Hey, oky so here's the deal:

I want to change the world. Okay, so you're heard it before. i want to amek an orginization that would reach out to people across the world. Kin of like Invisible children and TWLOHA. They're all great orginizations and I've always wanted to start my own.

I'm only 15 but hey, dreams come true, right? My question is how do you start things like this? Where do you begin and how do you get publicity?

Many people are afraid of what they're ignorant of & try to avoid learning about it. Why is that?

If we want to change a behavior, what can help us in this process?
Often if we were behaving or acting in a certain way all our life, it is very hard to change. I see this with others and I also experience this with myself.
Do you have some good ideas or examples, which you found useful in your own life, and which helped you to change?

wouldn't that take out the mystery in things or would you want to know everything if you could?

We are free of only what we dominate.
We only dominate what we understand.
We only understand what we possess.
We only possess what we hold.
We only hold what we have reduced, condensed and pulled all back to a notion.

do you think one has to suffer to see things in a certain way and then create artwork of sheer brilliance?
since a lot of great artists had unstable personal lives... what do you think the connection is?

i know this is true for the animals...but doesnt this hold true for human also..i mean the diseased people are always living in misery, the poor people who cant earn much are always sad..while the rich famous and the goodlooking have the best in life...people with autism dont have achance in this life to compete with the other people..fat people cant live their lives happily..just because they are fat. So only the people who are by socety'd standards considered fit survive happily...

Isnt it sad but true...what are your opinions on this?

I know happiness is all in the mind...but this thought just struck my mind....?

Will it ever exist? Why?

(1)

The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you


(2)

All in all I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know

>> I'm thinking about getting one of these as part of my tattoo. Which one do you guys like better (first or second one)?

In 1800 a billion people were sharing life on earth.

In 1900, 1.6 billion were feeling the pinch a bit and wondering where all these people were coming from.

1955 seemed strange. 2.55 billion human bodies competing for food, space, water, energy, comfort.

2.55 billion despite two world wars, a holocaust, a major influenza epidemic in 1917-18.

2006: 6.5 billion people tredding the mudball.

Humans have never achieved the ideal of spreading death of an entire population consistently. A lot of spikes and valleys happen.

Human sensibilities are offended when more than the alloted number of deaths happen during too compressed a time-span. An earthquake, 100,000 deaths raises eyebrows. A tidal wave.

But the challenge for 21st century planet walkers seems to be finding a way to keep that 6.5 billion from reaching 13 billion by 2075. Birth control hasn't approached the problem, and isn't likely to do so.

What do philosophy, religion, and science have in common? What distinguishes them from each other? Is philosophy incompatible with religion?

I stumbled upon a article about an ex-atheist having a near death experience. Naturally, after "his experience" he now believes and is a Rev. for the United Church of Christ.

Personally, I'm not an atheist, and I think organized religion is dangerous, to a certain degree. I still haven't established any beliefs, except for maybe that I hope there is a God or some higher being. I guess that would be make me an agnostic, right? haha.

Here is my question: How does some one read this? Should it be read as an indication that MAYBE there is a heaven and hell? That maybe we should believing. Should it be ignored and considered as propaganda?

Here is the full article:

Here is the shorter version:

One more thing, I believe there are other sources and book in the world than just the "holy book."

One last thing, I've read "The End of Faith."

They are thankful for food and water and a roof over their heads. We are thankful for fancy homes, big cars, and influence over others. I genuinely desire the hope that they have! The heck with the big home and fancy cars! They don't matter. People are what matter!...................

(Sighting) Earlier this week, when the rain was falling down but higlighted with the natural light of the sun - The sight was stunning! It was the most perfect, blissful Summer's evening full of fluffy lavender clouds.

(Feeling) Rain again! Yesterday I was caught in the midst of the extreme weather while walking home from school. To begin with, I panicked because I had to walk with my eyes closed where and had trouble breathing. Then .. It turned into one of the most beautiful feelings in the world, the intensity was magical.

I digress..

I would love to here your sights and feelings of the week! Have a wonderful evening! :-)

There are two kinds of pretending. There is the bad kind, as when a person falsely promises to be your friend. But there is also a good kind, where the pretense eventually turns into the real thing. For example, when you are not feeling particularly friendly, the best thing you can do, very often, is to act in a friendly manner. In a few minutes, you may freally be feeling friendlier.
So my question is: Can deception - pretending something is true when it is not - sometimes have good results?

explain your thought

Do you think our conscience is guided by reason, emotion, or both? Is there such a thing as pure altruism?

Why do we allow others to shape who we are instead of trusting ourselves, our instincts, our taste? Every day we see fashion fanatics and girls especially who all look the same...as if they have been cloned...:0) :0) :0) :0) :0) :0) :0) :0) :0) :0)
