Philosophy of life

[Marie_knowsbestt]

There certain things that in life we need to understand in order to ever reep everything there is to reep from life.

the first would have to be that your body is a temple, abuse your body and your abusing the very foundations of your life.

song called secret by madonna - until i learn to love myself, i must'nt love any body else. thats not meaing i should come first always, it means inless you love yourself, ur not gonna have to right kind of love for anybody else. its only when your love yourself, u geniunly want to love others.

If you allow people to reject you, and you blame yourself for that, you are saying that you also reject you. people with healthy self esteem value themselves enough to know they deserve more, and they wont stick around people who put them down.

i have loads more but im too tired lol ill be back with more ha!

I agree with you on some of this except for a madonna song I am more of a mr scruff fan
Yes, you should look after your body and yourself, however we all have different ways of doing it, one way maybe different from anothers.

Unfortunatly we will always have our vices but that is a normal humankind trait.

However a lot of people with healthy people do hang around people with unhealthy esteem to see if they can help them, be more like they are. Also you can look it on the side of beign they hang around with unhealthy esteem people it can make the healthy people seem good - which is always a bad thing to do

I am happy with who I am and what is wrong with me mentally and other stuff, I don't mind being strange its better then normal plus it explains why im slightly daft.

be spontatious and as random as possible do mundain things slightly different each day like brushing your teeth shile standing on one leg. as its the mundain things that take up our life.

I don't have a philosophy on life, and I try not to care about it. Life doesn't have a true purpose or reason. It's just there. I'm just gonna let what happens happen, and be craaazzzzyyy.

I know putting ourselves down is not good and I try not to, maybe I have learned at least to shut up, but when someone asks me I do the same mistake over again, I just can´t lie and say something that I know isn´t true.
This is causing me problems in life but I just can´t stop it and be different.

About that Madonna song, it´s nice to listen to but seems to me it´s just like sweet empty cliches... "First love yourself then you can love someone else.." What does this mean and what exactly means to love ourselves? I am just being myself, and either have good mood or bad mood, but to "love or hate myself"? I can love (or hate) someone else, but not myself. Don´t know if others, but I can´t. Sometimes I might be pissed with what I did and don´t want to see anybody so I seek to be alone, but it doesn´t mean I really hate myself. Or I have good mood and am happy, but again this doesn´t mean I love myself. But I know I have a lot of capacity to love (everything else except myself), only maybe not in the sentimental way.

Psychedelicious you´re the best philosopher ever, btw :lol:

But seriously, I think life has meaning, same as life wasn´t created by coincidence (it´s all too much cleverly and intelligently designed to be a coincidence. I don´t understand how someone can believe all this was created by big bang, if you shake a box with autoparts for eons of years, do you think one day a car will come out of it?)

There are oriental teachings which say if you learn to know yourself, you will learn to know God because God is inside you and part of you. There are various methods to do it, like meditation, study, yogic disciplines etc. I believe this may be true because every person is a universe by itself. And it´s also the only solution to terminate our suffering. That´s the way forward. Suicide is the way backward and just by killing our body we don´t solve anything. Our soul won´t die, we will only be born again and go through everything from the start again.

My philosophy of life:

What is God? By God, we usually mean everything. So God is everything. And everything is connected with everything else. There is no specific path to God, for God is the path itself. We are all saved and we are at home. I am one with the Universe, just as everyone else. Being separated is an illusion and that's why the way people usually perceive the world makes it illusionary. I have my body, but I am not the body and I am not limited to this physical body. I am pure consciousness beyond time and space.
For me, meditation is a source of enlightenment, ideas and stress relief.
Sometimes this helps me in anxious situations - I just try to remember that what is happening is not real and I am just an observer.

i liked that one kamen, and i agree with it also. we are not purely what are minds tell us, and we are not a shell which is our bodies, although your mind and bodies are like our homes, if your house is clean, tidy, comfortable and has what you need its a great place for stress relief, reflection and general relaxing, if its all over place, too big ot too small, dirty and dark, then we are not getting anything out of our home. this also applies to our minds and bodies.

its hard ya know. im not a alcaholic or anything lol but you could call me a binge drinker yeh. i really really want to never get drunk ever again! because i am a firm beliver that the mind is ment to stay in its natural state at all times, if your always in a different world coz ur drunk or woteva, your not going to understand the real sober one, and your not going to get the most out of it. i go through patches where i dont have a drink for say 3 weeks, and i tell ya what i always feel so healthy by the end of it, then i get drunk one weekend...then the next...then the next, and each time i enjoy it less and less and it effects my sober life too, like i feel more on edge and introverted. i am sensative to any chemical in my body ya see, more than most people, so i do need to give up completely or just occasional drinker. anyways im blabbering now. but it is easier said than done trying to do thr right thing.
