John Hansen Hi Nate, thanks for the welcome. I have posted a few things here now. Have become a little slack since, but will post more here soon. Good to see someone else from HubPages as well.

What do you do when you’re not exactly in the most social mood? You throw on your headphones and write, write, write. I have Hulu playing on the laptop, and of course, I’m watching and listening to The Golden Girls. I’ve seen it...

John Hansen It sounds like your work is doing what you love writing, and if you can listen to music or your favourite show at the same time all the better. You, always deserve a little treat for your birthday too so go for it. My writing is my work also so I can relate.

Does anyone know why we do it? No one seems to really know why, Or even question the reason. There is no voice of subtle enquiry, Not even one lone bewildered cry, “Why do we do it?” How weird! It’s like everyone...

John Hansen Yes, I guess we do. We decide if the risk is worth it, and if so, go for it.

My "pop psychology" thought for the day. I've come to the conclusion that every human being NEEDS to feel part of a tribe. It's a fundamental part of our nature. I know that for many people, their "tribe" is their nation. But...

John Hansen Yes, I agree, humans have probably never really evolved from the tribe mentality. Most of us need to belong to a group of likeminded individuals, whether it be your dance tribe, a church fellowship, large family group, a sporting club, or a tribe of fellow...

is good and evil actually false? isn't all of this just a matter of different points of view in judging something? and why can you be said to be on the right side and not on the wrong side? and how do you know if you've been...

John Hansen You ask a very pertinent question. There are two sides to every story and often the true facts are not known so what appears good may, in fact, be evil and vice versa. Your last example is a good one.
