What is it about these stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe that has made these stories classics (beyond the fact that they were written in the 18th century).

Stories in question:
The Raven.
The Fall of the House of Usher.
Murder in the Rue Mourge.
The Tell Tale Heart

I have always loved the poem The Raven but I was wondering why do others like them and what has set them apart from other stories?

I thank you in advance for your insight?

A few nights ago, I had an enlightenment. While pondering why I was on this planet, I realized that I am but just part of something bigger. When people look for the meaning of life as individuals, they come to a dead end since no matter what you do with your life, you will eventually die; making everything you do seem futile. Thus, inorder to find meaning, we have to see ourselves as a part of a whole. If we make a change in society today, our actions will influence countless generations in the future, thus making us in a way immortal. As long as humanity exist, we as individuals will exist through our influence on furture generations.

What do you think? Does this make sense, or am I full of crap?

When I read objectivism or talk with objectivists, I find no holes whatsoever in the philosophy. But, I have yet to find a well-versed objectivist that isn't arrogant and shaming towards any view that isn't completely objectivist, online or in person. It's like conversing with a fundamentalist Christian, except that the objectivist uses flawless logic. Has this been anyone else's experience? Do I need to chat with more objectivists to sample a larger group of them?

I'm wondering if it may have been Freud, but I can't find much to support this aside from his "death instinct", which by the descriptions I've found doesn't seem to be the same.

how can you truly know if someone exists with out any type of human measurement. you can actualy prove that they are thinking minds. you can only know that you are. "i think therefore i am". so is it possible that you are the only one who exists? and everything else is just some craxy illusion created either by you or a greater creator??

if you dont beleive this then how do you know that your beleif is right?

My son told me the other day after coming home from school that he didn't want to be called "white" anymore. I asked him why, and he said it was because "white" people have done so many bad things since coming to America that he didn't want to be associated with them. (our family came to America in the early 1900's i.e. we didn't partake in slavery) He said he told his teacher we were "caucasion" and she said it was the same thing. He was very upset. As we are Italian and Austrian (not from down under), I think we could be considered "caucasion". Is that the case or am I just grasping for straws for him?
