Philosophy ( yes this is a serious thread)

[darkslayer13]

i was reading a joke thread that clamed ( in its title ) to be a philosophical question. the joke was that the question was " what whould you do for a klondike bar" i found the joke funny:lol:. a few other people were actually dissapointed. so i decided to make an actual philosophy thread just for those people.

so feel free to discuss your belefs. be open minded and remember. chances are we are all wrong ( yes even me ( and you). so discuss things with the understanding that this is pure opinon and impossible to prove or disprove. and arguments are pointless. polite dissagreement and discussion is the way to go. who knows you could change your belefs because of something in this thread.

My beliefs... Everyone is equal. Others may have their talents, and their shortcomings, but those don't matter.

God may or may not exist. I'm still pondering that one. But angels do exist. To me at least. I mean, I have Aden as proof.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

I believe that good can be extinguished, but evil will always remain, in some form.

without good what is evil.


there is no set line between good and evil. if all things currently good ceased to exist.(probably not possible) then some evil things whould then be considered good. it is impossible to have just one. you have both ( and 2 million things in between) or you have vauge nutrality.

The two remain even if they are destroyed, cause without one the other cannot exist.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Actually, Good can be destroyed, but it is extremely strong, and almost impossible to destroy.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

If good can be destroyed, then so can evil. But then part of good would be corrupted, and become evil again.

It's a vicious cycle. It works vice versa as well.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Yes. It is a very vicious cycle.

but good is a concept. concepts do not have form therefore they can't be destroyed. ( only ignored)

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Yes. It is a very vicious cycle.

And it sucks. :/

But look on the bright side. No evil = boring world. No good = slave world.

 

[The crazy demon]

Both even if they are destroyed return, its a eternal balance of the universe.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Yes. That is true. But that cannot be said with light and dark. Darkness exists without any help, but many things make up light.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Light depends on things to sustain it, but darkness moves in without warning as soon as light leaves...

Are you saying darkness overpowers light? Even if there's a complete void of darkness, there will always be those who can find even the smallest glimmer of light. But it's not a light we can see. It's a light called hope. A world without hope is a true world without light.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Not that kind of light... Light does require other things to sustain it, but dark needs nothing, but Light is constantly needed and wanted, so people sustain it.

^ Darkness requires the absence of light. Light requires the absence of darkness.

Light does not equal good and darkness does not equal evil. Its often thought of that way, but its not true. crazy stuff happens during the day. Night is much more peaceful. (where I am anyway) You can't say that because darkness is (in a way) stronger than then evil is stronger than good. Unless we're treating light and dark as metaphors (for klondike bars )

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Don't even start with the Klondike Bar stuff.

But Meg has a point. Dark =/= Evil and Light=/= Good.

But I still don't think that's what you meant.

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

I was literally talking about Light and Dark as in color and the total absense of color.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Oh, now I get it.

Colors. I feel dumb now. :dry: *headdesk + facepalm + headwall*

 

[Nicodemus Zamoran]

Don't beat yourself up too much. If you do, you won't be able to post.

 

[Meg]

To late I already did.

What does anything mean? What is light and what is darkness? What is good and what is evil? What. Its a philosophy thread I can ask unanswerable questions if I want. :lol:
