If you do, just hope you don't get stuck working next to the register girl who has the most annoying laugh you've ever heard.
 
God exists, there is an afterlife, and you will pay for your sins in this life. Some or all of that may be true, or not. But what is definitely true is that if you are reading this then you are alive and your words and actions affect others. Maybe there are consequences to harmful actions towards others, but even if there isn't it doesn't make it alright to hurt someone else. So, my personal philosophy is, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Not in the hope of eternal salvation or any reward, but IMHO when you help others you also help your own self image.

It doesn't look like very many here have studied philosophy much.

But, that's why I linked to the quiz. Anyone can take it.

spot on task, and it's inarguable that we all are needy , if not entirely self enlightened (trying to be polite :rolleyes: ) right outta the womb......~S~
 
my philosophy aligns more with Jesus Christ.
