Had this dream last night. It was rather disturbing. Searches of the dream interpretation guides out there all talk about seeing ghosts, but not being one. Any ideas? (I spent my time in the dream trying to interact with the living world unsuccessfully).

Okay, so violence and ignorance go hand in hand, but do we need nirvana-like doses of enlightenment to avoid violence? Can small and quiet acts of daily kindness and well wishes make a big difference in the humanity's future? ... How about if billions of people adopted such a simple moral attitude? Or is inherent interest-based violence ultimately too powerful of a force for humanity to overcome?

to decide not to decide is a decision in of itself? So how can you believe in not believing, isn't that believing to not believe? so why do people say I choose not to believe? thats just confusing.

only smart answers please. :)

Now be careful, the truth of truths is not that easy of a question as you might think. The truth of truths can not be denied by anybody and everybody answers the same, so in the world today there is no truth more true than this, so what is it?

"On Thanksgiving For A National Victory"

Ye hypocrites are these your pranks
to murder men and give God thanks?
Desist, for shame proceed no further
God does ne want your thanks for murder.

I am aware that Islam does not consider that killing a person who has invaded a territory or who has killed a Muslim is "innocent" so under Islam it is not murder. Also, people from a COUNTRY which has invaded a territory or who has killed a Muslim are not considered to be "innocent", if I understand correctly.

People in the West, however, feel that shahids with cell phone detonators, car bombs or explosives taped to their midriff who kill the infidel, kuffar in the jihad of the cause of Allah - are murdering and mostly murdering INNOCENT people because the people that are dying are not soldiers.

Does God want us to kill others in His name?

Beyond the accepted underlying force carrying particle exchanges and interactions, that is. .... Are we lacking the fundamental understanding of "dimensionality"?

I'm torn on this subject. I stand on a line between creation and evolution, often opting for a blend of the two. Its a bit of a paradox for me. I have a hard time believing that we evolved from microorganisms, but then there's this creator question. At some point you have to say that something came from nothing, and its very trying going round and round in this circle. Your thoughts?
Please no nasty comments from you antireligious folks, I consider myself agnostic for the time being, with no formal religion, and I don't need anyone to try to prove anything to me, so keep your nasty comments to yourself please.
All you open-minded folks, please share your thoughts.

... has been used for such a horrible programme with such horrible people in it. It originally comes from George Orwell's novel 1984 and refers to the oppressive watcher that is Big Brother. This is not strictly a question, but I would like to hear people's thoughts.

Given that it has been hypothosized that there is infinite space and infinite universes does every fictional reality we watch or read about actually corrispond to a factual reality somewhere in the multiverse where the laws of physics in that particular dimention in the multiverse allow what is being depicted. it doesn't have to be in every physically possible multiverse just in some, even though those some are still infinite? would this not mean our media gives us glimpses into real alternate realities or other dimentions?

Given that our minds eye can picture a person and picture ourselves interacting with that person, does that mean even though the person we are conversing with is created with our own imagination and has no phsysical presence except in the nuerons of our brain it still has some sort of animation or life, a sort of living thought?

I have noticed that a lot of people refer to the extinction of humans and the ruin of civilization as "The end of the world." Why?

Wont the earth still exist even if humans disappear?
Am I missing something?
Help me.

When I think about the end of the world, I think of the death of the sun. Or the earth literally falling to pieces. Not the absence of humans. Wouldn't that be a good thing for the earth?

Are humans the world? What do you think?

I, personally believe, that if you're trust love to solve a problem, you're not looking at the problem objectively.

Other elements, such as trust, honest, open communication and an open mind, are needed to make love effective in any measure.

What are your thoughts?

2006-08-17 07:43:31 · 16 answers · asked by Blissbug 2

are we talking about...

a). fear of the unknown
b). pain that we associate with death
c). not being there to enjoy life anymore i.e. regret
d). irrational fear that has developed due to conditioning
e). all of above
f). oh you aint scared of death... in which case- why?

i'd like serious articulate answers that describe your fear (or lack thereof) of death please... do fight the urge to simply answer this as a multiple choice question.
