenager that is an observer of people, and one thing I try to do is see what the following means to others. These were written over a period of two years by me.

Tell me your opinion on each one individually, or do the whole list!

----------

11... You have control over one person, yourself

12... There's nothing stopping you from doing what you want to do except for yourself

13... This world is a world of opinions, there is no true fact, only a set of generally accepted ideas.

14... Don't go above the influence, go beyond it

Answer 1

11- Yes unless you break a law then Judge, Jail, etc...... have control over you.
12- No. Money has allot to do with it. and so does common sense. for instance if you wanted to fly and started flapping your arms and fully expecting to lift off the ground in flight. That would be stupid, but the fact that humans are not designed to fly would keep you from doing what you want to.
13- No. Gravity is not an opinion it's a fact.
14- does not really make sense

Answer 2

11. I agree. You have control over yourself all the time......You are the only one who controls your actions.....other people don't control you......unless YOU listen to them and do what they say...
12. True. I have found this true because I wonder and think all the time...You want to do something you do it ...You dont then you don't do it.
13.Well I think everything in this world is complex.....and yeah there may not be facts........only accepted opinions.....but in the end you'll never know....
14. Well I think if you go beyond the influence is good, but if you go beyond...its even way better! But you should always try to do the most you can

Answer 3

11. Yes, but some people will allow themselves to be controlled for enough money. They are called employees.

12. There are people whose job is to stop people from doing things they want to do.

13. That depends on your definition of fact. This is the same thing as saying that you can't truly know anything.

14. This is one of those statements that can mean anything you want it to mean.

Answer 4

im 14 and im just struggling from falling apart again. but i have learned not to live up to the standards of human beings, live for your self, and what makes you happy with respect to the world around you. you will never know what this world is. everything is a mystery.

Answer 5

I agree,,, we cannot change the whole world,,, but we CAN change ourselves,,,
