What is truth?

99 point nine percent of my posts.

 

[gottalovemoses]

What is humour?

Humour is something I have and what others wish they had.

 

[gottalovemoses]

What is your potential?

I don't know. I haven't reached it yet.

 

[gottalovemoses]

What is a thought?

Let me think about that one.

 

[gottalovemoses]

What is an idea?

Sorry, I have no diarrhea.

 

[metis]

Or how about "What is what?".

 

[Shiranui117]

Or how about "What is what?".

An interrogative word stemming from proto-Indo-European origins which serves to inquire about the nature or identity of an object or an idea.

 

[Kemosloby]

Answer to everything, Its a gray area.

I'm reminded of three answers. The first is the simple answer "42". And the second answer is the Zen answer: "mu". The third is the answer that someone in legend gave to someone who did not really understand from personal experience what a headache was - a whack to the noggin.

I'm such a sucker for questions like this.

What is an experience?

Accrued instances we gather throughout our lives.

What is truth?

Knowledge gained that is relative to our understanding. Most often subjective in nature.

What is an idea?

An mental construct in our minds.

What is unconditional love?

Love without strings attached.

How does it feel 2 experience a sense of awe and wonder?

Awesome and wonderful.

What is your potential?

Unlimited

What is humour?

An intelligent criticism that isn't normally seen as being critical but delivered in such a way as to make others laugh. Humor is surprisingly complex.

What is compassion?

The art of living a bountiful life.

What is a thought?

A fragment of an idea. See above.

Why is it hypothetical.

An experience? Freebasing enough speed to walk across a train track in the middle of the night.

What is the truth? Running from an oncoming train to avoid death.

What is an idea? Contemplating where the hole in my knee came from after jumping off the short end of a train track.

What is unconditional love? I don't want to die because I love myself too much to walk across a bridge in the middle of night out of my mind. Learned but unconditional.

How does it feel to experience awe and wonder? All of the above responses.

What is your potential? To no longer walk across a train bridge at night while high.

What is humour? See above.

What is compassion? That everyone laughs at me but they are still there. Because most of them walked across a bridge late at night as well.

What is a thought? Avoid your past mistakes.

Not sure I really expected many "answers" - I just enjoy the questions

Thanks for the rest of the feed-back people ... may reply individually if/when I have the time & the inclination ...

Here's one more question:

Why do some thoughts lead to negative experiences?

Cheers

 

[Geoff-Allen]

I must apologise for any misunderstandings!

What I meant to suggest is that people might enjoy simply contemplating the questions without seeking a "factual" answer.

Here's a couple more that I wonder about -

Where do your thoughts come from?

If I am a man in this lifetime and I was a woman in a previous lifetime am I male or female or both or neither?

There's a couple here too -

Life's big questions

 

[Deeje]

Smart arse!

Did you say that with an Aussie accent?

 

[Jedster]

What is an experience? a description of the movement of our consciousnesses at the given moment

What is truth? the elephant in the room(any room)

What is an idea? an instance of a new compounding of thoughts

What is unconditional love? the glowing feeling that comes out of us that is mostly suppressed/denied

How does it feel 2 experience a sense of awe and wonder? awesome & wonderful

What is your potential? that which makes me survive

What is humour? a different angle on situations(or things) that make one laugh

What is compassion? giving understanding to others' situations

What is a thought? the primal point of an idea (ye, I know it's recursive :>) )

 

[Quintessence]

What is an experience?

Experience is required in order to level up your character. Not all experience is equivalent. You can't expect to gain experience points in your blacksmithing skill line by slaying monsters now, can you?

(sorry, I just could not help myself on this one)

 

[Geoff-Allen]

Never had that before ...

I guess you could say that love is the ultimate experience - without it life is a real drag!
