Exactly, they believe it's praiseworthy. As I said, belief in praise is foundational. But is it justified? Saying we believe it's praiseworthy makes it's praiseworthy is circular reasoning though.

Have you considered that the "Cougar" may represent investment in a cat food company?
Have you considered that living has no rules and we "make it up as we go along" Pragmatism might work in well here.
Have you considered that your religion has poorly prepared you for REAL life?
Have you considered that you "passions" are the very motivation you NEED to move towards you desired outcomes?
IF you have NOT considered at least the few things then izslam has done you a great disservice my dear.
There maybe a reason most humanity hates philosophy, and thinks philosophy is a waste of time.
Because it's best to live irrationally. Without thinking things through. That is how animals live. And we were once animals.
Unfortunately, our drive for wisdom, made us evolve to what we are, but at the same time, having never found it or justified, all our wisdom maybe a delusion.
I want to know sophia. I want to know beautiful wisdom. But maybe wisdom is not so beautiful. But I am driven by a passion for it.
