Furlosophy: A Thinking Thread

[ZalTheRaccoon]

We are the only animals that pay to live on this planet... Pretty pathetic.

Just think about how sad of a species the human race is, we give value to pieces of paper and then fight over it.

I just don't understand... is life just nothing but work? I look around at my own family and I see that they rarely get free days, and even when they do they just spend it working on something else. Once I told myself "that's not going to be me." But today I realized that I don't really have a choice. Life is work, hard work. There's always something that needs to be done. I'm graduating, and I once thought that would mean I'm done. Done with school, done with work, but it's not that simple folks. Today I learned that the work never ends, today I became an adult. I'm finished with rushing through my chores to have "free time". Instead i'm just going to do what I have to do whenever I have to do it. Because responsibility is more important than free time. But maybe... maybe the fun doesn't have to end. Maybe there's a way to make it work so there's balance.

Here is something to think about. Some definitions of "life" include reproduction in them. So, by some definitions, people who are sterile are not alive. What are your thoughts on this?

That is what we call a fallacy.

The definition of life is an abstract meaning for the existence of biological creatures. The definition of alive is a medical term for "having life."

The concept of life is human made just like time. There is only, on a physical level, existance. If you exist with the presence of natural energy within your brain, you are concious and therefore "alive." Otherwise, you do not exist or are inanimate. This could be argued with the emergence of artificial intelligence, but there is no natural energy present, leaving robots medically defined as inamimate beings despite the presence of concious information processing.

People who are infertile aren't what we call dead. Just unable to reproduce. All men and women in their senior years eventually become infertile, it doesn't mean they're medically dead because someone's definition of life as a more broader term has a prerequistion of fertility.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Life is much more than being fertile and infertile anyway. Life is all about... living.

What if the entire universe is a lie and this is all just a dream within our own consciousness

[Cecilia Peromi]

If that's true then this is a pretty nice dream. I've made so many friends. I wouldn't wake up for anything.

What if Kevin Hart was at every Trump Rally, reminding Trump and his supporters to "sit the f-ck down"

[Cecilia Peromi]

Maybe that would work. He should try it sometime.

What if the world ran out of Coco Butter? Oh, god, I can see it, The Ashening

[Cecilia Peromi]

I've never had Coco butter, but I want to try it so save little bit for me world!

I was talking to my step mom the other day about the reality of our situation. It really sucks. I get VERY emotional about it.


Even though by the time we actually do have to move out of the house I will be living solely on my own, I just can’t imagine it.
I cannot picture someone else living in MY home. MY farm.


I see my Dad everywhere in that house. It's a hard concept to grasp that you no longer have an income for a family.
A family of 5 kids, 3 of which still need to go to college.


I wouldn’t be living at home…but its still my home. Its still my horses’ home.
It’s were my Meli, Peanut, Santa Fe, and Yamaha are buried.


Then there is the issue of my personal finances. How am I going to make enough money to stabilize two horses? Destiny is already for sale. I can’t get rid of Kiss or Buck. Its just unreal for me to think about. I know people will help me along the way, but I can’t always expect them to.


Sometimes I think maybe I could only afford one horse. I’d have to keep Buck over Kiss. I love my Kissy pants…but Buck is my Dad’s horse.
 I just can’t let go of that.

They say that "things get worse before they get better." And Destiny, it looks like you have been through some horrible stuff. So I believe it's about time for things to get better for you. Just remember that I'm here for you. We all are.

[DestinyUnleashed]

Things are getting better, but it just feels like every step forward sends me one or two steps back.
