Great, we shall start the chess existentialist society of RHP. But seriously, you have a theology degree, what is it that gives one persons life more meaning than another? This business of living, it appears to me that we build constructs which civilise us but reduce us to a kind of domestic rabbit when we would experience living as wild rabbits. What say you?
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeIts really interesting. A Christian is taught that he must love others as he does himself. Logically therefore one must have at least a degree of self love before one can love others as oneself, surely?

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeYes I suspect that self loathing could be immensely destructive.

Originally posted by Ghost of a Dukehmm I suspect that we all have aspects of our personality that we are not to enamoured with. Sadly I don't have 1200 pounds sterling to be lavishing on some wholesome psychoanalysis, but if I did, I would gladly give it to you.
Please take a seat on my couch sir and tell me about your self loathing...

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI think I get you. We have invented all sorts of things to make us happy but when,say ...flipping bottles (with a bit of water inside) has become the latest craze amongst the school kids here it underlines that you cant "capture" fun. And no one invented it (marketed it)

I was thinking about two rabbits. A wild rabbit and a domestic rabb ...[text shortened]... from truly living.
I am incredibly interested in what people do to give their lives meaning.
