| Question: Why does the simplest interaction or communication make my heart sore? Posted: 05 Oct 2014 08:52 AM PDT Why does the simplest interaction or communication make my heart sore? I don't have lingering expectations. I just enjoy the moment? Am I not a normal woman? If a man tAlks that fuel will last a long time for me . Thank you . Opinions please |
| Question: Do you ever find yourself wondering about someone "what are you like behind the facade?"? Posted: 05 Oct 2014 04:11 AM PDT I don't care what someone is like behind their facade. Whatever is there, they must think it's pretty awful or they wouldn't be pretending in the first place. I don't have enough interest in such things to wonder about them. Interacting with facades is excruciatingly slow and...no. I won't. I can't. They want something from everybody and I don't want anything from anybody, so interaction would be...impossible, actually, unless I stuck around long enough to get caught up in it and come to want something from them, like for them to stop doing what they're doing. They're being who they are. Who they are is one who wants to hide themselves. What business is it of mine? They're free to choose it, who am I to say they should stop? But just because I don't want to interfere with their freedom doesn't mean I enjoy their company. I also don't have anything against golf, but that doesn't mean I want to hang out at the golf course. |
| Question: What would happen if evil never existed? Posted: 05 Oct 2014 03:01 AM PDT I would not use words like 'evil' or 'sin' but I understand what you are trying to say ... I just don't accept that anything is that simple. As long as people want or need what other people have got or resent the fact they have it, there will be conflict. As long as there exists the philosophical difference between optimising good through personal gain or optimising good through collective gain, there will be conflict. We need to look at what we mean by 'good'. What does it actually mean in practice? Is it only doing things we have a right to do? If so, what if our rights conflict with the rights of others? They would see what we are doing as bad. Is it being good if we let all those in need come to our country and be supported by us, using our homes, schools, hospitals and food resources or would some people see that as a bad thing? Words are easy. To say good will defeat bad is easy. The problem is that these ideas lack substance. Life is never that black and white. While I agree we should all try to live a good and moral life, we have to accept there will be conflict when the 'moral' values of one group conflict with the 'moral' values of another or when the personal liberties of one conflict with the personal liberties of another. That doesn't make anyone 'evil' or a 'sinner' (though I accept there are very bad people out there). Rather it highlights the fact that conflict is inevitable and that civilised conduct is a way of managing it. |
| Question: How do shapes make our life orderly? Posted: 04 Oct 2014 10:23 PM PDT This is a good question of epistemology, but before shapes, you must consider forms. There is the 'shape' of a collie and of a jack russel, but the 'form' is of a canine. So it is with all things. What if there was no such thing as 'form', but only 'shape'? We would need to identify each shape with much more precision; each would be prone to our making many more mistakes in identification; and we would need many many more words. Without forms we could not say, "She is a tall woman." There would be no 'form' called 'woman'. |

| Question: Can beauty be a moral or ethical good? Posted: 04 Oct 2014 09:15 PM PDT Can beauty be a moral or ethical good? I don't really understand my essay prompt. "Argue either for or against the idea that beauty is a moral or ethical good" |
