What, in life, still makes you wonder?

What remains mysterious to you, out of the reach of your understanding? Those thoughts that do not easily lend themselves to resolution or fit into a convenient box.

Is it the nature of life itself? The nature of love? Why the Red Sox cannot win the World Series?




For me, I'm still finding out.
 
I still don't understand why "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You" escapes so many people.

People who want to be treated with respect openly disrespect others; people that want to be accepted and embraced openly treat others with sarcasm, scorn and disdain.

So many act as if respect and equanimity are signs of weakness rather than evidence of strength.

Respect is a fluid idea which varies wildly from one person to another. I know, from experience, that my view of respect is vastly different from the masses.

Life itself,
is it fated,
or chance,
is it luck
or planned?

Although women was a good one too........


:cool:
 
:devil:

I wonder why people don't realize that the word impossible is mearly a word used to describe a degree of difficulty.
 
The question"Are things getting better, or are they getting worse?"
 
People make me wonder. I don't get why they behave the way they do sometimes. The rudeness, stupidity, and down right cruelty that people exhibit.
 
Intolerance....how can people remain close-minded to perspectives of others

Perrenials.....how those precious weeds come back after each winter

My lover....how does he excite me so with his words:heart:

:rose:
 
The internet

How all of this information passes through a telephone or cable line so quickly is beyond the scope of my understanding.

How millions of people can be on line at the same time....

The enormity of the entire "internet" baffles me.


Oh...and my second wonder

Why haven't I had sex in more than a month?

:D
 
The design of the human will. It encompasses all that is good, and yet it sinks to the lowest, darkest, and most depraved act as well. The incredible genius that let go, and flung such a wonderfully unpredictable power into existence. It's mystery seems unfathomable.

You did it now. This thread will be alive with offers. May I be the first? I can provide several good places for you to sit while you sort the offers out.

perhaps because you're a cartoon? you should ask your artist to draw you some action.
 
<tries to wrestle the thread back from the hi-jackers> ;)

I can't understand violence, I really can't. I can't understand guns, tanks, bombs, nuclear/atomic/chemical weapons, maces, whatever. Why do we feel the need to make other human beings suffer so? I just can't understand that.
 
I don't understand the function of the heart. I mean, I know I am GLAD it does what it does. I guess I just don't understand how, or sometimes even why?
 
I have to agree with Weed

Intolerance and small-mindedness.

How can people refuse to see beyond their own bubble AND expect everyone else's bubble to be exactly like theirs, when we're all more like snowflakes (and should be celebrated as such)?
 
Well, slap my hand!

I had no intention of hijacking the thread....but all the attention is welcome.

Perhaps, somewhere else so as not to become upsetting to other posters.

:)


I am also with Bob....I wonder why it is so difficult to be decent to one another. Why do some feed their egos from other's pain? I believe in the inner goodness and strength of all of us, it is a matter of searching and finding it. Perhaps, it is those who don't find it who need to go out and hurt , cause pain, and go home ....alone or lonely.
 
I wonder about many things...

How it is that you can love someone so much ,and they may not return your feelings, while you don't know that someone else who loves you even exists....


I went to the plantarium the other day, so I've also been wondering in general about outer space... it's so daunting.


Also, how is it that I'm working three jobs, I don't have a mortgage to pay for, or kids, or a drug habit, yet I'm flat broke?
 
Why people would offer to edit a story for you, and never get back to you about it. Not even to tell you it sucked.

Now that makes me wonder.:rolleyes:

Minxie, sounds like you need one of those 3 things to justify being broke. ;)
 
I wonder why anyone who lives in an urban area, never hauls anything larger than a sack of groceries, and whose idea of "sports" is sitting on the couch watching football would own an SUV or one of those stupid fucking big-ass pickup trucks?

As the days go by.....

Maybe they go camping all summer and take their dog everywhere they go, but they don't have it detailed on a bumper sticker for the sake of your insanity.

I wonder endlessly about everything, but right now I'm wondering why dumbnuts cut me off to get ahead of me, then slow down to a crawl.

I wonder about that.
 
I'm serious about this:
I wonder why it is that the letters of the alphabet are listed in the dictionary under their 'correct spelling'. Look up 'S' in your dictionary under 'ess'. 'H' is spelled 'aitch'. Who ever knew that the letters had their own spellings? For me, having discovered this only about 6 months ago, I am veritably amazed at this bit of erudite knowledge that is kept from the general public. I feel like I have uncovered a loophole in the vast treasure trove of the English language....through the Book itself, the great dictionary. The Dictionary has become the Kabbalah of our 21st century, late-capitalist North American lives.
