Well, are you talking an over-all philosophy or things for more specific matters? ninja Many specific philosophies are contained within larger philosophies.

[off topic] What do you mean what happened to it? confused like all the sub-forums here, there are more and less active periods it goes through. If you find this unsatisfactory, like everybody else, you are free to make new threads. I have not personally been making new threads even though it's been slow at the moment purely because I've been busy and this slow pace is one that suits my ability to keep up with. If things are still slow when my time is freed up I intend to work on getting things going again myself. 3nodding [/off topic]
[on topic] I think an example of a quick, simple, and small, but good "philosophy" is the saying "you reap what you sow." wink [/on topic]

I haven't yet really tested this philosophy but I believe that everything works if it is balanced. Everything in the universe that works is balanced . For example the food chain.

Ah yes, but part of the challenge of that idea is how you define "balance" for various unique categories, subjects, situations, and so on. Some things you may not be able to define a balance for a situation even to test that idea out. And in some cases the question is what aspect needs to be balanced. Like say for example somebody could spend half of their waking hours drunk and/or high and half sober. That's balanced right? However, half of your waking hours every day spent totally incoherent will still leave you incapable to do most jobs and can and usually WILL get you fired for being an unproductive employee. In this case there was a balance present, yet it still caused a break down in function.

Yeah but those balances don't compliment each other and by doing half your day drinking, your not balancing yourself in a good way. I guess the word moderation would best apply to those situatins. Don't do too much of anything.

Well you could look at it as the balance of balances, with a new one an old one had to go.
My philosophy, life is nothing but individual perspective. Which can be proven through science.

A subjectivist then, eh? You do not believe in any sort of universal human rights then? Alright, then I'll pose a hypothetical situation. Suppose somebody has/adopts/finds/steals or in some other way acquires a child. This person, for no more reason than to see if they could do it or just for kicks, raises the child in a way to instill in the child, to the point of brainwashing pretty much, the idea that killing people unprovoked is a good and proper thing to do (while making sure the child would never kill them of course.) This child then after reaching about the age of adult hood is released into a grocery store parking lot by the person who raised it and told to go off and do as it would because they are now an adult and the person was done with taking care of the former child. You were walking out of the grocery store and are the first person spotted by the former child. You never even saw the person before you were too crippled to fight back and defend yourself. You are killed in a matter of minutes by a person who truly believes what they are doing is right and good. Does this belief that what they are doing is good actually make it so and give them the right to deprive you of your life when you have done nothing to harm them in any way prior?

lol I always get people thinking that I mean that in the ten year-old way. We live through experiences and those experiences are based on how we view them, and how we view them determines how we react. Add that to the fact that we can only comprehend things when we have something else to compare it to. Through that little tid bit I believe everything must have an opposite to balance or to be compared to the original subject in question. Heck even time is man made, the relativity theory. Also, when you look at it without prejudice than yes the action is justified, but given your perspective, it is not justified. xp Though I would not stand for it, and, as I see it fit, the person would have to be removed from my relative world, by force is necessary. So, have you had experience in dealing with these ten year-olds?

Technically, as far as humans experience things, we've never had an opposite/absence/alternative to "time" that we've experienced. We first developed a concept of "time" and from there the only real alternative we've got to time (as far as I know of, correct me if I'm wrong) is we've come up with the concept of "time and said to ourselves "now imagine if it stopped." We don't actually have anything to compare it too, we had to make up our idea of the thing and then the absence of said thing. I wouldn't say time itself is man made at all, just how we define it is.
Also, people's view points are influenced by their experiences -- it's a two way street. Past experience can change how you view something and therefore how you react to other things in relation.
Wow. You really think that being "objective" requires everybody's thoughts and judgments to be just as valid as anybody else's? neutral Does the guy who insists 2+2=7 and claims some warped math system he has as part of a "moral" system he has hold just as much validity in what you would say is being "objective"? But actually, while I have spoken to many people with such views, they tend to be from the ages of 12-15 mostly with the occasional grumpy middle aged person who's bound and determined to take whatever view point is as cynical and/or defeatist in attitude as possible.
