I read this story in a course that I took in college and I really liked it. I've looked in my text books, and searched online and I can't find it anywhere. It was a course on the Sacred Texts of the world, and I believe that it was in the Hindu texts, but it was definately in a text from that part of Asia. It went somethinglike this- There was a man and his cow ran away, and everyone said how unlucky he was and he said, "Maybe I'm unlucky, maybe I'm not" and then the cow came back, and everyone said how lucky he was and he said "Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm not." And then it went on like that for awhile with all those things happening like that. I would like a link to it, or if you could tell me the whole story, I'd love it. And I'd love it more if you could tell me where it came from.

Does it seem likes it more imporant to participate in the sort of mindless groupthink we call "policitcal correctness" than it is to work things out logically in your own mind? Has the concept of truth gone by the wayside as a result of this? Do you ever feel like you're in the twilight zone or some Orwellian nightmare?

I feel really unhappy in my marriage, my husband is hard to talk to, and sometimes i get frustrated and lose my temper(i try but it is hard no to shout sometimes), i always feel i come second best, and that he never considers my feelings. He only goes to the pub once a week, but he has started to stay later and later,he also goes on lads weekends away twice a year, he really gets angry with me if i question him. He is never keen to do anything with me though. He is not Christian, so he doesnt share my views on porn, etc(which he is also fond of). I always thought my Husband would be my best friend, and would really care for my feelings- but he usually tells me i am over reacting and smirks at me or just says i am pathetic when i try and talk to him. Our love life is ok, but i want to be more to him than that. I am fed up of feeling lonely. I dont want to divorce, but i already feel like a single parent sometimes! I know it will never be perfect, but cant it be more than this?

ships. After dinner he let out a loud belch after the ship had sounded its horn. He (laughingly) said it was a double welcome for us passengers. Was it a joke or rudeness? what should we have done? we were simply shocked and couldn't reply.

Why is this proof that Muhammad couldn't make anything up?

Why should we belive him and not Joseph Smith by the way? or David Koresh?

What do they have in common? they are a single point of failure, one man no witnesses no proof.

Evil people do not ALWAYS get good things in life, neither do good people always get bad. Time and chance happen to everyone (ecclesiastes 9:11) and the rain falls on the just and the unjust (Matt.5:45). Life is 10% circumstances and 90% attitude - Charles Swindoll.

One group, loves me. Second group, just doesn't like me. I can't understand it what are they missing that the first group gets.

A third group is going to say I don't know who you are. Wait 48 hours and you'll find out.

Well, this question is for anyone who would know: is Costa Rica going to win today? How are you celebrating? (example, what dishes do you eat for a celebration, what is your favorite drink, etc.)

One more question: will you please give me the words to the Costas Rican National Anthem? I would like to know at least the name and the first stanza and chorus. Thank you.

Since there is evidence that Muhammad borrowed other religious material when writing the Quran, the Quran is invalidated as being pure revelation from God. Wouldn't that make the Quran a deception and Muhammad an impostor?

An idea is just that, but when you can get others to believe in that idea, it becomes an idea in progress no matter how many mistakes the idea causes, because the goal of the idea is the completion of the idea, staying steadfast to the idea and without regard of the nonbelievers points of view, because other than the idea itself are wrong and meaningless even if the idea is in need of change . As the idea evolves it answers for itself or answers can be found to answer itself, therefore casting any nonbeliever of the idea out of the idea and therefore the nonbeliever have no right to share in the completion of the idea, unless they are saved by the idea, therefore everyone is given a chance to believe in the idea. Regardless if the idea is true or not has no meaning, for the believer is sold into the idea and any mistakes of the idea is placed on mankind because it is mankind that is causing harm not the idea .
