What if you are merely escaping to your inner world to retreat from the disillusionment you feel toward the external world, which is ultimately contri...

Your unrelated propositions make little sense with whatever your objective is; 'of' is to possess love or a description of this trait, while 'is' is t...

Melchett: 'If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.' ;)

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. Dreams are really hard to determine and I fear would fall on the individual experience to ascertain an expla...

I'm sure you could, but an education is years of training and the application of this training vastly differentiates with knowledge of a given subject...

I understand your concessions, but I think there may be a confusion between "love" and will or the motivation within, that when you say one can produc...

They're not mutually exclusive. It is in our nature to desire happiness; by seeking to improve through self-awareness one experiences happiness (since...

I don't know about you guys, but I would want my doctor to have a medical degree. https://media.giphy.com/media/SwefghwWAJrz2/giphy.gif

I agree, but why would anyone want to build a family with someone they do not love, even if this person embodies the character traits that they want? ...

I think the confusion lies in the semantics, the ambiguity of the word 'admire' because it is certainly not a state of awe but rather a motivation tha...

This activity is described through actions like brotherly love, erotic love, familial love, love of a child, unconditional love etc &c. This action is...

No, I have never felt hatred, but certainly anger and indeed sadness but these emotions are derived from actions or inactions; my inaction due to my i...

No, an emotion is a response to an action or inaction and love is an action. We incorrectly assume love itself as an emotion subject to determinative ...

You are truly a nasty man. I got promoted at the worst time, need to finish the probationary period first so I had to stretch out the date. Urggg, man...

Question, thank you for sharing, I have a deep respect for those that feel strong enough to talk about such personal subjects as one may eventually ra...

Sorry John, my conflict was with your association of emotions to the concept of love, the latter of which I was attempting to elucidate as being moral...

I had to delay my Hawaiian holiday for a couple of months because of work. Feeling blue in a non-sad way. :-d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts2SIQ5O...

The entrenched condition that emotions are an independent mental experience that we are subject to fails to appreciate the quality of reason. There is...

Unlike how we value only what we find meaningful, the lack of any ontological value in the transcendental does not suddenly nullify immanence. Being e...

Why do you need to choose? Whilst broadening your understanding of political theories, all you are required to do as a citizen is differentiate with a...

How does that correlate with your statement that God (totality) is expressed by some actual states (those that exist) but not other ones (those which ...

Generally speaking, the overall assumption that happiness somehow involves less in judging evils than it does in immersing oneself in the appreciation...

I was so fearless as a child that my plans to runaway from home always ended up 100 meters away at the local park, eating all the food I prepared to s...

We conduct ourselves in such a manner to nurture our fear that soon enough we become jaded in the monotony, dependent on its repetition to safeguard o...

Pan's Labyrinth and Ghost in a Shell (the original anime, not the hollywood rubbish).

Indeed, even cognitive capacity refines our mental representations hence why each of us appreciate various interpretations of the world outside of our...

To avoid any misconstrual to the suggestion of memories of former or otherworldly cognitive states, what I was attempting to convey was that each of u...

When one thinks of radical evil as being demonstrative of an innate condition, how does this reflect the interconnectedness of Nature? Whilst I apprec...

As children and part of our developmental stage in life, we require the emotional protection and care of our family and environmentally they are pivot...

How is approaching the situation of being hurt by a family member pragmatic if the practical outcome is to get hurt? Relative to the circumstances, it...

I agree with you but it depends on your own disposition and will as a person, as well as the utility or intention of the outcome. For instance (and I ...

Thank you for sharing, you do write your personal experiences with such clarity that, regarding the above mentioned, for me it is not a realisation of...

Everyone has differences in views and on forums there will inevitably be contested opinions, flaming, and posts being deleted. There will be friends t...

There were moments that were popcorn-worthy :D

The freudian slip of illeism. Entertaining, nonetheless :)

Viva la revolución! Why are you talking about yourself in third-person?

It could also be the other way around, that maximising pleasure would require experiencing pain first; an athlete would endure physical pain in order ...

This appears to have reduced it to nothing more than a mere metaphysical relation, since even if it is expressed by those that do not exist, there mus...

This is a lot more tricky as people can quite easily be deceptive; the same tactics you may see with religious people can comparably be viewed with fa...

Actually, you are attempting to do nothing but beat me because you are a sexist and judging from your sociopathic PMs that imply a need for me to do w...

Why is that rich? What else is supposed to happen that is 'expected' of me? And it depends on what you interpret as God. My choices are.

What I am trying to say is that it is best to avoid that otherwise you look just as bad as the religious morons screaming insults before spouting the ...

I never said that. I wasn't even aware you were married, I thought you were a teenager. I also fail to understand why you say I think only about 'me m...

Are you ok? Are you still angry at the fact that I pointed out your abusive remarks towards women that you claimed to have almond brains, clearly expo...

Turn the other cheek, even if they punch you in the face... :D

I understand the elementary explanation of potential energy, I meant how you relate that with subjective potential of an individual. I would say that ...
