...when your time has come, what do you want to be written on your tombstone? I hope mine will read, "She made a difference."

my vote goes to charles darwin....he shook the whole planet out of the wooly-minded slumber that religion had meandered us into...and wised us up to our real situation.

It made news that people were waiting on line for days just to be the first to purchase the new iphone which cost $600. Why why why do people covet such material things that they are driven to do that? Do you think thet would use their "valuable" time and money for people or children in need or are they just so caught up in their own little materialistic world? Why is this so important to people? Answer what you wish.... thanks for listening and.. have a nice day. ; )

Do you think the reason the divorce rate is more than half is because most people don't wait for their soulmate but settle for something less?

i had this idea since my secondary school days, because being a slight sufferer of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, i have a thing for numbers and patterns.

when i was reading on maths and logic, i came across some other scholars or matheticians beliefs that coincided with mine, in that patterns in a cycle does not necessarily have to be regular.

for example, take a look at this trend.

1, 3, 6, 10, 20, 25, 30, 33, 36, 39, 40, 43, 46, 50.

a weak yet certain pattern is observed in this set of numbers, if you follow the trend you should come up with the next number as 100 or 60. because of the irregularities of the number formed, the next event is "highly predictable", yet not with a high "significance level". also, there isnt an explanation on how the number 40 came up instead of 42, making it harder to comprehend the cycle itself. but essentially, it's a big cycle.

just my thoughts on this issue. any similar or opposing views? would love some serious insights on this issue

When the symbols of patriotism is introduced into religious worship, is not that congregation indulging in idolatry? Viewing patriotism from a religious perspective and religion from a patriotic prespective.

I am a thoughtful person. I think before I speak or write anything.

Sometimes, people think I am stupid or dumb because I answer a question slowly. The truth is..I ponder over the question..I want to see the big picture.

Yesterday, my sister asked me, "Did you forget anything in Dan's car?" ...I think about what she said to make sure..if I don't forget anything..It took me a few seconds to answer her...She complained that I think too much, and the question should be answered immediately, no need to think too much.

Do you think being thoughtful..like I did..is stupid? When should I stop being thoughtul?

On this 4th of July week-end holiday do you really feel free about anything and do you know how to feel more in control of your own life.It seems like every aspect of life controls us.
What do you do to be free or at least feel like you are in control of something?
