have you ever wondered why do people always say, follow your heart when its not your heart that does the thinking, instead, your brain.
have you ever thought why were tables called "table" & chairs, "chair"
i guess there are no absolute answers to these questions.
thus, there is no absolute explaination as to why tables are named table
tables are table because since young we're taught that 'fact'
however these 'facts' are actually how the scientists perceive it to be
okays, its quite contradictory. but you get the picture.
people may never come to an agreement concerning morals or the existence or nature of god, but nearly everyone concurs that 1+1=2. well, logic is the fundamental tool we use to convince ourselves and others that those beliefs are valid.
" the one thing that i know is that i know nothing" - Socrates
is a paradox for if he knows nothing, he cannot know that this statement is true.
interesting eh..here's something from the book
" People tend to make certain logical assumptions about their thoughts. First , we assume that some statements are true. Second, we often assume that no statement can be both true and false. Third, we often assume , mistakenly, that every statement must be either true or false. If a friend tells u that it is raining, he is either lying or telling the truth. Or is he? After all, it is probably raining somewhere in the world at that moment. But what happens if a man comes up to you and says " i'm a liar"? if the statement is true, then he's not a liar, so the statement is false. But the statement cant be false, because if that were the case, he would be telling the truth and would not be a liar."
it makes me ponder.. so yea (:
