Basically, I just want to find out if an abundance of money makes a persons life easier? I'm not choosing the word happiness because some high rated study recently proved that money does not bring happiness, but the study did not prove nor look for the possibility of making life easier. Now by easier I mean staying alive. Meaning not be dead. Now the situation I chose was a rather simple one. A middle class person passed out and was rushed to the hospital. He was told that he needs a new heart. The hospital says there is one available with same blood type and dimensions. However, his insurance will only pay for a portion of it. The rest he needs to come up with. Lets say it is 50,000 dollars. Lets say he does not have the money. He doesn't get a heart and dies. Now lets say, the same situation occurs, but with a person who does have 50,000 dollars. The man gives the hospital 50,000 and the person gets their heart and lives. Does the person with 50,000 make him better than the other?

This website takes old pictures and puts random captions on them. I was wondering what this picture:

was originally from (a science magazine or something, maybe?). Anyone have an idea?

Well I will show my ignorance here but here it goes. My father fought during WWII in the pacific. I wasn't born till almost 20 years later 1960. Dad died 20 years ago and I never did ask him any of these questions. And he never really spoke too much of his time there. Here is what I do know, He was a medic in the army, he was about 5 years older than most the other guys who where fighting there, he was 23 when he went in, most the others were 18-19 they called him pop. He faught in The Phillippean and New Gueane. My question is, is there anyway I can get more details about him, like what was the number of the (hear where I will show my ignorance) plattoon or battalean or whatever it is or is called, What battles he fought in, what medals he earned if any. My mom says he had medals but she doesn't know what happened to any of them or to his uniform. Said it just never occured to her to save any of it! By the way I still have my mom, she is 87. She however doesn't remember

I find it troubling that he routinely questions the value of the " average " persons life , while never tiring of stressing how important and interesting the lives of him and his family are .

"The embryonic and fetal stages of human development are the most peaceful times of our lives. We know nothing. We simply exist, without control, completely dependent upon outside forces for our very survival. We quietly accept our delicate situation and continue to develop, entirely unknowing of whether or not we will survive until our mother’s next meal or until we have lived for one hundred years. We innately recognize our vulnerability, and we exist solely in the moment. The moment we are conceived, we master Zen."

What are your thoughts?

...'by definition' means defining logic as that which is consistent.
...as a 'law' means logic has been consistent all along, but one doesn't know why.

I feel like anyone I meet at school or whereever I'll never see again in a few years. So I feel no connection, no point. If I go through life and don't affect anyone's life, what am I in the existance of the world? I'll just always have my own thoughts and ideas, but it'll never be worth anything if it only affects me. I feel like if I don't somehow contribute to society, I'm failing the world as a living thing. Which I guess I have been doing most my life. I've always felt like I personally need to do something that will affect the world, but on the contrary, I hardly participate in life at all. But even if I would do normal social things, etc., I feel like it's not going to affect anything. I just want things to be better, but it's out of reach.

on a slr camera you look inside and it tells the aperture number. if the line is right in the middle of the signs - or + does that tell you that is the right number for the shutter too and that the picture is going to come out good?

He has always liked to draw, though likes to copy pictures (mainly cartoon types e.g pokemon). His precision is great and in proportion. He also has excellent imagination and so we are encouraging him to create his own characters. Is there a way we can get a professional opinion on his potential
