Okay, I've been pondering lately what the meaning of life is. The way I see it, it's been aboot survival for the fittest for millions of years. We live, no one knows why we were born, and we come up with our own motives as to why we continue living despite the troubles. We try to improve as much as we can, some more driven than others. We create bonds with people and our lives intertwine to a certain degree, our actions affecting them. We create our own mission(s), our own goal or goals, and work to achieve it (them). We try to survive and accomplish as much as possible. Some are strong and handle the adversity, adapting like homosapien, and some can't handle it, case and point being neanderthal. Someday, if we don't destroy the planet from pollution, there will be a new species on top of the food chain, like us. What do you think, what do you feel the meaning is?

Thers are two harlenquin books I read awhile ago.. and I was wondering if anyone else has read them or knows what they are titled? I would love to read them again. One is about a girl who is in a hospital recovering from amnesia and finds out shes married but left her husband (and doens't remember why), and has triplet babies with him. And another is a girl who wakes up pregnant and alone with amnesia, and this guy helps her out (her ex but she doesn't know that), and it's his baby (but according to miscalculations is impossible so he doesn't know that) and she is a triplet and ran away after her sister died?
Sorry details are so slim it's been years!! Thanks!

okay, so I'm 13, in seventh grade, and i am auditioning for dinner theater [ a show made up of broadway/movie songs like wicked, rent, fame, high school ,musical, grease etc.] So, I was thinking for my audition that I would do the song The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. I know, its weird to pick it especially me being a guy. But i think it would show the notes I can reach, even though I don't sound like her. It's a guy version of her song basically. So I was wondering if this would be a good idea, and if not, then tell me some songs that would benefit me. thanks for reading.

Like if privacy is remove then there is no meaning to freedom. every body has right to freedom no body is entitled to enter any body personal life. Like if we talk about celebrities or big personalities, who make them celebrities definately public but on which groud definately good performance in their work not on there personal life performance.
Please suggest to me some more good point on this basis
I would greatfull to you in future.

I wrote this after a painful divorce years ago and the loss of my innocent upbringing. Just thought I'd share.

The flower sprouts, it seems so shy.
The leaves expand underneath the light.
A new life born for future despair,
But no one claimed that life was fair.
A flower of innocence knows no fear
But then, there is no innocence here.
The flower withers, it's substance dries,
It bows it's head and quietly dies.

When finding audition music, most of what I find in sheet music is either the vocal selections or piano selections. I was just wondering which is the better choice for an audition, as noone I know can tell me that answer. Thanks!

Now, I perceive the tree of knowledge of good and evil as the mind that is divided, the polarities of mind being within their own facilities for growth. I see the serpent as the impulse for development. The problem is that division is seen as death or evil from a scriptural perspective, but it is a necessary thing in order to become complete in all ways. The fact that only when the tree of this duality was eaten was Adam/Eve whom are these polarities (They covered themselves, the areas which physically identify our sexes or forces, active/reflective), could have the possibility to eat from the Tree of life. Because it was a process by which the mind could become complete. Therefore the Tree of good and evil is the lesser incomplete state of the tree of life that is complete mind/Christ mind, one of death/division the other of life/harmony.

I see being driven out of "Eden" an sign that this process towards the minds development being active, out of the pre-evolved state/origin.
