We need to start maximizing our brain's use... using 100% of it instead of the lousy 5 or 10 or 20% that we use!!
I wanna learn to levitate, heal and do complex weather predictions in my head ;)
Until I can use 100% of my brains power, im S.O.L. :D |

Nope, I have all the answers. I get depressed 'cause I can't always act on my knowledge... sorry if that makes me look like a smart ass.

Please to note, the whole "we only use 10% of our brain" thing is a myth. While it is true that at any given moment our brain is not utilizing anywhere near 100% of it's capacity that only applies to that moment. Currently you may be using 10% of your brain, however, in 5 minutes you may be using a different 10% of your brain. Totalling all the functions of your brain and what parts of the brain are used for what functions it is plausable that our entire brain is used and necessary (I say plausable because we do not yet have enough knowledge of the brain's functioning to determine what all areas of the brain are used for). |

for sakes.
i decided to bring this thread back to life coz im getting more pissed off at the world. i know that ill never get the answers i seek, but im angry at the way life operates. everyday i see people suffering, i cant turn on my television without hearing about hundreds of people that have died in a non natural way.
just recently it has become some sort of trend to have massacres at schools. the situation in the middle east doesnt seem to be getting anybetter, the poor are still getting poorer and the rich are still getting richer. the world is running out of natural resources and we are creating a waste land for future generations.
i know there is alot of good in the world and i do see it; but it would be ignorant of me to turn my eyes away from the not so pretty things.
, i dont know where im going with this. i guess i just felt like letting off some steam. forgive me for awakening this dreadful thread. |

I don't have any advice or support to offer, but just a cyber hug.
I have definitely felt that frustration before, I just didn't really know how to deal with it. Hope you feel better. It's good you allowed yourself to let off some steam. Even though, it is on a messageboard. |

Awareness doesn't need to be making your daily existence so torturous or frustrating though.
As an individual you have to focus on the things that you can change, and accept those that you can't.
The existence of suffering in the world is heartbreaking, but not new. |

Good post.
Don't take on all the troubles of the world on yourself, esp. since you can't do anything about a lot of them.
This world is a world of tears. |

#1 people that die dont suffer.
#2 dont look at the news cuz that jus makes you angry and depressed... they dont report possitive things
#3 enjoy the simple things in life like family, love, friends, music, fresh air, and once in a while a joint!
i also have all these questions and theories about life, i am totaly lost in this world and dont agree with the way of life tht todays society has. But is till go to school, i work when i need $$$.. What can you do.. jus learn to enjoy those moments where you forget about all the problems |

just coz you accept something does not mean you have to like it. i have accepted that there is suffering in the world, but ill never be happy about it. i think acceptence is what makes me so gratefull that im not in an unfortunate situation myself.
yes skipper, i agree that suffering is nothing new, but is it something that mankind fuels. coz right now it seems as if thats what we are doing. its not as if we dont know how to end suffering, its coz there are individuals that choose not to end it, and like i said the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, thats the way it has always worked and thats the way it will always work unless there are radical things that will be done. but even if these so called radical things are done, it would result in alot of blood shed coz those that are having it good now wont give up what they have without a fight. |

no offense, but you are in no position to say people that die dont suffer, NO ONE knows what happens after death.
as for enjoying joints, hahaha, i used to be a big pot head, resulted in me thinking too much, so i quit that habbit. |

i dont smoke either... im jus saying that those are the simple things in life that help you enjoy your self. There cant realy be a change in our society, there will never be total freedom. The only way is chaos but that will not end suffering it will jus redistribute it to everyone.. so no rich or poor, everyone will be jus a human trying to survive.
it would be s very chatic world but only like that can someone forget about all the ills that our modern society has tought us and raised us with. I feel bad for people who believe that a new car will make them happier. You should be happy where you are, just happy to BE in general.
If you set too many goals you are not happy until you achieve them, and then once you do u must set new goals, and once again not be happy till you get there. Its an endless cycle.. thts how i see it atleast.
just be happy with life and not with materials |
