| Question: Stop being a good person? Posted: 01 Nov 2015 08:12 AM PST I am not religious, nor an atheist. I just figure answer to such questions are beyond my pay grade. However, I do not like to see people suffer, even though that seems to be the bulk of life for all species. What I do believe is that being respectful of all life, kind and accepting will one day free us from our animal nature and open a door to a bright future we will otherwise forfeit My problem is I have lived this philosophy and all I am is a mark for others to exploit and injure. A man who others seemed to respect and love once told me my problem is I am too nice. That only assholes survive in this world. I often think about this advice and being an asshole, but think I should not let the world change me. But what is the point if it helps no one and only hurts me? |
| Question: What is the meaning of life? Posted: 01 Nov 2015 05:59 AM PST The meaning of life, or the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?", is a philosophical and spiritual conception of the significance of living or existence in general. The question seeking the meaning of life can also be expressed in different forms, such as "What should I do?", "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", and "What is the purpose of existence?" or even "Does life exist at all?" There have been a large number of proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The search for life's meaning has produced much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. The meaning of life as we perceive it is derived from our philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness. Many other issues are also involved, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question "What is the meaning of my life?" |

| Question: The more knowledge we have the unhappier we are? Posted: 31 Oct 2015 08:44 PM PDT The original quotation is, "ignorance is bliss"; meaning that if you don't know about bad things that could happen to you, then you're not upset by them, ths you're happier than if you did know it all. My version is, "If you're not Angry, Cynical, &/or Depressed, you're just not INFORMED!" |
| Question: Morality does not exist? Posted: 31 Oct 2015 12:13 PM PDT Morality does not exist as an objective reality, but rather as a human construct. Unless you are a nihilist, morality exists for you. As for the following statement of yours, any revolution that is to be successful requires a clearly defined end goal. However, when one defines a revolution's goal and pursues it as a newly-forged revolutionary, a new morality is created. In the words of Sergey Nechayev, "for him [the revolutionary], morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution; immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way". This very concept of a revolutionary creating a "new morality" is at the very core of Nietzsche's Ubermensch and Nechayev's revolutionary. Therefore, in rejecting "morality" as you know it, you are recreating it in another form. Morality is a very broad term, and encompasses all human nature. Is Western morality meaningless, subjective, irrational, and harmful to progress? Yes. Is living dogmatically by societal morals created by others, as opposed to creating one's own through a central goal grounded in informed opinions (as an Ubermensch would do), harmful to self-actualization and the existential goal of being an individual human? Yes. Is the whole concept of any sort of morality removable from one who desires any sort of form for society to achieve? No. |
