In Response to one of Nicole's questions...

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?
