What will it be?

To be or not to be... unfortunately, that is still the question. I wonder what the question will be after people finally make up their minds about this one. Any ideas?

Thanks for your comments!

what do you think about global warming?

does the government and its input sway/influence your ideas or thoughts?

i think the democrats are right in their actions. although they are sometimes making it out to be like it is going to happen tomorrow. it is still an impending situation and it is getting worse and without people noticing it and doing something about it it will get worse. what do you think? do people need to fear this phenomenon more to do something?

If it takes courage to be honest, is being fearful simply being dishonest with yourself?

How often is coercion used as motivator instead of purpose?

Coercion
The most obvious form of motivation is coercion, where the avoidance of pain or other negative consequences has an immediate effect. When such coercion is permanent, it is considered slavery. While coercion is considered morally reprehensible in many philosophies, it is widely practiced on prisoners, students in mandatory schooling, and in the form of conscription. Critics of modern capitalism charge that without social safety networks, wage slavery is inevitable. However, many capitalists such as Ayn Rand have been very vocal against coercion[citation needed]. Successful coercion sometimes can take priority over other types of motivation. Self-coercion is rarely substantially negative (typically only negative in the sense that it avoids a positive, such as undergoing an expensive dinner or a period of relaxation), however it is interesting in that it illustrates how lower levels of motivation may be sometimes tweaked to satisfy higher ones.

If everyone eventually dies, why should anyone care about anything?

Why should people strive for goals, marriage, a family, etc if everything dies eventually? Why become a doctor when you'll die eventually and your patients will die too?

Bad things happen to good people? Good things happen to bad people? Why?

Or Good is Bad and Bad is Good in actual; and maybe Judged wrongly? I am refering to 'Intentions'. As we never know if good actions also had good intention; and bad acts have bad intentions, either? What's this Riddle?

Most of the Rebels are victims of such response, and they said good bye to goodness, outrageously!!
