• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is your philosophy of life?

I believe a person should follow their true callings. One should also be able to accept others as unique, and special, with their own ideas, ideals, and views. More than anything, one should Love.


I'll take this one!

It is similar to mine but a lot more succinct and better.

I take it then that you see nothing noble or meaningful in pursuing one's dreams, and self-actualizing by using one's talents in constructive and creative activities, such as art, science, philosophy, industry, education, etc? You object to people earning their self-respect and gaining the serenity that comes with that? You don't want people to have the confidence needed to go out into the world and to achieve happiness in life? You object to the fulfillment of human life on Earth?

Is that what you are against? Because these and other benevolent and life-affirming values are what I get from Ayn Rand.

My life philosophy is more of a pursuit to define success/happiness/a well-lived life for myself and identifying the unrealistic ideals which I've unconsciously adopted from other sources. It's a lot harder than it sounds.

I fully believe you, and I think that is a great life philosophy.

I think if I had just one minute I would probably sing a song or something


go for it, the shower is a good place to practice or anywhere acoustically live because you can hear when you are on key or off key and adjust the sound accordingly, you may get rather good after a while.

Yes, that occurred to me earlier today; that although I have lofty aims,

my actual sense of achievement comes just from noticing progress; that there is something I can do now that I couldn't do last year.

Doesn't sound like much of a philosophy of life, but that seems to be the way I live.



(The other part of my philosophy of life is that it is OK to have a sentence span two paragraphs)
