The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.
This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.
Chat about anything your heart desires here, just be civil. Factual or scientific questions about philosophy go here (e.g. "When was Socrates born?"), and so most homework help questions belong here. Note, posts in the off-topic section will not increase new members post counts. This includes the introductions and feedback sections.
When the essay is written in which the material comes together just right with perfected coherence, but the word count does not meet the required parameters, it is a sin to add filler.
Life is "bitter herbs" and "sweet spices." Life is like Beethoven's first movement of his fifth symphony; with the dire and tragic along with the harmonious and pleasant. It is important not to suppress either side of the human condition.

Very good! "It is important not to suppress either side of the human condition." Yes, it takes both sides of the human condition to paint the complete picture!
Things are not always as they appear; it's a matter of perception.
The eyes can only see what the mind has, is, or will be prepared to comprehend.
~What a treasure trove of multiple mindgasms this thread is! ~ Thank you!
Hummingbird you can

Humanity has been galvanized by the internet. Its' a virtual, neural web of collective consciousness. And in this social-electric state, we all have a say; From the darkest corners of thought to the most enlightened. It's a mirror of all our minds.
This one was spoken by my 4 year old son (who is now 6) and is, I think, an improvement on a well known saying:
"All good things must come to a bend"
Mistaking the word "end" for the word "bend" adds more truth to the saying because it suggests that there never really are any end-points in life, just changes of direction.
But maybe my generous interpretation of this simple mistake is just parental bias.

Adorable and an improvement on the old saying!
Parental bias is what makes kids feel loved!
