Philosophy "Under the Sun"

[forester]

Understanding the human nature, human knowledge, human instincts, human biology, and human mind is far more difficult than understanding the bible, the Qur'an, and any other "holy" literatures of the ancient pretenders.

Life makes more sense when you look back to the lessons learned. But you can't stay and live in the past, you only need to bring its lessons in order to move on.

nindot ni sir dah mr. brown. very innovative kaau. karon pa ko ani. c ayn rand kay atheist man gud tu nya c st. agustine kay mystic sa una before siya nahimong catholic. murag imong idea sir kay kung wa ko masayop, kinahanglan rational ta if we read the bible pero di nalang pugson pagugkat anang mga mysterio diha, sakto ba ko sir?

yes sir. that is essentially what i mean. rand may not be a bible reader but we can be objective like her when we approach the bible. but no matter how objective we are to approaching the bible we cannot know every mystery behind it so we just entrust to its divine author.

i dont know if atheist ko or agnostic. but i believe in morality. pwede ba na sir

why not. it is in philosophy where all the possibilities exist

na ko ishare that is somewhat thought provoking (atleast for me)

To promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.

It means simply that you learned from your past choices, whether they're good or not, you used it to live your life in the ever present of today. Don't get stuck on you're past wrong choices in life, our choices are part of our becoming who we are.

No shame in commiting mistakes, most people do it everyday, only that some people are better in learning from their past mistakes and get better in their life because of it. Unless you don't risk to commit mistakes again there's no way your life gonna move forward.

That's how the quote means to me.

As what my perception suggest you have both
a very attractive person....
sad to say I could see you only through your ava, and conceive you through your thoughts....

Lovely Charm
Pahinungod Gikan Ni Tirong-say

Lovely Charm sa dughan ko ikaw gihanduraw
Kaanyag ug kalantip kanimo mipatigbabaw
Sa dughan magpabiling kanunay'ng ikaw
Saksi ang mga S&O aron tanan mahibaw.

Gihandum ko Inday ang atong panagkita
Bisag anino mo lamang igo na gyud unta
Apan asa naman ka ron, nganong ikaw wala?
Hinaut mabasa unta ning balak kung ginama
