If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

It's Just the Way We Are
We hole on to things the tightest, when we are force to let them go. We always want things a certain way, when we know they can't be so. Dreams always last the longest, when they are furthest from our reach. And the lessons we can learn the most from, are often the very ones we teach. The grass is always the greenest, when it lies on teh other side, and truths we preach to others, are often those we can't abide. We hold fast to the things in a storm, which are most likely to blow away , And yet we neglected to wear sunscreen on a bright and sunny day. We spend our time trying to see things, when perspecitve is one thing we lack, And we never appreciate what we've got, until we can't get it back. We expec the whole world to give us a break, and yet ironically we'll find, That when others come asking the same of us, we tell them they're out of their mind. We tell everyone what's wrong with this world, adn we do nothing to make it right. We complain about families fallin apart, and yet do nothing to keep them tight. We preach about loving our neighbors, and we teach children fright from wrong. But we never set good examples for them, when real chances come along. We complain about not having enough time in our lives to do what we must do. YEt if we were given more hourse in the day. we'd us up all that too. WE desire to be close to all those we love, yet all too often look on from afar. And when it comes to the truth do we want to change or remain forever the same??

If you believe in the big bang theory...where did that little speck come from to begin with? If not, how did it all start? I know that's an obvious question everyone thinks of, I just happen to be perplexed by it at the moment...

Once you are cognizant that you have a moral obligation to do something, must you justify the doing to someone that does not have that same set of moral credo? Or, should you only pertain to the truth inside your own brain?

This is something I wonder. Why do atheists get offended by God being used if they don't believe in Him? Example, wanting to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, ect.

How will you expand your consciousness adequately so as to get beyond your programming, in order to experience life as an unprogrammed, truly wise/aware and conscious human? :))
