When I was young I believed anything was possible. I made the mistake of allowing a friend to talk me out of this “ridiculous” belief when I was about 12. Now at 27 I am back to believing that nothing is impossible. What are your thoughts on this? Are you a nothing is impossible person or are do you think there are limitations?

In my 28 years I've only had a handful of people bring up philisophical discussions and when I try and discuss them I usually get laughed at or told I am crazy. Why do most people usually avoid these conversations like the plague? I just want to discuss things other than fashion, sports, music, movies or any other thing I use to temporarily make myself feel better and distract me from the real issues of the world. I see people going around like robots, day in day out doing the same things over and over again not questioning what's happening around us, what's happened before us, or what will happen in our future. What percentage of the population do you think actually thinks "deep" and wants to know more? Do most people have these thoughts but they don't voice them? Are they too scared to think about it? Does living day to day like a robot bring them comfort and distraction? Do they already have answers that satisfy them? Or do most people really not think about it at all?

The power of words: Sometimes I think people are unhappy because they think happiness is a state of mind, not a fleeting emotion. I think content would be a better word to describe a "happy person". What do you think?

I don’t know why people fight for how they think is god…. THINK, Why should the existence of god be as we want, it (he/she) is as it is, may be we could never know how is god, as one of your cells doesn’t feel your feelings. But I also want to think how is god and I like to think that he also evolves and develops as we do.

I'm not happy at this point in my life. I have been really searching myself for over a year for any clue of what I REALLY want to do with my life. I want a new career, but not just one that will bring me back to this same point. But I live in a small town and I'm trying to find something that would fit into my life here without moving my family. I have friends that have found their place and make good money too and although I am glad for them I am so sad b/c I want that for myself! Somebody please help!

Do blind people have dreams about physical things they have never seeing?
How can you picture something, which you don't have any visual images of?
Aren’t dreams recollections of images from your own experiences?

As perfection is impossible to attain, is this conception innate in us, or a negation of our imperfection?

God made us so we could glorify Him and have fellowship with Him (1 John 1:1-3). He made Adam and Eve and put them in the garden, and then He walked in fellowship with them. He gave them the greatest thing they could have, His love and presence. After they sinned, God said, "Adam, where are you?" God sought Adam. In Exodus 25:8 God said to Moses while Israel was in the wilderness, "And let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them." In the New Testament in John 1:14 it says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt (tabernacle) among us..."(1) God seeks our presence. He wants to have fellowship with us. He made us to give us His love and enjoy His presence. But, man sinned and separated Himself from God. That is why Christ died for sins, that our fellowship with God would be restored.

I have always thought of imaginary friends as something in the movies or story books. How can we prove that this is indeed fact or fiction with so little information. Is this an out of body experience, is it reated to Satre's theory on mind and body? Please help me explain the experience. Thanks

I mean whenever someone is sad they ussually think about all sort of sad stuff and just ignore all the good parts of their lives. Why is that so?

My GFs 38 year old brother refuses to get a job.He lives in the guest room of her house.There is nothing wrong with him, as a matter of fact he is quite smart. Everyone who knows him expresses their lack of respect for his refusal to work.He asked the question"What difference does it make if I work or not?" and "So what,if I got a job at McDonalds or something, people would respect me?". I had trouble answering him with a 'strong' argument.
