She asked the question, "What do you think about the supernatural world?, are we being tricked?, is there something else really out there?"
I believe that there is something beyond human conceptions like the supernatural world. I don't think were being tricked, it's just that the supernatural world is very difficult to understand because it brakes all the natural laws and orders of things. I believe that there is something out there its just hard to actually discover it for yourself. The ideas of ghosts, and other magical creatures and ideas are very illusional to people, especially in today's societies because most people think that there just part of fairy tale fiction and myths because people don't normally see ghosts and other supernatural things around often.
If you had a choice to live in a supernatural world, would you be curious enough to live in it?

My view on Human Nature...
I believe that humans survive on whatever they can to live a good life. Having family and friends makes it easier and better for humans to survive knowing that they have others they can trust and count on. Humans live and survive for many of the same and similiar reasons. Even though humans all have different goals in life, they all live to have a good life, wanting good health, education, relationships, and money. People want to have someone by their side instead of being alone so therefore, having any kind of attention is definitely in our nature some how. I believe it's in our nature to discriminate against others who are different. No matter how good a society may be humans will always judge people on their looks, beliefs, personalities, sexuality and religion. Even though some may not intentionally do, they some how do it anyway.
Living a good life in this world is very difficult for many people. Do you think that there will ever be a world peace for everyone to have a good life?

Response to one of Laura's questions...
Laura asked the question, "Would you like to live forever?"
This is a question I've encountered sooo many times in my life and the answer is yes.. I would want to live forever. It'd be sooo cool to be able to be young and good looking and to be able to have fun forever. I think it would be great to see how advanced technology would become and if the earth changes in any way. I know that even the earth has it's limits so I'd be extremely cool if technology got soo advance that humans were able to somehow fly to another planet avoiding earth's destruction. That would be amazing if that would happen and be able to acually live through it and since I would be able to live forever the changes on the new planet wouldn't effect me. So therefore, I'm all about living forever..I'm already freaked out that I'm eventually gonna get old and die some day..maybe I can be turned into an android..haha.
Some people see "living forever" as a curse rather than a gift, why do you think this is so?

Hinduism...The World's Oldest Religion.
This past week, our class has been talking about Hinduism and Buddhism. I didn't know much about these religions til it was brought up. I learned that Hinduism is the world's oldest religion and that came about in India. It deals with the ideas that people believed in reincarnations, a cycle of births and deaths and when one dies they are reborn into another form of life depending on their standards of their mortal life. It's like when someone good dies they are reincarnated into another being or a high leveled animal like a bear or lion. If someone bad dies, it is believed that they'll get reborn into a lower leveled animal or living thing such as a bug or a plant. This is a never ending cycle that is part of the Hindu's beliefs.
If you had the option to be reborn into something other than a human after you died, what would it be and why?

A response to one of Nicole's questions...
She asked the question, "Why is it so hard for some people and so easy for others to remeber their dreams? Does practice really make it any easier or is it just a predetermined thing?
One of my opinions is that it just depends on the person whether its hard or easy for one to remeber their dreams. There's a few variables involved like genetics, its possible that your family might carry a gene for someone to remember a dream easier than another. Another variable is a person's health. A person's health may determine if it's easier for them to remember dreams. If someone is relatively healthy they may have an easier time remembering dreams. If a person does drugs, has a lack of nutrition, a disability or has problems in any other area of health may effect them trying to even have dreams let alone trying to remember dreams.
Another opinion is that I mostly believe that it really is just a predetermined thing. I really don't think practicing how to remember your dreams will help any, infact I don't even think it's possible to have any type of method in practicing remembering your dreams. I believe that there is something beyond nature itself that allows certain people remember their dreams easier than others.
If you had the power to life in a dream-like world, would you want to live in it instead of living in the "real world"?

Humans versus Nature...
This week in class, we started a new topic about Darwin and his theories and ideas. I thought it was a little surprising to hear that Darwin was part of human nature topics because I thought that he was all about science. Darwin was known for his ideas in science that attached to nature of things. The big things that he was known for was his theory of evolution and natural selection by nature. I'ts pretty interesting how they connect with human nature because with the theory of evolution, people have definely changed over the years due to adaption with the different living styles we all live in. About natural selection, it determines on alot of peoples actions towards the world for people to make a good living. In class we were talking about how humans are taking over and sort of controlling nature. This is because people now a days are using highly advance scientific ways to influence with nature by cloning, using machines instead of doing things naturally, there are alot of ideas going around about artificial intelligence which could definetly change the world. Also, people are discovering ways for exploring space in which space is not part of our world so therefore tangles with human nature, and scientists are already using bio-technology to change the traits of animals, as well as scientist are studying more about atoms to use for other incredible unnatural possibilities.
Do you think that people will ever go back to the simpler ways of life or do you think that humans will continue the never ending cycle of advanced technology and other incredible ideas..?

In response to one of Laura's questions...
She asked, "What would you do the last day of your life?"
Me...well the last day of my life I would gather all my family members I ever met across the U.S. and my very best friend and throw an enormous party for all of us to be together and have fun on the last day of my life. Family and friends are really important to me so I'd want to spend the last day celebrating with them. There would probably be around 100 people plus kids because I have a large family and I'd take the time to know each and every one of them as we all party. I can picture this happening at my Aunt Mary's Mansion to hold all the people and there would be tons of exotic foods and games and everybody would be nicely dressed as if it was a christmas party. I remember alot of times when I was young, my family would have huge celebrations and I'd be too shy to meet some family I never met before so thats why that this event would be very important for me to have on the last day of my life.
Life seems sooo short sometimes especially when we start to grow up. If you had the opportunity to pick an age in your life to stay at forever, what would it be?
