Phenomenoms that emerge in life aside the simple mechanism of evolution by which the best adapted species survives. For example, in essence, its not necessary for young tigers to enjoy fighting between each other, but they do. On second thought, its kind of necessary, because that way they practice hunting, but still makes you wonder about the things in life that emerge without an immediate utilitarian explanation.

I just watched a few minutes of an Elivis show. It hurt my heart to see such a gifted and compassionate person pour his heart out for people, try to share his compassion and sorrow with us and we make him into a clown.

I am not an elivis freak, nor do I own a single piece of memorabilia.

My point is a true philosophy question, why do we suck the life out of the ones who are truly tender, compassionate, and gifted, and kill them?

Why do we destroy the best of us?

What do you think, if no war destroys us, the future will be like in 100 years? What advancements? Inventions? Theories? Morals?

I'm reading 'the power of positive thinking' and wondering if anyone here feels or knows whether a positive mental attitude 'influences' events in the physical world as the book claims..

thanks ;)

I said yes of course i do.
She asked what is your life worth!
