Oh, the horror that would be if everyone obtained what they truly wanted!.

Rampant destruction and boredom to infinity, for upon each fulfilled desire another one manifests itself ready to be attained!.

Destructive because individual desires necessarily conflict with those of others!.

Boredom because at a certain moment the realization comes that desires are not so fun anymore when they are all attained!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

All these quotes which seem so intelligent are just the dumbing down of our way of thinking!. A quote is supposed to be used to justify a thought or position, not to be used independently of a text!.
We read a quote like the ones written here and think that we have found a new thought or way of thinking, but in reality we have only a snibbit of a real thought or argument!.
An example!. the quote of "If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound!." We think That makes us question the idea of the existence of reality outside of our perception of it!. But in fact, the real philosophy of this quote is found in books, volumes and articles!. We have learn t nothing new from he quote but just made ourselves think we have gained a piece of knowledge!.
I blame facebook!.
anyways my quote is: "It is impossible to resist the impression that people commonly apply false standards, seeking power, success and wealth for themselves and admiring them in other, while underrating what is truly valuable in life!." Sigmund Freud!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

-Jean Kerr

On work:
"Work hard play hard!."
-Corporate culture philosophy


On jewelry:
"Diamonds are a girl's best friend!."
-Marilyn Monroe


On life:
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world!."
-Mahatma Gandhi

“The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels!."

There is nothing in this life that we must do!. We simply have a choice!. We can either do one thing or the other depending on the information at hand!. If we do the right thing there are consequences, they may be good , they may be bad!. If we do the wrong thing there are also consequences, again they may be good or they may be bad!. That's life!.

MINE COMES IN THREE PARTS

1!.) Days will com and days will go!. When those days go they will take with them your so called beauty!. If you want to look good at the end of those days pay attention to what's inside, do what you can to help others, and follow God!. Other than that you can paint yourself bright pink and go running through the halls with a sign that says,"I'm different" and it will make no difference to me!.

2!.) It isn't the years in your life but the life in your years that truly matters!.

3!.) Not much is as good as or better than seeing your friends' smiles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
