What we deem as important we will easily remember: if we found everything worthy enough of our attention then memorizing would not be work but leisure!
"Common sense is not so common." Voltaire. How did the originators of 'common knowledge' become forgotten? So many insignificant "anonymous's" built our foundations for everyday life.
There is a time when silence can be loud- the split second AFTER we shut off the loud music or tv.
"The Creator wanted to look away from himself so he created the world." Nietzsche. God was too perfect so he got bored! We are his experiment. What happens when the "bored creator's" creations become bored? How ironic that God couldn't create something infinitely interested anymore...I'm such a nihilist.
Entertainment has taken the entertainment out of reality.
The Greeks overdid pride while Christ overdid shame. Is there an in-between yet?
Existentialism: It's as if because we HAVE to exist that we fear to exist. "There's nothing to fear execpt fear itself" takes another dimension of meaning when we question too much.
I will never not want to die because immortality wouldn't make life a test.
Reincarnation isn't fair. How can the "previous choices" (or lifes) that were unconscious to me now have affected my being today?
A sort of LACK of concentration is when we fully comprehend something. Dont think truth, FEEL truth.
Nirvana- being the absense of desire- cannot be desired!!!
Argueing about if free-will exists is the highest act of free-will!
Learning is only the individual's experience and attitude. We only interperet interpereters: we can never "know" what the know.
If thought is just a bunch of chemicals in the right combination then matter has as much life as anyone.
SINCE WE CANNOT PROVE LOVE WE CANNOT JUSTIFY A MORALITY BASED OFF OF "LOVE OF THY NEIGHBOR". ALl morality just comes from that improvable 'gut feeling'.
Having intellectual intergrity is a form of pity that proves pity neccesary. Nietzsche is wrong.
The contradiciton of knowledge: does validity count in our heads or in our hearts?
