Recent philosopy debate.

I'm utterly exhausted. There is way to much negative stuff going on this message board right now. The Xbots and Christian zealots are driving me totally crazy.

I HATE the Internet. You can't reach out and slap someone when they are being stupid. I long for the days of the BBS where it was easy to ban someone.

Ugh... I'll be back in a few days.

Thanks.... I would say it was orgininal but we all know there isn't much of anything new under the sun.

I was having a debate with a friend about some philosophy type stuff and figured I'd clean it up alittle and post some of my idea's here.

It might be interesting to someone. Then again you might laugh at me and call me names. [^]

Perception is 9/10 of reality.

Everything in this world has a positive and negative aspect. All idea's and objects can be used for good or evil.

Good can arise from evil and evil from good. It's impossible to judge the finial sum force being that we are bond to time and space.

In reality however there isn't any such thing as good or evil... It's simply a human concept. One cannot judge the finial sum impact of any single action. Good deed's can lead to negative tomorrows and vice-versa.

A person tends to be inherently good but "people" tend to be inherently bad. Beware the group mind, as it's quick to action and light on rationalization.

Truth is simply the perception of fact, which is ALWAYS in error on some level. Tell one person the truth and have them tell ten others. When it comes back to you again you will learn that each person has reinterpreted your truth into their own.

The only being who holds real truth is god for god is the only force that has access to all knowledge.

People want to be lead and told what the truth is... This is a negative thing as people need to experience truth, or more so their perception of it. But a person must always remember that one person's truth is another person's lie. (This is why a holy war is a ludicrous concept)

"He who increases wisdom increases sorrow". Why then seek wisdom if ignorance is bliss? Because only by understanding can one seek to escape the shackles of physical existence.

He who increases sorrow increases wisdom. The more hardships in ones life the more one learns. Many a profit has went off into the desert seeking truth. Some find it, others die. (This isn't an endorsement for making your life miserable. It's one of those negative little things that seems to be true)
