Well, that thought came into most philosophers’ minds…

It could be sooner too..

Not so surprising rly…

Once you know how the more simple things work, you know how everything else works…
Acting based on that and your personal experience you’re inclined to deduce how things are very easily…and with very little information too…

Although most ppl aren’t able to do this, since one of the things you need to do is to detach your mind from you, and start thinking at the situation from other angles, other points of view…

And also, understanding who you are, and from where you come from helps, since you need to know how you think and how you act, before knowing how others will, since the way you do things will, obviously, interact with the way you see things…

sounds just right, it’s just that things still kinda blow. i need to do what my therapist is trying to make me do but i’m not, she wants me to “see reality as there is more to it” but i’m too pessimistic to dare and act accordingly. u know, 2511.

One thing, when you think of something, when you try to come out with something…where do you look?

Which corner? I’m sure it’s the left side, and maybe to the bottom…

never underestimate howmuch youcan learn from others,i learned more from a slobbering drunk than i have fromalot ofpeople once i put the thou8ght of “this guy is a slobbering drunk”out of my head and i replacedit with “how can i love this person and learn from this person the whole converstion and convo”s after that became insightful.you can never learn from anyone that you are judgeingie parents ,teachers,mates dont judge anyone and think to yourself love and doors open up

Mmmm…I’ve met a lot of different ppl, from different parts of the world, with different ideas…that made me learn from others, and that the basics of personality apply for everyone, everywhere…
After some years of processing the ideas, going through some rough times (in which I was pessimistic too, it isn’t so weird lol), and gaining a balance within myself, I was able to do it without even noticing it…

i believe most deeply in what u just said, zip…and idk, 2511, but is that the memory side or the creation side? cuz i get a feeling i’m not any creative in my life, even the experiences (memories) i’ve earned, they’ve scarred me more than i’ve learnt from them and so i don’t even have that mature decision making element, but only the paranoid coward element.

Well, left is pessimistic, right is optimistic, down is emotional, and up is imaginative…The best, as in everything, is the balance between them all, therefore, the center….

Well…after nights of thinking and thinking without stop (my hobby I guess, btw, I love doing it, my brain creates more connections by doing it =P), I ended up thinking that balance in the way you think and act it’s the best thing you can have…

Think of it:
who wants to know everything? After knowing everything there wouldn’t be any mysteries left to discover, then life would lose it’s “touch”.
who wants to be pessimistic or optimistic? both sides can’t fully get reality, since the way you see things is distorted by this ideas.
who wants to be too serious or emotional? Having no love isn’t nice, but just committing suicide over an emotion is stupid…

Ok…all that is useful, too see how things really are…although your reality will always depend on your context, and what you consider good & wrong…

In my case, I’ve programmed the way I think so that one thing depends on another, leaving aside only the things that I don’t find useful…

You should read the Discourse on Method…of Descartes…it’s quite good, and in one point it talks about this..

Can I ask you both something, how old do you think I am?

That was longer than I thought….lol

I like one thing he said…

He compared his way of thinking to architecture…I don’t remember the exacts words, so you'’l have to read it, but it gave me a great idea =P

We’re talking about the same thing….but the are rules, and we can’t deny them, although most of them have to do with natural things, instead of personalities things…
Knowledge is the key to everything, and something that I’ve thought is that, when it comes to ppl and the way they are and act, everything can be possible

like alice in wonderland, overgrowing that house?

bursting through the shingles.

um, sounds like schizophrenia. j/k.

(is that how you spell “schizophrenia”?)
