Players ... Your Stage Awaits ....

*Philosophy has been of great interest every since I was ten years old -- my need to understand the world and it's many influences was the initial attraction.
The Five Branches are:
Metaphysics -- study of existence
Epistemology -- study of Knowledge
Ethics -- study of action
Politics -- study of force
Esthetics -- study of art
I lean more towards Esthetics, Epistemolgy and Ethics (this is still in development. They are my three Es.
I used esthetices to understand science as it relates to nature and spirituality (not religion). The intellectual elements of science was originally created as an integral part of philosophy. So understanding science kind of helped my understanding of human nature.
Epistemolgy and ethics has helped formed my approach to life and how I view why certain aspects are necessary.
This Shakespearian matches my views signicantly:
"All the world's a stage ...and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts,
his acts being seven ages
This something I felt like sharing

Oh Prime, I wasn't talking about modern day politics -- NO WAY! Politics -- study of force is a way of keeping people from killing, threatening, robbing or doing other inhumane things. A monopoly within a governement can help with antagonizing forces and objectifying laws. See what I mean 
Everyone Can't Be In The Front Row

Life is a theatre. Invite your audience carefully.
Not eveyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplilsh when you let go, or at least
minimize, your time wtih draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.
Which ones lift and which ones lean ?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage ?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill ?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse ?
Which ones always have drama, or don't really understand, know or appreciate you ?
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
You cannot change the people around you.
But you can change the people you are around.

Hi Branh,
I think it's the other way around: You can't have politics without philsophy. Governement ideally about individuals with a system (govenement) who are allowed to fully function according to their nature.
*** giggles *** I don't think you are a man of philsophy, but it's good that you want to learn ^_^.

WOW! That's an amazing quote Freebird! It's also very true ... you have just reminded me of a few things

No wait Branh, maybe be philosophical -- you lean more towards metaphysics, very much the realist. Where I am more esthetices! LOL a ying and yang 
Thank you, aquaaqi
Yes, I am a bit older than most on this board and as a matter of fact - my work deals with relationships. You are quite intuitive
Me thinks that YOU are also on the same path?????

I find intrapersonal and interpersonal communications interesting. That's why I can speak on how confused men can be when it comes to women ALONG with how wishy-washy women can be when it comes to men.
Freebird, if i can remember you have a cappy moon, right?

great memory - yes I do.
LOL, then that explains our similar approach ... mine is in Aqua
More the likely, you don't let too many things bother you or interfer with you mood. You don't worry about stuff you can't fix and you don't discriminate when it comes to people from all works of life.
Also, you probably can be very nonchalent with it comes to trifles
Am I alittle right?

Yes, cappysweetie you are ...infact an Aqua pal of mine said to me last night, "you don't worry about anything do you?" Nah.....what's the point? People from ALL walks of life fascinate me - I learn from them and I enjoy each person's unique character. They are what makes this world go round :-)
Trifles?....what are those?

Trifles is another way if saying "useless" or "pointless"
Yep, I'm the same way I only stress or the apparent situations and what I actaully CAN do something about ... but I may not know how to at that moment.

People always accuse aries of being blunt, hurtfull, harsh, etc. But when I see little aries wobble around with their happy faces I just can't believe!

Why do people think we are so pushy? There was a girl that I liked, and maybe I'm just dumb, but it seemed to me that she would hang out with me if I talked her into it somehow. So I tried, and then she accused me of being too pushy and won't talk to me a

There is a girl that I like, and her opinion of me seems to change with the wind. Two months ago she thought I was a really nice guy. Now she thinks I am really annoying and retarded. I'm really inexperienced with women, and I want to figure out a way to
