This thread shouldn't exist. That it does indicates a need for some serious personal internal re-evaluation. Get real clear on who you are, what you intend, who your friends are, and it will be a lot clearer to you.

What are we talking about here?
Existentialism: Everything is what you make it. If it's
rubbish, it's your own damn fault.
Nihilism? Rubbish doesn't exist. You don't exist.
Relativism? My rubbish is better than your rubbish.
Solipsism? (I just learned this one here at the 'Cat.)
Rubbish is all you know. You are all you know. Therefore,
you are rubbish. (Did I get that right?)
Narcissism? You think your own 'rubbish' doesn't stink.
Ask EB White: One man's treasure is another man's rubbish.
Ask Dr. Freud: You are apparently stuck in that infantile
stage where you are obsessed with playing with your doodoo.
Ask the Enlightened Master: All things are one. Rubbish and
Not-Rubbish are one.
Ask the Buddhist monk: Be grateful for rubbish, as it affords
you the opportunity to grow spiritually.

I forgot consumerism: you get what you pay for, so if you think it's all rubbish, you aren't spending enough.

And then there's the Protestant work ethic, which loosely translate into you get what you work for (i.e. deserve) therefore, maybe rubbish is what's just and appropriate for the likes of some people...

solipsism... only i exist as a mind. everything and everyone else is simply my imagination and extensions of myself. if i call SueB a horrible little person, i am calling myself it.

how did you make a list of the ideologies and then put examples after them??

did you have a lot of time on your hands, or did you get it from a website... if so, linky please!

Sorry, s6K, it's just the result of many years wasted reading when I should have been doing something productive with my life.

The sound of Rubbish? I know I know!   The Roo (my cat) got locked outside last night and when I let her in this morning, man was she rubbish.   And the sound was definitely purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Therefore, I conclude that the sound of Rubbish is purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Only problem is, my new moccasins are covered with tatty sandy old hair now .....   :-(   

What rubbish.

Purr.

I just heard on BBC Radio 4 that an exhibit at an art gallery was a sack of rubbish, [I think it was The Tate Modern, London, but not sure], but the cleaner threw it out!
The "Artist" that created it was annoyed at having his work thrown away, and made another one [must have taken him all of 2 minutes!

This new sack of rubbish, sorry "Work of Art", is locked away each night, to stop the cleaners throwing it away!

Is Modern Art Rubbish??? :-)

This very similar to the doctrine of original sin.
We have no chance of behaving ourseles, because we are inherently bad - rubbish in fact.
The fact of us being rubbish, however does not excuse us and we're all in for a right pasting when God catches up with us.
However even though we are unworthy rubbish and much our behaviour is rubbish - he will be merciful.

I wonder why religion is in decline.

weelittle - That kind of religion is definitely in decline and richly deserves to be, but it's not the only kind of religion. It's just the stupidest, most primitive kind of religion.

Anything a human being deeply believes IS his religion and his main motivation in life. Conclusion: all human beings are religious, whether or not they believe in "God". Atheists included. :-) I never met an atheist yet who was not deeply religious about something...if not several things. To find out what a person is capable of, and can be expected to do...determine first what his chosen religion is. It may be making money, it may be having a lot of possessions, it may be professional accomplishment in his field of activity, it may be romance, it may just be sex, it may be "being cool", it may be gaining other people's acceptance, it may be raw survival, it may be "success", it may be popularity, it may be fame, it may be the desire for martyrdom, revenge, or justice (as he sees justice), it may even (in a very few cases) be to seek out and know what he terms "God" or the Absolute.

The last group is rather few in number these days!

But they all have one thing in common...they imagine that there is a great reward waiting at the end of their chosen rainbow. :-)

How many of them are right about that?
