Good explanation :100: :fire: Despite the fact that, death is the same path to us, we tend to conceive it in many different ways. You wrote that death...

It is book with three classic Spanish novels of XVI century. I did a quick research on internet and the English translations are these ones: The Life ...

Thanks NOS, for understanding what I wanted to share. Exactly, Yukio Mishima saw in a aesthetic view the concept of death. Despite the fact that all t...

You didn't show any argument but I would put some apart of what I wrote in the OP. Japanese see the perception of death more authentic because their c...
April 23, 2022 at 15:56
True. But it not the general opinion. Death is still seeing as terrible or even a taboo topic. Religion ensured during centuries to “refuse” the meani...

Completely. I would sound as a crazy boy but for me that specific act was so pure and authentic. At least the Nipponese died defending their thousand ...

I do not want to superimpose any culture and contrary from your view, I see the Japanese concept of death more authentic. Remember that in our "world"...

It is not necessarily connected to wars. You can feel stressed for whatever reason in our Western cities. I wanted to point out that while in Japanese...

It is true that we should not follow the same steps of our idols because they had a very different way of life from ours. Nevertheless, I think it is ...

Today is April 23th so Happy World Book Day! here we called it as "Sant Jordi or San Jorge (St. George)" The custom is give away a rose and a book. :f...

Interesting text and points of view. But I guess you end up with a contradictory conclusion: God being the first existent. Previously you have shared ...

Conclusion: we are weak whatever we are compared with!

A big issue as depression it is not as simple as a "deficiency" on neurochemical serotonin. This is probably just the scientific explanation but goes ...

Interesting question. To be honest, I see it as a barrier. Since the moment that our lives are limited we tend to see everything with limitations in t...
April 22, 2022 at 07:28
The logical structure itself is made by us. In one side, we have a world or "universe" and, in the other side, we the humans make an order to live on ...

Yep, I am an atheist but I am agree that John Locke's empirical arguments towards God are so poor... §3 "He knows also, that Nothing cannot produce a ...

Sorry to disagree with you but I think that's only the basic principle of primary qualities as John Locke already written about. We all act with some ...

Agreed that it is so interesting the fact that God seems to be weak in terms of randomness. Wether we like it or not, improbability is part of our liv...

Since the moment we no longer find happiness through it, I guess yes :rofl:
April 21, 2022 at 09:57
Understandable. But what if I do not want to pray at all? I no longer believe in future or luck either fortuna. I think life tend to be difficult and ...
April 21, 2022 at 09:56
But if we accept this criteria then we have to admit that God is just pure fortuna instead of mercy… and all the suffer or pain suffered by a priest o...

I will be 28 years old in 2025 not 25, so the only real magic happens this year. 25 years old in the 25th of April. :rofl:
