Re: Women as emotional being :myth ?

How is the ego unnatural, not-natural? I consider everything in existence as natural. Why demonize the ego as something 'evil'? If it is so evil and unnatural why is it so ubiquitous, is then the whole manifest material universe inherently evil and unnatural? that seems a harsh perspective to take o...

Re: Emotional triggers

Out of all the philosophers, I find Nietzsche the most fascinating and insightful and entertaining. But that is just my impression. There are so many books and so little time, one can't read them all, one has to be selective.

Re: Emotional triggers

Transcending the ego, that's no easy task. Is this what Nietzsche talked about with his "down-going", killing the ego (the self) then overcoming it to create something stronger. But then again on my understanding of Nietzsche he seemed to be against focusing on backworlds and otherworlds, ...

Re: Emotional triggers

I would define an Emotion as a bodily reaction to an object or situation. If you're a cheating, wife beating, pyromaniac, white supremacist, I would say you've let your emotions get the best of you. Emotions to me are 'good' or bad' depending on the results they obtain. One mother may nurture her ba...

Re: Emotional triggers

But hunger and anger are just feelings in the body. How is one permitted, one forbidden, one judged delusional, the other judged right and proper? What about Joy? can one distinguish between negative and positive emotions. Because I can acknowledge that negative emotions when they arise should be ov...

Re: Emotional triggers

If a person is hungry, and they experience anger, that is their body sending them signals to do something. No one is ever removed from life and in a vacuum. As living creatures we have first to survive. Eating being essential, the body will use everything it can to spur one on to rectifying the defi...

Re: Faith

The rational status for the God question, for human being, is that it remains unanswered. the positions of believer, atheist, agnostic are merely opinions. suspend belief either way is an appropriate response.

Re: Emotional triggers

But what if that person was being held hostage and was being starved deliberately, would not they have justification for feeling anger. Emotions seem to me an integral part of the human organism. A survival mechanism. Something that has survived down the ages. I suspect it must have some value. So d...

Re: "I am" my reason

My ego believes what you say is fundamentally sound.But going beyond ego, I'm not sure my ego knows how to do that, or even wants to.

Thoughts that you've displayed are akin to sentiments I've experience in my more trippier moments though.

Re: Women as emotional being :myth ?

What you say is articulate and thought provoking. But one thing I don't quite grasp is what distinguishes nihilism from 'emptiness' they seem almost to signify the same thing.

Emotional triggers

From the little I've read of this forum, I've gathered that emotions are looked down upon as weakness and folly and contemptible and even 'feminine'. Are emotions not to be trusted? does one of superior intellect always rely on cold logic, do they ever succumb to emotions? I know the averrage mind c...
