This forum thread is mainly for people who like to Philosisize (if spelled correctly) and make quotes of their own. This can almost be considered mental, mature poetry to some. Anywho, made this forums for people on an outlook of life and what's "matter" about.

Thanks,

It's spelled philosophize.

But then again, what is language anyway?

Well, I'm working on what I call a "personal mythology", an alternative to a culture and worldview that just doesn't resonate with me at all. Basically, I'm writing a sort of mythology or story about my philosophical views (sort of like Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra). My philosophical views are strongly influenced by existentialism and some postmodernist ideas.

Some quotes from me:

"To live is to experience suffering and the more alive you are, more suffering you shall experience. Life is hell and as a corollary, death is the only true peace."

"Buddhism is far too nihilistic for my tastes. Getting rid of desire as a solution to suffering is like getting rid of cars as a solution to traffic. As bad as suffering is, I'd hate to think where we would be if there was no pain to heal or incentive to innovate."

"No problem has ever been solved by shutting up about it and pretending that it doesn't exist."

"Patience is a virtue, but in the path of progress, it is an obstacle."

"It's unwise to expect something you hope for to happen; instead, expect that it will not happen and hope that it does."

"Learn from the mistakes of others."

Those are just a few I have come up with, that I apply to my life.

I wrote all of these by the way
"To he that utilizes intensities to insure tips bail
Verily I say unto you, beware the buoyancy of the scale"

"Life and soul rings the toll for joy and vivacity, it then unfolds the uncontrolled our true individuality"

"If I don’t take this souls won’t take this, and if souls don’t take this, who’s gonna take this?"

"The diamond that basketh in the light shineth on a multitude"

"Open your soul and I will have already shown you where true power derives"

"Our souls are as cups and spirits as waters"

"Every rising king starts as a fallen prince"

"Art is a pitcher of spirits"

"In this world is a distinct form of balance, upon which where there is immense darkness there must be immense light. And so, when darkness obscures all around you and there is no light to be found, fear not. You are the light;there is no other place for it to be seen but within you. Shine"

"nothing is impossible."

"We all might see different things when we look at one thing, but whatever we see, we must stick with it."

"This world's destruction by mankind is already inevitable."

I'm not sure uf this is really philosophy but....

"To be in the middle of nowhere, you have to be somewhere, right."

Yes, yes it is kinda dumb but that is all I can think of at the moment.....

" A small light in the darkness is a million times better than a speck of darkness in the light."

"Everyone forgets about any good you have done once you commit a crime that is publicised by the media."

Maybe the second one is not so much about life.

Here is one I heard somewhere and I like a lot:

"Ages were not called dark because there was no light, but because the people failed to see it."

And another I heard is:

"You are only in the dark if you forget to turn on the light."

Gotta say, sweet philosophies everyone!!! (( I like..... them alll!!!!!))

Here is something that I am think off the top of my mind. Be carefull for longness and missunderstanding..

Anyway, this is kind of a story philo. So pay attention !

"I walk past people as they seem full of stupidity and insignifigance to anything of a sort. They all wonder all around life, making jokes other others, and of others continuing the chain of clulessness. They talk about others, and give death opinions on poeple, that tell the truth to be rumors. The truth is only told by a un-knowning source. Could this be their Concience? No.. people now adays do not have a pity time for thought of realness. They just go with what the "in-crowd" does and does. Lies and deception run today's society. No one can understand this.. no one. Even myself, I cannot help beleve why people are so ignorant to one anothers well being. I would be sincere to them, but that's for God's work. It is God's work to mold and shape this stupidity and insignifigance, into wiseness and understanding. As it's done..."

The lesson learned: "Leave matters into what God makes of them. He will only tell the truth on these answers here."

Another.. short, sweet, simple and to the point:

"Death is Birth"

Find the meaning.. then I will tell you if you do not know.

"Never lose hope, for only when night is at its darkest do the stars shine their brightest." - me

-You :heh:

Well you did say we could post our own quotes =P

"Never lose hope, for only when night is at its darkest do the stars shine their brightest." - me

But if it's a clouded night you won't see the stars =P

But the stars do not vannish. No, they contiue to shine there melodious tune even when guised with clouds. (I'm feeling this one is going to become a collective quote)

When a soul of light envelops itself in the pure darkness it will suffer. But if it emerges from that darkness, it shall shine farther and greater than the heavens above.

But if it's a clouded night you won't see the stars =P

Argh . . how's this? "Assuming there are no clouds, and there is nothing else obstructing your view, then never lose hope, for only when . . etc."

Another way to look at it is, even though you may not see the stars (for whatever reason), you still know it's there (same with hope).

@Angelic: Do you really have to "see" something to know it's there?

Yeszir !

EDIT: Not physical.

"...If you believe the Jews are trying to take over the world, you're a racist. If you believe that racial purity is good, you're a racist. If you see a child of mixed racial heritage and wince, you're a racist. Don't hide behind euphemisms like 'white nationalist' or 'racialist'."

Since that just reminded me what you said Eddy...

"Rasicm is what you make it. There is no word, or actions tied to 'Rasicm.' If one wishes to be told upon, then that is their interpritation. Only hate could be any, and all, ties of rasicim."

Mainly: You make out what and remark is said to you..

Another.. short, sweet, simple and to the point:

"Death is Birth"

Find the meaning.. then I will tell you if you do not know.
I'll give it a shot:
To die is to be born once again. AS many believe (including myself): when one thing dies another, somewhere in the universe, is born. When you die you a new after/life. Much like the saying: When one door closes, another door opens. It is part of the Pattern.

Correct! it's one of the most simplest answers! Cool, and God bless!

