Do you think the above statement is true or not? Does the social class one is born into determine if one is successful in life or not? I think it is easier to be successful if you are born into a rich family - you have money...

saffrondreams I don't think one's social class at birth determines how successful they will be per se, but it definitely influences it. Simply put, a rich person would have more opportunities, education, nutrition, a better environment etc. than a poor person would and all...

saffrondreams IDK, I think that life is more than just making lots of money, but children should be taught money management from an early age - I know a family that made their son work at a paper route as a little boy and other jobs when he was growing up to have him save...

A few years back I had a run in with cancer. It did a few things besides leave a wicked scar, but mostly, it made me realize my insignificance as a human being. Taking stock of ones mortality is an life altering experience, if...

saffrondreams I used to be upset over the inevitability of my own demise, but I'm sort of coming to terms with it. I mean, we all die and nothing I do will change this fact. Yeah, the knowledge of our own insignificance is depressing but it's also liberating at the same...

saffrondreams Great discussion. I think he should play football - I mean, very few of us will be able to ever do that and as a star football player, he'd probably make more in a year than what most of us will make over a lifetime. Education doesn't count for much...

saffrondreams I used to make pies all the time, although it is quite time consuming. I have made apple, blueberry, pumpkin, and lemon meringue pie. I'll probably be making a couple for our Christmas family dinner too!

saffrondreams Heh, I agree. I remember reading about this study where they found that even when men and women were telling the same jokes, people on average found the men funnier.

saffrondreams Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about the tough time that you're having. We definitely think alike. :) As for what any of us are living for...well for me personally, the answer to that is nothing really, but it's just that life is the default mode. I figure...

saffrondreams I still do. In fact, I made one yesterday. Nothing beats homemade pizza, but it is a pain to wait for the dough to rise - 2 hours. Usually I put a lot of toppings on the pizza - tomato, green bell peppers, artichoke heart, olives, onion, mushroom, cheese, ham,...

saffrondreams Being a child genius is tough I think. Because they have so much potential, the people around them expect so much out of them that they're probably forced to study all the time. And many of them subsequently suffer burn-out when they're in their...
