Because it is crystal clear to me that you have invented this idea of selflessness to protect yourself from the actual -- your selfishness. In any case, whether you believe in selflessness or not, you remain at all times selfish. Your so-called selflessness exists only in the future, tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, it is put off until the next day, or perhaps next life.
Look at it this way; it is like the horizon. Actually, there is no horizon. The more you move towards the horizon, the more it moves away. It is only the limitations of the eyes that creates the horizon. But there is no such thing as the horizon. Likewise, there is no such thing as selflessness at all. Man has tortured himself for generations with this idea of selflessness, and it has only afforded a living for those who sell the idea of selflessness for a living, like the priests and moralists.
I am not condemning anyone else, just pointing out the absurdity of what we are doing.

Ok, I love the show Bones, and I'm one of those people who will read the book that created the show. And I was just wondering if the series is good?

The popular obsession with Hitler is demonstrated by the wide range of books and articles published about him every year. Is Adolf Hitler being made a scapegoat for human nature? Does the obsession with him interfere with students ability to understand the darker side of society by puting the ills of the twentieth century on the shoulders of one man?

I've never liked or understood this concept since I was a kid. I'm still scared by it. Can someone explain to me how time can go on forever? I don't mean life on earth, I mean life after death. How can you spend millions and millions and millions...of years in one place? How does the universe go on forever? It must end somewhere right? Well then...where would your mind go. How can your thoughts just 'shut off?' Can you just stop thinking immediately?

Okay, I don't think I explained myself all that well, but if anyone could explain and express thier opinions the best they can, I'll appreciate it!!

I'm in the market for a medium format camera.
So far I have discovered the Holga w/a color flash and the Lomography Diana+

DOES ANYONE WITH MEDIUM FORMAT CAMERA EXPERIENCE HAVE A SUGGESTION AS TO WHICH ONE WOULD BE BEST FOR ME? (and if not these two, feel free to suggest a different camera)--AND CAN YOU COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE HOLGA AND DIANA FOR ME?


more details: I prefer a camera with a manual focus, and one that can easily be modified or has options for accessories (such as filters, etc.)



THANK YOU!!

We were talking in History about the fall of the Roman Empire, and somebody said that America seems to be in stages of decline, just like how Rome fell apart. Does anybody agree with this idea?

Is there like a key step or something at the very beginning of composition for music? Or a specific order to write the music (EG: melody first, accompaniment next?) or just anything that makes composition a little easier?
