Bio:I believe the meaning of life is to give life a
meaning. Throughout my entire life, I have
wondered what the purpose is. Why am I and
every other human being even on this planet in
the first place? That brings me to my next question.
Is there a God? If there is, why did he put us here? Any
Christian asked will say our sole purpose is to
serve God. First of all, what does that even mean?
And second, I must ask why? Why would a
supernatural being place us strategically on this
planet strictly to serve him? That sounds pretty selfish to me. There has to be something more.
Something concrete. Something greater. How
could there not be? All my life I have worked hard
to succeed. I have
challenged myself and fought to do better than
my best. Why? I asked myself. Why stress so much when I’m only going to die in the end?
Pessimistic, I know. Finally, I thought, maybe the
meaning of life doesn’t have to be so complex.
Maybe the meaning of life is whatever we want it
to be. Maybe the meaning of life is to give life a
meaning. I do what I do because I want to do it. It’s that simple. I do it because it means
something to me. Everyone adds their own
meaning to life. The
meaning of life is never universal. The meaning of
life is never complex. The meaning of life is
actually quite simple to think about. Many people help the needy. Others play sports. Both activities
add meaning to those lives involved. Purposes
change, but the overall meaning of life
will always stay the same. The meaning of life is
simply to give life a meaning. This I believe

A comment on Conversation: How do we make peace between Israel and Palestine?
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and therefore
negotiators must take a close look at the land
swaps necessary for a negotiated settlement.
These maps outline three possible land-swap scenarios, followed by a map of the Geneva Initiative for comparison. The core principle of
these swaps is to reconcile the Palestinian
demand for a return to the pre-1967 lines with
Israel’s desire to include as many of the West
Bank’s 300,000 settlers in Israel proper as
possible. Any feasible scenario must include Israel's granting Palestinians arable land from
within Israel’s pre-1967 border in exchange for
annexed settlement blocs (clusters of
settlements). It is essential that, for any land
annexed by Israel as part of a deal, Palestinians
receive equal amounts of land.

always have. It is true, as you say, that we are
"Bombarded with sex, foul language, violence,
and overall chaos," but we still have moral
standards. I think these standards are ingrained,
innate, and we couldn't get rid of them if we tried. I agree that the bombardment has to have
had some effect on how moral our behavior is at
times, but short of becoming a dictatorial society,
that's just how it's going to be. Teaching kids to
think analytically and to be self-reflective will help
to some degree.
A comment on Conversation: What does the average citizen need maths for?
mathematics, statistics and computer science at
the University of Illinois at Chicago, writes in the
Washington Post that although a lot of effort and
money has been spent to make mathematics
seem essential, unlike literature, history, politics and music, math has little relevance to
everybody's daily life. 'All the mathematics one needs in real life can be learned in early years
without much fuss,' writes Ramanathan. 'Most
adults have no contact with math at work, nor do
they curl up with an algebra book for relaxation.'
Ramanathan says that the marketing of math has
become similar to the marketing of creams to whiten teeth, gels to grow hair and regimens to
build a beautiful body, but even with generous
government grants over the past 25 years,
countless courses, conferences, and books
written on how to teach teachers to teach, where
is the evidence that these efforts have helped students? A 2008 review by the Education
Department found that the nation is at 'greater
risk now' than it was in 1983, and the National Assessment of Educational Progress math scores
for 17-year-olds have remained stagnant since
the 1980s (PDF). Meanwhile those who do love math and science have been doing very well and
our graduate schools are the best in the world. 'As
for the rest, there is no obligation to love math
any more than grammar, composition, curfew or
washing up after dinner. Why create a need to
make it palatable to all and spend taxpayers' money on pointless endeavors without
demonstrable results or accountability?'"

formed a symbiotic relationship. You may think
you owe him nothing, but the relationship
matters to the sociopath in ways you cannot
guess or understand. You may think the
sociopath respects your boundaries, but the sociopath will not be sympathetic to your
assertions of your needs. The sociopath does not
have or respect boundaries. The sociopath has his
needs, too, and will fight to make sure that they
are met. You do not want to get into an all-out
fight with a sociopath when the sociopath feels like his survival is threatened. You will lose.

increasing by 90 million a year. Human numbers
are expected to grow to between 8 and 11 billion
before levelling off later in the 21st century. Population growth has levelled off in the highly
developed countries over the past few decades;
but these industrialised states are now supporting
the maximum numbers that can be sustained in
the short term, and the citizens consume around
30 times as much energy and resources as those of the Third World. For example, the 120 million
Japanese have a greater damaging impact on
world resources than the whole of the population
of India and China put together.

environment. The environment can be web-
based and accessed through a portal or software- based and require a downloadable executable file. Just like in a real-world classroom, a student in a virtual classroom participates in synchronous instruction, which means that the teacher and
students are logged into the virtual learning
environment at the same time. Many schools and businesses have rolled out
virtual classrooms to provide synchonrous distance education. Virtual classroom software applications often employ multiple synchronous
technologies, such as web conferencing, video conferencing, livestreaming, and web-based VoIP to provide remote students with the ability to
collaborate in real time. To enhance the
educational process, applications may also
provide students with asynchronous communication tools, such as message boards and chat capabilities

and supported, but the ways in which these
needs are met vary widely. Differing needs for
feeling comfortable and safe create some of
the most severe challenges in our personal
and professional relationships. Think about the conflicting need for safety and
continuity versus the need to explore and take
risks. You frequently see this conflict between
toddlers and their parents. The child’s need is
to explore, so the street or the cliff meets a
need. But the parents’ need is to protect the child’s safety, so limiting exploration becomes
a bone of contention between them. The needs of both parties play important roles
in the long-term success of most
relationships, and each deserves respect and
consideration. In personal relationships, a lack
of understanding about differing needs can
result in distance, arguments, and break-ups. In workplace conflicts, differing needs are
often at the heart of bitter disputes,
sometimes resulting in broken deals, fewer
profits and lost jobs. When you can recognize
the legitimacy of conflicting needs and
become willing to examine them in an environment of compassionate
understanding, it opens pathways to creative
problem solving, team building, and improved
relationships.
