I just witnessed the most beautiful scene of a motion picture in the World. Kahlan killed Richard and what Richard said before he died, and the way he said it, gave me that inexplicably satisfying feeling of fantasy. And a quick thought came to my mind. HOW CAN SOMEONE CANCEL THIS SHOW? Watch idiots swap their girlfriends and boyfriends on One Three Hill (7 FU**ING seasons), watch rich kids and their problems in the OC (4 seasons of pure c**p), not to begin with c***py sitcoms. Yeah, why watch how tears turn to magic stones and love reigns over evil, when there's another medical drama on . It's not like there aren't a few thousand of those. And it's got 3 seasons. WHAT THE F**K?! All you Americans, who prefer this over Legend Of The Seeker, enjoy being second to Europe... in everything. And I hope someone takes control over cool TV shows now that the World doesn't like you anymore.
As we grow up and become adults, many things change. OK, so why are there hormones that make us want to have sex and why do they have such enormous impact on our lives? If romantic love is what keeps a couple together to raise a child, and if it is the best form of interaction two human beings can be a part of, why does sexual desire exist? Answer: Instincts of living creatures serving the most important purpose of all – to continue the existence of our race. The more you f**k, the more children are likely to appear.
I wish there were a button that temporarily turns off this sexual desire. I bet the rate of spiritual and intellectual growth will increase twice or more then.
It is how we are programmed. We stay at some place for too long, and we start feeling a little unhappy. The longer we stay, the more unhappy we become. Hunters and Gatherers were nomads. They lived in the Golden Age of human history and they were, as it is believed, the happiest people ever to walk the Earth. Changing locations leads to new experiences, which stay in our memory, giving us the impression of living a productive life. Thus, we become happier.
To stay somewhere for, let's say, eighteen years, is to learn how to ignore strong feelings. I don't know since when people live at one place for their whole lives, but this definitely made us an unhappy race of creatures.
No matter what amount of knowledge we posses, there's nothing we can do to completely exclude the possibility of a superior creature creating life. I'm going to try, though.
If there is a God, he had been created along with everything else after the Big Bang. Yes, or if you suggest the opposite, then how did someone create everything out of nothing, and how the hell this someone even existed when nothing else existed? Even if God is a force and not something constructed of chemical elements, he still has to somehow interact with the material in order to create things. You can guess where this is going. The Universe was not created by a God, because it is made of everything that is and will be. God, especially if some form of thinking creature, must be a part of the Universe. So, there it is - God was made during the Planck epoch, together with the first particles.
This makes God something like us. A part of the cold black cosmos. So he found a way to make elements heavier and thus, he made us. Found the perfect planet, put water on its red inhospitable surface, and boom! Oh wait a minute... He made a few billion creatures first that had nothing to do with us. He started with little organisms to see how that life thing would go. Apparently he wasn't very pleased, because he bombed the planet several times and killed most of its population. Then we appeared – another stage of evolution, probably not the highest... And we just had to find something to blame for our existence.
Every single society throughout the human history follows some form of religion. From hunters and gatherers to Wall Street brokers, people need something to unify them. Read sociology books on this subject, and you'll understand.
HOWEVER, there are several things that must be pointed out. Like the lack of answers to most of the big questions. What triggered the Big Bang? Is life following some sort of pattern or is it completely random - just several events that led to our appearance? Those are questions we won't be able to answer for a really long time. Or never. So... I'm not saying there is a God..., but there might be something. In fact, who knows, maybe there are infinite number of Universes and dimensions. How about that, ah? Does God seem big next to that?
Just ate 250g of candy.
There's no job in my town.
There's no theater.
No bands come.
There's no good source of entertainment.
You think this is somehow compensated by warm people who stay together all the time and have fun?
NO!
People here are colder than in a big city.
They're unhappy.
They're really boring.
I hate my hometown and, with all my heart, hope it burns. The good thing, the thing that helps me breath, is the fact that the mine this town has been relying on for hundreds of years, will soon have no more copper in it. By 2020 no people will stay here and FINALLY the place will die. A more spectacular ending would be of bigger interest to me, though. Something that involves everyone dying a painful death.
