What I mean is that you are put on this earth to do something great that would change the world we know so that people start believing in themselves and have hope so they don't have to fear going out their door everyday.

if You believe one person's truth doesn't that make you his sheep? If truth is relative why should I believe your facts, they are also relative. Why should anyone believe anyone even if they have facts? Their facts may be wrong and in believing them that would make me a brainless sheep. In any area of life no matter what it may be- religious, education, politics, history, math, science. One needs to make their own judgements not just believe in one person's, or a group's fact's and truth's.

This is just a general question, so please don't label me because you don't know me, also don't be rude

If I have an idea or image of a person---whether that idea or image is true or not---isn't that idea or image all I'm seeing of him/her?

I guess a deeper question would be: Is it possible for a person to really see the essence of another person? Or can the heart see what the mind doesn't see?
Thanks.

Math is something that is created by human as a tool to describe our nature. All theoretical physics and even computational algorithms originate from some form of mathematical formulation. Where does the knowledge of math, number, counting, geometry came from in the first place? Do you think math is an intrinsic property of mother nature and so it is also imprinted in our mind, naturally? Is it possible to describe nature using something other than math (ie. planetary motions, fluid dynamics, mechanics)?

Well, besides the fact that he does know something and that thing is that he knows nothing, but still, do you think this is the truest statement a person can come with? Do you have a better statement that holds more "truth"?

dear friends,you must read this?
How 2 live your life

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God. If your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car."

"The sand is everything else - the small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls."

"The same goes for life."

"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter."

"Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked."

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."
