God knows all about humankind but humankind does not know about itself. If left to live forever the human race will start creating human and try to be God. human is so bad and this is not all, as human lives longer on the earth it starts to destroy it. No amount of warnings will make it change. We go through bad times and we simply forget it when it is over. We have become so cold and so harrd at heart. We have eyes but we simply can't see. We know the truth but we don't say it. My heart is so broken. Why do I feel so much for others? Why don't I join in with others to put others down but people try to put me down always.Why can't people just love each other, and live peacefully side by side. Why does the colour of skin matters so much to people when in fact disease, death calamity does not discriminate it just happens to all and all can suffer the same fate. There is no superiority after all the only superior power is God.where will you run to when the time finally arrives?

If you smile today, you’ll tear up tomorrow. If you think today. You’ll smile tomorrow. Life.eh. life. What’s the point? Perspective. Life. Eh life. Its just a word we use to describe the most important thing. Eh life. Life. Its just a way to pretend like we understand it. We use the word a lot but then again we don’t know what it means. What does it mean to be living? To be alive? Or To live life?. See. The irony. Life. While. It has. No .meaning. it has no. unmeaning. If I make sense. Perhaps that’s the beauty of it all. Smile while you can. Dream while you may. Cry when you must. And Die when it’s the last resort. Perhaps this is why its life. Its lifeless yet subtly noticeable. Its so tiny yet, dreadfully long. Perhaps this inquiry about life is just a mere reminscince of my sophomore year. A year of tragedy, happiness, grief, hurt, but above all learning. Learning about this four lettered word that means nothing, and yet everything.

He was'nt around during the time of Christ therefor the LAST SUPPER is his interpritation of what happened at The Last Supper.It's not like Davinci was there painting the Last Supper while it was transpiring

Now theres "The DaVinci Code" and this new story about mirroring the image of the Last Supper which will show one guy allegedly holding a baby.

Am I missing something here or did DaVinci somehow acquire inside information on Jesus?

I do believe in god but I am not one who bashes others for their beliefs or who is looking to find fault. I am just curious

I ask this in philosophy because I want a non-dogmatic answer. I'm thinking 5000 years in the future, time travel is childs play, we go back and create ourselves. Maybe we were peaceful and harmonious but as boring as plants so in our future boredom we realized that we needed struggle to deepen our character and make our lives interesting so we went back and threw in a monkey wrench so to speak? no pun intended. Of course it disputes the Buddhist axiom: "Nothing creates itself" but if the dragon is chasing his own tail then it would make sense. We have no beginning and no end. The same could be for the universe, It created itself
when all matter combined into a body so large that its gravity caused it to implode, maybe into a negative universe. I'm sure there are theories similar to this but I am reinventing this wheel just for fun.

Success Is Counted Sweetest
Poem lyrics of Success Is Counted Sweetest by Emily Dickinson.
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated-dying
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!

Hope” is the thing with feathers—
BY EMILY DICKINSON

“Hope” is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird—
That kept so many warm—

I’ve heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Woe with those
who take for granted
The funny bone
That each posesses
Do you laugh hard
often and long
Or do you report
anyone having fun
do you drop the dime
call the fuzz
file a report
just so our good time
you get to abort
Who made you do it
Jesse or Stan
Why such outrage
from what you don't understand.
What sets you off
What gets you seething
Is it a question like this
that got me deleted?

Deleted Question: What do I need to breed mosquitoes, and how many does it take to drain all of an average adult's blood?

Heh-heh-heh... Stupid Baby shall rise again Y!Putos.

Everyone says to get an agent but how exactly does that process work? I know you shouldn't pay anything until you've made money on a job by that agent and then they get about 10%. How do you "submit" yourself to be represented? How to agents decide? Is there an audition or do they just take as many as they can so their actor gets cast? I'm interested in Los Angeles agents and I already know about books on agents I just want you to tell me don't suggest other places to find answers. The most information gets Best Answer!!!

Skepticism is the idea that everything we know and observe is fundamentally wrong. And can never be FULLY proven.
Regress SKepticism is the product of questioning the questions, and questioning those questions, ect.
Meaning nothing can be known with any certainty.
Also known as Solipsism in philosophy.
