lol That was funny. It must indeed be a really lonely philosophical existence for you when it comes to engaging in philosophical discussion. But you have to realize that there are many in here who are well up to the challenge (not me, of course) of making your dream come true. You just may have to come down a notch or two in your own estimation.
Sometimes when I have struggled with a poem and finally finished it, I can almost think the same about poetry though of course I certainly know that is not true. But not quite the way you do. It is just the heat and passion of the moment that tells us that.
Then try to squeeze absolutely new ones, fresh ones, original ones, out of your brain/mind. That alone might keep you going and you will not be so lonely for people to communicate with on a philosophical basis. Your mind to your mind - can you imagine the profound experience of that?
Can posting in a philosophy forum be considered to be similar to talking much? I don’t know. I am just asking.
True, even in a philosophy forum. Obviously there has to be that desire for attention; otherwise, who would hear us, feel us?
But, I can’t think that it is solely for attention People have things which they need to say, philosophically speaking, things they believe, think about, need to form within their own minds, if that made sense.
Why does it always have to be about one or the other thing. Humans are complicated creatures. It cannot just be this or that.
Exactly. So one of the most important ingredients for conversation is to find those who are willing to listen, who are interested, who clearly want to listen. … who clearly want to learn and discover.
Perhaps one thing that is important and I do not mean to sound shallow, but perhaps chemistry between two people is important (I don’t mean sexual chemistry). Just that there is something about this or that person which you find attractive,something just draws you to him or her, even if you do not like fishing or football or playing scrabble or talking about fashion, et cetera.
Do you have the ability to do that? hahaha.
I wonder just how far you would be able to go with a person who for instance was interested in hugging trees, for instance or talking to birds or squirrels or walking in the rain when everyone else goes inside? Those things though are normal.
What about someone who likes to look up into the clouds and see the patterns in them?
Well, we don’t have to be forced to deal with the public, now do we?
Do you think that extremely etroverted people are narcisstic in nature, only wanting to discuss their selves?
True and this can become a very enriching thing to one. Enriches both. Human Intimacy (non-sexual) plays such a role in our physical/mental and emotional health - all the same actually rolled into rolled.
People are not always so open and desirous of revealing who they are and they have no idea of what a gift it can be to their selves.
Hmm, is it a male female thing or is it about the individual him/her -self? There is the element of trust, of course, which takes time and needs to be earned although if one is more or less secure when one’s self, that element of trust is always working inside the person. It’s not blind faith how can I put it, I don’t know, it’s like self-affirmation.
The world can really become one’s own oyster where there is trust and a desire to relate. Perhaps the universe sings when the world can come together like this. Okay I’m rambling.
I will instigate a conversation with a male Where is the problem in that. We are both a part of human kind, no?
As for the second part, of course it is. But maybe not entirely.
