Now to the tricky part, or leap of faith if you like.<br /><br />My argument is that Well-being is connected to the concept of "Society". Needless to say, we are social beings, and our well-being is connected to our relation to the beings around us in one way or the other.<br /><br />Now for most of us society is something we are born into, and live and die in. However we can exist outside society, and several philosophers have spoken for the benefits of separating from society (e.g. Henry David Thoreau).<br /><br />So now we have this mind-map to move further down from:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gD2JYJ31q5M/Sfn-2ZjGhrI/AAAAAAAAAAM/fCjDk_N4s_A/s1600-h/1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gD2JYJ31q5M/Sfn-2ZjGhrI/AAAAAAAAAAM/fCjDk_N4s_A/s320/1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330571844494198450" border="0" /></a>Every post will be dealing with a node from the main theme of well-being. The "higher" up we are the more general the posts will be, mainly uncovering the next level on the branch. Then I will move down the branches, going into more and more obscure detail.<br /><br />Also I would love to get input on where to go, and of course comments in regards to what I am blogging about. This is where fuzzy logic sets in (and I will do my best to live up to its standards).<br /><br />Fuzzy logic implies that different notions of something need not be opposed to each other because very few things are a simple for or against.<br /><br />One simple example would be that for any given human entity, there are times were being outside society is well-being and other times where being part of society gives the greatest feeling of well-being. The point is that the two are not mutually exclusive, and may even coexist in one person simultaneously.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7292455790253262791-1748656969851600945?l=imperativewell-being.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Beinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09090912528822977413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292455790253262791.post-40537130632842336772009-04-29T13:01:00.000-07:002009-04-29T13:02:05.654-07:00From this point on every post in this blog will be related to well-being in one way or another.<br /><br />Using fuzzy logic we will wander down different paths to discover where well-being is to be found qua its interconnectedness with the human condition.<br /><br />Everything will be plotted in onto one grand mind-map that will hopefully grow large and long-haired.<br /><br />So lets roll!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7292455790253262791-4053713063284233677?l=imperativewell-being.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Beinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09090912528822977413noreply@blogger.com0
