I am currently collecting views about life, solely for academic purposes. I would really be grateful if any of you could answer the questions below. It doesn't matter if it's short or lengthy as long as they display your own thoughts and views. Thank you!
1. How would you define happiness?
2. What qualities make a person successful in life?
3. What qualities make a person a good person?
4. Are there any absolute or objective standards of right and wrong? If so, what are they?
5. At this point, what is the highest priority of your life?
6. If someone asked you to explain to them your philosophy of life (what you live by), what would you say? What reasons would you give to justify your answer?
7. What is your view concerning the existence of God or the nature of ultimate reality? What reasons would you give to justify your answer?
8. In your view, what is the most basic or fundamental human problem?
9. Is there a solution to the most basic human problem? If so, what is it?
10. What question do you most wish you could answer in your life?
1. I don't. Happiness is an emotion that comes about under certain circumstances.
2. That depends on the society, but usually hard work, intelligence, luck, and connections.
3. Having compassion and being able to think through the consequences of one's actions.
4. Very few. But once you stop being compassionate towards someone, you are on the road to doing wrong.
5. Love and Truth.
6. Be kind, learn as much as possible about as many things as possible. Help others.
7. I don't believe in deities and I'm allergic to the phrase 'ultimate nature'. The latter implies an outdated metaphysics I don't believe.
8. Lack of compassion and ignorance.
9. Teach children to care and to learn.
10. Whether the Cantor ternary set is a set of uniqueness for the Walsh functions.
