| Question: Am i wrong for i agree to the views on women of plato? Posted: 31 Oct 2015 05:51 AM PDT I'm going to be a bit more lenient with you than the other answers. We, as a society, have evolved considerably since Plato. While he was a very wise philosopher, some of his ideas were still influenced by the culture of his time, which we today view as dated. So I'm not going to say you're wrong; everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Just know that your views are not inline with what most people would consider decent or acceptable. |
| Question: Is pursuing wisdom and philosophy the best thing ever or the most foolish thing ever? Posted: 31 Oct 2015 01:55 AM PDT I guess that would depend on what sort of wisdom you were pursuing. There is the wisdom and philosophy of the world and then there is the wisdom and philosophy that comes from our Creator. Wisdom is "the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting." Knowledge, on the other hand, is "information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance." Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but not the other way around. One can be knowledgeable without being wise. Knowledge is knowing how to use a gun; wisdom is knowing when to use it and when to keep it holstered. Because I am a Christian, I take the view that worldly wisdom is foolishness in God's eyes. Wisdom is a gift from God. James 1:5 states, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." God blesses us with wisdom in order for us to glorify Him and use the knowledge we have of Him. The book of Proverbs is perhaps the best place in the Bible to learn of biblical wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 speaks of both biblical knowledge and wisdom: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, / but fools despise wisdom and instruction." To fear the Lord is to start on the path to knowledge, and God can then begin to provide us with wisdom through Christ, who the Bible says is wisdom itself: "It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30). The world looks up to science and philosophers, and looks down upon Christianity and the Bible. As a Christian, I seek to pursue the wisdom that comes from above. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths." Verse 5 is a complementary pair of commands. We are told, positively, to trust the Lord and, negatively, not to trust our own understanding. Those two things are mutually exclusive. In other words, if we trust in the Lord, we cannot also depend upon our own ability to understand everything God is doing. First Corinthians 13:12 says, "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known." We only see part of the picture God is painting. If we are to truly trust Him, we have to let go of our pride, our programs, and our plans. Even the best-laid human plans cannot begin to approach the magnificent sagacity of God's plan. "For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:25). Knowledge memorizes the Ten Commandments; wisdom obeys them. Knowledge learns of God; wisdom loves Him. That is the wisdom I pursue. |

| Question: Why do you forget about everything else when you are in pain? Posted: 30 Oct 2015 11:24 PM PDT I'm sorry that you are suffering. Pain can focus the mind in a very special way. It is something you can learn from though. You might wish to evaluate your priorities in life in the same focused way, it sometimes provides a distraction. In the meantime keep warm, wear the softest soled shoes you have, don't punch the wall, and, most importantly, don't make the mistake of taking your pain out on others. |
| Question: What does it mean when life is a total scam? Posted: 30 Oct 2015 09:44 PM PDT What does it mean when life is a total scam? ~~~ "We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are!" What does it mean when your life not really your life? ~~~ It means that you have achieved schizophrenia! *__- |
