So why is it that we are always attracted to what we cannot have? Is it true? Is the grass really greener on the other side? Why is it human nature to lust after the unattainable? Is it the thrill of the chase? The prospect of something new? Its sick and twisted, ridiculous and idiotic yet continuously we crave the fulfillment of what is just beyond reach. Why do we toss and turn at night unable to sleep because our minds are filled with thoughts and plots of achieving the unachievable? Must it always be this way, always end this way?

I just did and it's been so long since I've seen it. It's great.

I read the book before watching it and i was really disappointed. I had expected it to be as grand as the lord of the rings or better but it turned up worst than i had hoped for. What do you think? Is it better if you hadn't read the book yet?

Sometimes it just seems like the two go hand in hand.

(Notice, please, I said sometimes...not always).

I have read the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita_Vedanta

If I am understanding this properly; the main philosophical difference is in the concept of how maya is created. In Buddhism it is though the process of dependent origination and attachment that maya is created. In Advaita Vedanta; maya is a direct consequence of emanation from Brahman. Is this correct?

Can someone with a deep grounding in these studies please help me, or refer me to a source?

Thank You.

This time of year always feels a little melancholy... Why do you think that is? Is it the commercialism which stifles the real meaning of the holiday? Is it the buildup (and inevitable letdown) of the holiday? Is it because it's the end of the year & causes you to reflect on your life? Is it because unless your life looks like a Hallmark card it feels like you don't measure up...? Is it seasonal affective disorder? Is it the sense of isolation and loneliness that you feel even when surrounded by friends & family? Is it the stress of shopping, spending money you can't afford on gifts that they may not want, planning, preparing, the hustle & bustle that takes the fun out of it because you can't relax & enjoy it? Crowded malls and overplayed Christmas songs? Difficult relatives? Missing loved ones who are gone?

What happened to Christmas? Remember when it was magical? Is it because we grew up...?

Is it because I have to work Christmas day?!

Merry Christmas, anyway!

i'm gonna write an article under under the general topic "The Power of Natural Resources".
this is my syllabus:
1.the usage/function of natural resources and its impact on the world.
2. natural resources are becoming more and more scarce.
3.how to protect natural resources and maximize their utility.(this is the main part)
after reading my syllabus, my classmates told me that it is out of focus since the theme is "the power of natural resources", whose focus/gravity is "power". So focusing on reserving natural resources and maximizing their usage is not to the point.
what's your idea? how do you think should i compose this article?
thank you in advance.
