Some philosophy

Me - Drop me some philosophy. Feeling kind of empty here. I dont even know if theres a need to think or, just stay uninvolved and let the story play out for itself and, respond on cue.
Arun - Well, My philosophy would be, to do that which makes you feel a better human being in your own eyes.
Me - Kinda saw that coming... Great conversationalist you make!
Time does take care of it all. As they say.... All eeej well.
Haven't gotten around todefining a template of Being. Just doing what I can to live, without conscience calls and regrets.Does that make me a better human being in my eyes....Not really focussed on that adjective.
Arun - Another and actually the only way out of all life's problems is to REALISE that we are not separate individuals, there is only "I". There is no you, me, or we. I still havent been able to realise it, though, I have an intellectual understanding of the same, and, it definitely helps in constantly trying to see yourself in others or vice versa. You realise that there is no individual doer of any deed; takes away lot of hatred and regrets.
If you are not hurting anybody, then, whatever you do is OK.
Me -That's a huge transitional mental block bro! A huge leap to the presumption of Oneness and, an ordained script. Life, as each of us know and make it to be, is the raison d'etre of species homo sapien. At the core of it is the individual, his/her gene pool and the persona nurtured through the situations in life. Each perceives hurt differently. each responds and feels in their own way. Not suffering the baggage of rebirth but, coping as best as circumstances allow. And 50,000 years down the line someone will discern Homo something just as we learn about Homo erectus now. Ya bro. I bat for natural selection. Still grounded knowing you can only do what you can do. Its each for themselves. We carry our own crosses. Each one decides when to set down the cross, choose to recognise what their crosses are. And that end is all the succor one can provide. Rationality or Spirituality or Religion are the frameworks to that understanding. ut the eventual choice is individual.....Depending on how you perceive that entity!!
Arun - I knew you won't agree. Pardon my saying that it is this individualistic philosophy which has brought the whole world in the state that it is in - dog eat dog and one-pmanship.. It only breeds hatred, jealousy and makes a man feel isolated.
Me - Whats wrong with being individualistic and isolated. So long as its on your own terms.Dog eat dog may be the prevalent societal theme but its definitely not a generic one.. If you cant beat em, you dont need to join em. One can just withdraw.Man can be an island, self sufficiently. Remember you quoted that its not what you add but when you have nothing left to give away. How better to do that than to take responsibility for yourself, the individual. Thats all you have control over. As to the philosophy of life, need based response, including the need for answers, when felt, may or may not make inroads into my current world view. As of now, most stuff has an explanation. Dont feel the need for value addition.
Arun - I dont know whether I anm competent enough to say so, but I think you should do a revisit on your philosophy of life - though its the most accepted one.
