Philosophy Questions
Love or money which is better?
Never had an excess of both, so can't really say.
At this moment in time though; I'd take money.
Probably due to youth, but when I'm an old man; I doubt piles of money will stay by my side, if you understand
Why are fools and fanatics always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts?
Wiser people contemplate things longer, the more you think on a certain matter; the more potential problems will arise.
What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed?
Greed, by far. By that's my opinion
But in today's society I suppose pride. I mean, there's no place for it in the eyes of the general population, and the law. Someone who is greedy will probably have a lot more peaceful life.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Anything that has a beginning has an end.
Would you want all the good things in your life never to end?
If you could change gender for one day, would you do it?
haha, without a doubt, play with boobies
Would you kill one person to save a thousand?
Depends on the one person, and the thousand who would die.
Some people, in my eyes, have more worth than three thousand
What does death feel like?
What does life feel like?
Answer me that, and I'll tell what death is like
How do you gain wisdom and knowledge?
I have a strong belief in personal experience, no matter how much people warn you of, or tell you of their own accumulated wisdom; I think somethings you just have to learn on your own.
Is it wrong to love yourself?
In general yes. If you love yourself no matter what, then how do you better yourself?
Are you important? Do you really matter?
I suppose in my circle of friends, my family etc
But outside of that; who really is?
Are we obsessed with all the wrong things in this world?
Of course we are, again; how would we better it if we weren't?
To live forever; a blessing or curse?
Depends upon which life is eternal
What is more important to you: Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, or maximizing happiness, even though that may not involve doing the right thing?
Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do
The ends do not justify the means
Do we have a "right" to be happy?
No. Who says we have a given right to anything? We earn these so called 'rights'
If people fear the unknown, then what is curiosity?
Not all fear unknown. The majority probably do, hence why the majority of people wouldn't climb Everest
If given the choice, would you sacrifice innocence in exchange for wisdom?
Pushed; I'd say no. Other wise we'd probably be miserable all our lives. I think some people need moments of immaturity just to level them out. Some people grow up too quick
Deep down, do you think everyone has evil inside them, laying dormant? Does it just come out through our actions, perhaps triggered by others?
Of course we have evil in us, who doesn't? I'm not talking about Lex Luthor evil, just little things. And what is evil anyway? I'd like to see someone define it
What is preferable truth or compassion?
Compassion. If everyone went around telling the truth all the time; there'd probably be about 40 wars a day
Do you believe that the majority of people in the world form their beliefs for themselves based upon what they feel, know, and experience, or do most people just believe based on what they want to believe or are told to believe? Either way, why?
Majority are told. I'm one of them. I didn't choose my religion, I was brought up on it by my parents choice. I'm not complaining; I enjoy my religion. Although some beliefs I have questioned, as well as admiring some aspects of other religions. Like I said earlier, the majority of people won't question what they have/are given. If we did; we'd all be philosophers.
What do you feel you are entitled to in life?
Nothing
Is life serious?
It is what you make of it
Does everything in the world have an opposite?
No. Otherwise every country would be at war, constantly.
If it was never illegal, would you have killed someone by now?
You mean no repercussions?
As in, none of the persons family members coming after me?
Not being shunned by society?
No guilt?
If so; then yes
