We all have our favorite foods...for me it's grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and chocolate cake. All at one meal or individually - I'm happy with any of those items. So to answer my own question - if myLot was...

How do you explain 4-10 year olds exhibiting finesse in art, math, chess or music? Yes, all the explanations tell you how they are able to do it. Possessing an extraordinary working memory, a rage to master, a tendency towards...

Arry @Jessicalynnt I agree with you. We are doomed to repeat the same patterns till we learn to handle them in a better way. The "learning" I was referring to in my post was related more to a particular skill we like. For instance, I like to paint. But I know I...

Arry @Pattitude I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, sometimes for reasons unknown, we have to be apart from them and that's truly painful. Heights of ecstasy to depths of despair.

Last night, I went to a music party in Sacramento. All of us brought our instruments, and we played familiar songs together. There were several groups of about five "jamming," and a couple of times, as the evening wore on, I...

Arry @TheHorse Exactly. Someone who is in sync with me. If I get that feeling, I'm hooked! :)

Arry @TheHorse True. But, you never know. Sometimes, we think we have nothing in common, only to find out later we are alter-egos. That's a fantastic and unparalleled feeling (if and when that happens!). It does and it did for me. :)

Arry @Jessicalynnt - "Learning as we go". Well put! That's the hope and never stop learning just because we can't see the results of our work. We cannot give up saying "There is no point". There always is. And that's the best part.

Arry @PainsOnSlate - I am glad you met yours. :) Yes, I am a firm believer of past lives as well. And there are hints all around us, and if we are aware, the universe will let us in on all its secrets!

Arry @scheng1 - My point exactly. There is so much more to it than what the traditional, "rational", science offers us.

Arry @Drosophila - I couldn't agree more. We end up having to explain, defend our decision every single time. I know what I exactly want, I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses, I have arrived at an informed decision, but somehow that doesn't seem to...

Arry @Jessicalynnt A quote by Pema Chodron comes to mind - "Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know".Every time I find myself in depressing, angry situations, I am reminded of this quote. I try to look for the lesson I am supposed to learn....

Arry @Freelanzer , @martygoldeng - Exactly, if we are on the verge of extinction, it makes sense to go on having children. People who want kids should do it. And those who don't, should not be forced into having them. It isn't a duty, certainly not in these...

Arry Freedom is conditional. It is not to be confused with self-entitlement or our sole privilege. It is relative. You cannot have it at the expense of others' basic rights. @jaboUK - Excellent quote. Well put. Simple and concise and gets the point across. :)

Arry Yes, and the irony is that Diwali is "a festival of lights". But somehow, we managed to make it the noisiest night of the year! How did that happen? How is that noise even remotely enjoyable?! It escapes me. :/

Arry Yes, there is no relevance, but they are connected by the thread of "past lives". I have edited my post, since my explanation felt too long to fit into this comment. Hope I have put across it clearly enough. :)
