what is your philosophy? beliefs? share them here.

ill post mine later im tired and cant think of the whole thing right now

My philosofy of life is to live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it...and let things come to you.....so later you'll be able to deal with them....my beliefs are basicaly these ones: i don't believe in god....but i don't deny his presence....let's just say that i believe in samething that we all, no matter what religion we are into, can't explain......

philosophy: people should treat others with as much respect or mor than them selves

Belief: people are not changed just by their enviroment but also how they were raised

i believe that if you are honest from jump, you wont have to worry about covering your ass later on.

My philosophy directs how I live and act.

You can't go through life with worries of what will happen, only worry if you know for certain something will happen. You can't fear pain or death because both are temporary. Pain last for a short time period, only directly affecting your mine when you're contious, and death is an undetermined path. It's something that no one can answer through science, religion or theories.

My key for success is to aim for one goal and one goal only. As long as you can acomplish something you have won. While some one else's goal may be to become rich and famous they may not achieve such things, thus failing their goal. My goal is simply to keep living without a thought of hesitance and to learn from my mistakes so they don't happen again.

In simple words of that, S*** happens, you have to learn to deal with it.

Your not ready for my philosophy

Not ready?

don't mind him.. he's cultivating it..

Is appearance so important that people are willing to foresake other qualities because of it? what are your thoughts

Nope. I say the hell with appearence, it can ruin your life, health, and intellectual status. I say this because people who worry about their appearence usually highly value that quality and mainly that quality. To tell you the truth I value intelligence over all other traits.

EDIT

Appearence should only be needed under certain circumstances. Depending on your job it may affect what first impression you give off. First impressions only come once and may just be the biggest part when meeting someone.

appearance isn't important.sometimes even more vain and greedy things overcome ppl like marrying someone with power or fame or wealth.ppl r easily corrupted.looks aren't important, personality rules over all.ppl are ppl and some can't be changed so i hope that i find someone who looks deeper than skin... blah

Personally i could care less about how a person looks.. all that matters is how they treat the people around them.. if i had a choice between a man who is a dead ringer for A-Rod, and treated people like shit, and a man who looked like Alf, but was nice and respectful of people and had a good heart.. you had better believe that i am going to choose the latter of the two. And this is not limited to dating, but to people as a whole. I always make it a habit to surround myself with good people.

No, appearence isn't very inportant in our lifes...well ok, if we're pretty it helps, but still we won't find hapiness just by looking good...in my opinion being pretty has it's vantages and desavantages: for example if were pretty we can get a girl/bofriend much more easier, but that's not enough, don't ever forget that....but in the other hand being pretty may cause you troubles, for example people may start to envy you, treat you in another way just because you're more prettier, stupid things like that you know...but what i'm trying to state here is that being pretty is good..but even if we're not pretty we must feel happy about ourselves, and not be influenced by others, telling that you're ugly or not that pretty...cause sometimes those kind of people are pretty to, in the inside, and that's what counts the most...so people don't feel bad if others push on you because of that, you all know that you're pretty inside,no matter what others may tell...

Judging people on their appearance if prejudice, then when you are prejudice it'll often end up in discrimination. So there are two sides (really don't know why i'm gonna say this but ohwell)
Thing1: Well if you are prejudice and you shouldn't decide on people with their appearace, this is because someone may of forgot, or couldn't be bothered to make themself look good cause they were busy, anyway, you get the point
Thing2: If you want to avoid prejudicism then do dress up, but dress the way you dress not to impress people, cause they'll be prejudice again and mistake you for something that you're not. People will be prejudice to appearance and there's nothing to stop them, but discriminations you shouldn't accept!

but everyone prejudice to some point. it's important to know this and put a control on it so it won't disrespect other or delude one jugdement. i work at a job with many different background and races so i judge a person on their ownself not where they are from or what color or who the call god and what name. this is the only way we can be productive not only here but in society.

It all comes down to this, whether you wish to admit it or not. People judge others by how they look, how they talk, how they walk, and simple things all the time - especially the looks. In fact, everyone probably judges by looks right off the bat. It might be subconscious. You might be telling yourself, 'I don't, I know I don't.' But these things don't always have to be known to you directly. The brain is an amazing function in the human body and you'd be surprised at the signals it tells us even when we're unaware.

