Why isn't there one approach to life, one philosophy, that no one can argue with, that everyone agrees on?

Question

There are mystical philosophies to life, materialistic philosophies, dogmatic religious philosophies, hedonistic philosophies, achievement-oriented philosophies, practical philosophies, idealistic philosophies...and all of them have their critics, all of them have people who say "that approach to life is wrong because......." People who say "you have to choose your own path in life, the one that feels right to you" don't help either because, who am I to know what the right path is? Who am I to say "this is why I'm here, this is what I'm supposed to do/be/have while I'm alive"? NO ONE can know for sure if they're right, NO ONE. Anyone can ask on their deathbed "what if my whole life has been wrong?" Why even choose if there's no way to know if you're going to be right, or even if there IS a right way? Anyone else ever struggle with these questions? Anyone ever gotten past them to where the questions didn't bother them anymore?

Answer 1

Because personality always weighs in to fight for an alternative which better suits the individual who envisages a better life for himself.

Answer 2

If you are on your death bed still contemplating if you've lived life wrong? you have... No matter what religion or belief or philosophy you live by most of us can agree on one thing... we want tobe happy!  some people are happiest when they suffer, success scares them. Find or Live the way that makes you happy and when you die..cause you will.. what will you  regret? you were too happy?

Answer 3

Okay...

There is no wrong way to live. Period. God helps us along our journey to Heaven. So don't worry.

Answer 4

If there was one approach to life, and we all agreed on it, then we would all be robots.

The path through life is different for everyone and changes as we go through life.  What is important to us at 18 is not the same for us at 40, 50, or older.  We learn to adapt to the changes in our life and follow the path that is best us at the time.

Don't become rigid, enjoy the journey these paths take you, and don't be afraid to change.

Answer 5

Pfft. Questions. I stopped asking a long time ago, because it...doesn't...matter. You're here for a finite period of time. If there were just one "philosophy", it's be awful boring. Right or wrong, the path you take is the path you take. You won't know it's wrong until YOU think it's wrong...then you have to fix it. Why even try? If you don't try, you'll go through life wondering, "What if...".

Answer 6

Because everyone has a different perspective from which they view life.  Their individual perspectives lead them to draw different conclusions about life and to develop different ways of coping with life's uncertainties.

Answer 7

The very day that everyone agrees on one single approach to live, one philosophy is the day that humanity ceases to exist.

Answer 8

Because everyone has their own, individual, tailored opinion, down to last tiniest detail. That's also why world peace can never exist.
