philosiphy and its quierys

[drewdunnrespect]

now then

what is being?please define?

is it one

being as in being a type of animal called a human

or is it two, the internal conflict of the only thing that matters in life.

what is the only thing that matters in life well its what i call "THE SCALES OF LIFE".

what balances the scales of life well on the right you have happiness and on the left you have unhappiness. now why are these the only two things in life that actually matter well everything you do, touch, say, or buy, or even think about, will have an effect on these scales because remember every action has an equal and oppersite reaction.

the reason i ask is i was having a conversasion with a guest at the hotel and its what we were talking about. so when she said this i asked so what is your soul and how does it affect your being.

reason i ask is because i would like to think i am quite emotionally intelligent and can normally pick up on what people are trying to say through body language and what not.
so was woundering what and if there is a diffrence between your soul and being?

now then if there is no differance how come some people can be so emotional intullectually dum cos to be emotionally intelligent i would say you have to have a strong sense of self and be incontact with your own soul and feelings

your answers on a post card please

Wow Drew, what a question.

My starter for ten:

Being is the state or fact of existence.

Your Soulis broadly your individual chemistry that gives you the ability to move and function independently.

As something can exist without soul (for example a brick) but you can't have soul without existing then they are not the same.

I'm pink, therefore I'm spam.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

yes i agree rob but what if your being as in emotional sense of being was diffrent from your soul i.e your heart and your abillity to love some on else and your soul as in your shadow and who you are as a person is diffrent because if that is the case my question still stands
now then if there is no differance how come some people can be so emotional intullectually dum?

the reason i say is because if they are one and the same it would suggest that there should be no emotionally intellectually dum people but we both know this is not the caes.

but then again maybe i am spouting b"ll"ks

In that case maybe 'emotional sense of being' is a just a sub component of 'soul' and therefore not the same.

Also because everybody has a unique 'soul' the sub components that make up the 'soul' differ too. Therefore we can all have differing levels of emotional intelligence but we all have soul. Except Traffic Wardens, Baillifs and Atomic Kitten of course.

Or maybe I'm just speaking Horlicks too.

[drewdunnrespect]

good answer rob never thought of it like that but that would suggest that soul is your conshance (spelt phonetically) and if thats the case we would all be emotionally intelligent cos we would have hind sight cos we would be able to see the emotional damage we course by our actions. The reason i say that is they always say you have to make the best decision at the time and hind sight is a wounderful thing, and plus we dont always sea the damage we course cos they wouldnt be arguments if we did.


or am i spouting horlicks once again

Reading body language is not an innate skill, its a skill you can learn, but do some people just have this ability? I lean toward the 'Tabula Rasa' school of thinking and that we pick these skills up as we go along.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

but how would you learn body reading skills cos its like leaning social ritual the manual way and social ritual is all part of emotional intelligance and yet due to my disablity which is discussed in the below thread

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44157&highlight=disability

i am not very socially mature yet am quite emotionally intelligent normally.
so how would that work

IMO we are animals which have evolved an awareness of self. We are still trying to work out what "self" is and "soul" and gods were used to try and explain things to ourselves.

Much better to accept that we are simply animals and not "special" pets of some invisible "force" and have respect for ourselves and our fellow animals.

Absolutely.

Not going to go into it fully, but there are 2 distinctions, creatures and beings. This is written about in sumer stuff

Creatures are instinctual animals with no perception of self.

Beings are thinking animals with a peception of self.

Soul is nothing more thans mans perception of his own being, if that makes sense.

I do have a question though, what is emotionally intelligent meant to mean. It confuses me as its a contradition in terms.

You can be a feeling person ( emotions) in which your life is ruled by how you feel

Or you can be a thinking person in which your life is ruled by how you think

Do you feel or think? As they are massively different?

The more you think the less you feel, the more you feel the less you think, typical example of lifes balance.

You can be and are both.

Thinking is done by the brain and the emotional response is mainly mediated by glands.

Philosophy - the ancient art of drinking alot but still failing to have a good time and trying to find out why.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

emotional intelligence is the ability to pick up and read how others and your self are feeling at certain point in life for instance being able to read body langauge you can normally tell how some one is feeling but not allways.

why well for instance when some one is in denile they wont show they are upset and in denile but there actions and things they hint at when they say things or what they do and say when drunk. why cos drink loosens inabitions and also because when your talking to the person your in denile about being in love with you will be different and if they know you well enough they will be able to sea that

From my understanding of it Drew, that sounds like emotional sensitivity, both to your own, and others, maybe closer observation plays a part too.

You feel your own emotions, and sense others. Feel and sense are again different matters Feeling is a sense, but sense is not a feeling. You can sense other folks emotions, which then triggers your own similar emotions which you then feel. But what you feel is yours, not theirs. We are all part of the same magnetic field and linked by the same frequencys, Its only our subconscious side that pics up the different vibes, which the conscious side then picks up on and manifests.
