Your Philosophy

[Nuky]

/me blissfully ignores everything up there ^_^

If it's none of my bussiness; if it has nothing to do with anything I have to do with, or anything that have to do with me; if it's completely irrelevant to me; and if it's a pain in the arse and/or lots of bickering and flaming... I ignore it! ^_^
I'm not even arsed to read it. I stopped after the second post.

As soon as I saw this thread, I thought "Here comes trouble! Humans are too often inable to accept things that are different than what they expect or wish."
And I grinned. And I clicked another thread.

Haha, Ulti, grow up, you'll see how unworthy you were posting such nonsense on the internet.

I never walk around unarmed

..get a life, seriously.

What? It's true. I always have three thumbtacks hidden in my watch, and I can slip 'em between my knuckles in a matter of a second, turning my above-average punch into a lethal weapon.

Nuky, we'd all appreciate it if, next time, you could click another thread before posting uselessly here.

[rudel_ic]

Man, you're still in school. Why would you need something like a lethal punch?

[Renegade_Turner]

Nuky, we'd all appreciate it if, next time, you could click another thread before posting uselessly here.

No, YOU'D appreciate it. I'd much rather prefer if YOU didn't post here anymore (and I think by now a good few others share this preference).

In fact, I'd much rather prefer you not post on the forum at all. Ever again.

You're a horrible person.

You might say you don't care about who likes you (that must be the type of thing you'd say, because everyone must hate you with the kind of shit you come up with). You might say my words don't affect you. You might say you're impenetrable to anything I say.

That's fine.

But know that with the attitude you're going around with you won't make very many friends.

You don't care? Yeah...I bet you'll say you don't care.

um.....for me, I don't really like to examine the concept about life in fine details because I feel like if I am too caught up with the details, I often neglect the big picture about life. Also, in my opinion, a person, who thinks about altruism and then act altruistically as a result, is not really altruistic. I don't wish to offend anyone, but I think a person should just act the way that is most comfortable for him/her at the moment. I have a quote from an ancient Chinese Taoism philosopher, Lao Tse, that I would like to share with everyone. It goes like" The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself" So yeah, I guess my philosophy is that we should not regret about the past or worry about future, just focus on the present moment and enjoy it because if you try to analyze too much about each action, you might overwork your brain cells.

um....Did whatever I said fit the topic?? I hope it did!

'careful with old aphorisms. Taoism promotes pursuing the Way; I'm pretty sure saying that "you need not do anything but be yourself" was supposed to be a paradox. The actual meanings probably go something like:

1-wisdom resides in following nature, aka be your true self, as opposed to following wise rules;

2-and on top of that there is probaby the related meaning that you should produce the source or cause of something (wisdom) rather than the consequence and symptom (the whiteness of the goose) (that is very true by the way),

3-plus the meaning that you should progress by not acting directly ("don't do anything but...")

4-and the the goose itself probably has some meaning,

5-and moreoever this sentence is way too long.

In short that quotation is meant as a paradox, you're supposed to wonder about its meaning and be enlighted, but the meaning isn't "a person should just act the way that is most comfortable for him/her at the moment". Not that that's a bad principle, just a bad quotation.

Summary of long, misshapen paragraph: meanings in old cultures are less close than they appear.


Graywandir, you've got a tasty philosophy. I find the idea that the world is a giant doughnut very appealing, especially on the days where I skipped breakfast. At the moment (1:30 am) the leading theory is that the universe is a giant bed with a puffy pillow.

[BunnyWithStick]

You don't know me, so what makes you think I'm smaller than you?

Remember, ants sometimes have a banquet of spider when they work together.

…so you're unlikely to survive any attempt to knock me unconscious and eat me.

Knowing Grayswandir, I don't think he'd bother with the knocking you unconscious part. Colicedus definitely wouldn't either.

Man, you're still in school. Why would you need something like a lethal punch?

ROFLMAYONNAISE!

