I think the answer is there is none. I know that if that did happen to be the answer, which is a distinct possibility, we would just make up a reason why our lives were important anyway. If God didn't exist, we would make Him up anyway to make ourselves feel better. What is the divine purpose of a bacteria colony? There is none. And I don't think there is one for us either. In the end we are just extremely complex bacteria and our intelligence forces us to contrive a purpose for our lives when there is none.

If you have your brother or your sister, or if you have your mother and your father, you LISTEN TO ME. Do not fight with them, do not call them names. Let them be right and hug them and kiss them and tell them that you love them, do everything you can to make them feel happy and appreciated. Whatever you think you're mad about believe me it is not important; one day they will be gone forever and you'll realize whatever you were mad about was NEVER important. Please listen to me.

Why was the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the policies of the new Soviet government so inspiring to the Asian revolutionaries during the 1920s and 1930s? what did the Soviet Union hope to gain by supporting anti-colonial movements? What did nationalists like Ho Ch Minh and Mao Zedong hope to gain by supporting the Soviets?

Many people through out time have and still do ask the question: "What is the meaning of life?" Perhaps I am wrong, but when this question is asked I assume that the individual means is there a meaning, reason, or purpose to justify all life. If this is what people mean, my question is do you believe there can be one meaning, purpose, or reason that justifies all lives? Do you believe that there are several meanings, purposes, or reasons that justify all lives? Or do you believe that there are no reasons, meanings, or purposes that can justify all lives and that there can only exist meanings, purposes, and reasons that can apply to individual's lives, not all?

I am too sensitive. I have become better at my poker face, but it's not me. I don't let people in or I hurt others so that they don't hurt me. I never get over my sensitivity. I can only mask it. People don't like my sensitivity so what can I do with myself. I can change my perspective. If I change the way I interpret things then my sensitivity will go away?

I've asked this before and I got some interesting answers. Now I would like more people to answer if they want to. I guess you could say that what other people were thinking put a smile on my face because they confided into a complete stranger (me) and I don't know how this benefits anyone but it's interesting. Here is my actual prompt for anyone who'll take it: Just type on the computer about anything. Yes, anything you can think of even if it means nothing to this world. I once wrote about how I liked the way Bogart (Rick) in Casablanca picked up a wine glass without hardly acknowledging it to how I think that we should have machines that listen to our thoughts and we cold just have the machine type out every thought that we want whenever we want so that we could remember our brilliant thought later. (Makes no sense right?) I would like to know other peoples weird and completely non-sensical thoughts. You don't have to be articulate or try to impress anyone. Just be you, type away!

I am using Kodak Tmax 100 film for a depth of field project. For example when I set the aperture at widest opening 3.5 for my lens, in manual mode the scale blinks at the 2+ meaning I should increase exposure two stops so i adjust my shutter speed to the next higher speed. Is this right? In aperture priority mode the shutter speed sometimes reaches 1500 sec. I am confused but at the same time I want to learn.

And furthermore...does anyone care? 5 stars, these days can mean so many different things.

The Hd experience, as well as the shrimp net of intelligence ...and then the counter of same being dropped 3 fold on unsuspecting 'all american girls' can, in reality, cause the 'all american' part to play shadow to the UGLY reality of what living under the scope can FOR REAL do to a girl.

When will it be enough? And furthermore...hasn't anyone taken into consideration that the monkey reactions are based on LOVE rather than on rationale logic based assessments?

Or is that the twist integrated with the intention of causing the monkey to fail?

disclaimer: no snide, dull tool remarks please. you either get this line of thought or you don't. Only getters are requested to reply.
