Nickel-for-your-thoughts

It seems there is so much knowledge (facts) and not enough virtue - and temperance seems to be greatly lacking. What are your thoughts? How can we have more temperance and what could be the result (benefit)?

“…the surest and truest foundation for affirming the exceptional status of human beings and the moral requirement to treat them in a non-utilitarian way is either implicitly or explicitly theological."

We are influenced by so many things, how can we truly be ourselves

and express ourselves as artists, inventors, home makers, etc. in

truly unique and sincere ways? What are some of the best ways to

achieve that? Thanks!

Where do you get correct information about how to live,

why to live, etc.

What is true about it?

I think it goes beyond just escape or

experiencing a bunch of feelings.

What do you think?

Does it teach us anything or cause us

to actually explore anything?

I am not talking about political freedoms per se, more like

personally in heart/spirit that reflect in actions, as far

as what you know you are capable of that makes you

forever free and justified in life. Please describe, thanks!

What makes a person truly free (we are usually not free in all

areas, we have confusions, doubts and questions,

but what makes the areas free - how is freedom reached)?

Why do children ask why, why do teens ask why, and why do

adults ask why?

that your priorities and choices are based upon?

How do you choose a correct religion?

Is life trivial?

Please describe.

Thanks!

sort of like eccentric vs. insane in a way or some other

type of comparrison.

I am not really talking about passion as in sexual passion

or obsession in particular - more about passion or obsession about anything, more in general to cover more

meaning.

Thanks!

Is it important to first love yourself more in order to love others more or can you love others and see good in them too in order to love yourself better and see good things in yourself, or how do you think that works best?

Is just being empty or what, if any, significance does it

have?

Do you think logic in an of iteslf, for example, "just is"?

And God also said, "I AM"

what gene mutations my great great great grandchildren will have and how it will change their functions, abilities, life spans, disease potential, etc.?

Can it predict what kind of traits life will have in

a few thousand years and if more species will become asexual, for example?

Can other sciences/theories predict what could be far in the

future and create models via mechanisms better than

evolution can at this point?

are love and value the same thing?

Is love emotion or does it produce emotion?

is love about values, character, decisions and actions

that can greatly improve or greatly deminish?

How is love a building block of society if it is only

thought to be emotion, or is it a building block of

society?

For example, logic tells us to build a sign and

how to build one strong so it stays up, wind or rain.

Logic tells us to build a sign so others can

understand the message we want to convey.

So why convey a message?

Because of what is loved and valued.

So, is love a foundation or is logic a foundation?

Any other examples?

Love determines our values and so does logic and sometimes

they compete.

How do you resolve this?
