But if he wants to prove himself - I can drink a coffee with him and see what he has to say and show.
People are unhappy and superficial and they are looking for a fast salvation and fast self-realization. That's why all these new age spiritual books are so popular. They don't require any effort or critical thinking and give temporary hope and meaning to life. That's a good way to earn money very quickly, but you have to be a very immoral person.
I also hope one day we'll be able to transfer our consciousness and memories into an artificial body (of a human android for example) so we can choose the body we like and - live forever.
Someone can 'steal' your photo from Facebook on any other social network and if someone took your photo ANYWHERE (on a party, in the street...) he can use it. You can't protect yourself from that. So, there's no use to be paranoic.
Me too. Humans are all the same. They are different on the surface only, but deeper you go, more similar they are. I hope aliens will come soon and make this world a more interesting place. I've always wanted a turquoise one with big ears and horns.
Actually I don't know these feet/inches measures and have to search for a converter on the internet when I need to discover the right meaning. I guess 164cm is something like 5feet 4,5 inches or something similar.
Since I'm 164cm tall I think it's not much to ask for a man to be at least 10cm taller than me. I'd never be with a man shorter than myself, no matter what other qualities he has.
But you'll meet smokers only and non-smokers will avoid you. Since there are more and more non-smokers nowayads, you'll have a very limited choice. Don't start smoking again.
I read the books of Hermann Hesse when I was in a high school and liked them a lot. I think his books are great for high school children who start asking questions about the world and themselves, to prepare them for a real journey.
You can now continue your 'new-age' fun with Richard Bach. He's definatelly my favourite.
Emotions aren't always triggered by thoughts. However some are happening far before we even realize that we're feeling. Good book on the subject: 'Emotional Intelligence' by Daniel Goleman.
When we grow up we start to rationalize, supress and control emotions often in a very wrong way. Especially in our western culture where Mind is God. We adore our reason, logical thinking and ability to analize and explain everything. Many people don't get in contact with their feelings, don't learn to understand them and to deal with them in a creative way. And they feel miserable and unsatisfied, have bad relationships with others and don't know why.
Of course it hurts US for losing something WE love, but it doesn't make a feeling less important or valuable.
Love can be seen as a selfish act as anything else, but 'real love' actually makes a person less selfish, because (s)he must to 'step out' a little from his (her) egocentric point of view if (s)he wants to feel love. You cannot be narcissistic and love at the same time. So, love is healthy for everyone - the one who loves and the one who is loved.
People think of many different things when they talk about love.
I think it's enough to see a child crying when (s)he loses something/someone (s)he loves. It's a completely natural reaction. I guess we all remember how we felt when we lost something (or someone) we loved when we were children. I don't know why it becomes immature and shameful reaction later.
We're bored in life so we play games with ourselves and other people to make it more fun. Some of those games are dangerous and serious, other dramatic and full of strong emotions, but they are always fun. You can stop any time.
That's why I'm very distant, cold and reserved when I reply to people whose profiles say something like 'I'm hopelessly romantic person' with written lyrics of some romantic song. I know they'll be disappointed sooner or later when they realize that I don't share their interests.
I prefer relaxed and positive men who can make me laugh.

The film is great. You should see it.
