What is your philosophy of life and are you able to live according to that philosophy?

[Medlife]

I study a lot ( Medical Neuroscience) . I do not have much time to interact and I rather spend my time painting, reading interesting book or spending time with my daughter. I seem to lean towards the Adlerian philosophy. Science is awesome but philosophy has its charms.

[monkeynutts]

Because I play chess everyday, my life revolves around controlled mayhem. A scientist in a Ted talk was discussing the principles of learning any discipline, best described with the equation,

K p t

Knowledge
practice
and a little talent.

Chess to me me is a microcosm of the universe, all pieces orderly lines up in perfect symmetry, and I think it’s the third law of thermodynamics, that discusses the principle of entropy, always increasing, cells dividing, molecules colliding, somewhere in the madness there is beauty.
I’m playing life to win. That’s what I believe in a nutshell, it’s about duality, taking the good with the bad, learning from my mistakes.
And never giving up.

[Medlife]

And just like that I like you even more. Here 🍌 🍌 🍌 😁

[monkeynutts]

😄. Yeah I like you too, you are a gem. Paying attention to the dirty socks, and what I call land mines, ie dog turds 💩 we have to get the pooper scooper out, go buy more washing powder. Life is about responsibility. make the world a better place.

Shopping trip for cleaning supplies dearest🥰

Your question implies that science is mutually exclusive with philosophy, although that's not how I see it. Science is the matter of knowledge, philosophy is the matter of mind. Philosophy is the opposite of religion, though.

I live according to Stoic principles. It helped me to find my purpose and stick with it, deal with any negativity productively and be more productive, mindful and tolerant in general. Sometimes, I doubt my choice, but I couldn't have come with reasonable arguments to persuade me. This seems to suit me well, the results are practical and satisfying.

[Medlife]

Science and philosophy go hand in hand. Medical neuroscience is a little different. I am leaning towards Adlerian psychology and philosophy of life. Philosophy is " the love of knowledge". Science is basically the same. If my question sparked a doubt in you I do apologize. I study equations, chem and physics at the moment and philosophy and art is my go to to relax.

[Agape93]

I have a few that I draw upon, and yes I abide the tenets of which I draw. Cosmicism, stoicism, nihilism, existentialism etc

You've got one life, live it how you want to live it (but not at the expense of others)

[Blindguyplaying]

Two things you're philosophy of life should be obtainable, or else you have the nihilistic philosophy, which in that case God help ya buddy.
I have two philosophies; the first is ,"The hardest part in life that makes the rest of it so easy, is letting go." It essentially means that in regards to anything, whether it would be a struggle, an emotion of love or anger, caring or apathy, compassion or grudge, especially towards a person or a situation that seems hopeless, you must never forget that there's always the choice of simply walking away. And for emotion, you must always remember, to let go.

The second is ,"A well-rounded man should be a warrior, an artisan, and a philosopher."-Benvenuto Cellini
Those are my two biggest but I have plenty of other thirdly philosophy that applies towards everyday life.

[Medlife]

This is very well put sir I apologize for late reply. Great POV letting go is the hardest.

[420Rachel]

This is my personal philosophy for life. Treat people with kindness and work hard for the things you want to achieve in your life. Life will always have its hurdles but we humans are built to endure. To err is to be human, it's fine to make mistakes as long as you learn from those mistakes. Basically don't be an asshole and do your best to be a positive influence in this world.

Paul Auster: “Good begets good; evil begets evil; and even if the good you give is met by evil, you have no choice but to go on giving better than you get."

[MCheetah]

I attribute this to other people, but it's Hanlon's Razor. Sometimes people are evil, but most are just stupid and/or lazy.

My personal mantra for life is, "Respect everyone until they give you a reason not to; then all bets are off."

[Anonymous]

My philosophy? Money is absolutely everything in this world.
And yes, I live by this philosophy. Money is the answer for everything.

[Medlife]

Unfortunately you are very right

[michael1469]

The last 2 were my eye openers in my life. So I made it, but i keep hustling cause i dont know what to do with myself otherwise then to build mo wealth. Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

[michael1469]

Where the hell are my pictures i posted?

