A blog was saying, they go by how many copies of a book the bookstore orders. Not by how many they sell.

They can order 1,000 copies of a book, return 900, but the book still counts as a 1,000.

The best sellers all seem to be the same authors, every summer.

The cost of making the world a utopia is to allow a nine year old child to suffer excruciating pain constantly. Would you be willing to allow this child to suffer so the world can be a utopia? Could you do it if it were your own child that had to suffer in order for the world to become a utopia?

Falling Stars
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Do you remember still the falling stars
that like swift horses through the heavens raced
and suddenly leaped across the hurdles
of our wishes--do you recall? And we
did make so many! For there were countless numbers
of stars: each time we looked above we were
astounded by the swiftness of their daring play,
while in our hearts we felt safe and secure
watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate,
knowing somehow we had survived their fall.

Thanks.

I want to be a writer and would like as much encouragement as a can get. I'd also like to encourage others and discuss the joys and difficulties of the writer's craft. There aren't any writer's groups in my area and I wouldn't have enough time to attend as I might like to anyway. Does anyone know of any very good writers groups online? Also, is such a thing as being too old to start writing fiction, etc. Thanks.

Either the cosmos have always existed or the cosmos had a beginning. If they have always existed the problem is that energy decreases and that if the universe were here for an eternity we would see it dying.

If the cosmos had a beginning, then how did "something" (cosmos) come from "nothing" ( pre-beginning).
