All natural events like survival and reproduction are associated with pleasure.A baby voluntarily drinks milk necessary for survival. Reproduction is a pleasurable activity.But death which is very much a natural event is feared.Why has Nature made it fearful ?

I hate myself more than others hate me.

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin alone
I think of all the friends Ive known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobodys home

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

My first semester of college I felt like a different person. I got stressed out here and there, had confidence issues, but I got straight "A". Now, this 2nd semester, I'm bitchy, have a lot of anger, fear inside, dislike myself greatly, failing, forgetting exam, dates, I have FORGOTTEN many important dates and meetings, just missed another one.

I write in a journal for the things that are bothering me, but it's no good. I use to be a happy, focused person. My professor tells me that this is all in my control, but I have tryed for two months and it is getting worse. People are starting to think that I'm not intelligent , but an idiot. At, times I feel indifferent. What's wrong? I feel out of place.

Me and my friend were talking, he said that people are not free in anyway because human are limited to just being humans. You cant crawl to the moon, you cant close the door with your mind, you can only do what your nature permits you to do. I told him that I agreed exept that I think within that limited space of what it means to be human, there is some degree of freedom. e.g. I can choose to go left or right. We are limited but yet there still is some freedom i think, unlike my friend who thinks theres none. what do you think? I am not native speaking english, so sorry for the bad writing and plus I am not a good writer i prefer drawing.

ok, from what I see, all it takes to be successul is a determined mind. If you look at history and some of the biggest bastards out there; Hit.., Europeans conquering America, etc, they all succeeded in their plans. What I want to know is, why doesn't God intervene with such plans; it seems it's all just about will power and where does that leave the hot shot?

thanx

ps) if you can, pl. cite something from the Bible that would answer my question

My first love was performing. I've been acting in theater since I was 10, but I'm afraid of the difficulty of finding steady work in the field. I also don't know if acting can provide the contribution to society which I would like to leave behind.
I love politics, forensics, and travel, and have thought of working for the government, which is much more stable, but worry I'll always wonder if I could have made it as an actress.
Finally, I am devoted to animal rights and conservation, and feel I could have a fulfilling career helping animals, but I think I may be too sensitive to deal with some of the extremely sad and senseless situations I would likely come across.
So the question is, what should I pursue? I feel that by being torn between several things, not really picking a direction, I am standing still and not going anywhere at all.
Thank you.

When this question was typed there were, 38165 people who had more or less similar questions. I don't have the time to look through all those number of questions, and I believe that my question is different (well, somehow).

The past millennium has both seen the destruction and development of mankind. Wars, famine, environmental destruction were all part of the scene. But so has been technological progress, innovation in all areas of living, and improvement in the quality of life.

As we move forward as a race of humans, where are we headed after experiencing all those things? Is history bound to repeat itself? Is there destruction in the future? Or should we look forward to paradise?

It would have been better were things in black and white, but alas, things are in shades of gray. Surely, it will be a mixture of all those things, but could you paint that picture in words?

Unity is indiscernible if no difference is between unity and nothingness.

2. Unity is discernible only through the differences between unity and nothingness.

3. Unity is discernible only as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment" through the differences between unity and nothingness. (Tabulate the differences between unity & nothingness, if you do not have!)

I assume these statements as the basis of human intelligence. Do you agree?

This question is based on the story of the dog (well, I don't really know if it was a dog or not. I'm just assuming that it is a dog for the purpose of this question) who had a bone on his mouth. "When he looked at his reflection on the river, he saw a dog who also had a bone on his mouth. He barked and saw his bone fell towards the dog on the water. He became angry and barked and barked. Then, the dog on the water did the same. Finally, he lunged for the dog and fell into the river. The dog was swallowed by the current and died."

I'm just asking this question for the sake of asking question, so any answer is welcome c") hehe...

"The mind is unstable and flighty. It wanders wherever it desires. Therefore it is good to control the mind. A disciplined mind brings happiness."

"Fear has he none, whose mind is not defiled by passion, whose heart is devoid of hatred, who has surpassed (the dichotomy of) good and evil and who is vigilant."

"He whose mind is not steady is ignorant, whose tranquillity is ruffled, the wisdom of such a man does not come to fullness."

"The mind is incomprehensible and exceedingly subtle. It wanders wherever it desires. Therefore, let the wise aspirant watch over the mind. A well-guarded mind brings happiness."

An ill-directed mind does greater harm to the self than a hater does to another hater or an enemy to another enemy.

"Neither father nor mother, nor any other kindred, can confer greater benefit than does the well-directed, disciplined mind."

I was reading an article and it said that after death there is no life, we continue to lie in the ground until we rot and for eternity. I began to get wet in the eyes, yeah you can call me a pussy, a wussy or anything else, but it also said we would forget everything in this life and really I dont want to! It's not fair! I know it is almost impossible to tell what happens after death but does anyone here have any idea? I don;t want to forget my family, I don't think any of us do, please help me come to a conclusion.
