just a question about life...

do you believethat, "no mans an island"? hell, i dont

anyways, give you opinions on why it is or not thrue (the phrase "no mans a island")

get ready to test your wits, as for your posts that has this aura that it hasnt been thought of is detected, mediocrity enters my mind, and it also supports, that its not true...

please, answer. its serious business for me...

based on technicalities, of course it true literally. i mean, we need our parens for support, etc... thats literal. im talking about spirituality and sometihing of the higher level.

so what do you think, i say its not true, i feel it right here and now. prove me wrong

it is a general discussion, im not just looking for a yes or no answer, i want them to share word with me. its not a poll rather its a question of their principles and defending it. well, i see it that way.

Is this some psychological theory?

I think it is talking about morality and us, as human beings.

Do a search for my previous "Homework" thread bahamut! - It has somethings about having people in your life and not being separated.

(Is that what "no man's an island" all about?)

Or are we talking BUSINESS here?

Bahamut, this is a very deep and philosophical question!

I won't answer right away, as I have to go in 5 minutes, and cannot give it enough thought to do the question justice in that time. But I will answer probably tomorrow. OK?

"No Man Is An Island" means, to me, that we all need other people to survive. That our actions don't impact only ourselves. And that we should always keep this in mind as we go through our days.

That's all. 'Nuff said.

Sometimes I think I
understand everything,
then I regain consciousness.

So what you are saying is that some men are, in fact, "islands." I would argue that the phrase rings true. Even people that are physically isolated from society have psychological ties to someone or something to keep them going. Take, for example, Mr. FedEx in the movie "Castaway." He had Helen Hunt and his volleyball to keep him going. Even sociopaths, serial killers, and the like tie themselves psychologically and emotionally to parts of the world outside themselves. The other side of the coin are the strong, independent types. I would not consider them as "islands" as they demonstrate their strength relative to their surroundings. They show that strength in their interpersonal relarions. The only people I could think of that could be fully considered to be "islands" would be those in such a catatonic state that they could neither respond to stimulus nor could they form coherent thoughts. However, people that can't be considered sentient should probably not be included in this discussion.

If you were an Island, you would not be interacting on this board, for one!!

For every action you take, you impact another - and that alone makes you NOT an island... get it?
