Quote:About nothing being the same -- you seem to have similar views to Heraclitus. Heraclitus believed everything is in a state of flux. Aristotle later said, "If everything is in flux, and nothing is permanent, then how do we know the words you are stating and i am hearing at this instant, are...

Quote: Standards are discovered, not created. They are produced, not created.
a bit of contradiction here?
anyway, we percive natural law to b a constant and it is our faith in it that we hold it to b a constant.nothing is constant in this world , onli wat we perceive to be.
on a lighter...
my point is you can't define good or evil.
you may say that they are standards..but by whose standards??
these standards r come up wif by us humans
therefore it is more of a perception rather than a reality
this is sort of a question that examies how far u would gp for freedom
big fish small pond...u r the king of the world but yr kingdom is limited
small fish big ocean..u r small fry but u r free to roam the 4 corner of the world...
so which is better?
tough question...

besides, if all the animals eat, and survive we would face another whole set of problems that would threaten their survival such as overpopluation, dwindling food supply...going by your...
i disagree wif dekoi.
evil and good did not always exist. it only came to b when the first human came to b and perceive the world around him.
a sheep a goat a caterpillar do not wat is good or evil: there is no such things to them, onli survival matters to them
Besides, the colour blue is...
juz a question to c yr thoughts n tis question is open to interpretation
is it better to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a large ocean?
i would like to point out that 'evil' and 'good' are attributes that we humans come up with.as such before humans came to be, there were no such things as evil and good...
if there was no evil and no good then there should not be a god...
there would just be nothing.
thatz not lazy.
thatz crazy.
hey it rhymns...haha
seriously if u don't even go up then what is the purpose of buying a apartment in a high rise building?
hey omni i saw yr quote n found it very interesting...
It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - )
very cool but having intelligence means u live longer n better isn't it?
i was sitting there in my chair one night admiring the stars when a question struck me. For years since i was born people told me that being hardworking is a virtue. but hey, if u r hardworking won't u walk up the stairs everyday and night? only lazy people would take the lift. but that is not...
but i dun beileve in a exisitent present... look at the thread there is no present...there is only the past and the future
prove me wrong by proving there is a present:p
but Iacchus32
u miss my point...what i mean is that everything u do is of free will.just like u can have cooffee then tea or vice versa.so this is where free will comes in. but tis free will is seemingly under the pretext of predestination cos whichever choice u make i can say it is predestined...
but after i drink the cup of coffee can't i still drink the cup of tea?
wont i still have free will?
n with that free will i am fooled into thinking i actually have free will when the truth is it is predestined. so itz like a chicken and egg ...it goes on in a circle...
so i agree that the...
wow
man that took a while to digest haha
ok when i thought of the present i think it as an instaneous moment.so perhaps defining the present as an experience does not work here since it does not exisit
second u mentioned the present as the instaneous moment which mean it cannot be measured...
ok...i am quite tired now so pardon me for any errors...let goes
my agruement is that there is no present becos of two reasons.
firstly there is still no clear cut definition for time.hence we cannot define present.it is not an qulaitive value.
second, when one say present it have alredi...
