  • The process of getting a job
    A stupid question, a stupid answer. I get it. :D
  • The process of getting a job
    Sorry, that's not what I meant. Here's an example: A guy, who's grades from chemistry are nearly perfect and who's enjoying studying this subject - can't afford higher education (such as college or even high school because his family lacks of money). That will leave him with a very small amount of jobs which he could be doing in the end. Instead of working in a lab (with the chance of discovering something) he'll be given a mop or a position for a cashier. My question is - is that something we should be taking care of? Or is it a problem so extended it's simply not worth dealing with?
  • Is negation the same as affirmation?
    Yes, affirmation is indeed not the same as negation, which means that affirmation is the same as negation.Tristan L

    Please, explain this to me as primitevely as possible. Because it seems like I got lost.
  • The Problem of Good
    Is the Devil unable, but willing to prevent good? Then he is incompetant.IvoryBlackBishop

    What do you mean by that? If he's unable, but willing to prevent good, then he isn't only incompetant, but also "evil" and that's what makes him who he is. And by evil I don't mean bad. I personally believe that evil and good are equal and are here to provide us free will.
  • Understanding art
    Art is mostly ideological, so you can't really tell. It is "an act of expressing feelings, thoughts, and observations." There is a beauty in it not everyone will always see. You have an idea you can't express with words, so you express it through art.
  • Do humans deserve happiness?
    An amazing thought, truly. And to answer your question - I think exactly the same. Not only that people don't deserve happiness, they don't deserve anything. Here's why:

    Happiness isn't something a human can deserve. It exists in order to establish balance.

    People might start feeling happy because of various reasons - relationships, jobs, achievements/success,... But as mentioned, when they see others being happy, too, it seems that it awakens anger and jealousy in them, making them feel sad again.

    E.g. - A man has been unhappy for years. He didn't have any close relationships and owned a very small amount of money. Suddenly, he was offered a job in an office. That made him happy, but most importantly - he was now happy with himself. He thought he achieved something, it made him believe his value was high (or higher than he thought). However, when he entered the office, he saw how many other people got the job as well. Abruptly, this high value he once thought he had, disapeared. He realized that what he "achieved" meant nothing since so many other people have done the same.

    It is a never ending circle. Happiness and sadness balance each other as everything in our world does.
  • Why Does God Even Need to Exist?
    I always did and most likely always will prefer science over religion, because I simply don't believe something I haven't seen and cannot prove.

    Personally, I think the reason why such thing as religion was created was to mainly earn money and to "establish order". If people believed in God (or more gods, of course) they had something in common. And so, the ones who claimed they were "serving the God" used this naive belief of people. It made them somewhat powerful.

    What also doesn't make me believe in religion is its logic. If science cannot prove or explain something, it is only a matter of time until it'll be able to. Because science is evolving all the time, but religion is not. It remains the same.

    No matter how (let's just say ridicilous) religion - especially Christianity - seems to me, I always respect anybody who prefers this style of life. It is everybody's opinion and we should all respect each other's point of view.

    Religion and belief itself are very important things, your behavior and mental health depends on it.

    Note this! Belief and knowledge are two different things.
