but you, who do you think you are?

I am back from holidays. I spare you the guide of my reporters wonderful week in Hvar, but the first post after the holidays could not bypass all of my experience of the last 10 days. And that is why I find myself thinking about a topic that I felt much debate among my friends, that is: we judge what is frivolous? We distinguish a surface by a person who is not?
Needless to tell that whenever you approach the subject, I was catapulted into a pseudo-Platonic dialogue, where the most vied to give his definition.
The first step was to review all the things that are judged to be frivolous, as if the superficiality was a major attribute of a thing rather than another. The second one, perhaps more acute, but not all were able to follow, was to confer the status of "frivolous" depending on what motivates a person to a certain attitude or something. And inevitably the third step was to put the tragic examples of specific cases of people known ... We were wrong, in my opinion, if the real intent is to define something objectively.
Whether you're talking about cosmetic surgery, that's football, video games or fashion, television or politics, see people around me so sure of his ideas I was very surprised ... I was also really well until a few years ago, but life experiences have taught me to deal with much more humility my ideas, my thoughts ( wise is he who knows he does not know , said Socrates) and my opinions. Yes, even my opinions, because I was not ever agree with those who say it is wrong to judge ... And why? Kant said that the proceedings is the union of a predicate and a person using a copula . Rate it means, therefore, think, express their own ideas on something. What is wrong with that, I never understood. Not the opinion that scares me ... rather it is the sentence!
Anyway, back to the definition of what is frivolous ... the two major difficulties I seemed to detect in the discussion concerned the neutral or negative meaning of the "frivolous" and the classic short-circuit which fall all those who have little familiarity with the philosophy:) ... or the distinction of part of the whole. The fact that I am shallow in some areas of life, makes me a person completely frivolous, or a bad person? E 'can be superficial in some ways, but very profound for others?
... and you how are you? :)
