Do you often like to listen to music that makes you cry? Why?

Which songs and artists? What drives you to listen to such sorrowful songs? Are we as humans who live in the 21st century somehow growing weary of the idea that "good songs" have to make us happy with all laughter and smiles? Is this popular misconception a product of an overly commercialized society?

Why is life the most precious thing we have?

I know it's the most precious thing we have but I need some proof to support this. No principle however glorious justifies taking someone's life and no matter what the person did or how many people that person killed no human has the right to kill that person.

Why people are crazy for money?

Evnthough neither money will not help at the time of death nor one can take money woth him people are crazy for money. Giving is a state of mind," one can say. "I think it's important to give throughout the year. You see someone who needs something. That's your opportunity to give something. It may cost nothing. It may cost a little. The cost is not a part of the expression, it's the DOING that counts."

Do you think there is destiny OR you make your own future?

When I was little girl I was always thinking that your future is already desided by God..Now I think another way. I think that your future depends on your belief in it. You know,sometimes I feel sad and dont want anything... Life seems worthless for me,it seems like nobody cares about me and I dont see the sense of my life. Everyday is the same routine.It passes a week,two weeks... I still dont see any good changes in my life. But then I think: " Why I'm so sad, why I think nobody cares about me, why I want to have good changes in my life If I don't even believe in them?" I understood that you need to give something good to this world and don't ask it to give anything back. And the miracle happened! I started to trust people,not to judge them, do nt think too much about material things,help people even when you have your own problems.I'm still working on myself and its not easy,but you know Im happier than I was before,It makes me believe in happy future, and Im sure it will come true!
