"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." It might be true in some cases, but not all the time. Words can hurt. Maybe not physically, but they still can. Why do you think people use insults (intentional or unintentional)? What is the goal, purpose? To lower the o...

I don't think there are limits. Perhaps one's own ego. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about failing though. If you are methodical and self-critical and learn from your mistakes, you are on the right path and the mistakes you have done will serve their purpose. We should all keep in mind ...

A reactor that produces energy by fusing nickel and hydrogen nuclei at room temperature. Fascinating... I really hope this E-cat is for real. Well, it has to be since it was granted a patent in April, and is expected to be on the market this fall. But is it really that cheap? We shouldn't forget tha...

Each of us is unique: we have a unique set of fingerprints, unique DNA (not even identical twins are completely the same), no one has ever lived your specific life and no one ever will. Every aspect of my daily life, thoughts, words, views, moods, facial expressions, parents, people I know, are comp...

I don't think the OP was not talking about a "law against rape", but rather about the consequences when violating, that is going against, breaking the law. At least that is what I understood. On one hand I believe that everybody should obey the laws, because most of them are made to protec...

I personally hate liars and lies in general. I hate it when I am lied to, that is why I try to lie as little as possible and prefer to avoid the situations when I can't be honest and can't tell the truth. I prefer to know the truth, even if it is painful or offensive. I will get over it, just don't ...

I am an atheist, and i think all of this Heaven-hell is all from a man's mind. In my opinion, we created god, we created religion. I mean, we have to find SOME explanation to things we cannot explain (yet), so we create an explanation instead, and build it on faith. Those who had clinical deaths and...

The One Question is about finding your purpose,what you love to do the most, live with passion, searching for what gives your life meaning. Having a purpose in your life is almost like a spiritual experience. The One Question helps you find the The Meaning of Life, and answer to the one question we ...

In my opinion there is no difference between animal abuse any child abuse. Abuse is abuse. Period. I think though that child and animal maltreatment do not merely co-exist, but are “linked”. The existence of animal cruelty in a family may be an indicator that children in that family are similarly at...

There are a number of reasons why people kill. Mostly sociopaths who don't receive the proper care they need, I would guess. But then again... The justification in war is sanction by the larger group, for the good of the group. It's exactly the same motivation as in gang warfare, or criminal conspir...

Here is a beautiful quote from David Harkins. Hope it brings some consolation: “You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you c...
