What makes you tick as a human?

I am not talking about you exploding or something. I am asking what makes you be the human or person that you are? I love reading the news on yahoo and there i can see what kind of people roam this world. Scary actually. Women throwing away their unborn children like garbage, people killing each other for the hell of it. Wonder if that is a fun thing to do? The toadies here in S.A. who think they can tell everyone what to do and when to do it. Who think they can just take over companies that took years to build up. Idiots, we won't discuss at all. Terrorists that think with their big toes and not the brain God gave them. That is a waste. People who destroy everything and anything they can lay their hands on. Now what makes you tick and what do you think makes them tick? They don't know me, so they will think exactly what i think of them. STUPID FREAKING IDIOTS WHO WASTE THEIR OWN LIFE'S AND THOSE OF THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM. TATA.

I'd say my biggest asset is not being attached to anything. :( I am sorry but in the heart of heart, I know I dont want anything in the world. :( I was walking down towards the lift yesterday, and thinking about some receivable, and this brain of mine says to me, do you really need it to worry as much? How much will satisfy you, and how much do you want to take up with you? And up comes a smile. I am also more honest with me, even if I am not that with others at times.

There we are the same, Vannie. Who wants to be attached to things that can do nothing for you. The honest part, we will talk about that again some time. Thanx. TATA.

@Ritchie Rich So glad you and Nai are happy together. And happy anniversary. :) Can't you accept somebody likes you for what you are? :) I already told you, you are lovable. But looks like you are fishing for a compliment. So here it comes, if you can understand it Rich. Your failings are a. You are generous and genuinely want to make others happy b. You dont use foul language as often as you should c. You dont look grumpy d. You are incapable of grumbling Now those are some of the things that would make you very normal my darling Rich. But because you are not, I like you.

Two radical women sitting in a park watching their kids playing. One turns to the other and says, "It's such a pity, they blow up so quickly these days"

What makes me tick? Life, beauty, the children, nature, learning, animals, friends, family, humor...

I am afraid of ignorant people. I dislike people who don'T take responsability and put the blame to someone else.

When you come across ignorant people, sweetie, treat them the same way. People tend to blame others,it's easier or something. Thanx. TATA.

What makes me really a human being? Oh yeah, i'm really a human being !!, i always consider for others.. The awful acts of those who destroy others without thinking what will be their future is really a distasteful thing.. Thinking those mafia's they say they are the leaders of the place and nobody can beat them. They just lay their hands in whatever they touch.. i really do hate them.. The rich people who own a car who doesn't give a lift in their car for the needy.. i'm not asking the car owners to give money for others or give continuous lift for others, i'm just asking give some respect to the poor..Treat them with good respect.. here in my place u can see much more indifference between them.. A rich family would never talk to poor family.. A person who is going in a car would never talk or respect the person who is going in a cycle or some middle bikes... nobody asks their money, just show some concern for others, just a little respect .. nothing else !!

I support humanity !!!! But, i have seen in hollywood movies , like guys going in cars would stop their car if somebody wanna share a ride or want a lift... I don't know how far is this true.. Even in Mr.Bean series, Mr.Bean would play golf and he will go nowhere in the middle chasing the ball and after realizing that he is away, he will put his hand to ask a lift in a car and a car will stop to pick him and he will go in that car.. But, here, in my 20 years of life, i have never seen such incident, a guy going in a car offering a ride who is asking for a lift or a pick up !!!

Don't believe anything you see in the movies, guna. It won't ever happen in real life, okay.

If these people ever show consideration or respect to the poor, sweetie, the world will fall apart. They are that kind, you know. We cannot change them. Let them rot in their riches. At least it sounds like you are human. TATA.

World is filled with both the good and bad. Though the bad make more noise and at times you feel that they outnumber the good, you stumble upon many good people in your daily life and this keeps the hopes of a better future for the planet alive. For me, there is nothing specific which keeps me ticking, that I can say for sure. I am a person who is ruled by my heart and have a varied fluctuations in my mood. I try to find happiness around me whenever and in whatever form I can. If I have it, I feel alive(ticking) and that is all.

