Basic Info BioI am an athiest, eco-friendly, vegetarian philosopher who values empathy and deep, rational thought. And Fun!
I am, as my name tells you, a cuddle fairy. Close physical contact with others helps to keep my brain pumped with happiness-inducing neurotransmitters.
I am also a garden fairy. I like to play in the dirt and watch things change (either grow or decompose).
I have an Arts degree (Anthropology Major) and a Teaching degree (hons).
I currently teach grade 1/2 students in Primary School.
I love to sing!
My favourite music to perform is Bernstein's Mass!
Thought of the moment:
I want to soar above the treetops and see tiny people in tiny houses living tiny lives.
I want to dive down through the depths of the ocean, to where there is no light, no sound, and no heat, and then resurface to a warm lagoon full of rainbow fish.
I want to walk through a howling storm, and then lie in the hot summer sun.
Previous thoughts from previous moments:
(this is where i record thoughts that have great significance to my outlook on life & i don't want to lose them in the wild jungle of journal posts)
*Can the world I see and hear and smell and touch and taste really be the same world as the one I ponder and conceptualise?
I can not see, hear, smell, touch or taste non-existence or morality or meaning or purpose or time. And yet they seem more real, more true, to me than the grass I see, smell and touch right here and now.
Which is the true world of consequence? It often seems as though the conceptual world is an imaginary world, a playground inside my head. Yet from within that place inside my head, the physical, sensual world seems itself to be the playground.
*Always be skeptical of anything you 'realise' because realisations are frequently based on gut feeling rather than logic.
*My system of morality is all about reducing suffering and increasing happiness, so how do I reconcile causing suffering to others with my ideal of what is morally good? Is it immoral to reduce my own suffering if it increases someone elses?
*Could it be that the Cosmos (time and space) does not flow, but flashes? It is not continuous, but made of discrete parts?
Is the concept of movement a construction of our perceptions? Fluidity an imagined conception? If change does not occur through movement, then what/how does change happen? If it is something unfamiliar, could we even comprehend it?
*To know is to cease contemplation and stagnate.
To never know is to never stop thinking!
*It is a fruitless pursuit to try to gain or hold control over how others interact with me, think of me or feel towards me. It is not up to me to tell someone else how they should feel or act towards others, or what they should give of themself to any other. I should not think someone as in the wrong for giving less or differently to what i expect, if that is what they feel comfortable, safe and content in giving. Such choices are theirs alone.
*How do happiness and truth compare in value? What is the value of living in deluded happiness compared to truthful misery? If suffering and happiness are to be the major tenets of a system of objective morality, where, how and why does truth fit in? Why does truth matter to us?
*My goal of life is to experience happiness (of the many different varieties) as frequently as I can, and to help others (now and in the future) to do the same.
*If people think but do not share their thinking how will they ever progress, for who will be able to point out to them the flaws of their thinking? Many important personal decisions are based upon conclusions made in the privacy of one's own brain, that is - unchallenged conclusions.
*HUGS* TOTAL!
