The Sperm Theory states that, the strongest, fastest and most dedicated sperm cell will win the right to create life. All of the thousands of other, less active sperm will die not knowing what it was like to create life.

So it is best to be the best!
And, doesn't pay to waste away!

Which leads to the questions,
"Does this mean life is a race?" - If so, I want to win !
"What happens if I don't win?" - I don't want to wait to find out !
"What are you doing to be the best?" - Following my dream !

This is a Metaphorical Question:

I dont know how many people will get it .

Let say there are two people in a room filled with lets say 60 chairs....A and B.
A alwas sits at one place , never changes it.
B always ,every day moves to a new place and sits there.

Now , question is which approach is the best? I dont want to look at it from the point of view of Good/Bad- right /Wrong. whats the best thing to do?

Now lets say , chairs are not chairs(Lets say they are people) and instead of two people there is world population and there are twice the number of chairs than total population of the world.

What is the best thing to do ?

Stick to same place / idea / thought / belief / person / country or
Being experimental and trying new things???

Or its better to stick to one thing ,may be its socially accepted.

My life is really weird. I'm Christian and I honestly care about people. If they have a problem I'll listen to them and i'll commit to helping them out. People very often say I'm too happy because I tend to make everyone's day. I do get sad at times, and when I go look for a shoulder to lean on, people tell me to stop caring because I'll never find anything in return. They say i'm a freak for caring and for helping them... i helped them with their problems shouldn't they say i'm doing a good thing? and i don't butt into people's business...when people are down i just let them know they can come to me, i don't just start asking questions or get myself involved right away. Is there anyone else out there that cares just as much as I do? I'm not looking for an answer to the way people treat me...just comments?

I believe dreams are inspiration and imagination that we all experience. Please be serious and do not give dumb answers just to get two points.

IHume believes that if an individual has a desire and can act on said desire thatn they posses free will. However,if Hume's definition is correct, a person can count as free even though the determinations of his will and any resulting action are themselves determined or fixed by factors outside of the person's control. For Hume, all of our actions, like everything else that happens in nature, proceed according to fixed regularities. Given these regularities or laws of human nature, and given some initial conditions before even the birth of the person, everything he or she will do is predictable, at least in principle. It would be ridiculous to think that such actions or such a person could count as free. Since Hume's definition of liberty or freedom allows that such actions can count as free, this shows that Hume's definition of liberty is wrong.

I was just wondering what some of you though about this. I've been reading an equiry concerning human understanding.

How do you see a coward? What is the difference between being brave and being foolish? What do you do to people that are harrassing you to make them stop?

Celebrities ? Simple men ? Musicians ? Political leaders ?
I just wanna know. I wanna have a role-model, a source of inspiration for myself and I find it really hard to pick one.
Sometimes I think that simple people who express no interest in material possessions and are satisfied with what they have are good. Then sometimes I admire celebrities. Then sometimes political leaders.
I don't know. All of them prove gulity of non-idealism at times. Simple people have little ambition. Celebrities are only interested in themselves not the people. Political leaders manipulate us for their interests.
Do you have someone who do you trust as a role-model in all that he does or says ?

"The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order." This is not a request for help in homework. I am really genuinely interested in your interpretation. There are no right or wrong interpretations, but serious, sensible answers are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Just thought this might be interesting if anyone can make an argument that anarchy and tyranny though appearing to be on opposite ends of a spectrum are really of the same construct.

Really. Everyone is always like, "Oh yeah there is no God, and we just made Him up in our minds. There is no such thing." Really? Then prove it. How is it possible that there is no God?

Aristotle maintains that we should not be teetotalers or imbibe too much alcohol. This is his theory of the golden mean. Is he correct? Is abstaining from alcohol just as bad as drinking too much?

Do you think the only way to get stronger is by taking the road less traveled (hard, difficult path) or going the easier route and enjoying the process

Stronger means becoming the best at what ever you do and self growth.
