To me this is a foundational truth, and many of my arguments for or against, are based on the fact that most people who claim certain things have little knowledge of what they claim. <<Facil
I have to agree here for sure, there have been so many people who walk the walk, run the mouth and yet have no information or knowledge of what they are talking about. I've asked priests how many years past between the old testament and the new testament and never got the answer, which is 400 years. "Philosophy is good for nothing, that's good, since nothing doesn't exist" <<Facil I disagree. Philosophy is good because we exist, we coexist and we share philosophical imaginations. This helps me to try and not to get caught up in the endless conundrums that are often self evident to anyone with a keen sense of the obvious. In other words, stay away from the "What if's". <<Facil Truth is there are really very few answers. The enigma of life is the what if's and so we, after thousands of years still wonder, and wonder and wonder while we philosophize in an attempt to find resolution. Surely we have some conclusion but still settle upon unsubstantiated beliefs in an attempt to move on, carry on, make a life, but unfortunately there are too many differing unsubstantiated beliefs. Ergo: War "The world would be a better place if the wise doings outnumbered the wise sayings". <<Facil So, I would have to ask, what are you doing?
