Is there actually love, or is it a temporary feeling know as lust?
I have recently felt what i think may be love as i have observed it in nature, animals, the eyes of children, they sheer beauty of women(women have more power than men by far, mabe not physically but mentally they out-rule men with their beauity)..

Or mabe I should redefine my question. Is LOVE permanent or temporary? And if its temporay, why would one expect a marriage to last for more than say a couple years...?

Legally murder is when you decide to end someone's life. If a sick patient is lying in bed and is told he or she will die within 2 hours, and an nefarious adversary stabs smirks and unplugs their life-sustaining treatment, we would surely condemn this person as having committed murder.
But what if a person is jumping off a building and two seconds before the person hits the ground, a stranger shoots him. The stranger doesn't know the person who wants to commit suicide, he just reasons "he is going to die anyways, what's the difference if I take 1 second of his life away?" Let's say instead an adversary knows the person committing suicide and he shoots him, but he maliciously kills him for the reason so that he will be the person who killed his enemy, so that he can have the last laugh and tell himself he was the one who murdered the person he hated.

Did the stranger commit murder? Did the adversary commit murder? Have they both commited murder or have neither?

Or will we always have faults and failings no matter how hard we try to conquer something. As an eg. someone with a temper, or someone with impatience, or someone who swears, or someone who is always late.....if a person tried to conquer all this, will there be a time when it's possible to just become perfect. Or will we always be imperfect, and need to be accepted for who we are? How far can our efforts go in conquering?

Who created God?
Did he evolve from something that was here already or did he just appear out of thin air?
What explanation can you offer me about who created the creator?
Thanks.........

Are those who believe:

that there is no God just because they don't see him physically;

that there is no higher power to whom they are accountable;

that people can basically do whatever they want without any certain consequences (because it APPEARS to be the case);

that there are no moral absolutes because it is more convenient that way for many;

in a state of delusion?

I would say no, as instincts are just the concept that the human psyche is divided into parts. Parts of what though? The WHOLE. So instincts don't really exist, it's just a matter of gravitating towards survival.

We are what we are and thus the only way can continue being is if we continue being, which means procreating. We always choose to reproduce, whether we are a dog a horse or a human. Nothing 'forces' us to do anything, as control is an illusion.

Control is an illusion because if you can control your own fate, then anyone else can control YOUR fate as well.

Your thoughts?

For example, if a person says they are afraid of flying, aren't they really saying they are afraid of crashing? Afraid of swimming is really a belief in the power of drowning? Fear of heights is really a belief in falling?
