Mr. A's Philosophy On Life #1

[Mr.A]

I wish I had more time to jumpstart this thread off, but it should be ok. I will add more later of course when I have time.

Through all things I've experienced the only truths I have been able to grant the title of Absolute Truths is two things. Only two things that is the premise of all things that makes up our universe as I know it. Simple too, yet so complex when openned up in conversation with other people.

Good and Bad
Light and Dark
Righteousness and Evil
Inspiration and Corruption

To me these words are interchangeable.

What do they mean to you people of Rorta?
I hope your all ready for this, if you don't realize yet, this is a bombshell being dropped.:werd:

Thanks in advance for all your opinions, I feel this will help not only myself in my quest for truth in this world but everyones as well. Contribute freely, I only ask you really think before you post.

What are these two all encompassing statements?
I've never believed that there is such a thing as a unifying one size fits all philosophy to the universe. But I'd still love to hear your statements.

I don't think there is any such thing as Good or Bad, Light or Dark or is there anything such as Righteousness and Corruption. There is no such thing of those aformentioned things.

Things just "are" if you know what i mean.

Mostly Good and Evil are terms used in a relegious context (EG: God and Satan) . However in the real world nothing is black and white, nothing is really good or evil like i said things just are.

I dont beleive anything or anyone is truly Evil at all. What the Nazies did was Evil no doubt about it but where the Nazies and WW II Era Germans evil for partaking in the Holocaust and persecuting minorities? No they werent they were blinded by Propaganda, Fascism and Bigotry. They truly beleived in what they were doing and that it was good.

Those who do cold and heartless things(Mass Murder etc) aren't evil either though the things they do may be.
Just extrmely troubled people.

I hope i made sense ....I have trouble expressing myself on these sort of philosphical topics....:arg:

I believe that everything is relative.

[crazy white guy]

My views:

Good and Bad

Polar opposites. Both have to do directly with one's perception of good and evil.

Light and Dark

Light is the presence of photons or 'goodness' whereas darkness is the absence of it. That does not mean they are opposites but two different things entirely. If there were a universe where photons did not exist, would there be such thing as darkness? Its all a matter of viewpoint. If there's no darkness to start with, there's nothing to say that there is less than or an absence of something that has never existed.

Righteousness and Evil

No comment

Inspiration and Corruption

Another member of this forum said that everyone in the world is and always must be corrupt in some way if they are acting upon their own judgment for their aims are always that which they set. Working towards a goal is selfish, corruption is loosely synonymous with selfishness and greed. So if you want anything to be done and are performing an action to get it done, it is an action of corruption rather than righteousness.

That's a bit hard to swallow so here's an example:

I want peace on earth, so I rally support for the cause. So Im using other peoples' resources to accomplish MY goal, regardless of what certain groups want.

If you were to exclude the first sentence of the two, I would be called a selfish bastard. So corruption is tolerated and even promoted when its to a goal that fits with a certain groups ideologies.

[Mr.A]

Many great points about my philosophy were raised and I plan to address them all...as best I can, so please be patient. I'll go in chronological order of posts with questions to help clear some things up. To make this easier, understand that after this post I will not respond to anything in this thread unless it is a question. Here we go!

@supperrfreek: These two all incompassing statements are simple. I said them already, Good and Bad, or any of the other I mentioned or whatever makes you feel comfortable. My philosophy is based on an assumption that everyone knows inside of themselves what Good and Bad are. I too didn't think at one time there was such a theory, but now I do.

@daynnight: I think you did just fine at expressing your philosophical ideas. It sounds to me your having trouble understanding this because you see the gray area in everything. I do not deny that their is "grey" in this theory, but the White and Black are the only two that "fit" with everything I've applied it to. There is no room for the grey, simply put. Man was fathered by God, therefore to me, We(Man) are trying to aspire to be God. To be, by definition of the word, perfect. All Good.

@.VX: I wish you would elaborate. It looks like you didn't try hard enough.:worried:

@crazy white guy: Thanks for your input, it sounds to me as if you are on the correct path.

Please understand I too am still on my own journey at understanding these concepts, but I'm trying.

I hope to continue this conversation with many more answers. Thanks a lot everybody for listening to me thus far.:grouphug:

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. PM me if you would like, but I would prefer to keep this public.

My updated philosophy on life is exactly what you demonstrated, thank you so much :):):arms:

[odin_dax]

Maybe I scanned this thread too quickly, but it looks like BS. No offense, Mr A, but why start a philosophical thread without stating your own opinion on the topic raised? Maybe you don't have one, but why not try to state one? And then what's the point of trying to respond critically to other peoples' views?

Just wondering...

[Day_N_Night]

I'm pretty sure he gave his own opinion but didn't really delve into any detail.

[The Schizoid Hatter]

I'm pretty sure he gave his own opinion but didn't really delve into any detail.

He bestowed upon us a list of words to define, for we are obviously his students in this proverbial philosophy class.

[REL0AD]

didn't really delve into any detail.

Oh fuck off, that's what Odin basically said. Fag. :reporter:

[Day_N_Night]

Odin said that he didnt state his own opinion. I pointed out that did infact state his own opinion. So.......

You must be kinda slow....

[odin_dax]

Well, he didn't state his own opinion, just responded to what others said. That's what I said before and it's still true. If you need to refresh, my original post is just a few scrolls up.

To be precise and clear, of the context in which I spoke in my original post, opinion = position.

[The Real]

Says the man whom was fucked over by a bunch of Indians. :cool1: Peace much?

"To me these words are interchangeable."


I think that qualifies as a position although barely a position at all. Anyway lets end this back and forth as it is not revelant to the conversation.
