After replying to Shawn's post, ive thought about the issue a bit more. If indeed world peace was achieved, and to take it a step farther, discrimination and domestic violence and crime etc. were stopped, What then would become of Humanity ( Read more... )

What does it really mean to be solitary? I have struggled with this question for a while. It's not just being alone.. that can happen whether you want it to or not.. to be a solitary is to seek aloneness.. to want it, to need it. A true solitary man can be solitary around people, because he doesnt let people inside him. He has an effective armor ( Read more... )

Human beings seem made to experience despair; indeed, they are perhaps the only animal on earth to do so. I have long believed that despair arises out of imagination, and its potency depends on how powerful our imaginations are. Every human on earth has a sense of the ideal. We all imagine better things for ourselves and the world, and hardly and ( Read more... )

I can no longer deny the fact that my worldview, my philosophy on life has been altered, or perhaps I should say it has evolved. My previous view was decidedly liberal and very insistant on right and wrong, blah blah ect ect. No longer! My view of the world is no longer based towards this dogma or that one.

I see the world through questions, everything to me is a question and while I can find answers to these questions, they do not help. All the answers fall short of the truth. Truth to me is an ideal, a ( Read more... )

So...I've been thinking a lot lately of ways of life changing with cultures and I feel that ours is all wrong. Western civilization has the best morals and principles of life, however, the approaches and ways we live are all wrong. For instance, take obesity - in stores and pharmaceys, half the shit they sell is low fat, organic, good for you ( Read more... )

I have spent the entire morning sitting on my couch reading and staring out my window at the rain. It seems that fall is the perfect time for "lonely contemplation", and thats all i want to do ( Read more... )

Lately I've been giving quite a lot of thought to philosophy and theology, and how I feel about the world. Well this has caused me to think and try to interpret everything I see in the world, for what it really is and how what it means to humans as a whole. Well my frame of mind has caused a few people I know to tell me that I am critical of ( Read more... )