Some people might address appearance more then others, but we all make some notice for first impression. Once you get to know someone though, that isn't as isn't as big of something to pay attention to..

*Looks up at some of his previous post.. *

Wow.. Yeah...

true but just because everyone does it doesit make it right you know. if you know you do it you can change that about yourself. i hang out with all tpye of people before i join this job. so i might have a little more step on seeing some one true form.

I never said it was right.. I know you can change it, but it's always partially there. I myself make only small judgments. However, the style of clothing people wear does give a small insight about them.. For some, it gives nothing and I know this because I know people who dress one way but are totally different then what you'd come to expect.

I believe that I should not conclude of God or any sort of entity. When my time comes I'll find out. I do believe in a few proven factors such as past lives, however, I will not show any fact to a Religious person. No offense ment to any one of faith, but they all tend to get really angry when you mention anything about something they, themselves, don't believe in. Such as past lives. Past lives is, indeed, an old concept, but recently through the development of the human mind and certain practices the underground world of science was able to track down certain babies and toddlers who exhibited strong knowledge of certain individuals who have past away years past. A certain case was a little girl by the name of which I don't remember. She remembered details about her "past life" to the tee. She knew events, stories, scenes, and much much more. Her parents teamed up with a group of people whom had access to death records and they were able to conclude that this little girl was the new vessel of someone who died during the Victorian times. After the age of five, however, she then lost all recollection of anything she had previously stated in the past. I once told Seth about the number five. Most (If not all) kids whom claim a certain link to the past forget everything of which they spoke at that age. This includes spiritual moments too, such as meeting a dead family member. I've wandered off topic, yes. I'd like to conclude with this;

I don't think that it is any humans place to try to find out if there is a God or not. We'll all know in time. Pray all you want. I encourage it for I too pray to an enigmatic being in my mind in which I believe everyone has. The voice in the back of your mind, be it divine or not even real, I'd say pray to it in hopes that your life won't stride off to the opposite direction.

Any questions about anything I've just mentioned, please feel free to PM me. I've made studying cultures and the world around me somewhat of a profession. I'll be around.

You know, I've often wondered whether or not deja vu, was just a brief flashback of our past life. I mean, why would being somewhere, or in that situation before be so familiar, if I had never been there or experienced it before? That is why it always freaks me out.

Personally.. I don't believe in past lives.. They haven't been proven true for the most part and I believe, even if they were there, we still have our own lives. Why worry about some life from the past? I'd hate to think I am the reincarnate of someone, it sort of forms a loss of individuality for me.

well i think it about knowone self and trying to do right and learn from one wrong in their past lives. it is believe by some that you get to live again if you didn't live right the first time or if your life was taken away wrongly

All can live as the please and the great thing about life is nothing is forced upon us in all reality. You have the ability to break through. Unfortunately many a times that may lead to death. I'd rather not get into the reasoning for me saying that. But yes, Black Angel, that would be the case of those memories (For the most part.) Phobias are often caused by misfortunes in past lives. I have a deep phobia with old Cathedrals, imparticularely Saint Patrick's. Therefore I conclude something bad happen to me in a cathedral in the past. Perhaps I was burned on the stake?

Woah thats deepish...
I for one wouldent rule out or promate the possibility of me being a rencarnate.

If I was then wouldent I be the same guy with a new name? I would still be an indivual, I will have just been a indvidual who has forgoten his past many times.

If I wasent then the same holds true, i'm justa guy, my names Seth, I'm a human, world keeps on spinnin'.

if you could chosse to come back what or who would you came back as?

That question seems a bit out played, yes? Personally I'd just want to grow up in a semi-wealthy family (For the sake of being able to maintain ourselves.) and be able to be with the same people I've previously encountered.

The afterlife is a huge debate with many, many twists and turns. If you're REALLY into it, as I was, I'd suggest you simply visiting museums such as the Cloisters in New York or browse through the countless websites in the internet's disposal. I suggest reading books, however. The Holy books to each religion often has much to say. Not a good source but still interesting to read.

Religion, our inner demons, the afterlife, and life itself is by far the most debatable thing on the face of the globe. One day we will all understand. I'm sure deep inside the chasms of our mind we already know the answers to our questions. If you believe in reincarnation know that memories never die. They just stay locked in the mind. No human vessel and unlock the memories of previous lives and the venture into whatever afterlife exists out there, but to whatever extent, I know that deep inside ourselves we all know.

