  • Is perfection possible?


    I mean in sense of what we believe the closest to perfection is, which differentiates according to different people. Right or wrong doesn't matter as it's the context but the extent at which we can imagine what perfect is, or how one can come about achieving it.
  • Is perfection possible?


    I'm trying to say, idea of perfect is different to yours so there will never be an objective perfect which is necessary to have perfect.
  • Logic of Omnipotence and Suicide


    The problem with the idea of omnipotence is that there are many contradictory scenarios which must co-exist with each other, so that omnipotent being must have experienced everything including resurection after death. As everything is possible, there is no impossible so everything can be done, which means things can be undone.
  • Romanticism leads to pain and war?
    Could Romanticism be the problem?Athena

    I don't believe it is the idea but the people who play by it who are to blame. People may simply not be compatible with each other due to specific unexplainable differences due to our immense complexities but again, we learn and as Bottom explains, there are sometimes specific outrages which could lead to the failure of a relationship and it may very well be the wanting to maximise the romantic relationship you have with someone, pushing your limit. As he says, sometimes love cannot be explained with words and must be experienced in silence, for there is no explanation, and so there are a simple combination of emotions you feel which allows you to feel great care and comfort with the other person.

    Back to the point, I believe romanticism is not the issue, but rather the people experiencing it, and due to our imperfections, although we want absolute romanticism with the other person as we believe it is the only way we can truly express our love for them, we must instead sustain the relationship, for too much water in a boiling pot will overflow.

    there is no comparison to perfection, or rather, a target to which one must achieve to have lived a life of perfection, thus, although you may believe you are making the best choice in each scenario, you may have a lack of knowledge etc to take other factors into account which may have given the scenario a more preferable outcome, but again, every being is completely different when it comes to the many experiences they are built of and their logic and so everyone's perfect would also be different contradicting perfection.
