The Philosopher's Stone

I'm not trying to be mean here, but anyone can quote famous authors. It takes a great deal more energy to write something from your own experiences.
 
Seems to me......

"I'm not trying to be mean here, but anyone can quote famous authors. It takes a great deal more energy to write something from your own experiences."

We all start out ignorant of all thought, much less higher thoughts. If an author or philosopher touches your mind or heart the natural responce is to apply those thoughts to your life and experiences. I think you are doing well for a rookie!!

"Non carborendom illigitemus"........or something like that!

looks to me like the philosopher is stoned.

Shame how someone had to log out to make a 'not to be mean' comment, when if anyone else had posted this thread it would have earned things like "Thanks for sharing." So much of this board is made up of sharing things that we found elsewhere that moved, inspired, aroused, infuriated, ammused us, I saay thanks brat, I had never seen these pearls before.
 
the philosopher's stone.... isn't that the thingamabob that will turn lead into gold?

oh, on a side note, we've figured out how to turn gold into lead. i think someone somewhere along the line was reading the objectives bass-ackwards!

:D
 
Well started brat. What do you think of this?

Martin Heidegger believed that philosophy begins and ends with the Question about Being:

"Each of us is grazed at least once, perhaps more than once, by the hidden power of this question, even if he is not aware of what is happening to him. The question looms in moments of great despair, when things tend to lose all their weight and all meaning becomes obscured ... It is present in moments of great rejoicing, when all the things around us are transfigured and seems to be there for the first time, as if it might be easier to think that they are not than to understand that they are and are as they are. The question is upon us in boredom, when we are equally removed from despair and joy, and everything about us seems so hopelessly commonplace that we no longer care whether anything is or is not (Introduction to Metaphysics, p.11)."

How many of you guys out there, Philosophy students, play with your willies while reading Philosophy?
Or do you prefer the stories here?
 
Post coitum omnes animales tristes sunt (or soemthing like that)

St. Thomas Aquinas, fat 13th C monk
 
I don't think Aquinas was right here. I reckon some people are pretty full of satisfaction and even anticipate more, with enthusistic pleasure, after a good bundling.

What do you think, all you philosophers on the web?

Are you sad after a good fuck?

Or do you purr?

Is it sad to be flacid for a while?

Do you get miserable because you can't keep it up forever?

Girls, do you want to just keep cumming?

Perfect wisdom has four parts:
Wisdom, the principle of doing things aright.
Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private.
Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it.
Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.
Plato (427?-347? B.C.E.)
