Philosophy is supposed to be about life and if your philosophy is about
philosophy then it is not about life.
And I see this same problem across the board. I love art, but I hate
paintings that are ABOUT PAINTING. I hate poetry that is ABOUT POETRY. I
hate music that is ABOUT MUSIC as well as movies ABOUT MOVIES. And this is
what I mean by my complaints about what you post here. I get the distinct
impression that your philosophy is ABOUT PHILOSOPHY and has very little to
do with what's in your heart. It doesn't come from your life so much as from
the books you've read.
Matt:
Are the books we read not part of our lives?
This didn't really make sense to me either.

Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
- Oscar Wilde
The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.
