Some of you may say that this is a waste of five points. Well, yes, it is and I don't mind losing five points because I'd really like to know the answer(or at least your opinion)

An apt conciliating approach (reply/ solution) verily appeasing.......can be the one that follows?

'That the soul has no previous existence.....You deny it? Well —let us not argue the matter. Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.'

It will always end. Why does it matter so much? What is the value of life? If you kill someone, is it a crime to shorten the inevitable outcome? Is an assassin any less honorable than the common man? If I believe in the after-life, then this life could only matter if it effects a later life. If I don't believe in after life and I think I'll just dissappear into void after I die, why on earth would it be a crime for me to commit mass genocide and terrorism?

Some people call it relative. I call it impossible. Say it as if you were writing your own encyclopedia.

Although the question sounds depressed or even morbit but it is rather an interesting thought that leads to why I even type this question knowing it matters not in about 100 years from now or even sooner about an hour from now...

If you're not going to benefit from being a 'lone wolf' but you think everything everyone is doing is completely stupid. is it still better to make your own path or follow the flock?

Consumer A buys the *shiny new gadget version 3.2." In two months time, "Oh my god, I must get the new shiny gadget version 3.3 ! The version 3.2 is now obsolete!"

My co-workers at work, that's all they can talk about. I have long avoided getting caught up in this, but the consumerism is so pervasive that I am near the point of submitting.

It almost an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" situation. *sigh*

What a loss

Life is such a loss
When somebody else is the boss

You who are nothing, how can you expect to win
If somebody else has already decided that you belong in a bin

Nothing to be seen, no where to go
No vision, no light
Just gloom and doom in sight

But I will trust in the Lord
For I know His promises
Therefore I will wait and be still
For He has paid the final bill

Now I am free and
Can be me
Just as I am
He as accepted me

I believe that one of the biggest reasons many people fail in what they do, is because they fail to do what they know. Pursuing without diversion one's gifts in this modern society--which practically screams at the mind to learn a thousand things it wasn't built for--may make it very difficult to succeed; but in the end, it will make it impossible to fail.

and, if you feel like it, how did you come to this opinion?

Mainly, though, I'm curious what the people here think of Nietzsche...

Thanks!
