I tend toward Buddhist philosophy, without the teachings about reincarnation or deities. I also incorporate elements of secular humanism into the mix.
I have written on my computer scroll:
DAILY TO-DO LIST:
1. Engage in celebratory compassion.
2. Create something new.
3. Breathe deeply.

Humanism, existentialism, some solipsistic ideas, bits of sophistry, cynicism and a touch of nihilism.
Mostly it is my personal philosophy as it has eveolved, and continues to evolve, over the years on the basis of my experiences.

I took a intro phil last quarter, I don't remember much, but John Stewart Mill's Utilitarianism sounded like a good idea to me.

my own and others, the ones that make sense to me. i kind of compile them together in my mind. it's not a set system i adhere to, it's a fluid and dynamic set of internal guidelines that i adhere to not because i think it's the RIGHT way, but because it's what meshes with what i believe at the time. heh... maybe I'll write a book about it, lol.

I rather like the Epicurians, and Marcus Aurelius had some interesting things to say.

Yes... be good to others. That entails being generous even when you have nothing; being happy even when you are sad; apologizing even when you're not at fault; and understanding even when you haven't a clue.
Christians should try it sometime.

Yes. Life is short and it's the only one we've got, so make it a good one.
