Paragon Posted October 19, 2009 Brained fatigued? Seeker, I don't now what that even means. Elaborate, please? And yes it's not no longer saturday. So I hope you are not eye-strained. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeKer Posted October 21, 2009 Originally posted by J11: I mean if I can subjectively define a moment in my own terms, because 'I am', what am I? You are mass occupying space Ofcourse all involves thoughts, so am I a thinking thing? If your brain neurons are firing then I would say yes you are a thinking thing They say 'I think, therefore I am'. I understand the 'thinking' or the witness', but what is the definition of the 'I am'? How can 'I be'? Ah the soliloquy of Hamlet To be, or not to be that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep No more, and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep perchance to dream ay, there's the rub To be means you chose life or death......action or inaction. Which my dear J11 leads me to question if you ascribe to Nietzche, who was forever seeing life as a struggle and a meaningless one at that leading one to create their own value system which fits them like a hand to a glove. What say you my friend? The ball is in your court Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paragon Posted October 22, 2009 ^Nietzche? No. He's too sane, too rational for my liking. I ascribed to older and very nutty schools than most people hardly know of. A non-public denominon that has not so many members - more members isn't really adviced, as this could really speed up global warming. I AM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
