My name is John. I train and ride horses for a living, but have been somewhat philosophical my whole life. I use the term loosely, as it is more a broad spectrum curiosity, rather than a specific focus on the discipline of academic philosophy.
This is an essay I wrote, trying to tie various concepts together.

While I've discussed different parts on different forums, it hasn't been possible to find a conversation to explore the underlaying foundation that I'm trying to examine.

Re: Hi
Welcome John,
I read your essay, you write very well. I agree with some of the things you have said, and considering space, time, money and our earthly role all in one was impressive. I like the idea of linking a series of ideas into one central set of living truths but as a philosopher in my own way i cant really agree that its worth anything but personal satisfaction in the moment written. Im not saying i dont agree with your ideas or that they arent 'right', they may very well be. I guess ive just reached the stage now where everything has no truth or false meaning, i suppose this is zen philosophy.
Anyway welcome, i think training horses would be very rewarding, and for what its worth i am impressed.
Kind regards

Re: Hi
Can you briefly tell us what exactly are you trying to "examine".brodix wrote:

Three lines only, please.
By the way, welcome to forum.
I might grill you later.
