Philosophy is one thing (and defendable), but all philosophy by definition requires the examination of ones beliefs in order to make sure that those beliefs are realistic. Philosophy can not be the incorrect application of an irrelevant theory, followed by the refusal to reexamine. Therefore, this is not philosophy.

[I](Not quite sure where you think you're going with this - I choose to apply some of the philosophy of Sun Tzu to my thoughts on this thread and the game. Who are you to invalidate (and with what?) anything of what I've said? Also, what's not realistic about focusing on the positive. No matter what the walk of life, there are many who choose to focus on the positive. That is their philosophy and their very success validates it.

The key term in 'free choice' is "free."

The key term(s) in I'm going to sleep is/are I'm going to sleep.

Respectfully,

The same to you.
