Thanks - edited for clarity

I have no theory, I only propose that psychoanalysis has done more wrong for the average person and it shouldn't be a first place resource except for ...

I think such an approach to life is generally an unbalanced one. One should always spend time reflecting and evaluating their own judgment, sharpening...

Having anything that perishes is at loss of causing us grief in its absence. The way to live a life free of such grief, in my opinion, is to never be ...

Advocating for the acknowledgment of death should never override moral principles. We are, after all, highly advanced creatures that depend on a share...

I may not be as intelligent as you are, I couldn't really follow the argument. Do you mind clarifying your stance? Are you advocating that hope is nec...

By proxy, do you advocate for suicide?

It's say in the Bible, blasphemy against God is the only sin that's never forgiven.

That's because it's all according to expectation. Why set your standards really high in such a chaotic universe?

Yeah I know. It sounds like it except the past experience is not only limited to yours. It's a very powerful statement, by the way.

It sounds like my argument, to be totally frank. I'm guessing you agree with it

Maybe that 1% covers a lot of genes. Or maybe humans have a way of over-emphasizing differences since similarities get muted.

Sounds related to the butterfly effect. Proves how powerful seemingly simple decisions are. On a side note, do you think the butterfly effect is relat...

Very valid point, Joe. Maybe there is some sort of nearly universal moral conscience that forbids such behavior

Who is part of the universal consensus that decides who wishes to make who happy? For some, pedophiles have much of a right as other people. In other ...

I feel like happiness is more of a balance and process and not a point in time. Look up the hedonic treadmill. It states that no matter how good or ba...

I classified it as metaphysics? Oh, my apologies. That should belong in Philosophy of Religion

Thank you for the compliment and understanding, T Clark. ---- You stand on firm philosophical ground, I've noticed!

So is happiness simply a reaction to external circumstances?

I'm starting to agree with you and Clark: Since happiness is a condition dependent upon your desires and ambitions, you have control over it. Not some...

You say happiness is a state. But it can also be affected by external circumstances (e.g. other people). So, if other people can affect the state of y...

I don't think this proves that God exists. All that it does is give the definition of what traits or properties God must possess. And please use more ...

A couple of mine: Using big words and concepts that you don't understand to prove a totally irrelevant point Having a flawed argument, realizing it, a...

Very amazing points you have there

So you’re saying that under Love there is such thing as a universal law of morality ?

How does the Butterfly Effect play a role in this ? Is it just a coincidental phenomenon we made up to make sense of the world or does it actually “ex...

Yes but as long as envy neither rage are present. If those are present then they take over. Why? I believe it’s because people are inherently evil. If...

I feel like in order to develop guilt through empathy one must know what his morals are. How can you develop guilt without a basis of what to feel gui...

I totally agree. Good clarification

That’s the post I was referring to

I think I answered this in my thread about why we think about the past.

Well said. My answer exactly

I totally agree with you. However, I think empathy is out of the question here: When you do something that does not align to your moral principles the...

What if the being can be both temporal and atemporal? Can there be such a thing? The temporal side of the being would be allowed to communicate with w...

I guess I did. But I wanted to know if there was an alternate explanation that anyone could propose
