There is a saying that what one can imagine one can also achieve.
What sort of idea or imagination do you have, as ridiculous or utopic it might sound, which you would like to bring into reality.

Are the individuals important or the larger organisations important or the holistic better Cause is important ?

Can an individual be sacrificed for a better cause of a smaller society? Can a soceity be sacrificed for a better cause for a larger section or society ? Can smaller organisations be sacrificed for the better causes of a Larger Organisation ? Can a Large Organisation be sacrificed for a better cause for the whole Nation ? Can a Nation be sacrificed for the Better Cause of the Whole World ?

Can this be a reverse process also like the Whole World can be sacrificed for the better cause of the few sections ?

Who determines the Better Cause ? Is it the Majority ? Can the Majority be always Right ?

Are there eternal holistic Values in this world, for which everything else can be sacrificed for a Greater Better Cause for a Better Existence in Future even with fewer people ?

Do you find that the average human being has a tendency to always try to justify someone Else's achievements or successes as a fruitless goal?

When someone is richer, prettier,smarter, has a bigger house a nicer wife etc. even when you are missing an arm they are envious if you have something or someone worthwhile, why do you think that this is?

I am aware of the Latin Fable essentually saying that the wolf wanted desperately and tried his hardest to reach the grapes on the tree (vine) and when he couldn't do so he said that he hated grapes.
Have you noticed this too, if so when and in what situation?

In an argument, when does one have the right to cross the line of agreeing to disagree and stating his opinion as the only correct one; obviously if there are facts to back that up. But what is the minimum strength required to establish these facts as solid enough to turn one's opinion from a mere opinion into THE correct opinion? And should someone still disagree even if he is shown incontrovertible facts against his argument. Also, should one accept that the facts someone else is claiming in an argument are true just because that person claims so- or should one ask for verification before continuing the argument (or for that matter should he not take them into consideration at all!?)

I recently watched bits and pieces of Pleasantville-I flipped past it after watching about 30 seconds of it thinking that it was another 40-50's movie depicting the world as a utopia. However I soon realized that this was exactly what the movie was speaking against, the main message being that we need to open up to new ideas and give up our conservative ways. I really liked the color differences that showed a character attaining multicolor when he or she opened up to the world.

What movies have strong messages that are similar to this?

I just saw the Yahoo News headline, "San Francisco Zoo considered a crime scene after tiger attack," and was wondering, ...'Isn't it always?'

A few hundred years ago, in this country, we allowed &even encouraged the exploitation of entire ethnicities of people, simply because of what amounted to language barriers.

As our research capabilities evolve, they are revealing amazingly advanced levels of intelligence, ingenuity, and interaction amongst many different species of animals.
So why, when we realize other animals' import in their own families & communities, do we kidnap & hold them captive, in environments only anemically resembling their native ones?

Consider how you would you like it if you were randomly trapped, taken away from everything dear & familiar to you, & put on display for the edutainment of a species, who had other means of examining our species?
'How inhumane are we willing to be, in the name of arrogance?

what would it be? Why would you change the decision? How do you think your life might have changed if you had made a different decision?

This is a decision you made, not one that someone else made.

Do we not notice but in a way before someone passes away they say good bye to us. However, we only notice after the facts have happened. With this I mean things such as them saying meaningful things and saying bye in a way they never have. We just don't seem to interpret it right. Do you agree or disagree?

Of course normal is a subjective term, but how come we have never seen zombies? Or an alien invasion? A robot takeover, scanners, monsters, dragons, time travel, etc. you get my point. When I was younger my parents would tell me that it was because god would not allow it, but there are other horrible things that god does allow. If there is no god then why hasnt any of the things mentioned above happened?

I've heard plenty of people say that to truly live you've got to die while you're alive. I understand it in theory, but could you elaborate on how one might do this? Thanks.

1. Please tell me your name for it, if you have one--i.e., enlightenment, self-realization, union with God, etc.

2. Please describe, briefly or otherwise, your conception of what such a state is like.
