It is an act too often neglected, It means to establish ties.

Why is it only drug dealers and software developers call their clients 'users'? Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? How is it possible to have a civil war? If God dropped acid, would he see people? If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too? If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "assteroids"? Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them? Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? Where are we going? And what's with this handbasket? If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of the stuff? Why is there an expiration date on sour cream? If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

Always heard that one has to compromise in life.Is it necessary and desirable to compromise with all ur principles for happiness and peace. If so, the peace we thus get after giving up all our principles that shaped our life till date, is worth it? At some juncture of life, it demands n squeezes us to leave behind the very principle, which served as the foundation of life. Shud we compromise and lose our very entity by giving up that principle, for happiness? Will we have mental satisfaction after doing that? For example, my educaton n upbringing taught me to be truthful and at this point of life, I find myself stuck coz I cud not lie in one of the occassions, which stopped my further movement.If I wud have moved with that lie, do u think my conscience wud have allowed me to be happy with that big compromise???

Certain behaviors are instinctual:
* Eating is an instinct
* Avoiding death is an instinct
* Reproducing is an instinct

Every animal follows its instincts, but humans have the ability to transcend theif instincts. Humans have the opportunity to take their fate into their own hands, unlike animals who are strictly limited to following the instincts they were born with.

When you perform behavior dictated by your genes, is that you acting, or is it some other force commanding you to act in a certain way? Is it really your will when you have no choice over it?

Most people live for their families, that is they get their meaning in life by following their instinct to pass on their genes. This is best characterized as their selfish genes acting to make sure that the genes survive.

When you reach the end of your life, and upon reflection, decide that you only followed the behavior pattern dictated by your genes, only acted instinctually, will you have lived a meaningful life?

and that all your friends had died and / or moved on with their lives in some way that made it impossible for you to re-connect....

What exactly would you do in order to find and form new, quality friendships? (Keep in mind you are still struggling with your medical problems -- which, in turn, cause frequent fatigue and depression -- so it is tough to BE a good friend too!)

Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback. I’m not sure what I want to do with this, so I can understand why it is confusing to read. My writing is all over the place. Right now, I am just writing and hoping to figure it out soon. It is based on my life. I hope to make it into a memoir or a self-help book. I will put more up soon.

Bible says, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Confusious say, :"Don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you." What's the difference exactly? I'm confused?

The fact we all see the same thing still dosent prove that we are connected in some mysterious ways, isnt it obvious that we see the same cause we all the same? its like we found something more importantily with abstract and obscure image than the objective, explained one. there must be some logical explanation and dismis some metaphysical sense, or do you belive there a metaphysical world?
