Default Re: Real World Philospohy

i'm happy. it's better than sad. why bother?

i truly don't see the need. any way you slice it, happy IS better than sad. i know i can't prove it in any more than a 'feel good' way, but he can't prove his on a 'feel bad' way, simply because he'd have to prove why that'd be better. so as far as i can see, the burden of proof is with him.

Actually... it is up to Atrocities to prove that he is right first...

Umm... that is not proof in any shape of the word... circular logic at best...

ok, maybe i just need more sleep. but i fail to see how asking you to prove a point amounts to even circular logic, which at least backs itself up.

First off I am not passing judgement. I have no right to do so and would never attempt to do so. I am discussing philospohical concepts and nothing more. I can prove what I say to be true, but no one here would want to read such a dark and depressing post. Read further for a taste of what I could post.

Keep in mind that philosophy is often a depressing and mood ruining experience.

I never sad feeling sad is better, I said that
"Happiness is an illusion of an imprisonned mind trying to make the best of a hopeless situation."

"The illusion of happiness never Lasts. It is created by the mind as it attempts to escape from the imprisonment of its own misery." - Depression 101

By its very nature happiness is a rare and short lived phenominon. For every thing that makes you happy, there is three things that make you sad.

If you are happy, truly happy, and can see nothing wrong with the world around you as nothing in it effects your happy mood, then your sanity is in question.

IE if nothing makes you sad, and you are always in a state of happiness then how do you know what unhappiness is? True happiness is not a Lasting emotion. A person who says they are always happy and never find any reason to be unhappy are hiding from something.

It is easier to be in a good mood and have faith when your comfortable and have money, but when you have nothing, and every day brings more and more bad news, and bad luck, faith and happiness are things that come in short supply.

I ask you to consider what true Lasting happiness really is? Prove that happiness is Lasting and I will concede to your philosphy, otherwise, I chose to follow my own path as I know the truth about my life, and the world that I live in. And unfortunetly that world is not always a happy place.

But if I could make it one, I would.
