This is similar to our Emotions? post, but what is it that drives humans to mate for life? To chain themselves to only one other person for eternity? It is something that is almost completely specific to human beings. Very few other animals on Earth mate in such a definitive way. So why are we […]
I honestly think that what causes people like superstars to capture the hearts and attention of the world is just publicity. The new media of the day. Another question could be, what were the ratios of “extraordinary” people hundreds of years ago? In the days before television, radio, and newspapers.
What should define true greatness is […]
What makes people “extraordinary”? How are those people different from “ordinary” people? Is a basketball star really that much better a person than your “average joe”?

Maybe it’s just me, but Carpe Diem is a phrase I have heard over and over again, and not thought about once. I don’t think enough people actually think about this. They say, “Oh yeah, I’ve heard that. I should do that.” It ends there. Not enough people actually latch on to something they want […]
Seize the day? This is something I have probably heard every day of my life. Yet, I never really thought about what this means until now. Have you? What is seizing the day to you? Do enough people actually follow through? Why?

Since this one isn’t my question, I feel a little bit justified in answering with a question of my own. How come this “elusive black sheep” is considered a bad thing in our society? People talk about what a bad thing peer pressure is, teach there kids not to give in, and pretty much count […]
Why is it that humans in general have such undeniable needs to please one another? Genetically, physically, and even personality-wise, most humans are totally singular and unique. So then why is it that people strive to ACT exactly alike? How can humans, who count ourselves as rulers of the world, be regularly and plainly compared […]
I agree with Saular in that people are a reset button for nature, but I think of it from a little different view. Think of a forest that on occasion has to be burned in order for new life to grow and prosper. I feel like humans are just that on a larger scale and […]
I think of sleep from a more scientific approach, that it is just the body’s way of recharging. However dreams are still very mysterious and quite unexplainable in this way. What I think is that in the recharging process the brain tries to absorb all the stimulation that it received throughout the day and decide […]
Balance is a contradiction of itself. I believe that human beings ourselves, are the source of chaos. We are the anomaly, the contradictory element. Humans throw Nature out of whack and because of the nature of balance, we are necessary.
Please don’t think me cynical or anti-human, both make no sense. Also, I, in no way, […]
