Living with Solipsism

[Will1125]

Even if we realised Solipsism is true, what does it really change ? 

We have to deal with reality, deal with peoples around us, deal with life anyways. 

A strong spirituality includes important moral values such as sharing and loving others. Solipsism does not necessarily mean that one must be selfish, but thinking that others are only a projection and do not have a form of reality as powerful as ours creates a separation with the other. I think that solipsism is quite vain when it leads us to think that the other does not have a form of reality equal to ours but it can be interesting when we realize that we have all power in this life and overcome the fear of failure and do what we want to do.

I think the most important thing is to use love wisely and to value everything that exists. To love others it is important to accept others at the same level as we accept ourselves. (because the other and us = the same thing)

I often come to think that it is very probable that solispsim is true but I do not want this notion to deteriorate the relationship I have with the outside world, even if the other is only a projection of my spirit, my spirit remains the fundamental reality of my being and I must adore it as much as anything.

This is also why I think we can learn the most from solipsism by realizing that our mind is what is most important and therefore everything that is a derivative of this mind deserves love. and infinite respect. So as God we must create the world that most closely aligns with what we would like to do with it.

I think that solipsism induces a lot of responsibility, namely the creation of reality itself (the highest responsibility) and that is why this philosophy can be misinterpreted because of its very great power.

Your opinions?

Solipsism is kind of true, but you probably misunderstand it. It suffers the same fate as nihilism a few years/decades back.

If in doubt, just act as if everyone is real. If solipsism leads you to treat everyone like an empty shell it has become falsehood. Solipsism = Love. Else it can't be true.

Love is completely empty and is completely full. But you can only experience the fullness when you realize you are empty.

Solipsism is true in the sense that others are within your human psyche. If you didn't have a human psyche, there would be no "others." If you were, for example, a jellyfish floating in the middle of the ocean, you wouldn't know anything about anyone else. In the total reality without form, the others are not there. The others are in the reality of the human psyche. are real? yes, within the human psyche. Without the human psyche, there are no others. But you are not alone neither, because there is not a you

Thats an assumption. Maybe you are right, but maybe strong spirituality does not speak about morality?

This. You nailed it here imho. 

When it clicks it removes separation, not creates it.

As Leo said "We are alone because we are so together" or sth like that.
