Again, deflection and deception rear their ugly heads.

Re: Dear God:
Aged One, every philosopher knows that ugly is only within the Beholder.
You would like to be a philosopher, wouldn’t you?
And if not, can you offer reasoning as to why not, and if you can't or won't, why?

Re: Dear God:
If 'you' find deflection and deception beautiful, or not ugly, then so be it. If I am not mistaken most people do not like deflection, nor deception.
Again, deflection and deception raise their heads, here.
'Trying to' deceive others is not the best trait you could have, here.
1. Being a 'philosopher', or not, has absolutely nothing at all to do with absolutely any thing, here.
2. you claimed that 'human nature' yearns to make a perfect moment last forever.
Now, once again, what you, individually and personally, may want to do is not necessarily 'human nature' at all.
If not human beings do what you claim is 'human nature', then what you claim is not 'human nature'.
End of story.
you can keep 'trying to' deflect, and deceive, but it will not work.
And, the fact that you have not yet provided absolutely any thing, which could back up and support your belief and claim, here, that 'human nature' yearns to make a perfect moment last forever only enforces the Truth that yearning to make a perfect moment last forever is not 'human nature' at all.

So, you blame the so-called "leaders", which you vote and elect in, for the wars you have to live and endure in, but take absolutely no responsibility at all for the Fact that you voted and elected 'them' in.
So, once more, 'we' have another prime example of 'these adults' blaming everything else, but "themselves' for the actual mess and wars that these people had to live in and endure through, back in the days when this was being written.
It is like they actually believed that they were not responsible for absolutely any of 'the mess', which they actually created and caused all of.
Once again you have missed the point absolutely, and completely.
Of course you voters are the cause and creators of what the 'elected' do and create.
How much more blatantly obvious could this get?

Re: Dear God:
Deflection is indeed an ugly thing, Age. And it is not Walker who is deflecting here. Walker asked you a specific question, and you refused to answer his very straightforward question by deflecting. Why did you do that, Age?
Re: Dear God:
Osho offered reasoning as to why he wasn't a philosopher.
It's not a cause for shame, Age.
Just thought you might need to offer your reasoning.

OK. fair enough. Then I suppose I must be as well. What should we do about it? How can we solve our issue of culpability so that we are no longer culpable?
