I had a bit of an epiphany over my carrot cake just now. It had the icing screwed up by me basically.But i thought that didnt matter in the long run. I then thought that only interacting with others matters.How you interact with them basically. If all this was dissolved,and just the people remained. All the material objects and other things that clutter up life and the mind, and just what you did to/for/with others.(etc.)
That and how you interacted with god.I dont feel like pussy footing around this concept this time.
My idea revolves around temporary existance and what in it really matters. So the matter dosnt really matter that much…
Yes, social things are the closest to self-love and self-awarness a species can get, and this leads to self-awareness, consciousness, expansion of form.
What drives us most? The intellectual, in my opinion tries to quench his thirst for knowledge. It is most unfortunate when an intellectual tires of seeking knowledge and settles for an answer. Any answer. I admire the wisdom lover who doesn’t have wisdom, but love for wisdom. I pity the wisdom lover who thinks he has wisdom.
What is important in life one asks…for me there are a multitude of things varying upon the day.
Some days it is solely about biological urges or “lesser faculties” such as sex, food, and drink
But most days it is about perfecting myself since this is all I have control over in my existence. Studying my own mind or world and becoming wiser is what matters to me.
I also will add, that what matters most in my life, is my afterlife.
Only life matters to life.
Most persons say: “Oh well. I can’t stop certain problems, as they are too horrible to ever face. I’ll instead distract myself, with short-term pleasure.” And thus the very worst difficulty recieves the very least human effort towards change.
My immaterial algorythms and structures of consciousness aren’t as easy to kill as my material body is, because one is a solid machine, in constant attrition, whilst the other is a liquid waveform animant, almost completely self-aware & self-controlled.
Satori speaks of self-improvement, especially improvement of mind.
Satori has the right idea.
Imagine a world without self-improvement… wouldn’t it be no-better than an inanimate stone? But if the body should devout its entire life towards impriving its soul, it will not loose everything which it has worked so hard for.
I have just one thing to add to this reply.Did you intend to mean one should not settle on an answer?What if you get the correct answer then move on? Eternal drifting through possible answers but not sticking with one dosnt seem right.If i havnt missunderstood.
If you mean though to continue to consider all answers you have for yourself,even though you have accepted some of them,i agree.
I am advocating diet-nihilism, for it is, in my opinion, the purest form unbiased philosophy.
There is no objectively correct answer.
Subjectively all answers are correct if enough apologetics has been applied.