Knowing school stereotypes, this is the most ironic statement in the universe.

[Nuky]

Nuky, we'd all appreciate it if, next time, you could click another thread before posting uselessly here.

I posted simple philosophy that should be easily understood by even the most simpleminded people in here. Got anything against staying on topic? Or did you perhaps not quite understand my baby-talk?

Don't worry. I can respond quite more reflected, but I wouldn't risk hurting your fragile little mind(s).

[Colicedus]

you just awnserd your own Q Rudel_ic

As for that Armed thing, I think Nobody walks around unarmed.
Other than your owen hands and feet and any object that your Imagination can make of it, There is the Lessons we have been taught on how to use them.

For instance, I was Taught Judo as a kid and there for I am armed with a few abilities to use on an attacking enemy. I also know a little bit on how to box (Im not that good)

Pulse I have a good imagination, I can make a weapon out of anything.
Give me an Item and I should be able to use it as a weapon some how.

there for, I think Everyone in that sense is armed.

Knowing Grayswandir, I don't think he'd bother with the knocking you unconscious part. Colicedus definitely wouldn't either.

I would Probably first off wave your organs in your face while you are crippled, then I would eat them in front of you. other than its more traumatic for you, fresh blood tastes better.

[Grayswandir]

According to my philosophy, I can eat you.

You don't know me, so what makes you think I'm smaller than you?

You are "Inadequate". Therefore, I can eat you.

But that's the part you're not getting: from the point of view of my tools, they ARE my friends.

No, see I understood that. You just aren't thinking from the point of view of a rapist.

They all think I enjoy being around them and speaking with them, etc, etc. Thus, I get the benefits of friendship (I'm unlikely to be attacked by them, and they'll help me whenever they can)

The rapist enjoys being around you, so he'll show you his love of being around you by sharing his red, hot, throbbing poker with you.

after reading this I got the same reaction as when I watched this.
watch it and see what I mean.

Silb, you are such a intelligent person, and I believe you 100% that we can analyze the quote into a deeper meaning. Like what you said, "Taoism promotes pursuing the Way", but at the same time it is also clearly stated that the Tao that you can describe is not the real Tao because once you put down the limitation of language, you will more or less shift the ideas. I think what I really want to say before is that we should just keep everything simple because many times, we will be fooled by the extravegent things from the environment and not be able to find the core about our life. There will always be people like you who has the abilities to get more out of things than others, which I completely respect, but it is just that not everyone can go to that level. That's why I recommand people not to think TOO much and create too much burdens for themselve.

I really enjoy talking to you, please shares more of your thoughts with me!! I will be looking forward for your reply.

BWS replied to that. Thanks.

I don't want to ruin your creepy, internet tough guy image, but it is kind of laughable if you think you can kill someone by punching them with a thumbtack.

Meh. Not really looking for an "image". But just be aware that three thumbtacks in people's necks _do_ kill said people.

For instance, I was Taught Judo as a kid and there for I am armed with a few abilities to use on an attacking enemy. I also know a little bit on how to box (Im not that good)

Interesting. Since you say you look like Doomguy, I kinda figured it'd be the other way around, that boxing would be your specialty. ^_^

Wouldn't that depend on where you hit them with the thumbtacks?

Hey I'm not all that clever. I was just saying that that quote wasn't really appropriate and felt like developing a little because I like these things.

I kinda agree with you for the rest. It's true that it's dangerous to not act naturally (from what I'm told, a good chunk of modern nevrose cases are precisely people who contradict their own feelings because of some warped abstract reasoning--instead of actually listening to themselves--, ltypically people going "I act only for myself and de not believe in God, therefore I don't care about morals and I can keep doing this particular immoral action with no problem", and then ending up at the psychoanalyst's). But you still have to be somewhat cautious; I agree in the same sense as the previous quote.

Hey guys it's not funny if I'm the only one being a little serious here.

PS: Ultimatum, you meh'd again.
