can i change his mind?

I’m very bored so this may not even be relevant but has anyone ever noticed that all the old wise ones say just be yourself don’t care what other people think? Well I don’t think it’s just that simple, I think in a universal way you are what or who other people say you are. The real truth is purely irrelevant, if Amy tells Lora that you are a loser it may not matter but if everyone around you thinks it then it becomes the truth. You are in everyone’s belief a loser which is on it’s own a justification. Nothing more is needed, just as much as god exists, you are a loser. Noting in the equation is a certain fact yet it is widely understood that god exists so no one dares question it. So am I not a loser if everyone around me believes that I am ? It should just as well be. I’m not trying to say god doesn’t exist, it’s just a matter that is always with me that if there are no certain facts to show a god or gods do exist then it is just accepted without verification. So what is there to stop me from being a loser, if everyone around me thinks I am? The fact is I’m what the environment around me says I am, it may not be true but if it is believed then there is no running away from an invented fact.

 

 This is what you get from reading too much philosophy.  Still the cookie jar is too far up and Aristotle’s notes on epistemology right here on the screen. Philosophy makes me hate life and myself. Not trying to sound smart or anything (of course I am) just hope someone else can read up on that stuff. I have a big problem with stupidity and trying to avoid it is very hard work. reading, writing and most of all thinking (sometimes it hurts) all of this and again sometimes things just don’t go as pland and you look stupid in front of everyone. I hate that.

Wow, ive never thought of it like that. But it makes perfect sense. I know I’m only 17, so i cant be all that smart. i just love reading about philosophy and phsycology. even though most of it is kind of depressing… ~*Mandy*~
