I was always told "that is like asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, " if I asked an awkward question. Then I saw somewhere a compilation of these actual arguments. I always thought they were chimerical. But, yeah, people really addressed this isssue. Some of the arguments were astounding in the facility of language. Has anyone else seen these?

Does anyone know where I can find these books online to read?

I'm interested in finding out whether there is an online book of Olga Lengyel's, "Five Chimneys" or "A Woman in Berlin" by an anonymous author.

If anyone can direct me to where I can find these books online to read, that would be great. Otherwise I am going to have a hell of a time finding them in my little town.

Knowing my luck, they probably aren't available online at all.

Voice breaking?

This week, my sister was having trouble singing notes she normally hits with ease. Her voice started breaking. Why might this be happening? She's 18. Could being tired contribute to it? Thanks.

Is there a philosophy that is the opposite of nihilism?

Well in nihilism...you think the world is pointless. There are no morals or anything like that....I'm just curious if there is a philosophy, with a specific name, that is a counter to that belief.

What were they thinking when telling Ji-Li Jiang, what was wrong with her?

In school, we are reading the book, Red Scarf Girl by Ji-Li Jiang herself. I just don't understand what the Red Sucessors were excpecting when they told Ji-Li, all the things that were wrong with her. Were they excpecting her to change herself? Kill herself? Leave China? Or what?

That weird enlightened feeling?

Ok, so you ever just been lazing around, maybe looking at the sky.
Maybe even just looking at nothing in particular, thinking about things bigger than yourself, when, you get that feeling.

It's like a tingle in your brain. This fleeting sensation of
/everything/ coming together. It's as if for one slight moment, if there was such a thing as enlightenment or true epiphany or whatever, you'd just found it.

I don't know if anyone can really describe this feeling to it's fullest. I'm not even sure how many people have it, but it hurts a great deal to loose it. And it's as if we always do loose it, like we aren't big enough to keep it.

I had this feeling more as a child than I do today, particularly when thinking about the idea of other people. Just the thought that, y'know, are we alone in the world--and if we're not, how is it inside other people?

It's an awfully odd question, yes. But still.
Thanks if anyone's so inclined to answer.
