My Philosophy

After an intense, amazing conversation with my friend Justin, I jotted down in about 5 mins an outline of My Philosophy. This is what it is:

My Philosophy

Land - take care of it
Debt - don't have any it
Music/Arts - okay
Selfishness - no place
Existence - nothing?
Pets - Understand them
Religion - meaningful to an extent
Politics - useless
Moral issues - gray for everyone
Family - breakaway from the stigma of 'successful' but hugely important "oxymoron" Where do you draw the line? Parents want you to be happy, but when do you stop explaining your 'happiness" towards them, and only realize it for yourself and not their approval.
Material possessions - necessary, unfortunately, reduce, strip away
Reading - important
TV - rots...common thing to talk about....terrible
Health - extremely important, your body is a temple and should be treated as such
Economy - local, for the greater good. (scary) help out fellow man, or help out yourself. Understand interconnectedness. Therefore capitalism does not work! Neither does communism. Local, small economies....principaled about self-sustainment. Not the most efficient, but the most rewarding. Life is not short and miserable, but fulfilling.
Friends - gratifying, engaging, need the right ones....surrounded by the challenging, compassionate people
Shelter - necessary, needs to be a sanctuary, needs to be clean, welcoming
Vocation - not take over your life, fulfilling or lets you live a fulfilled life. doesn't exploit others, helps you sustain, not prosper.
Children - ?
Reverse effort - selfish, utterly selfish. only works if you have complete understanding that everything is nothing, but still selfish because not everyone has that understanding.
Sexuality - powerful, self-destructive, must be utilized extremely carefully, must be comfortable...very difficult.
Work ethic - need to cultivate
Leisure - need to balance
Life - scary right now, goal to be understanding, content, happy
