Axioms!

[zarcos]

I like making up axioms. Anyone else?

The only difference between focus and distraction is how useful you find that which captures your attention.

The most effective intimidation is perpetual, unspoken and self-evident.

I'll add more as they come, I need somewhere to write these down so I don't forget.

May I tag along?

Axiom I: my mind exist.
Axiom II: other minds, distinctly seperated from mine, exist.

All truth is parallel.

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Every conscious action, irrespective of whether is is admirable, or reprehensible, is made in the pursuit of some perceived good.

Only through trial by fire may we temper our psyche against being shattered. Only through being broken may we be reforged stronger than before. We must steel ourselves against the corrosive decay of life.

I don't want to picky or anything, but it feels as if some of these fail the nature of being an axiom

"An axiom or postulate is a premise or starting point of reasoning. As classically conceived, an axiom is a premise so evident as to be accepted as true without controversy" (Wikipedia)​

Some of these statements aren't so evident to me. Hmm.


EDIT: or it might be that I missunderstand some of them

Philosophical axioms are a bit less concise.
