Philosophy Now Forum

Thanks for the welcome SpheresOfBalance.
I appreciate the sense of humor and the puns. Thanks for explaining further about the philosophy forum.

Hello The Voice of Time. Great to read your views. It has got me thinking about a few things - especially about viewing philosophy from a different approach to what I have been doing. I am still a fan of psychology because that is what I have studied. However, since visiting the philosophy camp, I h...

Hello thedoc . First of all, I have also thought about the center bit as such. Originally, the central hill was in the actual landscape. But I painted the scene a few years later, and from memory. As a result, I subconsciously fashioned the hill as such. I did not realize it until about a month afte...

Hello thedoc and Blaggard , thanks for your replies. To get back to the post. I have, like most people, looked for the truth in books and others places, like -friends, gurus, uni, and even in philosophy, but always came up short to me satisfactions. Mind you, to be satisfied with 'what is true' more...

Thanks The Voice of Time. These are stereotypes and I wouldn't give them the benefit of truth. What many old-time psychologists (think psychoanalysis for instance) have failed to understand is that human minds are all unique, and it's very difficult to keep their behaviours inside "types" ...

Hello The Voice of Time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how the mind creates philosophy, and how you put it into a very interesting story. I wish to simply express a few thoughts that came to mind while reading your post. I am not sure if it is of any value to you. You never know, you might put...

Very interesting to see how a thread goes from 'Insanity of a ruler' to a debate about 'political correctness'. Is political correctness the mainspring to the insanity of a ruler?

Anyways, tell us about your "philosophy", and your learnings (an overview). My philosophy and learnings? My personal viewpoint and life lessons are still under construction. My story about the constructed philosophy (beliefs) is long-winded as I am nearly 60 years of age. I will try and c...

Hello The Voice of Time. Yes, I can see your point. To explain myself a bit more. Much of my philosophy comes from the branch of psychology. I tend to use that approach to search for 'what is true'. I guess it all depends on how far we want to go down the rabbit hole. The deeper we go the more fearf...

Added further note to my post Sun Mar 30, 2014.

Thanks thedoc , and WanderingLands , for the welcome. I am reasonably new to forums. I have noticed that many threads tend to have branches on them. Some of these have good fruit, while others have already dropped off. I guess the main thing about forums, is that we all wish to communicate something...

There is an old saying, 'the truth will set you free.' Aside from a depression caused by biochemical imbalance, the truth about psychological depression could guide a person away from feeling depressed. First of all, let us consider that all psychological tensions are centered around the belief of n...

Hello Yahadreas. In saying the sentence, "What I am saying now is a lie". The man was telling the truth up to the word now - because he is going to say something. But after the word now , it becomes a lie; because If he is going to tell a lie, then he is telling the truth about telling a l...

Hello Proud Cosmopolitan. Interesting story. However, my take on this is 'do we have to lie? If we are caught up with stories about what is a Jew, what is a Nazi, and what is safeguarding; then what is a lie becomes relevant. But if our reference was just who we really (the truth) are - human 'being...

Hello 'The Voice of Time'.
....I'd prefer to know the quality of life factor as well that any one activity might give me
Love the love that loves you.
