The biggest mystery.

[G-Lexington]

I don't find it a mystery, really.

If you roll a die, you'll get a number. I don't question why the three came up - that's just what came up. That's what I got. So I move ahead three spaces.

I'm me because I had to be somebody, and somebody had to be me. So here I be.

No mystery for me.

don't think too much like that. How about ants or rats could become human?

I have always thought Chrissy Hynde has one of the best voices in Popular music along side Annie lennox and all those Great black diva powerhouses (Chaka et al)

Chrissie Hynne is simply fantastic. i was lucky enough to see in concert 3 times.
i love my rock chicks

If you woke up tommorow and you were in Somalia lying next to a fat blonde woman that wouldn't suprise you.

In fact I can think of very few things more frightening than waking up as a defenseless child next to Sally Struthers in the middle of Somalia without a ready supply of Twinkies in sight.

>>>The die is inanimate and doesn't experience being three.

But that's what I rolled. I experienced getting a three. I might've wished for a six, but I got a three.

Yes, there's an infinite number of possibilities for me to be. But as a human being, it stands to reason that I'm going to be one of them. And the one I am is the one I am. I don't know if it's fate or God or karma that made me me, but that's who I am, and that's the person I'm using to get through life.

In the end, we're all just living and breathing organisms that are born, live a life, then die. I think people place too much emphasis and value on what it means to be a human being when there really isn't that much to say about us other than we have a little more complicated brain patterns than other animals.

I personally think it's arrogant of us to think we're superior to all other forms of life and that our life means something special.


Sorry, I'm in a rather agitated mood. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

 

[G-Lexington]

Yes, I can't experience life through your eyes or anyone else's. I may not see things precisely as you, but the vast majority of humans experience things in similar ways. Most people like the feel of light warmth, for instance, but aren't crazy about sticking their feet into an open flame. Our shared (and agreed upon) experiences far outweigh the differences.

And when it comes to the differences, unlike other animals (or dice), I can empathize. I can say "I like X, but I can understand (or accept that fact) that you do not." Especially when there are factual reasons behind our differing attitudes. If you've been caught in several tornadoes, you'd probably be more likely to be skittish when "potential tornado weather" hits, whereas I would not. But this difference is understandable to both of us. Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto.

Its interesting that you use the term we.
I'm talking about the reality of the individual experience its unfathomability.

you can't really safely talk on someone else's behalf about their individual experiences.

But I know that modern biology treats us like objects to study and pick apart telling us what we think and feel and why we do things.

frightening.

"We" as a species and as the collective whole of our species more or less, on average, define ourselves as above that of other animals because we have advanced brains. Thus we are taught from birth, more or less, that we are each an individual and special when we're really just another member of a species just going about our life.

Individual experiences? One ant walks across a log and another walks across a leaf to get to the same food source, but are they really any different when they have the same goal in mind and the same ending?

Honestly, there's too many levels of the human brain to rationalize this.

 

[PreTTy PeTe]

sure, can we believe u ?

well if you go to the chat i posted a pic of myself
just as the boys there

 

[Pushover]

I was never taught that I was above other animals. We are simply different. That is just self evident from our societies and interactions.

I was treated with violence as a child.. on what level was that people making me have a superiority complex.

If humans were more aware of their genuine uniqueness then there would plausibly be less hate crime and predjudice in general.

Need I mention Hitler's vegetarianism?

The ants had different paths, but still ended up in the same place with the same goal in mind.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just expressing my opinion.

And yes, if we were more unique and accepted that there'd be less prejudice, but that's another habit of humanity; categorizing ourselves into groups in thinking that we're different from each other when we're really just the same people with different experiences. Once people realize that we're all just the same, there wouldn't be any prejudices, either, or the need to classify ourselves separately.
