Definition of Philosophy

Wht we all suck at PEACE?

by

Somebody is always a victim and somebody is always the perpetrator and that is what the world has become after all the time we have evolved and developed. All the knowledge in the world cannot bring about total peace for the world is made up of individuals who is as unique as all the particles that makes up the universe. Then why bother at explaining the truth and the false if it all comes down to ineffective sciences and bodies of knowledge? Reason and existence is one of the main ideas that keeps us all alive and well in this world of disarray and indifference.
While most of us never bother with the nuances and details, life as we know it is based on bodies of thought that have been passed on from generation to generation and from people to people. Some people like dogs as pets while some see them as a means of passage into manhood. Some see guns as the only solution while the rest of us see it as merely the problem. everybody has his or her own view of what the world should be and is to be and that is what makes the total definition and explanation of peace so vague and impossible to fathom. Some like birth control while some hate it as it is against the teachings of the Church. In an economic standpoint, it is a solution for it allows the most amount of resources for less people who wold otherwise be impoverished and claiming benefits form their governments who are now straining to maintain control. Some like Obama while some like McCain, the differences go on and on and on and so does the need for explanation.
Humans have a knack for complaining yet we have survived for millions of years with or without these socioeconomic conditions that we so rely on. We survive whatever the calamity or global conditions and that is what I like about us, all the differences and yet we still manage to find some reason for existence however different it may be. That’s humanity at work and hopefully it’ll continue on workin’ for sometime to come (if we don’t kill ourselves that is).

Political Philosophies Clash for Voter Confidence

by

Observe the two candidates today, John McCain and Barrack Obama, and you will find contradicting philosophies. In fact, you may be surprised at the fact that they do not agree at all on a lot of aspects such as global warming and the oil supply issue. If you were a voter, one of these two things would be important to you. So if you were in the position of McCain or Obama, which would you target?

Well before anything else, it also depends on what you believe in. Both have used them as part of their agenda whenever they come out and speak in front of the territories to where they are campaigning. In debates and their advertising mediums, you will find that they emphasize on these points, hoping that they will click and become heroes in the eyes of voters, if and when they win the elections.

The philosophy of one is different from another. A lot of factors such as cultural, social and technology factors come into play as far as concluding a philosophical summary of what things people would care about.

In politics, the philosophy of the overall leader will be closely monitored. For one, it will be a measure of his competency and how well he can drive a nation. These are pretty big shoes to fill and if you think about it, one minor error could lead to disaster as far as voter confidence is concerned.

In philosophy, do what you believe in and not what others want you to do for them. Doing so may put you in a position where you may eventually regret trying to be who you are not.

Philosophies Change in Politics

by

When you get into politics for the first time, chances are you will be in for quite a shock. Politicians have a lot to do as far as adjustments in lifestyle is concerned and apparently it can go as far as changing personal philosophies. In the political world, you need to be alert and open to conflicts and interests. Much of the people around you may not always be whom they claim to be.

If you heard the phrase that politics is a dirty game then heed that warning. In politics there are no stops. People can easily pretend which makes it suitable for actors. There are a lot of bad beliefs on politics which make it ideally made for people who can handle the pressure. Just consider these things that politics has been known for:

1. Graft and Corruption
2. Power Abuse
3. Scams
4. Lack of Priorities

Indeed a political philosophy can be easily written. Just like a script in the movies, you need a good platform and likewise a strong personality. Being in politics for the first time will teach you how to be more public relations oriented. In politics you need this if you are to get the nod and trust of voters in your area.

Your personal philosophy is bound to change when you are in politics. Some people are made for it, while others have to adjust accordingly. So if you think you can handle both worlds of personal and professional philosophies, you are bound to get a lot of sleepless nights doing it.

Politics, Brings out the best and worst in all

by

The situation is the same all over the world, when elections are in the air, the best is shown but the worst also seeps through. These two bodies of thought seem to go together, to showcase one as a figure of strength and patriotism and the aim is the same, for the good of all men. The problem is that it always seems to go the opposite way and people can’t seem to get over the fact that everybody has something to hide and that there is no safe place to hide them (except the grave that is).
Look for some controversial people and their best kept secrets have remained secrets only because they took them and the answers to the grave. All prominent celebrities and politicians have their own little dirty secrets that can come out at anytime, seemingly out of nowhere (most probably from an opponent’s camp) out into the mainstream and the public’s attention. How well the situation and information is handled would be the true test of will of one’s true aim and goal for serving the public. In most countries of the world, politics has some form of monetary gain whether it be for self, family or some other far off relative that is to benefit from the occasional nod from upstairs.
Why do people always look for the bad in things and not tend to take into account the good? Maybe because the bad always makes for a good story? Maybe because the good isn’t attention catching enough to earn profit. With information traveling at the speed of light, any amount of information that gets on the internet is made available to all, sometimes without even a hint of seeking for authenticity or validity of the information in question. This may be the true manifestation of greed (which is in all of us for self-preservation is after all one of the hard-coded basic instincts evolution has left us with) in all human beings. Time may have simply run out for good with the bad and the ugly on the agenda for now. Till when? The end of the world????????
