I just have a few questions to ask. I'm asking them to myself, you, and the rest of the world.
1. Are laughter and happiness the same?
2. Is there ever a truly selfless act?
3. When things go bad, are you the type that cuts and runs or are you the type that has the balls to stand and work it out?
4. When will we ever learn what love is?
5. Why do the nice guys always finish last?
6. Why do some tears come irrespective of how long it has been since that which we are crying for came to pass?
7. Why do human beings have an innate need to control their surroundings?
8. If there really was a completely selfless act, is it worth performing it?
9. When we introspect, will we find that we are all fundamentally flawed, or will we find that we were fundamentally perfect, but lost our way somewhere in life?
10. Does love ever really come to an end?
11. Why do people take love so much for granted?
12. When we meet new friends, why do we tend to forget the old ones?
13. Is there any humanity left in the world?
14. Where is the rhyme in our reason?
15. Why is it so easy for us to advise, but so difficult to empathise?
16. Why is man the only animal that kills for reasons other than mate, food and territory?
When I think of the possible answers, I feel queasy. What is it exactly that separates us from our animal counterparts? Why are we considered the smartest animals on the planet? Shouldn't we have figured all this out by now?
Signing off in deep contemplation,

*squirm*, *wince* and other suchly related terms...
Good kosteens ra.. I am be very interested, I have an answer to 1, or so I think.
Laughter and happiness are not the same thing, people who laugh are not necessarily happy, and happy people don't necessarily laugh. One is a reaction and the other a state of being. Go figure!! Also if you have time, read my post titled "The Dictionary", it should explain a few things to you, I think!!!
humans are not the smartest animals on the planet.. it is just our immense ignorance and abominable ego that lead us to that assumption... these questions just can't be answered or conversely could be answered in many different ways.. it is up to each individual to explore these avenues of thought and seek answers.. and even then one can't be sure of success.. and in that lies the complexity of life.. and also its beauty..
anon, i hope ur right....although i would recommend you support what you said with at least half an example
