By which standard do we determine which forms of life are worth valuing and saving versus those that we choose to kill or allow to be killed? Complexity and intelligence? Usefulness to humans? Arbitrary cultural values?
Not only this but based on what do you determine this for yourself and what standard should we use as humans?

As ‘Cogito, ergo sum’? (I think, therefore I am.)? Could ol' Descartes have gotten it backwards?

Don't we, by the simple act of existing, think?

(Excluding those of us from your argument who may be brain-dead.)

Is this world a small world, or is it big? When you look at it perspectively, realistically, or etc.? sort of way does it change how the world is?

Failure of love


Love fails me
A disease that kills me
Taking a chunk every time
Leaving me bitter
Cautious
Sick

No time to understand
The reasons why
No one cares in my
Wandering by

Let’s stomp her down
So far she begins to crumble
Let’s shoot her in her precious
Heart, and make her a machine
Of hate,and disgust

Take every ounce of her hope
Burn all her dreams
Avoid telling her the truth
She’ll never get what it means

Advantage, because she is weak
And a mess of sorrow
Avoid knowing her today
She’ll still be going tomorrow


I’m all I have seen
I know every thing about me
Alone leaves me to analyze
My inner self
I don’t need you or anybody else.

I just did it and i'm amazed...i never thought i could...after i said my final goodbye...i prepared myself for a sleepless crying night...but instead i wasn't able to cry a single tear..
then, as i lay in bed...while expecting the old pangs of pain to rush in...I instead found myself praying for his happiness...and i felt peace and fell into a peaceful sleep....
when i woke up this morning...i couldn't believe the way i seem to have accepted things ......how was i able to do it?

Out of your eyes. You see people and things, things happen, time goes. But how do you see the world and the earth? I'm not sure what exactly im asking, but really.. tell me what pops into your mind, and i'll tell you what goes into mine too?

Be serious too, it can be short / long, as long as you mean it and its not poking fun at!

Love is all about chemical reactions. If someone doesn't happen to feel love, what's the fuss? They're not miserable by necessity.

It's a cliche that the world is unfair. But it is used as a way to scold people--"Nobody ever said the world was fair. Get over it." Everybody will allow you with a tiny bit of complaining that the world is unfair, but if you try to go beyond reiterating the old cliche, people get mad. "How dare you complain that the world is more unfair to you than to anybody else! The world is equally unfair to all." That's the gist of the response you will get.

So, the accepted wisdom is the the world is fairly unfair. That is, the world is fair.

A corollary to that is that anybody who is suffering from some unusual unfairness must have somehow brought it upon themselves. That is, the ultimately fair world has proportionately responded to something you did and justice has been done. Again the world is fair.

Is there anybody out there who thinks that the world has been unfairly unfair to them? What response to you get when you try to tell somebody about it?

you are alive so that you can pass on your genes
you are merely their host and your only goal in life (reproduction) is to pass on those genes

you are a host of your own genes.

depressing?

Do you believe you are in control of your own destiny? Or do you think, everything was meant to be, and you can not change your ultimate fate?

I think I angered the Yahoo Gods, I have been unable to post for a few days. But, I must be holding my face right again because I am back. So, as for my Q. Have you ever felt unloved, misunderstood, & basically discounted? Why do you think that was? Did you find yourself wanting to sell a part of yourself to make this change? How did it resolve for you? I am asking the Q. for all levels, human & spiritual. I am excited about the prospect & direction the answers may take. Please, be as open & honest as possible & answer from what ever level you find yourself. Thank you all who care to share this fragile part of yourself with me. L the N
