In life most of us come to forks in the road which will lead us off onto different paths, different destinations. Our perspectives on life are often forged before we come upon the forks. Still, being
intelligent creatures, we can reverse our tracks and take the path we instinctively know is right for us. Many don't. Instead, they settle on the path others expect them to take.

Here is Claire. One Claire has become more interested in how she looks and what people think of her. The other Claire is more interested in what she thinks and in what she thinks about herself.

This is for anyone who has read Plato's The Apology?

I just got dome reading it and it is very compelling and truthful but what I am wondering about is if Socrates is so down to earth and humble why did he say that he was God's gift to the people? And if he was not scared of death and did believe that he did nothing wrong why did he propose a fine that his friends would pay off for him? Im sorry if it is an ignorant question but I am new to philosophy and feel that the only way to know something is to ask questions. Thanks in advance for your comments.

My mother was a national champion competitor and instructor for ballroom dance?

She worked with Fred Astaire Dance for almost 20 years. This was in the 1970's-1990's. I want to locate some old footage of her and put on a dvd for her as a suprise. Anyone know where I might locate this without her knowing?

Do you think EQUALITY and JUSTICE is really compatible?

Let's say there are two guys. One needs to eat 2.5 kg of food per day.
Another guy needs 1 kg food only.
Now, let's consider a law which dictates absolute equality. And it implies--both of them will either be provided with 2.5 kg food or 1 kg food. What will happen? For the former case the second guy will have excess--and probably either the food will be wasted or the second guy will have the privilege to use it for the future--while the first guy won't have that privilege. For the later case, the first guy will starve.