"You have to learn to die to learn to live". So applying that, You have to die in order to understand the birth of your soul. If that's true, why do we gain the ever fruited piece of knowlage at the point when we cannot use it?

You would have to define what exactly death is. Depending on your answer you can live after your death.

"When you fall, there are friends who can be your cushions. However as cushions they will wear out over time. So you must learn to be strong for yourself before those cushions wear away." - Me

If you made that up why have I heard it somewhere? Did you have that in your sig before?

i think so.

"He that denies his will and deprives what is truly important to him becomes a shell. An image of what one used to be, yet having nothing inside." me

This is similar to the star one:

"Only in the darkest of moment can you find the dimmest of lights.

Is there a standard for a good life, intelligence or wealth? If not, no one can say they are smart, rich or living a bad life because there is always someone else worse off.

I disagree.

So you mean we always need to be thinking about the others less fortunate than us? We're not allowed to feel bad because supposedly there's going to be someone who has it worse off?

Statement Philosophy~

"Dreams. As they can consume one another. They eat at our hearts, our soul, our dignity; something of a hunger for anything that we thrast twoards. Hie to anything that you want, and the Dream screams down through your lungs! Anything is yours! Enchant what is already being enchanted, and soon enlightenment will be grasped! Something.... but they are.. life's supplements? Is it something that now times hunger for, or is it all just lies?.. No, they are not. As much of the the Modern Gods have to say to this, dreams are something to be thought of, cared for, and shown that they are... Ask yourself, What is a Dream?"

Red - Mainly what we as an indivigual desparately wants, or needs.
Blue - Work. Working to what you want can acheive these.
Orange - The media, billboards, marketing etc.


Please take this into consideration. Thanks!

Statement Philosophy~

"Tears can be a sign of death, affectiontion, desparatness, lowness and many more feelings to be discribed. Mainly tears can be summed up in a litte essay.

As tears flow from ones sight and thought, they distribute love, hate and mixed feelings of whatever the situation.

As love renouns. This can also bring hate also. -If your known wolf is being chased by another hunter than yourself, you might as well destroy the competition.

Hate (as tied to love) can be also written down. As hate appers, the black-clear waterfall from your firery eyes, shed down all that if happy or nice, into dark, deep blue and fire hatedred that is as black as the Satan's Night. Hate is something to be explained from tears on confusion as well.

Tears are another part of life. They do not always mean nothing much. They offer Expression."

Mainly: Tears are our other side of Emotions too.....

I disagree.

So you mean we always need to be thinking about the others less fortunate than us? We're not allowed to feel bad because supposedly there's going to be someone who has it worse off?

Your not understanding what I ment. There is no avarage intelligence, or normal quality of life, am I right? So yes, you cant really call someone stupid because there is no average intelligence level to base your claim on, or say that someone is living a good life because there is no standard of living.

Now, I never said that you always need to be thinking of people worse off all the time. All I said was that there are almost all the time someone who is worse off or better off then you are.

What are you talking about? No average intelligence levels? No standards of living?

We have IQ tests, don't we? Schools are set up to challenge children and push them to their limits so they can be judged on what level they can perform, aren't they? (though the system can be abused by disobedient children, it's not my fault)

So you honestly think that you, who plays a lot of video games on your little DS, who can afford to go to school, who does have a computer to jump in front of and reply to this post, can say you don't have it better than some malnourished child from Africa? You can't say that your standards of living are better than people who are lucky to even get food for dinner?

Good point. And now I forgot what my first post even ment...

Yeahh yeahh I know I know, I'm a loser and I'm not a graceful winner.
Though you should see me when I lose.

No hard feelings, though.
:lol:

He was say IF there was no standard annyone could call anyone else stupid or lucky ect. In truth it would have no real meaning. You might say you live a bad life just because there are people who have more but you actually have a good life considering all those people that have absolutely nothing.

Well...That is what I got out of his post.....

Every emotion or standard is referencal. If there were no other quanities, they would hold no meaning.

"A just man is only a just man when he dies a just man. Man is not a constant. We can only be truly judged after death" me

"ya win some, ya lose some"^_^

If you're using religion as a pretense to hate something, it is time to pause and reflect.

(heh... Stealing this from the General Chat...)

Do not be saddened, for all life must come to an end at one point of time. Embrace the time that you did have, and let it all go. Bask in the blazing darkness that has layed path before you; everdark, yet elegent and enchanting. Only to exist in the thirst your humanity could only dream of quenching. The pool of water exists but seven in stone; near the end.

Then I saw in the right hand of the one seated on the throne a scroll written on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals; and I saw a mighty angel proclaiming witha loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" Then I saw [him] open one of the seven, The second soon to follow as two creatures spawned speaking the enchanting melody of calling. The third presented a black horse, and the fourth a green horse. Apon the fifth, everyone was endowed in light, and commith forth robes of an unearthly thread. When he cut the sixth, the moon turned of blood, and the land did quake, for the world was split in two, and all creatures watched the constructs on which they bulit there life on vanish unto the dying sky. The four angels did holdeth back the four winds so not a single thing could quake, as the one angel ascended like the rising sun.

-----------------------------------

You cannot destroy what you cannot find. I am everywhere, and nowhere at the same time. Can you kill something that's everywhere and nowhere without killing yourself? Can it be possible that I exist within you? The human mind creates images of a person as a memory, thus we construct personas of everyone we meet in our minds. Yet that is not that person, but merely what you want that person to be. Then is it not true that I exist within others, yet I also exist without the imposed personas of the others? Can it be possible that the persona you constructed is all that your seeing right now, and not what is acutally there? Am I a part of your imagination, or am I real.
