Did you ever wonder what would 'you' be doing if you were never born?

If you werent born a human and instead a... cat? dog?

Its hard to ask this because I dont know how to phrase it...

Why are you, you? Why aren't you your friend? Who is what? What is what?

Hmm

Does anyone know a book that could maybe make me stronger in spirit, mind and basically have a more positive outlook on life.
I've read zen type books that have helped me focus more in school, has anyone read a book that has influenced your life in a positive way.

Which person in history would you like to read more about? About whom would you like to see more and varied biographies?

I'd be rather interested to find out more about the Swordsman of Calais who decapitated Anne Boleyn. Also, Napoleon Bonaparte's son, the little King of Rome. And many more...

BENAZIR ; TEARS FOR A PLUCKED ROSE.


She was a rose,
Among thorns, of extremes,
Opressed womanhood,
Oppressed downtrodden,
She was courageous,
Even death which
She recieved courageously,
Perhaps courage
Was her second name,
She led a population,
In faith of developing it,
Tears rolled on cheeks,
At her assassination,
On many faces, uncontrolled
Grief stricken, she became
A matryr in a few days time,
On landing in her homeland,
What would have the earth
Felt where the tears fell,
Though a lot more blood
Was shed, we have nothing
But tears for a rose plucked
Before being withered by time.

Once we have left the theistic world and no longer look to the heavens to dictate morality, it seems we encounter a rather complex problem.
From an Existentialist point of view, in which life has no inherent meaning and where we have no proof of any higher creator, we are free to do as we wish.
In this world it seems that individuals create a subjective framework, a personal ethos, whereby they assign morality and value to whatever actions they wish.
We choose which value systems to follow, but even this choice is not is entirely free, our values will always be affected by our society and place in time.
Any choice we make will be without universal foundation and will only be as viable as the people and societies who create them. These values and morality will be short lived and constantly changing.
In the end, there can be no true morality, the morality that we fabricate, our ethos, is only a reflection of personal preference relative to our society and time.
