Well, this is my homework for the June Holidays.
First up philosophy;
Q1: "I am lying."True or false?'
If I say that it is false then I would be lying in which case it would be true, but if I say that that It is true that I am lying then it would be false, thus this question can not be answered truthfully in my opinion.
Q2: How do you know that you are not dreaming right now?
Well for starters I don't really know.But then if I was dreaming, would the world not be better(for me)? If I was dreaming wouldn't I be able to choose what i dream to a certain extent? Thus I feel that it is safe to assume that I am not dreaming.
Q3: How do you know who your friends are?
You never know when someone may betray you. You may consider someone your friend but does he/she? For all we know he/she may be a 'spy' waiting for the right moment to stab us in the book. So I say trust them till the day they betray you, for only then will you know. Or you could "trust no one, including yourself."
Q4: Should you criticise people or the opinions they have?
In my opinion we should criticise ourselves before we even attempt to criticise others. Some times it really is the person but sometimes it is their opinion but their opinion comes from them selves. So the root cause is them, people.
Q5: If many people think something is true , is it true?
Some people say that a lie repeated a hundred times is a truth. It leaves a sort of imprint on the face of the earth. People believe in what they want to see, so in certain ways, what they think is true, may be true to them.
