Dictionary of Philosophy

[RascalPuff]

Once upon a time it came to pass that Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire wrote what has had several names and is now called: "Philosophical Dictionary", the illumination of which still reaches those fortunate enough to access and read, at their intermittent leisure. Of course its placement here - under ToE's "Philosophy" - is a prescient statement of the obvious.
(Happy trails.)

An interesting post, Rascal. Plenty of topics to read and ponder.

May all be granted the luxury of some unstructured time, and the energy and interest to consider why our kind thinks and acts in the manner that it does, toward each other and to all that sustains us.

The actual realization of LIFE.

Regardless of how existence has come TO BE (or not to be, silly question....or possibly not?) and whether one chooses to credit an entity or a process, the experience of being a discreet sentient entity in an endless realm of possibilities is something our species seems woefully ignorant of, barring a few noted exceptions.

The day-to-day details do too easily overshadow the moment by moment; that with each breath we draw, we are further from the beginning and closer to the end of the miracle of our own experiencing.
