The base of life/beliefs/actions, in mental terms-philosophy Options

[LordAwesome]

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.

^^^ Why did you place this quote here? Duty does not serve to define the content or scope of my last post. I don't see the point you are making with the placement of this.

Life and death are a function of time not only for mankind, but every other organic entity existing in this universe as well. If this does not place time as a base determinant of the nature of existence in this universe, nothing does. The cycles of time reflected in days, seasons, etc. serve to show time as a function of more than mane-made phenomena. The presentation of your philosophical view, or any other for that matter, is only possible with time. As a result, it only comes down to one thing - time. Without it, no thing can exist.

How about sharing some of your thoughts instead of quoting someone else's. A debate is predicated on the assertion of an opinion. Being stimulated by reading/listening to the views of someone else hardly qualifies as a debate. You cannot consider this a debate when you are simply copying/pasting text from another source.

Alrite, Ill share one of mine. Instinct is what motivates all organic beings. Though knowledge, beliefs, justice, and morals are important, they branch off of instincts.
