Re: The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
[line]Objective[/line]Sujective: What is right? What is Justice? How should one live? Why do I exist?
What is right?
Hmm, a word, in this context, w/o a definition. What I consider to be right is probably not along the same lines of what you consider to be right. or, its a direction.
What is Justice?
To some, vengeance. You know, taking the law into your own hands and killing that **** who raped your sister. That could also be right. To others, using the court system. again, some more might have a different idea.
How should one live?
Well, you have some people who think its all about pleasuring yourself as much as possible, others who prefer quality pleasure, still more who think it should be an ascetic life, and to others still it should be about dieing for your country.
Why do I exist?
most people don't have an answer. A lot think it is to be of service to their god. Me? to go as far as I can.
All these questions you deemed objective are subjective. tough luck kiddo.

Re: The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
not distance, dope!
we've all travelled hundreds of thousands of hundreds of miles in our lives.
you know the phrase "shoot for the stars"? that kind of thing. I'm not content with getting just a Ph.D. But it's deeper than that. I can't really formulate it into words and do it justice as of now.

Re: The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
the golden rectangle leads to some very beautiful buildings. but some can't stand the order inherent in them.
as to your study: i don't know about that one. what I do know is that while beauty (or determining what is beautiful), is subjective, there do appear to be bounds that everybody follows. i may find one girl to be drop dead gorgeous, and another guy she'll be "meh". but, both views are determined within a set. (unless I've screwed this up. the day we went over this in my philosophy class last year was quite interesting, and the movie, well . . .interesting).
as far as beauty in humans go, it all seems to be pretty much geared toward finding a good mate. and there are rules in that game.
i've probably screwed this up. now then, what was the topic?

Re: The Good, The Bad, and the Indifferent
for thinking that what you listed as being "objective" or "absolutes",
when they aren't, and taking a good look at them reveals the truth of their subjectivity and relativity.
you also come of as immature and ignorant at times--and I know you're young to begin with.
besides, its one of those phrases, like "its raining cats and dogs".
