Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, my question is, in the area of philosophy, what one ,,?

That happiness is the most important thing there is, that other things are just paths to being happy, and that focusing on being happy with who I am and where I am without being complacent or too easily satisfied is the best way to live.

That's my thought.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Spike, I got here in late, been out to a kin member's "ranch" for the great kin dinner. all the greater youthful'ens had numerous relaxing seeing the horses, livestock canines, and the cutest little donkey! Then countless adult males in the kin performed their guitars as all of us accrued on the patio, making a song all the previous songs that we've sung for the final thirty years or so. We lost mom this twelve months, and pa some years returned, so there have been some bittersweet moments as we remembered previous holidays at the same time. The meal grew to become into marvelous, and the corporate grew to become into surprising. the place as quickly as we've been the greater youthful marrieds with little little ones, we at the instant are the elders, and our baby's little ones will quickly be getting to the greater youthful married point. lifestyles is going on, and God has been form. thank you for the poem and for the desires. happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and to all the S/C posters!

Everything happens for a reason.

There is no point in holding grudges, having regrets, complaining about things you have no control over, hating, or trying to be someone you're not. Think of every experience as a learning opportunity and move on.

For me, there isn't just one. Life has many aspects and to apply only one lesson to them all is not very wise.

1. Decide for yourself

2. Keep an open mind.

3. It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose.

4 Treat others in the manner that you would like to be treated.

There are others, but these are the most widely applicalbe to me.

The concept of 'Karma'

From this ancient concept, I now realise that everything we do is accountable for, on a cosmic scale

therefore, If I punch someone in the face - even if it was unprovoked - according to the concept of Karma

he must have done something awful, to someone, at sometime, to deserve it

and I have no need to feel guilty at all

Happy thanksgiving!!

We also celebrate thanksgiving in the UK... we give thanks that we got rid of those uptight right wing moralistic pilgrim fathers.

The most important is that the power of cognition within me works by the rules of nature, and within the mind this nature is epistemology. Epistemology is the virtue, the means, by which you gain and keep the validity of subjects of knowledge.

Knowing epistemology has natural rules makes it easier to know one exists, that the world exists, and that one is sane--or insane if the condition has not gotten so bad you don't have cognition of it.

To live in the present, banish all thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow and you will experience the Now. Which is all we really have anyway.

Experience leads to all.

That keen observation is the best teacher.
