Philosophical Pay The Price People

More From E. L. Doctorow

Dreams require down payments. dreams are free, but the journey isn't. there is a price to pay. first, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. ralph waldo emerson said, 'whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.

Philosophical argument, trying to get someone to believe something whether he wants to believe it or not, is not, i have held, a nice way to behave towards someone; also it does not fit the original motivation for studying or entering philosophy. that motivation is puzzlement, curiousity, a desire to understand, not a desire to produce uniformity of belief. most people do not want to become thought-police. the philosophical goal of explanation rather than proof not only is morally better, it is more in accord with one's philosophical motivation.

The terminology of philosophical art is coercive: arguments are powerful and best when they are knockdown, arguments force you to a conclusion, if you believe the premisses you have to or must believe the conclusion, some arguments do not carry much punch, and so forth. a philosophical argument is an attempt to get someone to believe something, whether he wants to beleive it or not. a successful philosophical argument, a strong argument, forces someone to a belief.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that what that person did was right or that you even have to get back into a relationship with that person. forgiveness simply releases the debt they owe you so that god can release the debt you owe him. ask the lord to search your heart and show you if there is any unforgiveness blocking his blessing in your life. ask him to show you more about this gift of forgiveness so that you can walk in the freedom and victory he has for you today.
