Discussing others truths

Fido,

I'd argue that it's impossible NOT to have one, at least on some level. I'd also argue that this may be a battle of semantics as you're seemingly interpreting "My philosophy" much differently than I am. If I mutter, "This is my philosophy", I'm not necessarily stating that this is a 'rule' I will ALWAYS live by. On the contrary, it is a thought I have pondered through deep philosophic thought, and one which will be critical considered over and over again. It is a conclusion, it is a perching between the intense, crazy, mind-boggling, over-the-top bouts of imagination and deep critical thought. It is a time to settle, to regroup, to savor, even for a moment, that peace. The peace that you know... at least something.

Never should one's philosophy be stagnant, as I noted above. Yet, it is a piece of truth you've pondered, that sits well within your being. A simply idea could be a philosophy, what you just typed could be interpreted as a philosophy even though you adamantly don't want it to be labeled that because you don't want to be "One of those liberal philosophy users!". If you're expressing disgust towards those that, without a doubt, think they "Know it all". I'm with you. But if you're saying that you don't perch like the rest of us, from time to time, well, I just don't believe you.

Reality is truth, but it is not portable... You go to the mountain and you don't bring the mountain home...You take a few snapshots, and gather a certain sense of the place to share, and you go back home....You only need enough truth to get by...Carting around more than you need is just a waste of life and energy....Save a little of that for breeding... Look at how many first rate philosophers could not figure that out...I don't care how much truth they got a hold of...I don't care how many books they wrote, or how many people know their names... If they could not reproduce themselves they failed at the most basic function of humanity...

One's Own Truth

Thanks everyone for sharing some of their own truths. My truth is universally the truth of All even if another or most others see it or sense it or not. And what is that truth? It is simply the unity or Oneness of All. It is a single truth Oneness, not duality, or division or twoness if that is even a word. Truth simply is. And when Ones own thoughts, when Ones own self becomes aware of that single unity of All, One becomes All. And nothing is more powerfully true than the single combining unity of All. The power of truth. Some might call it God.

Shakespeare said: See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely; do not for repulse forgo the purpose that you resolve to effect.

My purpose with absolute certainty and power of truth which is for the justice of One, Oneself, or All, is to share the truth I have found. My concern for repulse comes from a history of repulsion, and "once bitten twice shy" as the saying goes. That said I know I must forgo the slings and arrows of others, for there can be no greater purpose than the unity of All. And that is my resolve. I know Oneday without doubt, for truth has no doubt, mankind will reunite with the universe and set herself free.

Freedom is truly equality, and much more simple than most think!
Once the uncertain complexities of thought are cleared away, Only the simple clarity of truth remains. Descartes' method was most appropriate, and Einstein knew it too. Reducing a problem or equation brings One to the most simple solution, e = mc2 was his crowning achievement. He came so close and then went the other way. Had he known his own equation could be reduce to =, had he understood that the constant of light was untrue, he would have found the unifying truth he was looking for. The only true constant in the universe is =.

It is so beautifully simple equality, and in front of us All along. That's the humor of truth, the most obvious is mostly missed. Do you see the equal sign in Einstein's equation, do you see it in this more simple example: 2 + 2 = 4? If you do you see the truth of All. Perhaps for simplicity, and for the understanding and unity of All we should start there. We should start with 2 + 2 = 4.

What say Ye All, Yea or nay?

The real thing is so much sweeter than some made up picture... And Huxley's definition would go for old men and millionaires too... If the millionaires could figure things out they would realize they did not need near so much to enjoy it all... Even an old man who can still get it off resigns himself to the fact that he could only disappoint...There is no such animal as an old man who is a good lover... To each age its own pain....

For example: If you are spiritual, and you search for God you are religious... But if some one takes your religion, and irons out all the inconsistencies, and contradictions and forms a dogma, and doctrin out of your search, and build a church, then they have a faith, or a church, or a denomination...

It turns out that by doing what is truly right I have become so much healthier in many ways myself. But that truth I shared through action transcends to all.

Then doing right by oneself does right for all, as doing right to all does right by me.

Perhaps you misunderstood me entirely. I noted more than one time that I advocate consistent consideration. My "Philosophy" is ever-changing, and I delve into critical thought with others to point out inconsistencies and contradictions - that's predominantly why I'm here. I'm not preaching that I have any objective truth, and this seems to be what you think. It's impossible not to believe in *something*, but those things I do believe in I put under a spotlight daily, investigating their reasonableness and consistency.

Correct me if I'm wrong but your biggest concern here is that I'm using "Philosophy" possessively. And, judging from your last post here, you don't approve of the whole identity prospect in general.

To tell you the truth, I'm not really following you.

I am just tieing a rag on your tail for your use of words; but on the other hand, if your philosophy is always changing, it is not a philosophy, and not anything... Even our solar system which is ever changing has stasis uniting all the change...If something is ever changing it is phenomenal, or at best, infinite... Can you say what it is??? Really??? Can you define your life from the middle, or between the middle and the end withouut knowing the future??? What is done is defined...

We have days and nights, changes in the moon, and the season but the year eventually brings us back to almost the same point, over and over again.... If that did not happen, if their were no unity to all that change, no one could make any sense to it... But that is no reason you should look for unity in philosophy... Even Nietzsche went over the whole of his conception of reality to try to unite the thought and presumably to resolve contradition... What if a good, which is to say, a real philosophy accepts contradiction as natural to life, and possible in nature, and so accountable in philosophy???.I don't know... I don't have a philosophy, exactly...I actually have bigger fish to fry... I don't care much why people do what they do, and why they justify what they do...I want people to behave well toward others because they feel like it...
