“The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.” - Ernest Becker
My views of life and the world may seem very cynical, and in some cases that is my intentention, but my sole intention remains the same--an objective (neutral) view of mankind concerned only with a basic understanding of the Human condition.
I believe that if Human kind wants to move forward towards a non-destructive future he must be capable of seeing through his own self to his deepest motives without fear and shame. This also means that he must not enforce fear and shame in others by degrading them for these feelings, desires, and thoughts.
We must encourage people to question and understand their own feelings and behaviors, and to change it if necessary.

Applehead : Hey :) on February 16, 2008wow I take my time sometimes lol thanks for lengthy explanation. Still I am wondering is it possible to treat people as you would want to be treated and also treat them as they treat you? What if they were treating you like crap, expecting things of you that are completely rediculous, you would not want to be treated this way so if you follow your first rule you should treat them as you would want to be treated. But if you follow your second and return the sentiments you are contradicting the first rule????