For some reason, the bad is taking over, sweetie. We have to have that balance. But the scale surely start to tip more to one side. And that is the side i don't like. I have those who love and care for me to make my life easier and i do try to do and be the same. Wonder what will happen if i start turning as bad as the above mentioned. Thanx. TATA.

But it sound like so much more fun to be on their side, sweetie. As they always say, " if you cannot freaking beat them, then damn, join them."

From what I have known about you (reading your discussions and responses) I am sure you are going to be on the better side. But if you insist, people would still love and regard you however these people now would be on that side. Seriously speaking, I think we would not become any of the people on the bad side just because we have matured enough and are past that phase where we can be motivated to join them. We have realized how bad we would become and this realization would keep us away.

I am not talking about you exploding or something - i love your line here, S. LOL. What makes me tick? Well, I am not sure really but what I notice sometimes is most people I know come to me whenever they have a secret or a problem that they can't share to their family/BFFs/boyfriends/girlfriends. I don't know why and somehow I feel like the universe is out of tilt for they share something like that to me but I am honored in a way though. And I try to be the secret keeper or try to give them the good advice. Even if there are people we hear or read from the news that really disappoints us in a way but let's still forgive them from their mistakes. Even I wants to be forgiven too even though my mistakes have failed to be broadcast all over the news. Chill down, saphy. By far, you have one of the most kindest and most honest hearts here in my lot. And for that, you are one person I look up to. Cheers, my friend.

So you are the one i should go to when having some problems or a secret, sweetie. I knew i could count on you for that. I cannot forgive people who think and behave like raving idiots. I won't forgive myself for doing that. THANK YOU SO KINDLY. HOPE I NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU. TATA.

Ahhhh Saphy! What a seriously heavy topic! I am not sure I am up for this at the moment, but will give it a shot, just for you my lovely sweet friend~ Don't have a clue what makes me tick! Just know that it scares and disturbs me watching what makes others tick! Not scared of what I will do, but sure as hell am scared of what the hell "they" might do next! Not very comfortable anymore in this world having to watch my back and all the other surrounding sides and the ones that I can't even see. How sad this world we live in has become~I am going to have to get on an airplane from NY to Florida on Tuesday and I am so very scared, but have to go take care of some business with my Mom, and time for my "yearly" visit. Not looking forward to it for alot of reasons, but am terrified of flying, especially from NY~ wonder why?

Don't be scared of it, sweetie. The best way is not to think of it. I know, easier said than done, but we cannot always live in fear for something. That will eat you up, you know. Take each day as it come. We cannot change people, but we can try to understand them. When your back here, we will have a party again, okay. TATA.

hi saphie.... it's all the communal conflicts which is the main factor of terrorism and mischiefs in my country. when people will learn that religion is just to obey not to fire... then all the nuisances will run out... when people will extend their helpful hands to each other... then everything will be fair. have a nice day.

Yeah, after it rays of peace are in india or world. You know a pastor from phillipines enounced that he will burn kuran, and just after it many conflicts raised and in india it took more than 15 human's life. So religion first, its just to bind and protect ourselves not to spread thoughts being an orthodox, hope you have understood.

No offense Shiby, but it seems that religion is only worsening this. Maybe they should get away from that religion first.

We learnt that behind all those bad things, there are three strong motivations, greed, anger and ignorance. Sometimes there can be a combination of them. It is what makes this world full of wars, evil and a lot of suffering. What makes me human? I think it would be treating everybody as equals and not judging people based on the amount of money they have or how they look like.

Hi sweetie. Greed, anger and ignorance are the most common and the most dangerous of all. Good to hear you won't judge people. It is a very bad habit, you know. I don't care for the rich that much. Smugness can irritate the living hell out of me. TATA.

I'm not sure what makes me tick. Suffice to say that I exist. I usually feel better about life if I can do someone a good turn. There are plenty out there who seem to make it their business to do people a bad turn. I wish they would find themselves somewhere to hole up and blow each other apart: leaving the rest of us the heck alone. It goes without saying that they won't, as they are far to mean not to share their misery!

It would have to be a very big hole. Perhaps we don't have to put them in it. We could get them all to detonate together, they'd have created it for themselves....
