Details
Our last meeting was completely taken up with the question "Is happiness a choice"? Suggestions from last meeting were:
What is philosophy?
Why Question?
Can people really Change?
We'll vote on these at the start of the next meeting. Hoping to see you all there.
No arguments, no debating, no politics. Here are the guidelines:
1. Respect all viewpoints – Everyone’s opinion is welcome, even if it differs from your
own.
2. Ask questions – Focus more on asking thoughtful questions than giving definitive
answers.
3. Listen actively – Don't just wait to speak; genuinely engage with what others are
saying.
4. Avoid debating – It's about dialogue, not winning arguments.
5. Support your ideas with reasoning – Explain why you think what you think.
6. Stay on topic – Try not to derail the discussion. A moderator may gently guide the
group back if needed.
7. Take turns speaking – Let everyone have a chance to contribute.
8. Speak from personal experience when relevant – Sharing real stories can enrich
philosophical discussion.
