Diogenes asked once!.!.!. "of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings!? "!. I think this question resumes the meaning of philosophy!.!.!. to test our mind's limits and to torment us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I've just finished my Philosophy and Ethics AS Level and from what I've been through I would say absolutely not! Although I enjoyed the course, it has completely aggravated me! There was this one time where I got completely hysterical about how meaningless everything was! It was a really horrible time!.
But THEN! I was channel flicking and I got really into this Todd Bentley revival on the GOD channel and ended up watching it for two hours! Which is pretty ridiculous! But yeah, from watching that I've just decided well!.!. How can God NOT exist!?! And from then on, I've been soothed!. And I sound like one of those really annoying born-again Christians or whatever, and I don't even care! :D
