RE: "The Existentialists": Part 1 - Gabriel Marcel - The Neo-Socratic

in #philosophy5 years ago

Interesting read as usual.

Looking at the bottom of the post, you appear to have planned quite a long series for the net weeks I guess. Will be great!

Regarding the detachment from material possessions I think we are on the same page. Many spiritual people, however, overexaggerate that behavior and principally start destesting materialistic things altogether. I would say that, as always, balance is the best way, which means that we can indeed enjoy physicality without attaching to it or defining ourselves over it. We live in a physical world with a physical body, and completely rejecting it will only cause us inevitable feelings of guilt, discomfort and resistance.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry my friend, but I forgot to hit the post button
Thanks a lot for the careful reading and enlighted comments as a brand that should guide Steemit.
You are definitely right, there is a balance sheet between "To Have" as Non-existence of the dark material world, and "To Be" as the light of Existence.
Yes, our bodies are the Wombs of Existence framed in Materiality.
When we go to extremes it means that there are some pathological symptoms hidden in the dark corners of our mind.
And thanks for the feeling that Steemit is still alive. :)
You're always welcome my friend with your motivation to write for people instead of bots.
Cheers
And "Do worry"
"To be happy"
