Other Person's Response: You say a person would be an empty vessel if he had no feelings of love and attraction. But, if he had other positive feelings, then he wouldn't be an empty vessel.
My Reply: That's right. He could still be a holy, divine being of light through other positive...
Other Person's Response: I could say the sentence: "I don't need any of my organs to live." But, that sentence is nothing more than a phrase. It wouldn't change the reality that, if all my organs were vaporized, I'd be dead.
My Reply: Exactly. Labels and phrases don't change reality...
Other Person's Response: What if your definition of love, good, bad, etc. is wrong, and god's definition was right all along?
My Reply: Then I was wrong.
Other Person's Response: What if god isn't perfect, all-knowing, etc.?
My Reply: Then my definition of love, good, bad, etc. could be...
Other Person’s Response: I heard that your miserable struggles were horrible feelings, they made your existence a horrible, living hell, and they were immense forms of suffering for you. But, they didn’t transform you as an individual, since you still live by this simplistic philosophy that...
Other Person’s Response: I could still act as though it’s a bad thing to torture someone, even while I’m seeing it as a good thing to torture that person. My act would just be concealing that I’m really seeing it as a good thing to torture that person.
My Reply: Yes. In which case, you...
Other Person's Response: The acts of that serial killer would be acts of deception, rather than acts of love. In order for his acts to be classified as loving acts, he'd need to be a loving individual.
My Reply: Which would mean he'd need to change from being a serial killer to being a...
Other Person’s Response: It would be better for that person to not feel any panic when putting himself in danger, right?
My Reply: Right. It would be better if he felt joy when protecting that person. But, fear isn’t something we can help. If we’re put in a dangerous situation, then we...
Other Person’s Response: So, if an emotionless person has chosen to get work done, then he’d just be having the intention to get work done? But, he’d have no motivation to get work done?
My Reply: Correct.
Other Person’s Response: It seems to me you’re making a distinction between one’s...
Other Person’s Response: I heard you say there were certain emotions you’ve felt that were much more profound feelings than other emotions you’ve felt. But, profoundness is something defined by the individual.
My Reply: Emotions are perceptions of beauty, horror, etc., which means emotions...
Other Person's Response: If you're an eternal, spiritual being whose physical body dies, but whose soul never dies, then even if your entire lifespan here on Earth was wasted by a lifelong struggle of misery, and you never got the chance to pursue your composing dream, 80-100 years wasted would...
Other Person’s Response: I’ve heard that having this recent crisis has caused symptoms of a potential heart attack, due to all that chronic stress/worry. You say your heart rate is chronically higher than normal, and that you sometimes feel mild stabbing in your heart. Do you think these...
Other Person’s Response: Having suffering and illness is necessary for scientists to learn things to invent cures. It’s a beautiful learning experience for them, which means they benefit.
My Reply: A person’s life shouldn’t be robbed by suffering and illness, just so scientists can have this...
Other Person’s Response: It seems to me there’s a difference between one’s personal experience and one’s personal definitions because defining the enduring of your misery as happiness did nothing to change your personal experience. Your personal experience was like being in a dark, suicidal...
Other Person's Response: I heard that you feel many negative emotions during this crisis. If you continue to expose yourself to these emotions, I think that will speed up your recovery. So, I think exposure therapy is the answer for you. An example of exposure therapy would be someone...
Other Person's Response: If you think that good, bad, etc. is purely emotional based, then you lack empathy. An empathetic individual would be living by a much better definition of good, bad, etc.
My Reply: Well, empathy can't exist without emotions because empathy is where you care about...
Other Person’s Response: If a person feels fear, that means he’s experiencing fear, which means he’s afraid, which means he’s in a fearful state of mind.
My Reply: Yes.
Other Person’s Response: When a person has a phobia, such as a fear of spiders, spiders become very frightening in his...
Other Person's Response: What if people don't understand your philosophy, and misinterpret it?
My Reply: That's fine. I tried my best to explain it, and I just hope people can understand it. That way, they'll understand why I need my positive emotions. Many people think positive emotions...
Other Person’s Response: There are articles that make the claim that a life without emotions is no way to live, while there are other articles that claim otherwise. Here’s an article that supports the necessity of emotions:
What if humans had no emotions?
Here’s an article that’s against the...
Other Person’s Response: So, bliss is good, misery is bad, and apathy is neutral (neither good nor bad)?
My Reply: Correct.
Other Person’s Response: There are people who love and enjoy their misery or pain. These people are known as “masochists.”
My Reply: If a person was miserable, and...
My Reply: I'd choose to be the blissful vegetable. So, it was all about my positive feelings and never about my composing dream in of itself. That's why I must enjoy my composing through my positive feelings, since they're what make my composing positive for me.
For example, if I produced a...
