Other species have become extinct. Why not ours? Even though are minds have grown, the way people seem to process the information doesn't seem to click just right. Even though way long from now. The sun will become a condense star and the earth will be sucked in. Do we have what it takes to make it long enough to progress to that level of travel. Yes we are rapidly multiplying(also to say over population detroys) We are also rapidly dying. All seeming to be stuck in a time that hasnt happend or has already gone, skipping the moment. There for not really progressing anywhere. What is in store for are future. Will negative and positive ever balance itself out in order to help us? Will the need to belong override most, sticking themselves in a society that has formed a restraint on personal freedom and exspression? Or will eventually people gain control of themselves and life and become the wiser?

During my time in the philosophy section of yahoo answers, I noticed theres two main groups, the highly religious and the anti relgious (yes, I realize there are people in between those two groups. In fact, I am one of those people). In alot of the philosophy questions, the theists and atheists almost never agree, since the theists always turn to their holy book and the athiests to science.

It got me thinking, is there one thought in the world that everyone shares? Like, I would expect people would all want peace, but there are plenty of warheads and organizations that benefit from war that want war.

And then you would think everyone would want to eat or breathe, but people hang themselves and are anorexic and bulemic.

Then you think that maybe people just all wanna live. But theres plenty of suicidal people. I myself can almost be considered suicidal.

So is there one goal we all have? Or one thought we all share?

...tell you to quit your job and wait at home for him to bring you money. Keeping in mind that you have no doubt that the voice is God. Would you do it? How many months would you get behind in rent before you called it quits?

If you don't see auras, how do you imagine it would appear as a person leaves his body and the body dies? Do you suppose there are noticable changes in the aura days beforehand?

ok, my friends is white, and i am black, and I really dont want to go to a black college because I think that they stand standards really low for their students, and since I have not been in an entirely black school for a while, I hate that idea. Am I being racist?

On the off chance that you are not already happy, or may have moved on past happiness to something else, I ask you all...

When will you be happy?

What events great or small must occur for you to achieve happiness? Who must appear or disappear to make you smile? How much or how little will it take to give you what you want or need?

Here is your chance to put your wishes out there in the universe and see if they will come back to you as facts.

What does it take...?

The Blind Man and the Elephant
It was six men of Indostan
Who went to see the Elephant~(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation~Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall against his broad and sturdy side
"God bless me! but the Elephant ~ Is very like a wall!"
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
This Elephant ~ Is very like a spear!"
The Third approached the animal,
taking the trunk within his hands, and said
"The Elephant ~ Is very like a snake!"
The Fourth reached out a hand, and felt about the knee.
"'The Elephant ~ Is very like a tree!"
The Fifth touched the elephant.
This Elephant ~ Is very like a fan!"
The Sixth seizing on the tail ~ said, "Its very like a rope!

This story is supposed to teach us that truth is not abslolute and only a matter of perspective.
Problem- If the story is an abslolute truth, it openly refutes itself. If it is not absolute truth, then nothing of the story can be trusted.
Agree?
