Yea, its the most used philosophical question out there, but im interested to see what people say it is to them. Im guessing the majority will say "happiness". Well, happiness isn't the pot 'o gold at the end of the rainbow, its not something someone can reach through a grand endeavor. Its not like you "find" happiness, then are content for the rest of your days. Then religion gets thrown in. But im open to anything you may think.
Peace.

I'm shadowing a wedding photographer for a while until I get comfortable to be on my own. I did my first wedding with him yesterday. I didn't get a chance to ask him all my questions and don't know when I'll talk to him next. In the meantime I'm doing research on lenses. I went the cheap route when I purchased my D50 last year and kept the 28-80 lens from my N65. I know I need a wider angle lense. My main concern at this point is a lense for low light. I have an SB-600 flash, but hate using it for "posed portraits." I get fine results with candid shots. When I do posed portraits I want more control. The photographer didn't always use his strobes. I asked him if it was because his lens was wider which allowed for slower shutter speed, he said "yes." Of course we didn't have time for a detailed lesson. I'm looking at the Sigma 10-20 and the Nikkor 18-200. Any other suggestions would be great. I'd like to get away with not having to use strobes or other lights if necessary.

that WERE of BLACK decent.
If you don't know, that's alright. Just, study American History and Heritage. Even though Bill Clinton is said to be the first Black President (in jest), it is not proven on paper as of yet. Who knows in joking, there might be some truth, but that would make him the 5or 6th. Thank you ahead of time for your answers. Why is this not taught in Public Schools?

This may be a good question for an English major. Critics with a low opinion of a movie or book will sometimes describe the plot as a "one-" or "two-" dimensional story. Sometimes, colleagues will critique another for their "one-" or "two-" dimensional understanding of a situation.

I understand these to be ways of saying "too simplistic". But is there a difference between the two descriptors?

I know for sure that many of us have asked the same quiestions like

why were we put on the earth

were is God truly

why do we do what we do

why do we have complete control over everything, and yet nothing

why is there the balance of good and evil

why do we act bad even though we want to do good, are we provoked?

I could go on with a million or more quiestions, but the fact is there are billions of people on the planet, the world kepps orbiting changeing dieing living, death an act of creation, and we have all thought this quiestion our exististance I'm sure of this but ofcourse there are feel good answers like God is within, but what I'm trying to get to is everyone and I mean Every single Human Being on this planet has asked these same quistions, dont you find that strange like were all united all our thoughts by some invisible thread, to think to be the last human on the plaet you'd go insane I would and I'm sure there people who agree.

Physicists have shown that the universe will eventually "die", probably through lack of heat and light millions of years in the future. What ultimately is the point of humanity if the universe will eventually die? If humanity still exists then, what would we do?

I know millions of students curse their teachers when assigned to read works of Shakespeare. The plays can be hard to comprehend and difficult to understand all of the metaphors, irony, and multiple meanings of phrases. I myself sometimes need to use Sparknotes to clarify a passage.

Did the common people who attended Shakespeares plays actually understand his way with words?

Okay so I suck at drawing characters, if I provide a good description can someone draw characters for me? or refer me to someone/where that can? I'd prefer someone with a little game background but anyone will do, so long as they can draw well.

Here is the poem. The title is "Winter":

Was to be such a beautiful view,
but with Winter on the way,
It was a barren wasteland.

Up in a tree,
so far the eyes can see.
My eyes saw the many, many trees,
with their leaves all fallen.

The grass has turned yellow,
not even the slightest speck of green.
Sounds are not welcome,
because the quiet is so serene.

The old country gates keep in the cattle,
but with winter so cold,
they will creak open if you give them a rattle.

The cold is nippy and bitter,
but there is a reason.
It is Winter,
such a astounding season.
