GuestDear lil.lily:
Thank you for sharing your philosophy: it was a good read for me.
A philosophy of mine to post here right now: it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are curious, as long as you want to learn from your experience and as long as you are learning. When I get distressed I move my focus from the distressing feelings to curiosity: what is there for me to learn right now? What is there for me to see that I didn’t see before?

ParticipantHi Lil.Lilly,
My philosophy has always been changing, but it has become quite stable in the last year or so. I’m going to list them, but i won’t be as comprehensive as you have been. Which i must say, it is very impressive how you can consciously explain your philosophies. To live a decent life:
1) Question everything, whether it be logical or illogical. I’m very curious and question a lot of understandings and knowledge. It’s not that i want concrete answers, all i want to do is understand.
2) Understand that perspective is everything. Many concepts, terms, beliefs are in fact constructed by us. Irrespective of what the original intent, it’s us that give life and meaning to such things. As such our perspective forges our understanding.
3) Believe that people’s intentions/ choices are neither good nor bad. How we go about those choices is another matter.
4) Understand that everyone has a story. Everyone you meet has a past, a story, insight and worries.
5) Understand that we may have differences, but we all breathe the same air. We all require food to live, we all seek some form of happiness and we all wish to mean something to someone. Our differences are only as big as we allow them to be.
6) Seek to understand and love oneself. You are your biggest fan.
7) Understand that nothing is ever stable but that unstable/ in flux is the norm. Nothing stays the same forever. Embrace and accept that change doesn’t mean difference but that change can mean improvement..
8) Go with your heart. My heart may make illogical choices from time to time, but i can never fault myself for not finding a solution.Matty

Participantyeah this is a good question – i think sometimes the greatest philosophies arise when you live through something so your philosophy is one based on experience and that experience in terms becomes transcendental. i think sometimes the philosophy to have is to consciously and deliberately evolve with the times, i think the times keep on changing and you are only helping your own self if you adapt instead of resist the times or whatever it is or at least make it your own, so don’t embrace just any change but integrate it in your lifestyle the best way you can – this way your lifestyle becomes more at one with the times and at the same time you are staying true to yourself.
hope this didn’t come across too preachy.
