I like that Phil, and i agree. There's only a cut to freedom when you follow someone else's ideologies. That only happens with people that follow a religion, or another group (scientology etc) or believe that there must be a greater, already given, meaning to their existence (don't like the idea of being nobodys) If you…
Well if its going to go down that path Ill just have to make sure its a safe one. Almost all religions are based around one basic principle, and thats to live a good life and to make a positive difference. All the rules and mantras are there to lead people down a path of beliefs that would have them making a positive…
Hey Gauss, That holocaust survivor/psychologist is named Victor Frankle. He wrote a book called "Man's search for meaning". Great book if anyone here has read it, good job.

Strange im just going to ignore your whole reply cause you were probebly drunk or being sarcastic or something ...hopefully ...but 1: Nobody said the aliens were mortal they don't say what they are they take the form of her father just like in the movie. However it does hint that his paticular species is billions of years…
I've been thinking about questions like this over the last month, since my mum passed away. It is definately a personal question, where nobody's answer is going to be the same. I pretty much have 2 answers: To live life as best you can, to love and respect one another and most of all be true to yourself. The other answer…
To know yourself. Every other explantion is based upon the worldview or philosophy of others, the states, religion, popular opinion, peer pressure, morality etc. All these things are external and distracting from the lessons within ourselves. Other people and their notions can at times be a mirror but mostly they are a…
