Can Hip hop be compared to Mozart for example, or are they totally in different leagues? Is is pure snoberry to say Mozart is worth more than hip hop? Does democracy skew the debate with its instance on having the masses decide what is good or bad?

I'm in college and when I first entered, I was overly nice and most people around me liked me. I was too sensitive. It's been a few semesters and I've learned that people can be cold and cruel for no reason. At first, I was about to drop out of college because it greatly affected my mental health, but now I've made a decision. Don't be nice to the people who you don't trust even if you are going to be working with them for a few more years. People say that I have greatly changed and that I have become a Biitch. So what? That's the only way peoples opinions won't get to me. I didn't come to college to waste my time with cold heartless people, but to get my degree. If I'm nice and I let people in, I know I will get hurt. It's too much for me to handle. My problem is that I have created this wall and my loved ones are hurt by it.

How many people cling to a belief in God because they couldn't survive the inhumanity of this society/culture
without having something greater to grab hold of just to make it through another day?

If they thanked you for what you did for them because they did not know something important that you told them and they were eventually glad that you did, even if they argued with you about it to begin with, if they eventually told you thank you and that you were a hero to them would you appreciate that? Would that make you feel good?

which religion or pilosophical ideology best suits my beliefs:

Everything happens for a reason or many reasons though the reason is not usually obvious and may never be known. Events occur because they are meant to.

I believe in some sort of spiritual force, but I am not sure what. Maybe it is something within nature ie the trees and Earth. Maybe God.

I do not think humans really have superiority to animals. I am very much against cruelty to animals. I am also for the protection of the environment.

I do not believe the Bible or Holy Qu'ran is true. They are just a collection of stories that have been distorted over time and passed on by word of mouth before being written down.

I believe in some supernatural events that are unexplained and it really makes me think and wonder.

Humans created the modern organized religions. They wanted an explanation to things they did not understand.

i might add some more later... ask me questions if you want to know more about somethign specific

I am not in any way hoping for this. In fact I pray that it doesn't happen for a long time. But I am a realist. We are not going to be able to hang on to the bulls horns forever. Sooner or later we are going to get bucked.

So again how long do you predict we have? Not what you hope or what you want, what is your honest prediction?

In the First Meditation, Descartes says "Some years ago I was struck by the large number of falsehoods that I had accepted as true in my childhood, and by the highly doubtful nature of the whole ediface that I had subsequently based on them. I realized that it was necassary, once in the course of my life, to demolish everything completely and start again right from the foundation...."

What is he trying to discover by systematically doubting all his options? What is it that he thinks cannot be doubted?
