Two supervisors......
The one who wants to be in charge; "Just do what I tell you to do!"
The one who wants to lead; "Let's do this, and do it right!"

Some people want to be noticed. Others, just want to take notice ...
Self Righteous: "Isn't there anything you can just stand-up for, like I do?"
Morally Righteous: "There is. But, I won't stand-up for just anything."

Art, music, poetry......
I have discovered a thing about creativity.
I beleive this; true creativity inspires creativity. It is circular, I know. But, a good flu gives others a good flu. Right?
Complexity, expense, the creators fame or past endeavors, history, uniqueness, and originality help design an identity for an item. Yet, none of those truely lend a mote of creativity to any artistic endeavor. Complexity may mean more time spent on any project. But, it does not mean more soul, just more effort. Expense, it is just a fiscal aspect, it only means it will cost me more to buy. The artist's fame or past endeavors, has proven , at times, only to allow the artist to create less inspirational designs. They are riding the wave of a good résumé, to get by on whatever they throw together. History of a piece only gives us a good story to talk about. But, a good story about a drawing doesn't move me to draw. Uniqueness and originality are great virtues to persue. However, there is a definate line between uniqueness or originality, and just plain wierd.
True creativity inspires creativity. If you are moved to write, paint, draw, sing, or feel then great art is at hand. The overwhelming sensation of inspiration is the only true measue of art and beauty.

Natural selection.....
So, (in the absence of ethics) I have a question. Step into the milieu of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Ask, where would we be with out modern medicine? Let's say we did nothing to cure disease, illness, and deformity. Toss that in with human nature (if even on a subconscious level) to select a partner based on health. Granted there are other factors, personality, income, social status, ect., ect. Throw those out, like the rest of the animal kingdom does. Fundamentally, we have that underlying need to propagate. Reproduce with the hopes and aspirations of strong, healthy offspring. However, before I continue, do not believe that I am saying let the weak die off. I support modern medicine. It is invaluable.
Granted, there's always some new, fancy, incurable disease. But, just for the sake of a good science fiction story line, let's wonder. What would the human race be like, if we had let natural selection run it's course? Where would we be, if all the illnesses that afflict the human body, were not made latent, hidden by medicine? Only those who could survive, would reproduce. Think, after thousands of years in the absence of medicine, what would the human physical constitution be like?

Just keep asking why. You'll see....
Everything we do, leads back to ourselves. Every action done, is ultimately for ourselves. If some one was to completely invsest in generousity and to the dedication of others, it would be for their self. Why? Because, even the act of self sacrifice, would be to better their self, their character, and how they appear to others. Keep asking, why. Why we do, what we do? Amazingly, you will see the true purpose of our deeds. It is not just the overtly, selfish, unjust acts. It is the good, as well, that are done ultimately, for selfish reasons. Ask yourself, can there ever be, an act that will never lead back to ourselves? What does this say about human nature?

I'd probably be taller, if I weren't so succinct.....
As people or peacocks, we all strive for the same.

"You're papering the wrong wall..." A one act play.
Arrogance: "Can I help you?"
Confidence:"I didn't know I needed any"
Confidence:"I didn't know I needed any"
