my response was simply towards azrad, and i actually disagree with you

the methods of teaching vectors and momentum are sometimes controversial. A lot of people actually have a hard time grasping it quickly. Of course after you've understood the concept you think that "it's not complicated", but that's what teachers often unintentionally do: assuming too many things to be taken for granted

"There is too much going on for the mind to control life even if it could. The truth is, you would not want to be in control even if you had the option. When you learn the ultimate truth, you realize life outside the animal mind is perfect the way it is, and you would not change anything.

Life is not imperfect; it is just people’s awareness of life that is imperfect. Life does not need to change. It cannot change; it exists because it is perfect. For something to last forever, it has to be perfect.

You are only truly free when you know for certain:
You are not in control.

The only thing that can change and needs to change is people’s perception and level of awareness. People need to see the perfection of life. When they do, they become a reflection of perfection and become perfect themselves. The animal mind by its very existence makes your life imperfect and unfulfilling, then it becomes stronger trying to fix it. The stronger it becomes, the less perfect life appears. It is the ultimate vicious circle.

We need to see the truth and the life and just relax and flow with life, accept life, surrender to life, live the life we are being given as it is being given. It is impossible to live totally alive all the time in this world, but the more of life we live, the more fulfilled we will be. We just have to turn off our minds when they are not needed, and we can. The truth is we can live without it most of the time. What could be more obvious, easier or smarter? The truth is just too simple and obvious for our minds to recognize it, and the mind does not want to see it."

from page 85 of "The Present" at www.truthcontest.com

I heard an analogy once from a comedian about the purpose of life which I found very succinct. Picture a sandwich sitting outside, now imagine what will happen to said sandwich: bacteria will form on it, ants and critters will likely eat it, and eventually the sandwich will be gone.
Earth is our sandwich and we're here to eat it.

Well, that is what is currently happening, but we could stop destroy earth (and build heaven on earth instead) if people start to wake up and face the truth.

why bother

Why stop destroy earth ?
Well I do not see the point destroying it in the first place... we did it for material evolution, and money.
Now we evloved enough... we could live in harmony with nature, the question is why we do not do that already ?
A lot of money is currently spent for wars. We could use that money in scientific research for non polluting energy such as the sun for exemple.

Here is one video I would like to share : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pIJHJzDQcRM
It has same message than The Present

When you lose the ability to think for yourself, you are nothing but dependent on others.

u are something i have to agree.i go that website and read with all my heart.ty bro

I agree, this book actually explains how to really think for yourself... when you actually need to think (not often).
The problem is : you may think that you think for yourself, but it is most likely a lie from your mind.
