How did it all begin? I guess it depends on what religion you believe in. But, let's say that scientists are right with the creation of the planets and everything, just for now....
Scientists say that according to evidence, the planets were created by objects that floated around space... well, what created those? And the creator of that? And how did life come to exist on the planet Earth? Very bizarre topics... and your religion probably answers those to you... but just think about it.... it's really bizarre when you think about it.....
Life is kind of interesting to think about because it links to different questions and different questions that aren't really answered for me... And all those questions lead to confusion.... and headaches, and curiosity.... and the question of what the real truth is........???

What If... 3
What if everyone had a time machine? ...Think about that....
...You could visit any time period and witness any event...... but how would that affect the time stream?
I have often wanted to go back and alter choices I made, but human error is normal...
If we had a time machine, we could change historical things for the good..... or for bad people.... well, that's pretty self explanitory...
Even the slightest change may alter fate for you and someone else... Maybe the events that occur in daily life were there for a reason... even if you don't like them...

What If... 2
What if everyone lived forever?
Many people in this world fear death. But the fact is, we all have to die at some point. Living forever would mean you'd be here until the end. And even then, you'd still be here... Because you live forever...
All the things you'd see... Over population... New technology.... And there'd be no medical industry... No one would ever need medicine because your immortality could never allow it...

What If... 1
These "What If"s will make you think a little. That's the reason I'm writing them. I hope to have more later on.
What if we lived in a perfect world? Free of worries, free of stress, free of hate. We all wish that would happen sometimes, including myself, but let's look at it from the other side...
There would be no stress... Sometimes at least a tiny bit of stress is a good thing. It keeps us going on with our lives and gives us the encouragement we need to get things done.
There would be no need for accomplishing things... It would all be done for us. After all, the world would be perfect, right? No one would really care about what went on because they could do whatever they pleased...
Everyone would be the same. If it was perfect, being different would mean that you were imperfect to someone...
...To me, a perfect world could not exist. It would not be perfect in someone's eyes and society could not function.

My Thoughts on Music, Anger, and Technology
Recently, I've been thinking more and more and I have not had a chance to write it all down... So, I finally decided to take three of my most recent topics and write some brief thoughts on them down!
MUSIC
What would the world be without music? Honestly... what do you think it would be like?! Music expresses emotions, such as sadness, love, and joy. Without music, those would just be bottled up and kept from the world. Music is also for people's listening enjoyment. It's not always true (most of the time it isn't, actually), but it can help people with something they're going through, or be a new favorite song for others! Without music, the world would be a somewhat dull place...
ANGER
It's not a bad thing, to tell you the truth. Think about it... Anger is the opposite of happiness. Without anger, happiness would have no opposite and really couldn't even exist. Well, I guess that in theory, happiness could exist, but someone would have to have the opposite of it sometime and it really would just not be able to be identified as a certain emotion. Anger isn't bad itself, even not thinking about happiness. It lets people know more things about what they don't like and need to try to stay away from. It educates a person to avoid things they get the certain emotion of anger from.
TECHNOLOGY
Every day, the world is being improved and getting a little bit easier. But I want to question if it's really all a good thing. I mean, I love flat screens and laptops as much as you and the next person does, but I'm not sure it's actually good. If a teleporter that you could take to any location in the world, people would no longer really even have a reason to move other than to go to that teleporter. I'm not saying that all types of technology are bad. For instance, advances in medication affect us for the better. It helps add to the life expectancy. Every time they come out with something new, it makes us want to ditch the stuff we just bought and go for that new item because it has a great special feature. I do that too, so don't worry that you're the only one ;) It's hard to say no to the things that are bigger (or in some cases, smaller and more portable is a good thing) and better.
Just a few thoughts running through my head... ;)

Passive Vs. Aggressive
I have always been very passive... Just going with the flow. Don't really try to argue when something's not exactly what I would like... I talk in a very relaxed voice (most of the time) and I'm a good listener.....
.....And then, there's my sister. She's full of aggressiveness. Even at (almost) age ten, she still cries and whines every time something's not perfect... For example, just two days ago, she went to McDonalds and she asked for no lettuce, tomatto, pickles, etc... (you know, the rest of the stuff they usually put on a burger).... So, she got her burger and she saw it had everything on it. She yelled out "WHAT! I CAN'T EAT THIS!!" *she threw the burger against the table* "MOM! THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED IT!!! AAAGGGGHHHHRRR!!!!"
You, of course, can predict that my mom gave her a good talking to after that. That is a very good example of aggressive behavior -well, maybe a little more than a typical example of it...
It's amazing to compare my sister and I as far as attitudes and opinions... It's actually quite a difference... *sigh*
I don't think it's good to be either one of these, but possibly right in the middle. I mean, you can avoid the whining and out-of-controlness (if that's a word), but you don't just go along with what people tell you. You have the ability to make choices for yourself and are good at compromising. And when you don't get the way you want, you don't over-react and just keep your cool =)

My Thoughts on Complaints
But mom! I don't want pizza for dinner!! *insert whining here*
Hearing my sister complain about nearly everything that doesn't go her way gets VERY obnoxious. It really ticks me off.... A LOT! You want to know why? Of course you do or you wouldn't be reading this entry.
It ticks me off because we are so fortunate to have all these extra things in this world that make our lives so much more pleasing. We are very fortunate. By questioning the way someone provides something that would be considered a treat to have in most other parts of the world really makes me question whether or not having all these extra things in the United States is a good thing. Maybe it makes us more greedy or grouchy as a society. *sigh*
