You remind me of me :)

Depression has also been described as having NO emotions. like being in a coma or being sedated or something. Just throwing it out there.

So why "will it further" ?

So willpower is the life-perserver in the ocean of depression. Low willpower could only mean that you are more likely to succomb to depression. But I ...

:up:

willpower and control seems to me to be the same in this scenario....

...so people like being depressed? :meh:

is depression rational?

But if you dont overcome it, its self-destructive...a disease.

...and overcome it? Depression, seems to me, to be a completely useless and destructive human-condition. Allmost like fear, but not quite. As fear can...

Good thing he didnt witness the groupies then! :lol: haha, just kidding

And chancing the world to fit you, could be hard or even impossibe, so you either adapt or chance yourself.

low-standards could also mean living a minimalistic and simple life.

how about a terrible joke? :) "I ones asked a philosophy professor about the time. Long story short, I was 5 hours late for dinner." I think it needs ...

He allmost sounded disapointed by him. :smile:

set your standards low and you won`t be dissapointed :joke:

This is why I never discuss philosophy with a bear...had a nasty experience once...

WOW

OOOOOKKKKKK!!!!!

Thanks! :)

there is allways the treat of going to hell, if there is a god.

any without god, it would be even easier to say "so what". but yes, I hear you.

I curtainly dont belive that the goverment is allways right. without question.

I think all of us understand the dilema of a student who was afraid to further inquire about a subject, in fear of the rest of the students would mock...

:)

I dont know, but I would do it to..

Im not planing to get involded with politics, so it OK :) its a dirty game.

A debate should be as professional as possible, so the people at home watching can make up their own mind and not be side-tracked by shitty-behavior. ...

Maybe it is the latter, but it should be the first.

I guess I was just speaking for myself then.

:lol: haha

Well, then you lose. The way I see it, if there is no civility, no mutual respect, there are no "winners"

correct

its admirable to be civil to inspire civility. like I have said before.

If we`re talking about money than it dosent have to be much, as long as others do it to. But I dont want to sound like a hypocrite, because I dont do ...

Not true. You do the right thing because it FEELS right and not because you have been tought that it is right.

hmmm...beer..

But I will admit that I have never studied philosophy and dont have the knowledge that the "veterans" in here have. But I want to learn and that is wh...

Its a valid form of detecting falsehood, but im talking about the subject itself and not grammer or the likes. No, english isnt my first language, im ...

You are probally right, but I was thinking of debating in general. Sorry if I was misleading. I dont even know who does people are.

I have allways viewed "quality" as something that has been put alot of time, love and effort into. doesent have to be perfection...what ever that is.

I shouder to think that religious people are moral and caring for others simply because it will reserve their place in heaven. someone who does the "r...

You know, carrying other people`s burden and so on. Maybe there is such a thing as to be too empathic that it drains your energy in such a strong way ...

Well, I see now that empathy is a completly useless "feeling". Sympathy I understand and have felt on several occations but its still a burden, in my ...

.

I`ll look into it...

Is there so much of a difference between empathy and compassion? (To lazy to google :) )

To be honest, im not used to "compassion" and that is my short coming and probally the reason im not empathic enough to help. And I fear to many has i...

To me its a little bit about not wanting to carry the weight of the world on my sholders. I have my own to carry. (even tho money has no emotion)

Im not sure, but it curtainly cant be forced upon anyone. its not an obligation for anyone to be empathic.
