As the topic indicates... What is the philosophy, quote, saying etc... that you base you life mostly on and use basicly every day in your life with yourself and your surroundings?
I mainly follow the quote : "To be or not to be? That is not the question! To BE! But to be what?" it kind of makes me think about every choice i make in my life and every path i choose to take with myself and my surrounding.

I don't like to think I have a philosophy to be honest. Philosophy, as a 'textbook definition' is nothing more than a study of general and fundamental problems and I prefer keeping it that way. If I based my life on the study of it, I may as well be a philosopher, which I'm not

Being very much of the INTP personality type, I like getting lost in my thoughts and am very insular, so as long as my way of life isn't disturbed or altered by anyone else, I'm happy. So in that sense, I'm very individualistic in my outlook of life...'proof'? Well, look at the number of 'I's' in this post, lol.

Every time I start thinking about that I get into a dead-end or I get a feeling that my head will catch fire. I guess I need to learn more.
As for philosophers, my favorite is Heraclitus.

My personal philosophy is closest to the philosophy of Epicurus , with a pinch of Heraclitus, Nietzsche and Russel.

My personal philosophy is simple:

I am human and as a human, I know that my body produces an incredible amount of waste and that every so often...this waste needs to be depleted. Therefore my philosophy revolves around the idea that a toilet is essential to my everyday life and therefore, where ever I go and whatever I do, there must be a washroom nearby.

Common Sense. It's something most people have lost and is something that I will forever have. Gets me farther in this world.

I'm currently leaning towards hedonism again, after going through the 5 steps of my mourning period with me not being able to extend my scholarship abroad, i'm back in the game, to rock, drink, fuck and breathe all the pleasure smokes of life, as i now have a job.

Having a job is kinda cool isn't it?

Man, things really have changed since the hippies.

This is brilliant! Toiletism.

Another philosophy that I live by is this....I never believe what people say. I usually end up researching it. It allows me to cut out the bullshit that people say.

Not exactly based on a philosophy, but what i do every day on my acts are the product of descisions taking sometimes in the moment, and others, by smashing my brain hard; but what never changes (well, 90% of the times) is that what im gonna do, is gonna be done and nothin can undone what is done, see? it´s kinda complex, but works for me

but like is said "Our heart makes the plans but it is the Lord who directs our steps"
awesome dont u think

yeah, i also have a bullshit filter i use on almost everyone, the best example of it being useful was when i didn't get into the bullshit Amway MLM scheme, even though i was promised massive revenues.

I guess its this: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself"
So, generally I try to act nice and be fair...
But if someone hates me and is not being 'nice/fair' I'll just ignore them.
Even though this does conflict with my personality. I am a very cynical and hateful person. So...

I actually don't know...
