I have been pondering over this for ages and i think i have proved that choice is a myth.

If we have a personality, our personality will decide what to do in any given situation. For example, if you were asked to play in a music concert, you could say yes or no. Your personality is that you are daring to try new things, but you can't play music to save your life. You also like to be abnormal. So whilst the obvious choice would be to say "No, I can't play music," you will say, "Yes, I'd love to." But was that really your choice?I don't think so.

Am I talking crap?

I was talking to a friend yestarday about the state of the world and, although we agree on things, she suggeted that there was no point in making yourself ill worrying about things if there is nothing you can do about them. I disagree. What do you think?

Regarding "When a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to hear it does it still make a noise?"

Something I realized is that the real reason why this question has gone on answered for so long is that the question itself is poorly defined. Noise can mean many things. It can mean what someone hears or or can mean the vibration itself created when the tree hits the ground. So we really don't know what the questioner is trying to find out when they ask this question. The solution to this unsolved problem- therefore is to simply admit that you don't understand the question and ask the questioner to define what they mean by noise. After you find out what they mean by noise you now have enough information to answer the question.

What I'm trying to find out is- is the real reason why this problem has gone unsolved for so long out of lack of understanding of how to solve this problem, or because people are too proud to admit they don't understand the question?

My grandmother died a month ago. It was and still is very hard to accept. I couldn't believe that the person I was hugging the day before, no longer existed and I could never see her, hear her, hug her or kiss her again. When I visit my grandfather I still think I'll see her standing by the door. Today as I was watching TV, the death of a politician who happened to be a friend of mine was announced. That woman was always full of joy, energy and love. She wanted to make a difference in the world and help others. She was only in her fourties so why did God take her away?
Why does death exist. I just can't understand it!

I'm not talking about the N. Korea thing that happen today, or Iran, but something more sinister, something that inculdes everyone on earth, something that has been building up over time, or maybe since Y2K, as if to state the Y2K scare, happened, but not to our technology, but to us, the human being the greatest technology in existence. I've just been getting these strong feelings, that make me go into rantsthat keeps me up at night, and sometime brings me to tears, then I start hearing about the school shootings, almost happening everyday now, now I wake up today and not only theirs another school shooting threat, but N. Korea. Also I've been hearing voices right before I enter rem sleep, voices that made me want to commit my self, these voice more like whispers keep me up untill my body falls out due to exhustion. But these voices tell me thing that happen but hasn't happened yet, and now some of them r coming to pass so to speak. These voices have told me of the downfall of the U.S

Yes, I know that everybody is different and humans vary WIDELY. It's one thing to refrain from judging a stranger. But when a person has voluntarily interacted in my life in some way (friend or lover), I assume they are more like me than others. If I liked or loved them, it is shocking to find out they would do something I never imagined. It seems like I could deal with it if they told me why. Do they even know why? Why don't they tell you if you ask them?

Details- We are already in Hell. No Question. If you are alive and kicking on this Earth. You are already in Hell. Your Karma has put you here. The only escape is by purification. The cycle of Birth and Death is almost inescapable. When you are in Hell. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't realize that they are already in Hell. They go about their mundane existence, never realizing that are already condemmed. The only recourse for the bad Karma that put you in Hell in the first place is to lead a pure and clean life. You can find this tool in the teachings of the Buddah. He escaped this round robin. He is a light in the sky. An example to follow. That's what a Buddah does. They dive into Hell and take out the souls that they can. A great sacrifice for a soul that must sully themselves in our wickedness. They were unsalvageable at some point but managed to redeem themselves and achieve enlightenment. Follow them. They are the teachers. They have blazed the path.

What is bad about having five points taken away? Isn't this point system a lot like getting stars stuck by your name on a poster hanging on the bulletin board in kindergarten. It is a method of control based on a pretend symbolic sytem with no concrete value that is bought into by the group of children, right? So those of you interested in the point system are just pretending it has some real value, correct? Why worry about it? It is not really needed is it? Are we past kindergarten or not?

" Today, intelligence has increased but educational standards have declined. Wherever you look the students refer to newspapers and magazines from abroad. However, they do not evince the same interest in their textbooks. They do not think at all about their own customs and traditions. Students in this modern age are accustomed to such false sense of values. They would like to engage themselves in discussion about many unnecessary things. For example, they discuss novels, making comments like "so and so author has written a book; how great it is!" They involve themselves in discussions and argumentation over such trivial matters. But they forget about their lessons in the textbooks. Thus, they go on acquiring knowledge about all and sundry and try to increase their worldly knowledge. They do not have any concern for the glory of real education."

The above is a quote, jk read of Sai Baba.
