  • Is Ammonia Hydroxide (NH4OH) acidic or basic?

    I am not sure since NH4 is a weakly acidic cation, but OH- is a basic anion. On litmus paper would an aqueous solution read basic or acidic?

  • Justification in hurting others? How can one act?

    If hurting people unnecessarily is a sin, and in life, you cannot please everybody, how should one act? It is natural for there to be discrepancies in life where as with lovers, one is chosen and the other is not. Such decisions hurt people. Should one not admit to one’s feelings in order to omit the pain? Should one avoid these life cycles completely in order to avoid the chances? (Surely, in life people should take chances.) How can we justify to ourselves living in these vicious circles?

  • Applied Aristotle?

    Aristotle is quoted as saying, "It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we desire."

    Building from this quote, my questions are :

    What are the purposes that you seek in life? How do you strive to attain them?

    Alternatevely: Why do you choose not to strive after purposes? What causes you to feel that it is not necessary?
