Surely, there is a difference between the two, no? I outlined in the OP how they differ in terms of needs taking more of a priority of the will to ent...
March 27, 2020 at 03:13
I contest that there is a strict dichotomy here, a need is fundamentally different than a want. Wants are like superlatives stemming from a mischaract...
March 27, 2020 at 02:15
This is where I differ. I believe that needs stand absolutely above wants, and are hence are not subject to any sense of relativity of absence. My des...

Why? Don't you feel emotions? I think the gist of the issue is that common feeling of insatiability manifest in "Can I have some more?" Why do we ask ...
March 27, 2020 at 01:18
What about emotions?
March 27, 2020 at 01:11
Hope all turns out well.
March 27, 2020 at 01:05
Yes! And, it is that facet of human nature that worries me. It is reckless and insatiable, and needs to be controlled. Would you agree with my pejorat...

Please expand on this term for me to understand it better. Thanks.
March 27, 2020 at 00:50
Yeah, it's simple enough. So, what do you think is the issue here? The ego or what?
March 26, 2020 at 23:56
I have; but, on point would be the issue of self-realization. Is that an occurrence when a want gets transferred into a need, once fulfilled?
March 26, 2020 at 23:25
Negative, Sire. Shawn is what it is, and not gonna make further changes. What can you do without?
March 26, 2020 at 23:22
Sorry to get back to your post so late. I mean, one has to know how much they love themselves to be able to reciprocate it, don't they?
March 26, 2020 at 21:26
I really don't think there's a way of doing away with the self. Nor, do I see any apparent reason to do away with the self. Nelson Mandela, Martin Lut...

Here's one for you... Under what circumstances is empathy rational?
March 26, 2020 at 20:59
I would like to expand on the theme of exploitation. It baffles me that so much money is spent on advertising. Google, has made its fortune on the sim...
March 26, 2020 at 20:51
Thinking a bit further about this issue, I want to bring up empathy. How much does empathy factor into treating one's self in a good manner? What is i...

Bezos really went overboard with The Man In the High Castle... I just saw some of it.

Does it require willpower to entertain self-love?
March 26, 2020 at 01:22
I don't mean to rain on your parade; but, the history of humankind indicates that there are exceedingly few people who are philanthropic. As much as I...

March 25, 2020 at 18:32
I tend to think, that self-love, is manifest in the common psychologist parting statement until one's next visit, being "Be gentle/kind to yourself". ...
March 25, 2020 at 18:26
This seems like an oversimplification in my view. Surely, there's more than one way to overcome an obstacle, or not?
March 25, 2020 at 18:18
How do you characterize it?
March 25, 2020 at 18:11
They do it in their own way. I don't think being a psychopath automatically means one is evil, although they do seem to have a propensity for doing ve...
March 25, 2020 at 18:10
Yes, well, this seems like a common theme of yours, about inter-connectivity. Yet, most people feel very lonely and sad being themselves. How do you e...
March 25, 2020 at 18:07
I don't believe it's as thus a dichotomy. What makes you think it's an avoidance of pain?
March 25, 2020 at 06:12
Yes, Neuralink, my apologies...

March 24, 2020 at 17:35
Well, if we reduce the self as the common denominator here, then it seems that the feeling must originate from one's self rather than another. Hence, ...
March 24, 2020 at 17:29
This seems to be the gist of the issue. I believe that we need to love ourselves first, rather than being in love. Many people mix this up, for some r...

PLEASE make it stop!

Please make that cat stop crying.

No need to quantify a qualifier.
March 24, 2020 at 02:59
And, what is that?
March 24, 2020 at 02:08
@"csalisbury" What do you think? It seems like folks with issues have a deficit of self-love. How does one account for that?
March 24, 2020 at 01:32
True; but, what else is there apart from one's image of one's self?
