It was Sunday, Father’s day,
and I didn’t want to be there, cutting wood
in the middle of June. I argued,
as well as a 12 year old
boy can argue with his father,
but my words were deftly quelled,
and there I was in the back
of a pick up truck on a Sunday morning
with a cooler
full of lunch
and an old gray box full
of chains and chain oil and I
remember
the smell of that old gray box,
the smell of power
it had, the power to help a neighbor
and the power to heat a home
and I remember thinking that it was somehow
important to my father
to be here so I embraced it
and I watched everything and
I learned.
The world became ours,
my world, my father’s
world,
we owned it,
we were in charge, we
made the rules, and we
worked together and everyone
I saw that day was in our
World
and I watched them,
knowing my father would dictate
what was to be done
and how to do it and
I was his helper and he instructed them
and assured them and nothing, nothing,
nothing could go wrong or happen to me
when I was in that world.
So we dropped
that huge elm
that grew too close to the barn,
and the rope held true
and the tree fell true
and there was cheering and I was proud
and my father held me
and laughed and we cut that old tree to pieces
and the chainsaw roared and the sawdust flew and
that smell
was the greatest smell on earth,
the power of it overwhelmed us
and my father and I ruled the world on that day with our
ropes and our chains
and oils and cooler
full of lunch
and I remember
thinking how happy I was
because I spent father’s day alone
with my dad
and nobody else
existed in that world
that we had created.
And months later, when
the high pitched whine of burning elm
filled the living room
my father
said “That’s that tree we dropped
at Clymer’s place, remember that David?”
And I said yes, I remembered.

Mankind is at the super stage of achievement. Sience is going to Mars.
Still people in the earth sterving, So many deseases got no answere. More than half of the population passing hand to mouth life. World leaders are roaring each other. Giants are grabing the smalls . Why we can not think about a peaceful,healty and wealthy life for the world. Who should come forward first?

I'm a bright guy and I know quite a bit, but I'm always trying to learn absolutely everything I can and it is so frustrating because I know I can't. I want to know so much, but the more I learn the more I realize how much more (even more) there is to learn. I will never ever stop learning, but here is one thing I need to learn: how can I learn to accept the best I can do?

I've never really heard one. I'm not sure if anything can truly undermine Peter Singer's concept of 'speciesism'. Since we're in the philosophy section and all, try to give me a philosophical reason. Rather than pointing out the existence of meatball marinaras from Subway, 'cause I know they exist already! Believe me, if anyone convinces me to eat meat I'll go get one right away.

i need some verification, are kants analogies, especially the 3rd analogy referring to how objects have permanent existence even when we're not perceiving them? (opposed to berkeley who thinks objects disappear when we arent perceiving them)

My daughter does pageants and I really like the way the composites are being done. I'd like to learn to do these myself to help save some money.
