when someone keeps searching and fighting for something...but he doesnt get it...so he stops realizing that life is short and WHY BOTHER?

Who/What ever created us in this world obviously intended the species to propagate or else "it"/science/God wouldnt have made it feel good.

But I mean... whats the point when we will all die sometime anyway... and all that we learned about the world through-out our lives... our children... and our children's children will have to RElearn everything again anyway and some parts will be forgotten forever unless we document our knowledge.

Does the existance of the world have a finite purpose? Or is it too vague that nobody knows for sure and JUST LIVE FOR THE MOMENT sort of thing?

Like a TORCH RELAY during an Olympics but not knowing the person who passed you the torch and the person who youre going to pass the torch to. And also not knowing the final destination of the TORCH or let alone the purpose of the Torch Relay in the first place.

I hope you understand what i mean.

people talk over their iniquities and disappointments and mourn over them until they are overwhelmed with discouragement, shutting out the light from their soul and casting a shadow upon the pathway of others.

In a garden there was woman mourning and grieving. She was not walking in the pathway following the guide, but was walking among the briers and thorns. "Oh," she mourned, "is it not a pity that this beautiful garden is spoiled with thorns?" Then the guide said, "Let the thorns alone, for they will only wound you. Gather the roses, the lilies, and the pinks."

I have a new super compact super light camera, and it has only an LCD screen and no viewfinder. I used to find steadying the camera against my head steadied it for great pics, but with the lcd screen I have to hold it out infront of me, and for scenery shots, the slightest movement on my part ruins the detail of the scenery in the distance.
Any advice?

My honest opinion: they are both top in DSLR, lens range is excellent for both.

I own one system and if I want a lens for a job and cant find or hire one in the system I own I hire the lens and a body from the other system.

People seem to be aggressive(?) if someone says something that is fact but percieved as an attack on the other brand.

An example is Canon bodies; they have said that they have a 21mp DSLR it was "released" a week ago, can it be found? No. Is the spec above everything else in DSLR? Yes. Does it mean anything? Not till it can be used. Canon have had full frame for a while and nikon are about to do the same.

From those examples is it fair to say canon are ahead?

Does it matter? (i think not)

If I say those two things does that deserve riddicule because one brand appears to be ahead in two areas?

Why are some people emotionally attached to a "brand" isnt it just a matter of right tool for the job?

So some hornets nests, what do you say?

No one can save himself. Your implanted ego will always try to trick you into controlling the outcome of everything. Consider, therefore, that when things go wrong, it might have been the result of doing the right things for the wrong reasons.

How is it that in keeping the peace and trying to make someone happy you succeeded only in duplicating the tyranny of you own miserable childhood?

Experience should have already demonstrated that all your people-pleasing love falls short of the desired mark.

How much more suffering will it take to get you to understand all the implications of doing the right things for the wrong reason?

If we understand this we may be able to avoid the coming apocalypse !

What say you all ?