By the way, I would never try to convert ideas, Dictator... But you might want to realize that there has been ample proof of these past lives. "For the most part" only means that there were some humans out there trying to prove a fact in a way that was not, indeed, true, however, if proof surfaces about anything in a different spectrum then it would obviously be true to a point. Divine truth would state that we should not even be concluding. However, it is human nature ad if human nature is to wonder than it was ment to be.

"Darkness" and "Light" are simply ideas. Dark areas don't harm, they just make it easier for other humans or animals to hunt you down. Light is a shine of hope for many, however, no one knows light to be hope, faith, or otherwise. It could simply be the Sun. The greatest aspect about this world in that respect, however, if that we have the right to think what we want. Spiritually, ofcourse. Politically and cross continental is a whole different story.

but is it possible to have darkness inside of light?

What do you think a shadow is?

My point was that darkness and light may not be good or bad.

Yeah.. but the world today has a lot more people then it did a couple thousand years ago... even hundred years ago... What you're saying is that some people are the reincarnates of the same people sort of...

As far as religion, I'm agnostic. That's as much as needs to be said because I've contemplated too much over this by myself. It's not something human beings get to decide, so we leave possibilities open.

As far as breaking away from life, making our own decisions, I actually don't believe that either.. My thoughts could probably turn the sane insane if actually thought hard about. Think about it, things don't get multiple endings. We exist in the present at one time, we get one chance at every given moment to make a decision, a thought, an action. We can say, 'What if Britain won the Revolutionary War?' But when we actually look at it, -they couldn't have.- Why? Because time has already passed, the choices could only be made once so they never really stood a chance because time only flows in one direction. As such, we may not know the future or be able to predict it, but it's always there, unable to be changed. We can't forge our fate, fate is forged for us... Time is a wonderful thing, but the present is so short.

a person is what they want to be at the end of the day.

Sambambam said it best. I have my opinions and you all have yours.

I'll answer one of your questions, however, Purple Hedgehog whom names escape. According to experts in the fields it's said that a certain individual can pick and choose when to incarnate. That's why the Earth's population is always somewhat different as the years go by. You're not instantly given birth once you die. Heres my thing though that I want to ask of you and to some it may seem cruel to say or hurtful but it's ment in an adult-to-adult way and maturity is well respected with me. Why would you not want the past life scenario? It just means that you do, indeed, live on. I'd rather not be Earthbound my entire life and stay with only one life and one vessel. To me, once you've died you are a spirit whom knows their experiences and of a far greater intelligence than most humans are right now. My beliefs are very much original and don't go by religion, moreso than years of research because, again, I am a theologian, but as I said I think we should listen to ourselves and not care about other opinions unless we're interested. I don't like the idea of people all thinking the same way. We were put on this Earth and right now, to live our lives to what we want them to be lived to is all that should matter. If you don't think so, then you'll need to think more, and deeply too. (By the way, I was saying "you" in general)

Not My Philosophy- My Reality!

(talking about the sig)

It's simple, because I am me and I don't enjoy the idea of living from the experiences of another. However, I'm not someone who denies possibility, so while I may not enjoy the idea, I am against ignorance and I file it as possible, especially in this world of strangeness.

I do believe time is in a current course and there really is no such thing as a choice.. Time flows quickly and only in one direction. If some ask you red or blue, in the instant you say one of those choices that was what you had to make. If you said blue, you couldn't have said red. It's because you said that color at the given moment. From the beginning of time, we've been always moving to this point. As humans, we may not be able to predict the future, but the future is always the same, no matter how far ahead. If we believe we find clues to our demise, do you think we can actually change the fate of our abolishment? No.. That'd be more of a fantasy. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe human beings are strong enough to pull forth and alter time, but not in this stage.. so far, we can only travel the present and choices are really an illusion of time.

I don't discuss religion with my mother, for the same reasons I don't discuss politics with my father.

The thing I hate about being agnostic is that you have to explain it to everyone... People know what religion is, they know what atheism is, but they don't know was agnosticism is for the most part.

People don't always know what Atheism is. Some of them just assume that they are the same as Satists.

Well.. that'd be a complete misunderstanding of course.. I hate how that happens though. Sometimes you try to explain something too and people fail to listen.

Is anybody really innocent until they're proven guilty?

Yep, or non-theist. :...:
