Even after it's over, so much is usually lost in war. Both sides have lost in a way. So, how can anyone really win a war besides killing more "enemies?"

Is that a reason to be attracted to someone?
If someone is not particularly accomplished, isn't it just 'normal' to be humble? Since they really don't have anything to be cocky about.
Doesn't humility only mean something if you're accomplished and also humble?

I see time in the motion of all things, in the circling of the Moon round the Earth, and the Earth round the Sun, in the blossoming of flower, and then in their withering away, in the comings and goings of the days and nights of our live, in the seasons of our years, and in transitional states of all things natural. I see time stored away in the hearts as emotions of inspiration and gratitude about human conduct, or as feelings of sorrow and sadness.

But I see moments in time as golden mints raining down from silver clouds heavens above, the coins that if you do not seize in the instant they touch the ground would thaw and dissolve to become water, to be gone out of reach, forever.

This is something that honestly goes beyond my understanding. For me, the first day of a new year would be different in southern hemisphere becomes spring comes at a different time. For me spring would be the beginning of a new year because it is the beginning of a new cycle, new life. All the rest of the natural world starts a new cycle of birth and life in spring, why does mankind choose to start a new cycle in the middle of winter in the northern hemisphere and them middle of summer in the southern hemisphere?

Pls explain your A to this philosophy Q. "Explain", in philosophy based on reason, usually means to give reasons in support of your answer.

Background to my Q is this:

It happens alot here. The answerers, I have generically described try to reformulate the Q's by asking Q's that defocus the central idea in the Q. This Q is based on my having asked over 1070 Q's in two years. Is this good Q&A? Is this the kind of Q&A helpful. I would really prefer to limit my Q to Q-askers w/many Q's under their belt(hunter's metaphor), but I will consider well-formed insightful thoughts by intelligent pt-driven answerers. This Q matters to me bec I would like to see Philosophy Q&A improve here & be nontrivial & less distorted than it is. That is my motive ,so no one need speculate about that element which is irrelevant to answering my Q! IMO The Q-asker should never be the subject of the A to the Q .The ideas in the Q are fair game(another hunter's metaphor), but comments re the Q-asker, motives,defects, etc are ad hominem fallacies. Ad hominem attacks are considered, from a logial POV irrelevant & evidence of immature thoughts.
