Is it posible that there's a double for anyone in the world? I mean one I, for example saw quite a resemblence of a reletive of mine to a singer, and everyone said that they could be twins. My point is that maybe there's a double of ourselves somewhere in the world, maybe not in the same city, maybe not in the same country, maybe on the other side of the world.

Is there anyone special that you would contact? Any unresolved issues you'd like to resolve? Any one you'd like to forgive before you ask forgiveness? Is there anything you wish you had done, which you could possibly get done in your last 5 hours?

and yet, I have never heard of a convincing example. I would really like to hear if anyone else has. I seriously doubt it, but I have an open mind.

There are various systems of morality, including Nietsche's system in which the "strong" are not subject to the same rules and restrictions as the "weak". Napoleon's statement seems to be an assertion of the same principle, and Macchiavelli seemed to be saying, in his master work "The Prince", that that's the way it works, and, if you want to gain and keep power, you have to ignore the scruples that "lesser" people might have.

What would you do if you feel that you hate who you are as a person, but if you change yourself now you would probably be ruining your future for the next 10 years at least.

Does intellegence increase the chance that a person will have high moral standards or care more about the consequences of their actions. Maybe, maybe not. Would the world be a better place if it were govorned and occupied with intelligent individuals. Is it stupidity that is causing problems in the world or is it ignorance? What's your opinion?

Yes I’m aware that all of these contribute to making us who we are, for even the most callused atheist has faith in something*; the most zealous fanatic occasionally takes some comfort in scientific reasoning; the most contented and centered Tao master will eventually strike at where the bee stings and the most militant general will at some time look for the high road to a peaceful solution. What I’m interested in is what you think is the most important of these four aspects of who we are and why.


*Argue all you wish, but one of the definitions of faith is to have trust in ones beliefs. Isn’t atheism a belief? I’ve seen nothing about it that transcends that of one. Aaah- but that’s for future questions.
