Answer 1

Nothing makes sense anymore. I agree.

Answer 2

the times we live in are confusing sometimes. I like to get away from things if I get the opportunity.

Just think how simple life would have been for those that lived in medeval times. Farmers labourers etc. Are we becoming more connected or less, I wander.

when you view it objectively it's even more insane. The earth formed by a collision with the moon around 5 billion years ago. Then after that, the earths gravity caught the moon in an orbit. And thanks to this, the moon stabalises us and controls the sea and the seasons.

now we know all this, and the human race have only reigned for a few hundred thousand years, compared with the dinosaurs who reigned for about 60 million years. we can now get these facts and figures at the touch of a keypad, thanks to industrialisation, and the birth of the silicon chip.

the human brain is one of the most complex atomic structures known to man. Now it seems with the electronic era, which bought with it the ability to see an atom with enhanced electrons on a screen, and the discovery of chromosones and genes and dna. The earth has become a macrocosmic version of the human brain. with radio waves being sent from one place to the other at 180000 miles per second, the same speed as light.

Humans seem to have reached a pinnacle of their success here on earth. It makes me wander if mankind will still exist in 5 billion years FROM now. I personally don't think so.

Answer 3

It's confusing alright. Another teen boy stabbed to death last night, this time in Islington North London. We've now had more street killings in one week in London than the whole of NYC gets in a single year.

Confused is the operative word.

Answer 4

St. AUGUSTINE, was the first to raise the question "What is Time", in something around 350bce, and if he found Time confusing then. He'd be totally, Gob Smacked Now.
-that means totally confused-

Answer 5

The times we are living in are confusion as they have always been since the dawn of human civilisation. We used to be afraid of thunder and lightening, now we are afraid of bomb blasts and nuclear weapons; we used to hunt, and the same we do now; we used to seek protection of caves, but now we seek protection of our groups, regions, races, cultures, countries, prejudices and values; we had our fears, we have our fears; we had needs, we have our needs. So, what has changed?

We fantasise less; our aspirations are cut short by our realistic understanding of the godless world we live in; our wishes are subjected to our financial considerations; and our beliefs in our cultural and tradition are being sanded down by our interaction with other cultures in a global village; our spiritual values are loosing their hold in our minds as we see that even the in our mind cannot bring about peace and prosperity in this world. We used to be afraid of gods and deities for their anger and wrath, but now we are afraid of ourselves … lest we may destroy ourselves.

Times and the time are always confusion for the mind because they change, time is the change and as it passes it bring into view ever so more new things that the human mind then has to come to terms with, to understand, to interpret and to reconfigure itself for a life that has newer meanings.

But it is all happening faster than ever before; the change is exponential, and not linier as it stayed for thousands of year in the human history. The power of knowledge turned into scientific insightfulness has ushered mankind into and era of information. And the advent of information technology has revolutionised the way people think and do things the world over. There is nowhere remote or isolate in this world; all places are just a press of button away. With nothing to romanticise or fantasise about in the world, we have no other option but look far out into the space for new horizons and for new dreams ensuring us that there has been some meaningfulness attach to our life, and that we are not merely a produce of some earthly accident, that is never to be repeated anywhere in this seemingly alien universe at large.

We are getting confused by the things we know, and this confusion is causing the best our dreams to blur and fade into relative insignificance. Would a promise of paradise motivate you now as it did to the crusaders of the past times?

Answer 6

I don't find the world confusing. The events unfolding and the motives of those responsible are quite clear to me. That only makes it seem all the more appalling, I'm afraid.
I am not confused, but I am dismayed.

Answer 7

not very. until i saw ur helmut which is obviously roman and ur name was most likely chinese and ur complextion kinda reminded me of guadalupe my latin american studies teacher who taught me so much about life and the contagious fury of womanhood that should never be taunted with jello filled brownies. after considering all that ive realized how trapped i've becum in this worlds status quo illusions and as an effort to break free of these paradigms i have signed myself up for "the" operation and no priest, no wife and no acid induced purple seraph will stop me this time!

Answer 8

There is no confusion, I can tell the difference between corruption and purity.
I'm in no way confused about what is negative and what is positive, when I seek out positive intentions, they arrive in my daily reality.

Answer 9

Not at all.

It is fashionable to hate on humanity as it is now. But that's just what it is, fashionable. Humans are no worse or better than they were 100 or 1,000 years ago.

They just have more capability, and we hear about it more.
