I have realized in my 20's that that everything we make plans to do when we are young almost tie us to the past. To move on I have had to change some dreams, make some compromises, and leave some things behind. I have not been worrying about how this will make me feel if my life ends before I am ready. What if all the worries I had about making it when I turn 60 and wondering what if regreat giving up on this or that?

I just wanted to ask a question and see if there is more like a statement than an answer to (when is it ok to just be happy in the moment and forget that tomorrow is a mystery we can't solve? When is it O.K. to accept that yesterday happened for a reason beyond your control?) This question should span across generation gap because we all have days we wish didn't happen and dreams of perfection that we wait-sometimes work-for on our own?

Is it ever too late to either raise one's self up to the level at which one is meant to be or to step down from the pedestal on which one may have set his- or herself upon?

Evaluation criteria
a) Symbol of Power

Eagle and american flag is recognized throughout the world, American passport is well known, nobody dares talk against america or america will eliminate you into non-existence

b) Power to enforce, to make others do what America says, and not otherwise

Nuclear launch codes, earthquake triggers, hurricane triggers, tsunami , fire, everything that causes destruction must be handed over to Washington from London. London is not fit to handle this. London must play Hidden enforcer, and must hide behind the curtain like Lord Siva did. America will police and enforce the world for you. Hows that.

b) Intellectual Superiority

By BUYING or STEALING any latest scientific or technological breakthrough whether it be from Russia Japan or China, America must hold the key to its control.

c) Spiritual Superiority

America has a dedicated "following" enforced entirely through choice of money. America plays enforcement b

I have been reading some books on philosophy and have found some variations all the different branches of philosophy. There doesn't seem to be any controversy on the metaphysical, epistemological and ethical branches, but aesthetical, law and politics and logic are included in some and not included in others. Is there a definative answere to this or is this still debatable. The only branch that I feel is kind of iffy is aesthetics, but maybe I could be wrong.

Of course, because you were only granted 3 wishes, you won't get this one. So this is the wish right behind your top 3.

What is the biggest Question?

Who we are and what are we doing here?
Is there a God?
Do we know what we really know?
Do we know what we really need to know?
Who we are?
These are the few questions that arise in the minds of people and many often we just give up while looking for these answers. Many generations and civilizations have just passed like time, without any answers to these questions.
People remain so involved and busy in their day-to-day affairs that they do not feel importance of these basic questions.
In this vast universe of non-living things life in itself is quite strange. Although many scientists have contributed in issue of ‘the origin of life’ still we know very little about it and many other issues which we many have never ever thought of.
The humans have a very inquisitive and logical mind that has made our day-to-day life quite simpler and progressive. Since past we have tried to find answers to the normal and strange phenomenon around us, and I need not to say that we have been quite successful. Still I would repeat that do we really know ‘all’. What is ‘all’? What is absolute? These are the questions that have stayed since past.
In the past when rain and clouds were considered as God and thunder, lightening, diseases, famine and droughts were considered as evil or God’s anger. Now man is fighting with the evil forces of nature and has reduced them significantly. So does that mean that God’s span of power has weakened? When we are in tough situations we remember God. Even during Football matches people simultaneously pray to God. Consider a situation where both team fans pray in large numbers so if God really listens to the prayer of their devotees then to whom will He/She will listen to. Will it be the most needy ones? Then why do we have poor and needy since ages?
My questions still remain many and same.
What is the biggest question?

Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.

this is my take, the natural world is generally explained by math and logic, but since the supernatural is NOT "natural", therefore it can't be explained using logic and reason, am I correct?

" If you earn the wealth of pure love, you become the richest person in the world. He who is contented is the richest man in the world and the one who has many desires is the poorest man in the world. Today, man is filled with desires from top to toe. As long as one has desires, one can never be happy and peaceful. Give up desires and see for yourself how much love and bliss you get. The bliss you experience will be far superior to all the happiness you have experienced before. All the bliss is within you. But you are imagining that it is outside. What is outside is only the reflection, reaction and resound of what is within you."
