Ciao!

An AP article regarding Mr. Hawking's question drew me in.

I want to say that I think it's spectacular that nearly 17,000 people have answered so far. What I am concerned for is the overwhelming pessimism from the majority of the answers.

Here is (are) my question(s):

Do we really live in a time when hope is fleeting and the world is becoming blind to the beauty of mystery? Is the human race or, at least, western culture more pessimistic now than in the past? Do we truly believe that we are doomed? If so, why do we feel this way?

The rest will never be heard and don't mean anything to anyone outside of a small circle.

born with the sexual feelings and orentations that they have, would that mean that pedophiles are also born with their sexual preferences? If we allow homosexual marriage, will that not soon lead to someone demanding to have the right to be allowed to marry a child?

Americans are used to use a lot of energy resources but the Chinese only use a very small amount. There are also Russians, Europeans, Azians, Midle Eastern, Africans and South Americans who use energy but not that big amount. And there are many more people who use not enormous big energy resources to make life afordable. I do not have any numbers but it is concerning me. For example: why Amercans are not used to drive a bicycle that much as the way they do in Hongkong, Kopenhagen or Amsterdam?

A riddle i made, lets see if anyone can figure it out

Riddle

Life can cause me
I am 2
Combining to 1
I am warm
I am cold
A duty
A fault
I am a matter of course
I am often sold dear
When sold
I am good for none
An extraordinary boon
I is
Like not staring
gawking at the moon
But I yield of pleasure
When taken by force.
But I can cause
The end of life
What am I?
