Peace - Page 9

Same here: you asked an honest question; made an honest point.

I did the same, so, peace, monster, peace...HA!

ok lets see ...

1) I initially found you intriguing. That lasted till you were repeatedly asked for supporting info, and/or clarifications and you repeatedly couldn't or wouldn't.

2) Your opinion of me is meaningless. You don't know me nor anything about me.

3) At this point, I'll take the "I don't like you" option and move on for now.

4) Perhaps another time/place... stranger things have happened. Its too bad, you came highly recommended.

5) Then again, after finding out your were/are somehow related to PD ... I should have known better than to bother.

Likewise, I'm sure...

This morning I slept past the usual time I get up. I woke to my cat. He would gently tap my cheek once with his paw then sit there staring at me. I would barely open one eye and doze back off then he would gently tap my cheek once again. I am not sure how many taps it took for me to awaken fully but I remember three and it looked as though he had been sitting there for awhile just methodically tapping my cheek in a sneaky..'it wasn't me kind of way'.

I know he was hungry as usual but I thought it was quite the use of subterfuge for an animal. It was nothing less than sneaky. How did he come up with that if it's all about instinct? He has never done that before.

henry quirk · 10-02-2009, 01:44 PM

The cat was hungry, you are its source of food, you overslept (I presume past its normal feeding time), it wanted food, it went to the source.

Don't underestimate the complexity of the animal or downplay the intricacies of instinct. I don't. I also don't mistake instinct and training for 'self', or person-hood.

Your animal can learn, can adapt, is relatively intelligent, but it doesn't self-reflect, has no consciousness of self, isn't an 'I'.

Your cat didn't say to itself, 'gee, I'm hungry...Sky is dragging ass this morning...I best go and rouse her'.

Instead: the animal is hungry...habit and routine say food should be in place...it's not...you are the source of food...cat goes to the source of food...cat taps you on the face, not to rouse you, but to get food.

Seems to me a perfectly reasonable chain of events having nothing to with understanding, or 'I'ness.

hehehe

See you can do animal talk.

He has such a Garfield face so I got a chuckle out of your animal ad lib.

Even while negating the likelihood there is that part of you that went so far as to imagine what the cat might say and that image is the one I like best.

Plus it makes life more fun.

henry quirk · 10-02-2009, 02:07 PM

and: that's fine, Sky.

I have no problem with agreeing to disagree...

I am not exactly disagreeing either. It's not about proving or disproving. I'm just picking and choosing. I choose to see this in a subjective rather than a critical or objective way. I know there must be a smidgen of truth in what you say. Much of science agrees with you.

Perhaps only critical and objective statements are best for a philosophy thread and I am way off the mark but there doesn't seem to be much critical analysis happening here anyway so I thought to have fun with it.

There will only be peace once we are all crushed into a singularity

W.HI.P · 10-06-2009, 07:22 PM

the word peace has lost its meaning.
its used to describe war.

it is not within our nature to have peace.
we've always made war, and we will always make war.
within human perception, war is as much a god as jesus or allah.

in this day and age, with human over-population, war holds greater value than peace.
war is a blessing if you think about it, much like a virus, aids, homo-sexuality and natural disasters.
our deaths need to start out-numbering our births.
some nations need to follow in china's footsteps.