[Medlife]

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[andreasderjuengere]

The world leaders and the money bags constantly plot against me.
My ''philosophy'' is one of evasion and not giving fucks.
I found to have much in common with Diogenes - that could make me a Neo-cynic?

[es20490446e]

Do it simple.

Which means that what is the simplest is context sensitive.

[Medlife]

Nothing in life is complex everything is simple. We the people make it complicated

[es20490446e]

I think nothing is either complex or simple, it just is.

Simple or complex is what you do about it.

Adler🥰

[es20490446e]

Just learned what that word means 😂

Cheers!

[Medlife]

Lol its a name of my favorite philosopher Alfred Adler. I like his views, the way he approached life, explained it in such a way where I can relate. I am not scared of future and I am not tormented by past. I simply am. I am a work in progress, but why not. I either win/get better or I learn. There is nothing to lose.

[es20490446e]

Adler is right.

[Medlife]

As a word Adler means eagle. Yes you may be an eagle. Free, unafraid yet still bound by gravity and hunger

[es20490446e]

I have macaroni.

[Medlife]

I've not had those since I was a kid😁

[es20490446e]

You are missing a lot :P

[Medlife]

Oh I know. USA gave me a gift of gluten intolerance, however I am absolutely fine when I travel back home in Europe 🇪🇺

[es20490446e]

Why? Does traveling to Europe remove your gluten intolerance?

[Medlife]

Lol no but most Europeans don't inject their food with chemicals. Eg. There are about 4 to 6 ingredients in ketchup in Europe. In the great US of A its about 15 if not more. And the list goes on. I am officially alergic to penicillin, deet, gluten, dairy, sugar and legumes in states. Magically when I come back to my own country (Slovakia) I can eat anything I want without the trips to the ER or carrying an EPIPEN. And on a plus side I never put on weight I actually lose weight. In USA the foods are so badly fabricated that hormonal imbalances are displayed in young as well as older people and the obesity is simply rampant and it definitely is NOT due to overeating in 50% of the cases.

[es20490446e]

When I visited New York I observed that there were two very differentiated kinds of food: poor quality fast food, and healthy natural food.

There seemed not to be anything in between, matter of extremes.

[Medlife]

You know I have a farm. I grow my own food. I have good source of protein too. But still. The "pollen" allergies are horrible and lately I am finding dead bees on the ground. I seriously think they are doing something bad in the air.😭. I adore my property. 75 acres of woods we have horses too I love to ride. I've learned how to process meat and how to do many homesteading things. Yet I still use internet to study or to sell my art, to keep in touch with friends etc.

[es20490446e]

Oh, that's surprising.

Sure they are doing something with the bees. Modern pesticides are designed to last for months.

[Medlife]

What is?

[es20490446e]

Surprising? That you have a farm 🐷

I have never guesses that :)

[Medlife]

Ha I love living off grid. Solitude is beautiful. Watching the animals interact is amazing. Woods have life in them and I am part of it. Lots of medicinal herbs grow all over. I have two creeks one with a small waterfall. And storms here sound like symphony 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[es20490446e]

Whoa! Beautiful 😍

As long as I have water, fruit and the weather isn't too cold, that's all I need.

I always said that if everything else fails I'm leaving to live in the wild, naked.

[Medlife]

Lmao id rethink that ticks and biting insects are a thing off grid. Plus summers here have chiggers and venomous snakes. However working the farm u get used to wearing muck boots and shorts. And because my closest neighbors are about 20 minutes walk away from me I sunbathe in the nude quite often. If like to build a yurt structure for a sauna. Where i live winters are not very cold we get snow like once in 3 years. It is extremely peaceful here. Hardly ever hear the city down below. I live on the top of the mountain ⛰ and a small city is below me

[es20490446e]

Send me a photo sometime 🙂

[Medlife]

Sure drop me ur email or what ever message system you use in dm and I'll send u my surroundings. If you like to be one with nature you will love it 🥰

[es20490446e]

Oh I do!

[EssenceOfLight]

Yes. "Don't be evil but don't buy shit other try to sell on daily base"
