Imagine...

A wise words from someone from my country.

I would only add: Don't have a nemesis. We all are humans and the only people that are happy when we hate each others are politicians.

So, do you know the lyrics?

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today (ah ah ah)

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

But I'll play by your broken rules :P

A good thing about organised religion is...
You get time off.

wow, and I thought I just posted on that thread about the simple fact that reversing a single event in history won't change any thing.. =P

Actually Bulgaria was conquered for almost 500 years... the second time. The first time it was for... um, wikipedia-foo 167 years. I don't know if the others need correction since I'm not a historian and school around here only teaches the "local" history. <.<
Anyhow, that's all I wanted to say. Carry on. :)

Three words: DO NOT ASSUME.

Also, you're starting a shitstorm, but you don't want to be part of it? That's a little hypocritical.

Such a powerful song 👍 Gives me shivers

Think lucky that you're country is independant (does EU count as independant?) England used to rule over many countries, most of which have fought for their own independance. Now only Scotland, Ireland and Wales are left.

Scotland has begun the fight! :D

So looks we were not unique at all (sic)

We are each of us unique, yet also human. The differences between us are so that we might recognize one another. No more, no less.

As for feelings of superiority, that is the greatest folly. Our worth as a person is determined not by what we have, nor by what we achieve. Rather it is determined by the choices we make. Once we accept that fact, we understand that our sense of self is soley within our own hands, and thereby realize our humanity.

I've been around a long time, and I've seen a lot of things, and the conclusion I've reached is that most people aren't malevolent; they're just distracted. Everything is so simple when we're children, and understand the world in black and white; right and wrong. It's because we have a simple understanding of the world, and haven't (most of us) had any real hardship. As we get older, we learn more complexities about the world, and we get tired; we slack a bit; we make concessions. It's such a gradual process that we don't even realize what's happening. Sooner or later, we're at that age where we're working on our careers, taking care of families, and all sorts of other things that consume our time; our lives; the very essence of our being. We're so focused on the day-to-day that getting little Timmy to football practice and Sarah to dance class that it's just going through the motions; we're on auto-pilot. We never think to take that step back and get perspective. That's not to say that it doesn't make us do bad things and treat others poorly, but at our core, most of us are not bad people. And yes, some people are just malevolent jerks, but I've found that by and large, this is the case.
