yusufcarlos Most of the time, we are never satisfied with anything. That's why we progress. If we are content then we stagnate. Of course there are other ways to progress but I think our dissatisfaction with what we have is the main cause for progress. I wish I could have...

yusufcarlos I agree, if we keep the frequency down on the diversions. Any more it will turn into escapism. I've seen people dead at their computer playing MMORPG (it's a social based role playing game online). I've seen people who comes back at home and ignore their...

yusufcarlos Actually, If you really want you can always leave everything and move off somewhere that life is reduced to basics. The problem is can you really leave? I'm too addicted to my way of life that I could not imagine doing things another way. I've yet to find a...

Let me tell you a scenario. You're old, maybe around 60 or 70. During your youth, you did not take care of your body as you should have like drinking alcohol, smoking, etc. Now, at this age you're paying the price. Heart problems,...

yusufcarlos There are two perspectives. First, is the person who is suffering and will not cause any unnecessary inconvenience to their loved ones. And Second, the family who loves the person and will do almost anything to get him/her well. If it was my wife who is...

yusufcarlos Yes, a good family will help no matter what even mortgaging their house in order to pay some obscure treatment that may or may not help. It is sad sometimes that doctors are becoming more business minded these days, I'm not saying all doctors is like that but...

yusufcarlos Yes, there's always hope but it is not necessarily be an expensive treatment. I think if you have a very positive outlook your chances of getting better is very high. Patch Adams had a very good idea. If you don't know him look him up. I've also read...

yusufcarlos Hi. I'm sorry you felt that way. You have the right to choose your way but I felt compelled to tell you this. To me suicide or asking someone to kill me is never the answer. It's like giving up or surrender. Think how sad will your family be if you take that...

yusufcarlos Hello cobrateacher. Yes, i know what you mean. We have politicians here promising the people the stars and moon. And when they're elected they conveniently forget (most probably some rich company dangled a better carrot for him to forget about his promises).

yusufcarlos Hello Swashbuckle. Sorry for the confusion, the minister i meant is a politician elected by the people to protect and serve the people who voted for that person. In a way i agree that they should be respected because we don't know how hard or difficult is the...

yusufcarlos Hi Wizzywig. Normally i'd just sit as you said, but that assistant's behaviour or indifference got to me. So, I waited for an opportunity to shame him by waiting for a proper number of audience. :)

yusufcarlos Hi. a word, 'whiner' usually springs to my mind, with a great big picture of a baby. Personally i hate whiners, especially the ones who does nothing about what he/she complained about. That annoys me to no end. If your luck is bad and the world seems to go...

yusufcarlos Actually there is a white hole theory. It is of course the opposite of black hole. It actually ejects matter into space. but this is still theory and not proven, some actually say it will exists only for a brief moment. Also another theory about black hole...

yusufcarlos heh heh it's a viable money making idea what. There's a lot more crazier shows that's for sure. The moment someone actually gonna put this up on public telecast, I'm gonna roll on the floor and die laughing my a$$ off.
