. When I comes down to it, when it's all said and done, mans ultimate purpose is to observe. In the end we are a complex interchange of hydrogen. Nothing more. There is an old saying; if you leave hydrogen alone long enough it will eventually develop language and then, eventually hydrogen will obse...

If you're evil it is ^^ But no, good is not just another way of saying approve of. Approval is approval, good is good. People can approve of things which are not necessarily good, because in their world evil may be a necessity. An example of this are the people who thinks Hiroshima was necessary, t...

Perhaps "is good" is simply another way of saying "I approve of it". Is it possible to say: It is good but I do not approve of it. Or: I approve of it but it is not good. Or: I approve of it but it is bad. I approve of it when I do it to you but I disapprove of it when you do it...

You cannot judge the goodness of anything by abstracting it from the whole of the world. Things are good because of their relations to the rest of the world, not for the fulfilment of any given set of requirements. I disagree.... the individual knows from his own personal experience what is good. i...

Buddha is said to have a pretty solid formula if any. But it doesn't make too much sense to most people. THE EIGHTFOLD PATH is as complicated as the ten commandments that Jesus made into two commands. of right thinking and right doing. even famed stand up comic George Carlin noted that the ten comm...

Several times due to work i have undergone gov'mt screening.. i worked in a catholic school teaching computer science.] Yet...

There is no possibility about it.

You will die and you will cease to exist.

sorry but the law of the conservation of energy declares one does not cease to exist when they die, they just change energy form.

I wonder if we are the same just because we are looking at the same picture? one person might be thinking I hate that woman she reminds me of my ex I could just strangle that biatch another person might think what a beautiful woman looks just like my daughter still another could be imagining having ...

Could I have chosen differently than what I actually chose? At first glance, this question seems silly, as it feels very obvious that I have the power to choose as I please and therefore could have chosen differently than what I had actually chose. This inner power, that I call free-will, allows me...

. Can this be a true statement? Can this be a true philosophy? . You can have any philosophy you want and choose to like whatever you want. for me that statement is NOT true.
