{The answer is "yes"}


{I just wanted to take a brief moment to send my condolences to all of you out there that have lost someone close to you in the 9-11 attacks and still, you reamin strong to help a friend in need, Kudos to you all and thanks for letting my cry}

You Made Me Cry


In such a broken world
there is mending
But, only a few
that par take
to seal some hope
of the ending
Of terror that our
lives it takes

I haven't a clue
who you people are
but, still, I feel love
and wish well
On this sadest of days that
3000 were gone
6 years ago
Twin Towers fell

And yet you have time
for the unsure
A "no one" that's going
no where
You've made and take time
to comfort
A survivor with much
less dispair...

humans work in packs or community because a pecking order based on strength and dominance has been established. When our ape like ancestor gradually became more intelligent individual can rationally begin to question the power of the leader. Intelligence by it nature, questions authority by reason, and hence could be dangerous, dissipative force on that community. individual will leave the tribes, and that tribe would fall apar, and eventually individuals would die so, a selection pressure was place on intelligent apes to suspend reason and blindly obey the leader and his myth, since doing other wise would challange the tribes cohesion. survival favored the intelligent ape who could reason rationally about tools and food gathering but also favored the one who could suspend that reason when it threatened the tribe integrity. A mythology was needed to define and preserve the tribe. Religion was a powerful tool that "glue" and held together the tribe. Religion is a genetic disorder

Any suggestions? I wrote this after my brother passed away:

A cool autumn breeze stirs the leaves
I assume, of course, your voice
Whispering to me, assuring me that you are here
You speak of no pain
Your weightless soul passes me
A comforting sigh as the leaves rustle in the trees
I hear you my brother
Forever whispering of eternal beauty
and the power of whispering in the wind

Does it truly benefit the vengeful or is it unhealthier for them in the long run?

You always hear it never actually helps, but I'd really like to hear an answer from someone who has actually fulfilled their vengeance.

I'd also like to know if you think war, out of retaliation, is also pointless simply due to the above reason.

I was at a funeral last week and tried to lighten the mood at the graveside with a spot of robotics, but was asked to leave the graveyard by the ungrateful mourners. Whats wrong with these people?

In a few weeks I may very well be writing a short play for a professional theatre company to be performed in front of 400 people at a nearby theatre. I will be attending workshops for playwrights to devise a play with a disabled theme. The playwrights will have the opportunity to act!! That means, if I have the courage, I could very well be on stage acting at a local theatre!! I am going to voluteer. Some of the actors are disabled. I especially want to hear from other people involved in theatre or who have had some experience. I have written a few plays, but not acted in a professional theatre.
I will be so pleased to hear from you.

When I go to the South, I hear that the "War of Northern Aggression" was fought because the North wanted it's land back. When I hear about the Civil War from anyone else, I hear that it was fought over slavery.

Why do you think the Civil War was fought?

I just have a hard time believing that people in the North really cared that much about slavery. The average person might've been against it, but I seriously doubt many people would voluntarily fight and die to free the slaves.

I was at the Greenwich Observatory this weekend. And I was looking around at the space museum that they have. And I found it rather fascinating, but also realised how hopeless life really is.

The average person may live to see 70 years of age. What's 70 years in the vastness of the universe?! It's a joke! And when you think of units such as 'millions of light years', you start to realise how very little we actually know about how we got here, and exactly why we're on this planet.

What's the point of preserving a species and a planet, that must inevitably disintegrate. What's the point of life? And how can one derive some kind of meaning from such a hopeless and pointless task? because eventually everything will die...
