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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Sleep is an interesting anomaly. I think dreams are humans’ outlets to different planes of existence. We are more alive on a more “soul” level. Another thought I find interesting, is that possibly dreaming is existence for our souls. Therefore, when our souls sleep, we are awake. It’s like a symbiotic relationship between ourselves and […]
As corny as it sounds, I really think that the person that is able to understand what you feel, is the person that you were meant to share that feeling with. I saw Alex talk about feelings being hardwired and I think that makes sense. Maybe what I’m talking about is the idea of soulmates. […]
I feel like there is no way for people to truly understand what people mean when they explain certain complex emotions. Some, however, are quite easy to understand and I think this is what creates part of this relationship that we feel with other people. We may not know much about someone, but when they […]
Reality is a really ambiguous statement. I’m going to say that one needs acknowledgment to exist… unless they aren’t acknowledged. That may not make sense, but that is my exact problem with reality. One doesn’t feel meaningful without acknowledgment, but is that to say they don’t exist? One absolutely needs a counterpoint, but that counterpoint […]
