It all comes down to a few things. The base is desire. then perception, followed by justification and acceptence. Before any given action, there exists a desire, and this desire is shaped by how the person percieves things. Then they have to justify these actions to themselves, and maybe others. They must then also accept what they have done. Also, it is then decided as good or bad. basicly that's what it comes down to.
I'd like to post a sound clip of Bertrand Russell speaking shortly about desire, i find it interesting. i'll also touch on the MEANING od life itself here soon, i'm rather tired right now, so i think this will be all i have to say for awhile. though you should see how i connect this ideal with most other beliefs i will present. ![]() |

"All human activity is prompted by desire. There is a wholy fallacious theory that it is possible to resist desire in the interest of duty and moral priciple. I say this is fallacious, not because no man acts from a sense of duty, but, because duty has no hold on him, unless he desires to be dutifull. If you wish to know what men do, you must know not only or pricipaly their material circumstances, but rather the whole system of their desires with their relative strengths" bertrand russell
time? time is but a variable defined by man... also, i'd like to explain more why you think my theory yields to randomness or even chaos. this intersts me, please further explore that notion so i can understand where you are comming from. |
