questions..

Prachi mentioned to me a few days back that to live such a philosophy would be great temporarily...would be interesting.I got thinking...Can someone actually live a philosophy? Even if u believe that, how real is that truth? And what great belief it would be..an obsession ? How does one have the courage to do that? Are Philosophies only for proposing , finding fascinating and leaving them to gather dust on a corner shelf, or to be something of the past? And if u did live them , wouldnt it be the most enriching experience be to live through all of them temporarily and your own too? Life would just be so much more. Is this just abstract thought?
Why?
I cant leave my comfortable shell and venture out to believe anything and make it a part of my life, other than what i already believe in .well, i dont have to but well its hard for one to think beyond your everyday doings, goals, trials and the instantaneous life?
The Instantaneous Life...thats what it is...can I live beyond the instant?
Shrug.
Anyway nothing matters, if I'm listening to Albert Camus.
I have lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another.-Camus

hmmm...if the question is the HOW of living a philosophy then...its simple, live a period of existence...then turn around with a jolt...shoot down some incidents, some experiences, some of all the things we use to define LIFE, then pull out some threads n peices n particles from the carcass or rather the ghost of these memories n build up a philosophy.....dont know if that'll be so enriching...considering that the joy of living the philosophy is sort of restricted to the moments of building & concluding and maybe the moments after that.....but what the hell atleast u rnt forcing yourself down,foot first,into a rubber tube that was meant for ur neck...
