What is anger ? It is simply the punishment we give ourselves for our own or someone else's mistake
Aleksandr I. SolzhenitsynAnd how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

You put it in, you take it out, and you lose interest. Confucius Say: Viagra is like Disneyland ... A one-hour wait for a 2-minute ride. Confucius Say: It is much better to want the mate you do not have than to have the mate you do not want. Confucius Say: A joke is like sex. Neither is any good if you don't get it.. If you want to understand the present know the past.

You can inquire as to the meaning of life, or you can inquire as to why anything even exists at all.
Imagine an existence void of anything you can imagine, even space and time, all that ever was and will be is a dimensionless singularity as close to absolute and eternal nothingness as you will ever get.
There is absolutely no reason why anything should even exist at all.

I agree. Give me a text instead of a video if what's important is the message.
Omg, I'm so with you. I can't stand having to watch a video. Every one wants to show videos. I don't know how many times I click on something on my news feed and it's just an advertisement for a video to watch. Let me read....
