my one and only axiom is "it is wrong to consciously harm others"

I know that it sounds so very obvious but it really helps me to have this to fall back on in any circumstance.

but is it wrong to harm others, unavoidably, in the course of an action that saves others? is it wrong to harm others as a means to this end? is it wrong to harm others if they're into that?

the only valid axiom is "do right, and only right, because it is right, and is all that is right"

Anything involving predestination.

Just internalize it and then you can happily leave yourself to die guiltless.

Jesus, read vitalists and existentialists, watch Fight Club. After that, making efforts and living your life to the absolute maximum won't be hard at all, and will be very much worth it.

Aestheticism.

Dedicate your life to appreciating, creating, and deciphering beauty in any form you can find it on this earth. As long as you've found beauty in something that day, you will go to bed an overall better human being than you were when you woke up.

I'm confused. Isn't your philosophy how you live day to day. This isn't something you can pick and choose like, say for example, your gender.

I agree with this, but I don't think beauty is worthwhile unless you impose meaning on it.

My personal answer to OP's question is any theistic religion. Simply because it makes the most sense to me, and it's good having few unanswered questions

Easiest: Nihilism or anarchism

Hardest: Christianity

Most vital: Political Ethics

Favorite of failures and losers: Realpolitik

The two types of people in the world are:

Those who become full by emptying themselves. ie. Those who don't take themselves seriously, but endlessly sacrifice themselves for their work, duty, or for other people.

Those who are empty since they tried to remain full. aka Those who take themselves very seriously, but conserve themselves as much as possible and never sacrifice anything.

Best summed up in: Mark 8:35; Matthew: 10:39, 16:25; Luke: 9:24, 17:34; John: 12:25

Does God Exist?: Irrelevant. The moral blueprint of the universe transcends all, also there's no afterlife anyway.

Number one guy:Napoleon. But since 100/100 of you will never have balls big enough to walk in his footsteps; a more realistic moral figure for imitation is Michael Collins.

Evil is born of fear, good is born of fearlessness.

None of you /lit/-tards got the right answer, it's the Philosophy of A from Kierkegaard's Either/Or. Kierkegaard's lying out of his ass when he says the aesthete lands up in despair. You wouldn't, it's beautiful.

Love is the best thing, and it is the best thing to live through. Almost all theistic religions teach this and it's right
