paulerland123 Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. The nearest thing to capturing the dream of life that's ever been put on film. A great adventure story, too.

paulerland123 I'm 60 and I feel like it hasn't started yet. Life is one long process of waiting for something to happen. That's why we long for another one after this one.

DawGwath @DawGwath (1042) • Romania 5 Nov 10

I am going to have a different approach to this matter, as opposed to many discussions that take place around here. I will use as an example Christianity and it's doctrines but I think this may apply to any religion...

paulerland123 I like your posting, but what is Pasteur's wager? Did he bet that he could find a cure for hydrophobia? I believe you mean Pascal.

Some Thoughts on Nietzsche

darkblink @darkblink (43) • Philippines 2 Nov 10

"God is dead! You and I killed God!" These words came from the mouth of a German philosopher named Friedrich Nietzsche. During my first encounter with this philosopher, I was able to realized that there's more than what he meant...

paulerland123 God is dead, and I'm not feelin' too good myself. When Nietzsche proclaimed that God was dead he thought it was terrific news, because it meant more freedom for man. But people were shocked and alarmed, because, for one thing, it meant more freedom for man....
