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.

i had stated previousely that i would share that quote.

Time isn't really something that physicly effects us. It is just a measure. As far as desire being the reason for life itself, that wasn't what i was driving for, more that it dictates human action. Also, quoting another source with a similar idea is perfectly fine. You act as if i have not myself presented any ideas of my own. Agian, your over critical analasys of my stance irritates me. But, that is ierrelevant. I was simply questioning the basis to your oposition in your previous post, if you have a problem with further explaining yourself, i appologize.

If time doesn't effect us, how do you account for birth and death? As a plausable theory desire can possibly motivate action, but not necessarily. There are many other theories that address motivation that include randomness and chaos as I previously stated. Just because you like the notion that desire dictates human action, does not promote it beyond the level of theory.

The nature of debate is the exchange of opinions. Quotes can help, but should not be the basis of your position. Debating also allows for the consideration of different views. I'm not being overly critical, just pointing out inherent flaws in your presentation and supporting alternative theories. Don't take it personally. If you want wholesale support of your idea, don't post it in debate.

I did explain myself in further detail. Read my response. I thought you suggested that you previously won a debate with a teacher. That suggests an understanding of the protocol for debate.
