Questioner
Excuse my bipolar answers, I'm only human .
Is something without value inherently worthless?
In this day an' age, a lot of people categorize various aspects of their lives as either something with or without value, everything in this world must be one or the other, however Value & Worthlessness aren't mutually exclusive terms, and there are many things in our lives that fall somewhere in between, or are both, or occasionally transition between the two over time or depending on the context.
So, can something without value also not necessarily be worthless? Is it ok to do something or have something that is neither worthless nor valuable?
2 AnswersPhilosophy4 years agoUnknown Experimentation?
You're questioning me, accusing me
Salty tears running across the field
"I'd rather not answer that"
Pour that salt on this ruined canvas
You read me all wrong, you think I'm crying because of you
Take the water and colour it bloody red
I don't know what I want
Race your shaking arms across, fingers subtle and sure
You're voice turns sickly sweet, like processed lemons
Be sure to make that mark on this ruined canvas
I can't give you what I want
Let the salt star-burst the deepest hue
You can't talk to me and expect me to hear you
These strokes are so soft, so meaningless and important
I can't run my life by your expectations
When all I can give into this ruined canvas
Is unknown experimentation
Pouring out from my own world
I can't connect with you
But I'm trying so hard to understand
But nothing's working out like you want it to
I'm crying not because of you
I'm crying for myself
The only person in my world
is me
alone
so selfishly.
Just needed a little screaming with words.

Eyes wider than the sky,
my chest would swell as
I’m filled with billowing wonder.
The salty tears make reality,
swim into my dreams as
I’m overturned, falling higher.
Just a moment I felt while listening to a song, and then the first line popped into my head and I just wrote from there. Really simple and whatnot... I want to go back, feel like it needs some tweaking, maybe, not so sure.
2 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoDon't have to read, just felt like putting this up?
Timeless night, endless fright,
Where is God when you need him most?
As we wait, time make haste, till its final post.
For this morrow, there’s a pause.
Let them slip, you are the cause.
Wrongness strikes
For human light
In thine hands and yet still sin the spikes
Of broken love…
5 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoWhat is philosophy? or what it is not...?
From a quote: philosophy is not a quest for knowledge.
Personally, I just like to wonder what others think philosophy is.
2 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhy don't we ask answers?
Always asking questions, I was wondering if we could ever ask answers? ... Not entirely sure how to do that though, but we can try?
Why is 4 equal to 2 and 2? Why is it 'Cause and Effect' that the black billard ball move after being hit by the white one? Why is why not the answer to why!?
Questions are appreciated.
**didn't make any sense to me, but maybe one day it will~**
12 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWe are all asking questions ...?
but whenever I look here, I feel like there's something missing, painfully obvious but the questions are just going in circles. Something right in front of us, but we are instead looking fare away into the distance, like looking around the room for something in your hand, or your pocket.
So, what are we missing? Or are we simply unable to recognize it?
3 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhen time dies . . . . ?
... or passes by, or is not 'present' where does it go?
For dead time is not 'not time'.
6 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoI'm not who you think I am...?
This phrase keeps running through my head recently, and not just a reflection of what others think of me but what little I myself know of others.
We cannot ever understand a person completely, but there is a fine line between assuming someone is what their not than knowing what they are. Everyone has that little piece of themselves that others just will never see, but where is the limit?
We are our own centre of the universe, so do we keep pushing ourselves onto others without trying to learn about them in return? Are more and more people living in their own world and ignoring others, whether people immediately outside of themselves or just outside their 'group'?
What makes your desires more important than anyone elses? Because it's 'yours'?
Just thoughts amongst thoughts~
3 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoA song without music...?
Can there be a song without music as art without imagery or time without measurement?
7 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoA conversation is a two person thing...?
Add more people and the speaker becomes the entertainer.
Agree, or disagree? If so, convince me~
7 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhat does death mean to you?
As we are all living beings, death is but a thought's shadow, so what does death really mean to those we call alive? To some it's the end, to others a time or reuniting with their god(s), others a whole new beginning, so what say you?
7 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoHow do you make a kid good?
To make a kid good, would you tell them about Santa Clause *aka. Nicholas* or God?
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoCan Love have a Universal Form? Why or why not?
For philosophers who actually bothered to read Plato's works, or those who grumbled through it because of philosophy class, you count too.
*disclaimer: I already know the answer, but try to convince me otherwise.*
5 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhat would the sun look like in the night sky?
And I'm not asking what would the sky look like, we all know it turns, sometimes, blue and the stars disappear, I'm asking about the sun.
