Yes Obscuritan it also includes that. It is inevitable that there will be more mixed marriage/partnerships. Over a very long period way into the future---a thousand years plus of time, mankind will be shorter in height and we will look similar to asians/arabic. I forgot to include arabic people. I agree with you these people are driven to succeed. They often have many children in their marriages or partnerships.
I believe that all mankind killed him---not just the Jews or the Romans, but all of us, probably because we didn't really believe him or even understand him or even his teachings. In other words we failed.He surpassed time memorial.
I am afraid you are responding to me. Unconditional happiness to me means to reach a level where you can't hurt others and they can't hurt you. When you reach that level you start climbing that ladder. As you know it is not based on materialism.
I agree with you. It is rather scary not to ever communicate with the guy you lived with for 32years. But that is what we agreed to in the court room. Although difficult and it can send you off the rails, it is best to make a clean break and find other ways to fulfill your life.
Why her? Why not him?AA I need lots of friends who encourage me to do my best and make me laugh. Friends who see the worthiness in you even if you yourself don't.I enjoy especially the most ridiculous.
What a beautiful piece of writing,showing your skill of communication Obscuritan!! With your high intelligence and many other virtues/attributes you have developed throughout your life, you have so much to give to the world. I hope you live a long,long time. It is just wonderful that you pointed out the forum to me,since I am new and encourage me to do my best.
What a load of ----- The rich get richer and the poor get poorer in any government. All governments set the increasing spiral costs of living and the poor always suffer----including the Labor government.
I agree with you ---so,so true. However in extreme emotional state our intelligence goes out the window. It is not there at the right time.When we are depressed our intelligence fails us. I feel we need other virtues/attributes that we have developed during our life eg. strong will power, to pull us through dangerous choices that we may make.
I honestly believe that a person with a strong will power combined with other virtues that the person has developed during their lifetime will pull through any difficult situations, including near--deaths.It is the belief that there is something better out there to cling to.These people become such strong character who often do good to others in many ways.
All evidence from the bible suggests that Jesus lived on earth for a short time--approx.32years. He became a great Leader and created a new religion---Christianity, which exists still today.It has surpassed the duration of time. Christianity is also included in our calender---Xmas and Easter. Being such a great person,he was killed by mankind.
We will never know the answer to the question. All we know is that he was a great leader and created a religion that still exists now Christianity!!!! This religion is also included in our present calender---Xmas and Easter. Now isn't that a great achievement for the short time he lived on earth---approx.32years. How many of us can beat that!!!!
I agree with you Obscuritan,the espionage theories are definitely far fetched. It was polluted by the flour and starch factory as the documentary stated. I wonder if the area was cleaned up by the proper authorities. I hope it is cleaned now so that people living in the area do not die.
Thanks to whoever organized this event. It will be fun. I am looking forward to it. I am new to this site and will be glad to see some live people,instead of just photos.
Since we all are searching for happiness in our lives, I would call it ---Unconditional Happiness. Unfortunately this is not the story of my life but what I wish it to be.
I agree with the Darwinian theory of natural selection and evolution. It is still happening today and will continue to happen. I predict that in about a thousand years time, mankind will probably look asiatic because of population explosion and massive migration to other countries from asian countries. This is the story of evolution. Also larger animals will die out and small, nasty animals eg. rats with thrive and increase.
Just recently I watched a dvd about this case. I agree with you, these 2 people died from the poison that you mentioned. I hope that authorities have cleaned the area, so that this incident never happens again.
My family went to Port Melbourne, many years ago, to see a navy ship. After climbing all over the ship, guess who was there in the distance ---John Howard. We could not believe it. He was a very short guy and dressed in a suit with loads of guards around him. He was almost inconspicuous. What a great leader he became for 14years plus. He got Australia out of so much debt.
We all can just get along. It only needs a change of mind and thinking on a higher level. Not base everyday thoughts. Once you reach the higher thinking level your world changes. This is where we start to understand who we really are and how we can help others in unfortunate circumstances/needs. This is how we can get along together as unity of mankind.
It depends on what religion you believe in. Most religions believe in life after death, in a spirit form---not how we look now---in the flesh. We will not need food, etc. I personally believe that you only have this time now to do what you need to do. When we die we turn back into molecules and atoms and probably become part of the atmosphere.
RE: What do you think of the theory of evolution by natural selection, do you think it's correct?
