We no longer call the early Medieval era the "Dark Ages." That pejorative label was applied by those who unfairly held the period's artistic and cultural production to a standard the people did not hold for themselves. The shift illustrates the power of language and labeling. Can you think of any other instances when misapplied labels (in art or elsewhere) caused misperceptions? Explain.

The poems or songs don't have to be well know. I just need a poem or song about traveling. Or one that is about someones passion and how much they like to do it.

Or is Life (and any manifestation of associated “consciousness”) ultimately just as random and “meaningless” of a phenomenon, as far as the Universe is concerned, as the dynamics of inanimate objects?

I'm 20 years old and want to learn to dance. I'm horrible! it's embarassing. Has anyone here learned to dance at 19 years old or above, without knowing how to dance before then? If so , how did you do it? I just want to dance at the club without having to do anything special, but be comfortable while i dance with a lady.

Is nothing or something? I'm not sure if it is something or nothing. It might be something, because nothing is no-thing, and something is a thing. But, it might be nothing because nothing means no affect. I really would like your ideas. If you could explain why you think it that would also be wonderful.
