| Question: Did anyone else today get a weird feeling that something has changed? Posted: 25 Aug 2014 09:17 AM PDT Did anyone else today get a weird feeling that something has changed? Ever since i woke up this morning i have had this instinctive feeling that something has occured on a global level. I cant really say what it is that has happened and i really dont have a clue what it involves but theres just this weird sudden change in the air and i cant swing the feeling. Anyone else or is it just me? |

People do what they think they can in life and usually have justifications for it. One does not make an omlet without breaking a few eggs, and the successful have taken action which is not always pretty. But that does not make them bad and people whose cowardice or insecurity makes them toe the line to rules they don't even agree with do not automatically become saints. I've known plenty of petty theives in the homeless shelter. How come their "badness" doesn't equate to success? |
| Question: Does this analogy for success make sense? Posted: 25 Aug 2014 06:45 AM PDT I use my brain, invent a helicopter, and fly to the top, and get home for dinner. I'm not being obnoxious. I'm making a point. Analogies are dangerous when overused. Your success story fails to outline alternatives, good and bad. For example, there are many who give it their all, and still fail to summit. Perhaps a snowstorm (circumstance beyond their control), or not enough time (other passions). Maybe they chose the wrong path (like my helicopter), or they just didn't have the right stuff in the first place (not every hard worker will be a CEO of a major company). Some have their potential unlocked by accident, and others work at it their entire lives without ever realizing whether or not they actually have any (lot of "confident" novel writers out there). Analogies like yours misdirect people They make them think that if they just do "A", they will get "B". In life, that's not realistic. |
| Question: Describe some of the ways that the ancient Greeks began the study of religions? Posted: 25 Aug 2014 06:16 AM PDT TheGreeks are the polar opposite of the christian, Hindu,mohammeden religions. They are basically illogical, poetic minds and the Greeks mind are basically logical.,intellectuals |
| Question: Is life but a dream? Posted: 25 Aug 2014 06:13 AM PDT Life may well be a dream, no one knows what happens when we die. But think about this, have you ever had a dreamless sleep? Or been put under, knocked unconscious by a doctor or dentist? You awaken feeling as if no time had passed by. Imagine if death is like that, you die and there is no consciousness to witness time. Infinity could pass by in an instant, but within the time frame of infinity, something has to happen to where you are once again conscious, and you wake up. Maybe this has already happened, countless times and you just don't remember it, because it was eons ago. |
| Question: What is the greatest illusion in life? Posted: 25 Aug 2014 05:36 AM PDT Freedom. We are not free, even when we are rich, powerful, and seemingly independent: still we are not satisfied. Everybody seeks to be free: seeking freedom is the greatest disease of the mind. The psychologists, philosophers and religiously minded seek liberty from seeking freedom. In that approach, they continue to seek. There is no freedom, there is only seeking it. Always, freedom is something just around the corner, just out of reach. So the poor seek liberty from freedom and are still seeking; whilst the rich keep seeking to be free, even though they are so powerful. When man gets allot of money and acquires political or business power, and still there is the deeper feeling of being dependent (not free), man loses hope. Man then seeks release using drugs, or man becomes an enlightenment seeker, and the whole business of hoping to be free continues along another avenue. Man is alike a person dropped from the top of the atmosphere with no parachute: s/he falls, and s/he seeks diversion from the impending splat, but still s/he knows that s/he is falling no matter what s/he does. |
