''From what I can see, everyone seems to need some kind of' 'belief ' to feel part of something and not to be an 'outsider' otherwise they feel lost like children without their comfort toy. It is best to question than to accept it from others and if you do you might just feel alive in yourself and the better for it.''

we don't know where and,
we don't know the time or the place ...
so live your life as if you believe in 'MAGIC'.''

Just a thought ........
''Why is it that people turn their heads even when the evidence is shouting out to them that the times we are living in is moving so fast that we can be left behind and feel cut off from 'progress' in all that is happening and on 'offer' in today's world. What is happening today was once a dream in other men's minds ... and it's too flippened to pass it off and to say 'such is life', but so called 'progress' will move us on in many ways that now more than ever Human Beings within their own stability of mind have to build more 'walls' to stop insecurity creeping in and as in everything Time will tell if we can cope with our own 'zest' for progress . We cannot predict the future but we can and do invent it for mankind will keep moving forward in spite of his so called fears of the outcome and it will be all passed off as 'how we use it'.''

If you accept the status quo in life how do you expect to find self worth ...
but the people who 'feel' they have all they need out of life are quite content in their status quo for them life is a Do-Not-Rock-The-Boat situation ...
Status Quo to me is an English boogie rock band formed in the early 1960's and still on the go in 2010 ...... I accept that 'status quo' .. ''Rocking-All-Over-The-World''.
''When you start thinking of the future you are already in it, better to slow down and know the present ...... why rush''.

''Like what the internal combustion engine did for the horse-drawn carriage ... well then ... picture this ....
Computers using their vast intellectual capacity to think on their own, to 'problem solve' for humans in ways we cannot apprehend today, {but we have a 'good' idea as to how it all develops in the future}, there is no doubt in my mind that this will dictate how future generations will evolve as Human Beings. Humanity as we know it and computers as we have designed them are 'hand in hand' and never to be separated ...... till death do us apart ...... and it all may very will. We are creating our own extinction in more ways than we realise and must built-in safety measures for those who will have to live with our 'doings'. It's all very well problem solving for today but it also has to be problem solved for the future .....
It's 'good' to learn from past mistakes and 'good' to look towards the future but we also must look 'inside' ourselves.''

Just a thought ; ....
'' Human conflicts of any kind and natural disasters are part of our world which will never change and they will always be with us but we can and have survived so long as we remember that the collective Ego does not get in the way and that we have not lost the use of reason as Human Beings otherwise we are on the road to self destruct in more ways than one. So for those in power I am hoping the collective Ego is not 100% in the game-play ... or is this to much to hope for, and just to answer that .. yes, I feel it is to much to ask for, but if we bring ourselves into balance with nature and with our fellow Human Beings we have more than a good chance in putting things to right I would think, but this is only a thought and may never get into practice knowing human nature because the Ego, 'collective' or 'self' will always find a way to step into control. The collective Ego played it's part in helping Human Beings to evolve and survive but it also plays it part in destroying us. Being in the 'awareness' is better than being in the dark and with this thought our actions will in time become intentional.''
