Merely a couple of Aphorisms
A drop of love in an ocean of evil could bring a tear to the driest of eyes.The contrast of life's ups and downs are what make it so real, embrace in this for how we interpret it is how we come to be who we are.The understandability of any given topic is equal or greater than to the ability to relate said topic to another topic already understood.Joy is a surprise that you can't wait for. Surprise is fear in no more than an instance. Fear is a shock you probably should have seen coming. And shock is joy's evil twin.A present is the embodiment of the thought of the giver. A reaction is the embodiment of the thought of the receiver. They coe...

Sparkling Eyes
Eyes that stare at the ground, never sparkle in the sunlight.Thinkers that never apply their thoughts don't get anywhere. Thinking is good, but to do nothing but think isn't all too good. If the genius that came up with a design for the nail never actually put his thoughts onto the drawing board, and brought it to life, where would we be now? We would still be in some sort of advanced stone age, due to our ancestor's and our massive use of wood, and wood like materials that still require nails. If the caveman never made the wheel, we probably wouldn't have anything we do now. Without the use of the most basic and primitive tool, farming wo...

Saving the Best for Last
Save the best for last.It's the saying your mom always told you during dinner throughout your entire childhood, until you realized that broccoli actually isn't good (who knew?). But for those of us who eat the pizza's crust, why wait to eat it last, if it's the least favorable part? Do we feel so much as the "right here, right now" society that it affects our nearly subconscious regular eating programs in that we eat the best first to have the worst for last, leaving a bad taste in our mouth, only to be soothed by an always near by water fountain? Why not put what already is in reverse back to normal? Why not have asparagus before bask in ...

Your Life Passing by your Eyes
Patience takes a lifetime to master.
If people say that life is short, so they should make the best of it, then why do moments seem to last so long and then seem so short after it's over? Why do people learn to be patient? If you're waiting in line, why not pay someone ten bucks to wait for you while you go base jump a skyscraper? Why do people stare out the bus while going through town to pick up groceries, instead of listen to music, or help an old lady getting off the bus? And most importantly, why does life seem so short, when it really is so long?
Well really, life isn't quite so long. Sure, the world could change a lot in 90 or so ye...

For whoever's not the best.
Why complain about not being the best at anything? It's painfully obvious that you aren't the best at anything, and statistics will stand by me with this. The odds of any random person being the best at anything is equivalent to as many things there are to be the best at, divided by the world population, now about 6.5 billion. So I'd guess that the probability that you'd be the best at something would be around 1 in, oh I don't know, maybe a million. And that's assuming that there are 6,500 things able to be considered possible to be the best at. So that means that out of 1 million people in the world, odds are that you're not going to be ...

Similarities between Cultures
Most people are mostly like most people, wherever you go.The human nature is the human nature, and similarities exist between largely differing countries because people grow up differently in the same way no matter where you go.
In other words, people will grow up differently; babies will grow up to be goths, jocks, emos, girly girls, tomboys, or other to be in other groups, all in their culture's equivalent of every one else's culture (or for the megalomanical, self centered portion of the population, our own culture's) of the goth, jock, emo, girly girl, tomboy, or other groups. This includes their interests, whether it is being lazy and...
