Philosophy for Life

Beatles – In My Life Lyrics

Songwriters: LENNON, JOHN WINSTON / MCCARTNEY, PAUL JAMES
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

Great vocals...take a listen
In My Life - The Beatles Play me now!

Philosophers Fish Story

A story: A man goes fishing each day in all kinds of weather, year in and year out.  He has some kind of hope or faith, you might say, that eventually he will catch a fish.  Usually if he stays true to his actions i.e. his fishing actions, he will be rewarded with fish.  Can we as Philosophers abstract some sort of faith or principles, like in the story of the fisherman, just from the practice of philosophy alone,


or do we need something more as humans.  We are told that all humans at some point, learn to rely on some sort of basic faith.  The language of the Philosopher is somewhat particular but also universal.

Fishing Down Under

I had the opportunity to fish the shores of Hervey Bay, Queensland...but all I caught was lots of sandflies.


 
Toogoom, Qld.
and the lone fisherman 

Music is my middle name

.....and the band

Ever since I was a young boy, I have loved the Fab Four.  The first Beatle record I ever bought was "Meet the Beatles"
I collect Beatle prints and paraphernalia I have a whole room back home referred to as 
the Beatle Room
My knowledge of this Fab group is unending, ask me anything!
