  Mar 17 2013: I think looking real is more admiring than looking happy.

• A reply on Conversation: Why do we usually smile for pictures?

  Mar 17 2013: "we want others who see the picture in the future to know we are happy".
  I thought that we take pic. for ourselves, to help us remmember where we were and how we were feeling, I didn't know that the main philosophy of that is to show others how happy and attractive we are in all of our pictures!

  A reply on Conversation: We do not need to change the education system

  Mar 15 2013: Daniel, I liked your comment. It completely make sense to me. As you were brutaly honest and stated that if everybody figured out the meaning of life when they are 25, the world is not going to work any more (I want to add to your statement) the world would not going to work anymore, As It Is working Right Now.
  I am wondering if there is another way to manage the world that we do not need ignorent people for the world to be sustainable. Sometimes I think I cannot even dream of another system that works, and I do not know if it is because there is no other system that can work or because of my presomptions and the misleading way that the leaders have taught us to think.
