For me?

[4me]

Wouldn't it be a good idea to stick in a 'for me' once in a while when making declarative statements? Sure it's implied but isn't it a good reminder to ourselves and others? Aren't questions even better? Do you see how rampant abuse is in the world? Isn't imposing our picture of the truth on others without considerable thought abuse? Isn't owning the truth the platform of authority? Shouldn't we resist being reduced to single minded viewpoints? Shouldn't we always question authority? Don't questions open minds more readily than declarations of the truth? Isn't it possible that open minds might make the concept of open hearts more available?

Note sure what your 'for me' meant?
Egoistic, selfish, self-centered being-for-istelf, for-itself?

As for questions, note Russell's take on the value of philosophy as in another OP.

"
Thus, to sum up our discussion of the value of philosophy;
Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true,
but rather for the sake of the questions themselves;
because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible,
enrich our intellectual imagination and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation;
but above all because,
through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great,
and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.
"
Bertrand Russell

Do you see how rampant abuse is in the world?
Isn't imposing our picture of the truth on others without considerable thought abuse?
Isn't owning the truth the platform of authority? Shouldn't we resist being reduced to single minded viewpoints? Shouldn't we always question authority?
The above seems to be applicable to some practitioners of Abrahamic religions, authocratic governments, cults and mafia-like gangs.

Hey 4me, you seem to be asking questions for yourself, how about providing your views on the questions you raised for others.

Do you have the courage to make use of your own understanding? Isn't freedom from authority in the mind? Isn't philosophy for living? It is 'for me'. Thank you everybody. And bless you Spectrum. I'm going back to my life. 4me

Yes, I tend to agree with you here.
The 'for me' simply represents your realization that what you are saying comes from your own personal and 'subjective' perspective - it is just a reminder of that - though it may also be shared by many others - it needn't be.
I personally feel that there are a great many 'for me' pieces of the puzzle that need to be put into place before a much larger picture can be seen.
There is nothing egoistical or selfish about the 'to me' - I think it actually speaks for emotional intelligence too and makes it easier to arrive at respectful and intelligent discussions which are more conducive actually to coming to truth or at least moving closer to it.

But that is just how it appears 'to me'.

I have thought about this one! In the context of philosophyclub I take it that each person speaks for themself as do all philosophers in the Greek tradition. Therefore the interjection 'I think' is redundant, where it would be proper at a party or in the street or family.
