When there is no wind, and not much is moving what do you see? Is the flow surrounding you or is it within you?

When I listen to this song... Bliss, by Muse (Link in Edit), I imagine the person he sings about, who is oh so happy and perfect...

But this perfect happiness, is it possible?

I always had it in my head that no one is truly happy- Underneath those smiling masks is a great deal of pain and sorrow being supressed...

But, there are generally people who are really happy. These people... must be very ignorant then? Ignorant of the world around them... of all the wrong in the world, all the pain and suffering of those around...

I guess I am just envious. I am 18, I stopped feeling that true happy feeling many years ago. When the veil of childhood was lifted from my eyes, I started seeing things for what they were, a world that isn't so perfect.

This is just a rant. But the main thing I am saying is...

To be really happy, takes a great amount of ignorance, even if you arn't aware of it...

Do you agree?

Being a musician is a lonely existence. Musicians are traditionally regarded as the pawns in the commercial world of music entertainment. However, when "fans" decide to rip off a bands music as oppose to buying it out-right it really puts the musician at even more of a disadvantage. I'm not completely innocent myself... That being said, I feel that we are a world of freeloaders, (myself included) but that doesn't mean we don't feel bad about it in retrospect. Why would we pay for something if it's dangling in front of us with a big red tag that says: I'm convenient, I'm free, and no one will ever know that you indulged in petty lawlessness. How do we fix this?

Why is it considered trendy to deny God? Why do some like to be atheists or pagans or believe that they are intellectually beyond God? Why do those who assert that there is no proof of God's existence fail to point out that nor is there proof that God does not exist?

If I said the following:

The anus is a one way valve

You will be deployed tomorrow

Don't ask don't tell

Did you assume I was talking about

Homosexual acts

Iraq

Being gay in the military

The question is:

How do your preconceptions about what is meant by a question slant your answer.

Why do we tell legends and spread rumors when they most likely not true?

I've read through the other answers to this same question, but what I have not seen people think about is the fact that there is no absolute darkness within the known universe, and no absolute silence on the earth. If these things do not exist on earth, why are there names for them? And if we ever experienced absolute darkness or silence, would our senses that interpret these things just shut off because they have always been stimulated by sound and light? It just makes me wonder. Or maybe we would just implode? And by the way in space astronauts still hear sounds in their helmets so dont say that sort of thing. And in a completely silent room, you hear your heart beat... Does this mean if you leave it will be silent? you could never experience true darkness or silence I dont think. I envy blind and deaf people for this, as much as they envy us for or senses. And by no means do I take my senses for granted, I just wonder what it's like.

In a part of the world where we are all told to want more of what "life has to offer"; the car, the house, the personal computer etc.- it is easy to feel 'poor'.

In the global context (as a % of world population) we are all near the top when it comes to personal wealth, even if our bank accounts are always empty.

So do you feel rich? Do you ever feel grateful for the things you have?
