As for me, I could say I'm not what I wanted to be, but I really feel good with my life; it's not everything I wanted it to be, but I accept it with pride..
How about you?

I don't believe in "luck" which implies something that comes from no where. I believe in blessings, miracles, gifts, and the rewards of our efforts. But sometimes I still find myself saying to someone 'Good luck!' because there's nothing else I can think of...can you think of a phrase to replace this?

This follows from the last question most people were honest enough to say death is a certainty in their life.

Is death morbid to understand while your living or is that a mind set.
What is death? What is living? Is death the end of life? What is birth(not the understood, biology etc), but birth. Can we end anything? Or are we unaware of the danger of attachment.

Not according to someone else, not something you have read or heard. But if you asked yourself that question what would be your answer?

I have been seeing (and sleeping with) a married Russian woman whle her husband is at work. She says I am much better than him and she only married him for citizenship. I sometimes where his clothes and prance around their house imitating him as if he were gay, and this really makes her laugh. She says she really understand me well, and cannot understand him at all. I am enjoying myself. Am I wrong for doing so?

Is there a zodiac sign that you feel is better than your own and you wish you would have been under? Which sign are you and what sign do you wish you were and why?

PS: If you're happy with your sign, do not post a comment.

I have to do a seven page paper in Philosophy and cite five relevant sources. It has to be a persuasive paper. I'm not very good at stuff like this, does anyone have an resources to help me get started? The teacher has given out the most vague directions ever and will not clarify. He just tells us to read other people's work (like Kant or Mills) to get an idea of how they write persuasive opinions.

You see many things in dreams and many things are acquired and experinced during dreams. When you wake up, you do not weep over the loss, even though for the duration of the dream all that was real and gave you real satisfaction and joy. That was a 'dream' you tell yourself.

What prevents us from treating with similar nonchalance the experiences gathered during the waking stage of life as well. Arent dreams pointers to indicate that this life too is not real but a dream.
