A plant gets 10% of the energy of the sun that nourshises it, A cow gets 10% of the 10% that the plant gets when it eats the plant, and of course you get 10% of the 10% that the cow gets who got 10% of what the plant got, you can't cut the plant out of it's 10%, but you can cut the cow out and basically be as close to the sun as possible....
As for proverbs::: Be Not the Judge of others, But Know your Deeds are Just, I think that was Mencius, teacher of Confucius
Another one I love, while in Philosophy class in the early 70's our prof. asked us to define the truth as a class homework assignment, next day he goes around the class and one by one we say what we think the meaning of the truth was;;;;; My answer::: The End, he gave me a 3.75 for the semester....

How can philolsophy be taught?

Isn't it just an opinion of a view to life?

Much like religion, philosphy is an adherence to another person's set of ideals - you either subscribe, or you do not.
I find myself in a place of darkness; I'm lost and confused as to the point of life. If the point of life is to be happy, then without said happiness, there can be no point.
And yet, my being here has much bearance upon a great deal of things; my children's well being and education, for example.
So there is a point to my life, but it is beyond that which I so desperately crave.

The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the one.

WELLK SOME ONE MUSTA THOUGHT O THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE............

but yeah. philosophy is cool. speacially when u actually apply it to ur life , but it camt be tought, it can only be shown then ppl must make the choice

Fair comment, but....
You will be subconsciously aware of those ideals set out by the particular philosophical thinking, which could taint your own discovery of the path.

"There are many paths to the top of the mountain"

If you apply someone elses ideals, then you are only treading the path that has already been trodden upon - thus, your journey of discovery has already been channeled.
People seem to need to cling to this idea of sentinence, but it is a human trait.
To think that we are something other than what we appear to be, and that we can gain immortality by subscribing to the rules and dictates of someone else's ideals.
What about here?
What about now?

People spend too much time wondering about a future that is neither proven or documented, whilst the issues of 'here' and 'now' go unaddressed.
Their quest for appeasing an unseen entity borders on the horrific - and those that do not subscribe are seen as parasites and must be crushed.

What right has anyone to declare their way as the right way?
Is Christianity the right way?
Is Islam the right way?
Taoism?

Each of those 'philosophies', sees the other as the wrong way to live.
And each of those philosophies would gladly cleanse the world of those opposing mindsets.

Maybe, they are all wrong

Maybe, we should remember that we are just an animal, just like all the others on this planet. But the only thing that sets us apart from the other animals living here, is that we have been given the gift of intelligence on an unprecedented scale.

And every day, we abuse that gift towards our own greed and selfishness.

And every day, the planet, and those other animals, suffer our ignorance at the highest price.

maby ppl think about the future BECOUSE it is neither proven nor documented, leads more space for hope, for there to be worse better, coz thats all god is hope.
when smthn is done it couldnt happen anyother way some ppl comment ABOUT it
but wit the future it hasnt happened so u cant comment about it , u have to speak OF it, if u get what im sayin.....
but yeah...we are all just a bunch of animals, and evrythin we do is a bunch of chamicall preocesses, but at least were a bunch of animals whpose chemical precesses can philosophise and luv and all that shit (even tho animals luv too , for protection and survival of the species, what called an altruism when teh animal gives up being able to reproduce (so sterelazation is also altruism, or simply death) for the good of the species, coz in reallity its just a fight for survival



oh and some aniumals, liek cats, also get high... its so funny to see stoned cat,

Err, no...sorry, I don't.

What is the point of worrying about something that hasn't yet happened?
The future does not affect your life now, does it?

I think you misunderstand my reference of 'future'...I'm talking about life-after-death.
People live their lives in accordance to a set of ideals and rules, to secure their place in the afterlife, whilst forgoing their enjoyment of actual life and treading upon those who do not subscribe to their percieved ideals.

Like in the recent US elections.
I heard that a cleric told his 'flock', that to not vote for Bush, would be an affront to their God - thus, the 'flock's' mindset was not about the issues of the day, but rather a security of acceptance in their 'heaven'.
Thus, they worried more about their 'future' in an unproven haven, than the present day issues that affect the living world.

The real future (ie, tomorrow) will only be affected by the actions of today - we can use educated probability to foresee an outcome, therefore, we can talk about the future (in some cases) as being set.

And there is no hope

[bob banana]

ok ok, but yeah it still realtes
wht im sayin is that in the future there is hopw, bith in heaven and in earth future
whilst the past is just that, smthn thats hapened but u cant change
like ppl lov the fact they have a choice, what makes us human too (e.g if a tiger attackts u and ur wit a friend run in difirent directions, coz its hard for the tiger to make a choice sinse its liek inate behaviour just tells him to chace the one pray notlike selct well this human seems 2 k heavier and 3 inche s taller so ill pik him) any wauy yeah,sinve future has choice in it and past doesnt ppl prefere future.......
