So, I've been thinking a lot lately about a statement I heard a while back: We judge others based on their actions; we judge ourselves based on our intentions. What do you all think? Does this strike you as true? Do you think...

lifedoesntimitate This is interesting, but kinda bleak. I think people absolutely are capable of rising above silly things like prejudices and predispositions. We have to learn to judge, I think. Also, speaking as a husband, I guarantee that you can believe him whenever he...

lifedoesntimitate I think it's really good to acknowledge your faults and shortcomings and, hopefully, over time, learn from them. What would you say is the difference between what a person is and who a person is? That was really interesting wording to me.

lifedoesntimitate But how do you not? I mean, you can certainly choose not to act on those presuppositions, but how to you prevent yourself from feeling them?

lifedoesntimitate That's actually a really good point. Yes. When we find ourselves about to judge others, I think we should think about the fact that others are probably judging us. How does that make us feel? Probably not great. Given that, we probably shouldn't put that on...

lifedoesntimitate Hmmm... I agree that it's certainly more of our natural inclination to do things this way, but I don't know that I'd agree that we can't help it. I think that if we make a choice that it's not a great thing to operate this way, we can absolutely make a...

lifedoesntimitate Fantastic! I'm glad this post was able to present you with a different -- and more positive -- way of looking at things. Your post brightened my day, sir. Thank you. Yeah, I think if we all just took a step back and thought about why we're angry or upset,...

I learned this word today. Thanks to Jasper Fforde. According to the dictionary, it's a mediocre work of literature produced mainly for profit. I try not to read potboilers, but every so often I'm guilty of it. Recently, I have...

lifedoesntimitate First off, I LOVE Jasper Fforde! It makes me so happy that you mentioned him. :) Secondly, yeah. I totally read potboilers. I'd never heard the term before, but I'll totally read a book that has very little social value. Sometimes they're really fun. I...

hi all! I am so wanting to write articles but I am so unfortunate that every time I write something, my mind becomes empty. I admit that I love to read and there are a lot of ideas in my brain. I am also good in English but one...

lifedoesntimitate Hopefully it'll make you feel better to know this little secret: Most writers don't actually like writing. It's true. We spend so much of our creativity in thinking up ways not to write. We love the before and after. We love coming up with ideas, and we love...

lifedoesntimitate You did sort of get to a rambly place, but you made some valid points along the way. :) Hmmm... Well, I certainly never meant to imply that I don't judge. I agree with you that we all judge, and without doing so, we would either have to trust or not trust...

Can something be proven good? Can something be proven evil? Are good and evil just opinions?

6 responses

lifedoesntimitate I think both good and evil are neither facts nor opinions. They are ideas. Ideas can't be proven; they can only be realized or not realized. Given that, my thinking is that good can not exist without evil, and vice versa. I think that we recognize our...

Me and this girl have been hanging out a lot for the past 2 months. She knew I liked her cuz she asked me and she told me she liked me too. She would text me like everyday and some of this would be just about what I was up to,...

lifedoesntimitate My advice would be that if you agree to be friends with her, plan to be just that: friends. I wouldn't recommend saying that you'll be friends with her, but secretly anticipating the day that you'll be more than friends. That's essentially lying to her, and...

lifedoesntimitate Where do you live? If you live in California, there's a place called Central Casting which, if you sign up with them, will book you for extra work. Even if you're not in California, there's probably a way for you to get into background work. You just have to...

Okay, for movies, I guess most of us will just stay put throughout the whole movie. But recent years, there are a number of films that are more than 1 part. For example, the famous Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter etc. And...

lifedoesntimitate That would be neat. One day, you could just have a series finale night. Just watch, like, five series finales back to back. :) The one thing I'd mention is that sometimes a finale doesn't actually give a happy ending. In the case of "Angel," for instance,...

lifedoesntimitate I know it was already discussed, but I just want to echo the sentiment that you should acknowledge the fact that they may decline your offer. In fact, it's certainly possible that they may be put off by it. I would recommend to you, as I often do to people, to...

Okay, so in the spirit of full disclosure, let me say that I don't have children of my own at present. However, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Basically, why do you think it is that we tend to teach our children rules...

lifedoesntimitate Wow. That was one of the saddest, most honest description of parenthood I think I've ever read. Thank you for that. For what it's worth, I'd say the bedtime thing is a little bit different, but that may just have been the way it was in my home growing up....

lifedoesntimitate I definitely watch all of it. Like, you, if I just don't dig it, I'll stop watching, but if I'm into it, I need to watch every episode. You talk mostly about drama here, but sitcoms and comedies, more and more these days, are becoming a bit more serialized...
