I've always wanted to be an actress (yeah, I know, like many others....) But now I'm seriously thinking about attending an acting school. But do you think I'm already too "old" to have a chance at being a successful actress. Don't people usually start out very young?

First, I respect anyone's religion.

But I question, if there is God, why this supreme
being allows many of the wars, chaos, tragedy
take place day after day, year after year on this earth.

Why was no divine action taken against the kilking or slaying of children, infants, toddlers when it is said again and again that God is all
almighty, caring and loving, especially for childen
which are, as the scriptures say, like seeds that he had sowed on earth.

What evils have those children (who had died in
wars, human conflicts, natural disasters or the like) have done to deserve to be yanked from their childhood, infant-hood without being given
a chance to grow, mature and experience.

If there is such a god, why did he just stood by
to allow such to happen to all those innocent children killed or destroyed thro' out history?

Please don't say: "God moves in mystrious ways". This is too hollow.

I know a guy who does these really wild paintings, and they are composed well (to my eyes), but unlike famous abstract artists like Picasso, this guy can not ALSO draw or paint reality or illistrate at ALL, but he seems to have this amazing abilty to swirl patterns, drawing images out of what to me seems like cloud gazing. Is it possible to be respected as a painter/artist when you can't draw? It sort of seems like his imagery is "found" from random shapes. The whole thing about fine art versus illustration gets to me to. Sometimes I see what is supposed to be a piece of fine art, that is nothing more than an illustration on canvas, but you don't see cartoonists passing off every frame of their artwork as a piece of fine art, if they COULD do that, they would cut every frame out and trace it on a canvas.. Who says what is fine art? I think it's all BS sometimes, because the composition is judged subjectively.

Our director says he didnt mean kill him but wouldnt you expect the three knights to check and ask the King, "Hold it- Is that a rhetorical question or do you really want us to bump him off for you?"

I'd love to hear your recommendations for reading material over the weekend. I'm leaving town and planning to do not much other than bake a coupla pies and sit in the sun and read.

I like historical romance (no Harlequins, more Diana Gabaldon/Sara Donati stuff), sci fi, fantasy, am just finishing up Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy.

Any ideas?

In Buddism, it is said that every person, regardless of rank, "undergoes the 4 Pains of Life", namely: --

1. The pain of birth

2. The pain of getting old

3. The pain of illness in life

4. The pain of death

So, which of the above 4 pains you feel is the
worst ? Or, you would disagree and say there's
some other pain that is even worse!
