Stop Leaking Water Bottles For Chinchillas



PQ, that is, a philosophical attitude is, for us, of course, not simply a matter of continuing a series acronym. Motto: "complete the following list: EQ, IQ, MQ, __." PQ is not intended as intellectual game for bridging commercial breaks.

PQ for us is rather a matter of everyday life. When Karl Popper says "All men are philosophers" , we believe that is exactly the expression PQ.

For PQ so no study is necessary, PQ requires no religious faith, you have to know not even know who Karl Popper and Kant or Plato were. Even if the PQ term "philosophy" lies, is a special philosophical knowledge - in particular the history of philosophy - not necessary.

The need for a PQ result for us of their benefit in the here and now. Three situations may illustrate this:
  • morning at Zeitunsgkiosk. The tabloid asks in large letters, whether it could it be true that now an RAF terrorist come free.
  • afternoon walking. A woman in a fur coat to keep a dog not to be hearing argument with a young man who rebelled in "holy anger" about the fact that they have taken on the death of innocent animals in their jewelry purchase.
  • evening on the road. A child asks his mother in the face of some inline skaters who roll on the road next to each other, because if that was allowed or if the contrary were not on the footpath.
Ordinary situations very different situations. What benefit is in them have a PQ? We believe PQ helps in these situations more or less openly made to answer questions.

Whether these questions are of general interest and shall have an answer for far-reaching consequences for society, or whether these issues flare up just short and of very personal interest is irrelevant. There are always issues that concern us. They speak to us in the way we ask for - to pause, to an opinion - as always short. They are like little crossroads where we must decide on a direction.

This decision shall be for the most part not on our way in the physical world, but they have influence on our spiritual path. Any answer we give us is a building block to our personality and therefore a paving stone on our (spiritual) life. Yes we

answers to the question of the release of a terrorist, yes to the question of the killing of animals for fur coats, yes to the question of the in-line skating on the street, then we move mentally in a different direction than we were three times with no answer.

answers to these questions and millions more are simply not in us. They are not simply "on the street" or are in books. We must instead find themselves over and over again. We have to decide for them. Even if we react to a new situation with an old answer, we answer the So apparently are just not needed, because she was already in us, so we still have to decide for this old answer. The confirmation or reuse of a response is an action and not a state.

We now think that PQ will help us deal with these ever-necessary decisions. Therefore, for us at the beginning of the PQ just this awareness of the inevitability of permanent decision. We all are constantly in demand. The world calls us every minute, "take a stand! Confess you!"
