Yes.
If you thought: "Oh no... It's one of Cindy's weird thoughts about weird
things,"Correctly! This is one of my thoughts written down and published
on my blog. I haven't really consciously thought about this before, so I'm sorry
that my thoughts are a bit out of control. I can't control my thoughts yet, and
I don't hope I ever will.
End
of introduction - Now to what I was supposed to write about!
Rudolph
is quite a strange name, isn't it? And even naming a reindeer Rudolph. Santa,
how did you come up with that name? Why not Cookie or... I'm already getting
off subject... No offence to people named Rudolph.
Cindy
is quite a strange name too. Cin-dy. Why not Sindi? That makes more sense, but
Cindy? That's weird. Names are actually a weird thing too. It's used to tell
the difference between people, but if everybody are calling their children
Emma, Sophia or Jacob (On the "most popular baby names"-list 2013)
it's quite useless isn't it? But then again... Then it would be like trying to
find a username on the internet. Impossible.
But
back to my subject, which isn't really a subject, but more of a weird
perspective of the name "Rudolph" and the different thoughts, that
comes along with it.
Ru-dolph.
R-U-D-O-L-P-H. ROO-Dahlf. RuRu. Ruddy. Dolphy. Dolphin. Rudolph. Dolph?
Rudolph Tegner, the Danish sculptor. Rudolf
Steiner, the Austrian philosopher and "founder" of anthroposophy.
"Founder" is also a weird word in that context. Can you be a founder
of a philosophy? Isn't philosophy just thought of how you see the world? And
thoughts aren't very original, because thoughts are based on some kind of
reaction of your experiences (98% of the time), that makes you think. Then, can
you be a founder of a philosophy? What's even the definition of
"philosphy"?
Google.
2 seconds later.
The
definition of "philosophy" according to The Free Dictionary (The
first thing, that came up on Google) is:
Phi·los·o·phy
n. pl.
phi·los·o·phies
1. Love
and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.
2. Investigation
of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values, based on
logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
Woaw...
Deep...
Well...
I know for sure, that the word "philosophy" is Greek.
"Philo-" means love and "-sophy" means
knowledge/information/wisdom. So it must be the love for knowledge. It think it
would be more interesting, if it was the knowledge of love. I don't understand
the term "love". I don't think categorizing "love" as a
feeling is the correct categorization. Some clever people with an impact
somewhere have probably agreed on this, but I allow myself to question this.
A
lot of people have some kind of idea of what love is, but what if love isn't
anything at all. I don't think love and happiness are the same thing. I don't
think you're just utterly happy about your parents or your dog or your
boyfriend/girlfriend, but what if that's not love? What if that's sadness? What
if love is sadness? I'm not trying to depress you or anything, sorry! What if
love doesn’t exist, and we, as humans, have adapted that thought and disguised
it as something we now call: “love”.
Now,
I don’t believe in love being sadness, but I think it’s a quite good way of
seeing love differently.
Or,
I don’t know if anyone have published the same opinion before, but never mind!
Hope
you enjoyed reading my post, if you made it this far or you just skimmed the
text. I’m just thankful, that someone bothered to skim my post. It’s quite
different from the rest of my posts, but I like these posts a lot too.
