Philosophy Questions
Love or money which is better? love, but in a wider context, love of friends family, life, people and a soulmate. live with out this can seem bleak. it quenches the soul deeply, where as money temporerialy makes you forget your thirst
Why are fools and fanatics always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts? because they are fanatical, becuase they cannot see the woods for the trees infront of them, because people who belive in nothing will belive in anything. wisdom comes from questionning and seaking reason. to accept something for the mere sake of acceptance, without understanding is stupid.
What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed?
i would say greed, but i think they are linked. greed could be for arguments sake the personification of pride, the material manisfestation ofit. they are both ugly characteristics.
Why do all good things come to an end?
because with out knowing bad we cannot know good. they are reference points for each other. if we knew good all the time, it would not be good, simply normal.
If you could change gender for one day, would you do it?

What does death feel like?
nothing.

through teachers, study, mistakes and taking chances
Is it wrong to love yourself?
not at all, self love is very important, it is the basis for a posotive life and well being. through self love we have the power to make difficult descions, knowing that the outcome will be best for us and imporve us
Are you important? Do you really matter?
i matter to the people in my life that love me, i am important to myself and i am important to the people who i engage with. in the grand scheme of things i may not be so important, but knowing to a handful of people i am the world, well that is all that matters
Are we obsessed with all the wrong things in this world?
i think honestly we are. i think spirituality adn comunity have been disolved in way of materialism and the media's spin. i think if we all turned off our tv and spoke to our neighbours, read a book and did something of substance, the poloticians would really have something to fear.
To live forever; a blessing or curse?
a blessing, life is amazing i would want to live forever, learn all i could, become a master at so many of my passions. it would not be without its pains though. but sometimes knowing someone for a little while is better than never knowing them at all.
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?
i would never do the right thing just becuse it is the right thinfg, i would do it because i believed in it. so the latter. it is the real world out there. sometimes you have to fight dirty, because the next bloke is willing to stoop lower.

we have the right to not be made unhappy through others actions or prejudices, but happiness is something that is earnt i think, it is not a right as such

people who fear the unkown have small minds that function within very specific boundries, paranoid of external sources they cant control. curiosity is for the open minded and enlightened.
If given the choice, would you sacrifice innocence in exchange for wisdom?
never, an innocent is an innocent.
Deep down, do you think everyone has evil inside them, laying dormant? Does it just come out through our actions, perhaps triggered by others?
i think given the right pressures and situation we all have the capacity to commit an evil act. removing these pressures or situations i think it takes someone devoid or emotion, logic and reason to commit evil.
What is preferable truth or compassion?
the truth, as hard as it maybe at the time to comprehend or assimilate. the truth will always set you free.
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?
i think it depends on the upbrinigin the situations and the influneces in formative years. parents who nuture children to wuestion ad find there own answers will crete adults who find who they are. parents who are very sheltering and commanding will produce adults willing to confirom and not push the boundries of there knowledge.
What do you feel you are entitled to in life?
what ever i want, the same as everyone else.
Is life serious?
it is what you make it, reality is your interpretation of what you think you see, feel and here. if you take that as being serious, then more fool you.
Does everything in the world have an opposite?
physicall no, spiritually possibly, i think everything has matches, these are opposites as such just peices that fit together. althought apart from asexual being i guess all living beings dom fundemetally at least.
If it was never illegal, would you have killed someone by now?
i am sorry to say there was a time in my life where i seriously contemplated killing someone. they where dark and hazy days. the legality is a trivial matter. i believe taht when a human kills another human, something fundementally changes in there psyce and im not sure everyone can handle it. however i am capable of extreme violence. there are some buttons people inist on pressing.
