“Do we really live?”

Let’s start with how I ended up asking myself this question … A couple of years ago one of my friends asked me “Have you ever thought that we are nothing but machines?” .When I first heard this I thought that it is kind of no sense theory, but a couple of days ago somehow I remembered about his question and tried to answer it.

Now when you know what the real question is you might think like this “This is pointless, I have feelings, I can think, I have consciousness and I have wishes, I can’t be only a machine.” … Is that right? First you must understand that if you want to debate that theory, humans cannot be considered a simple machine, something like a car, humans must be a very complex kind of machines.

We all know that we can do things that a machine invented by us can’t do, let’s take feeling as an example, feelings are of course something that set us apart but are feelings something that a very developed machine can’t achieve? To answer that question let’s get to some basic understanding of machines, they work like this:

INPUT -> PROCESSING -> OUTPUT.

Input means just some data that the machine receive; processing means what the “brain” of the machine is doing behind the doors, and to be more explicit that means transforming the input data into some output data; output means what the machine will give, more like an action, or answer.

If we look at that cycle we can notice that reflexes have the same structure, we need something to start our reflexes (input), we need something to process our reflexes i.e. brain (processing), and some reaction (output).

Feelings are also reflexes, they are activated by some events, they are processed by our brain, and we do react to them.

Now it seems this is getting pretty strange, intelligence and wishes are also some reflexes built in our early times when we learn everything (input), we store it in our memory (processing) and we use it later (output), after all you can’t wish something that you don’t know; but now let’s get to harder subjects, consciousness. Consciousness is pretty hard to understand but in light terms it means the understanding of the world, makes us understand that you, me and the rest of us are here on this earth working to make a living.

Consciousness is hard to be considered introduced into “devices”, considering we don’t know any device that has consciousness. But hard doesn’t mean impossible. What you need to create consciousness is (in informatics) a self-writing code. What a self-writing code means? A code is something that drives the actions of a program or a device, a self-writing code means a code that modifies itself under the influence of some events. A code like that will make our device able to learn and understand what happens around them.

I will end this here telling you that in my opinion the answer to the main question is YES, we do live, we love life, we make decisions, and we have some souls to feed here (talking about completing our wishes) . But when someone asks me about cyborgs, robots that think and devices that learn and live just as we do, thinking that they are “alive”, I don’t think that we are that far from inventing such things. Who knows, maybe your neighbor is a robot (just kidding (or not)).

Have you ever taken the time to really get to know yourself? Do you ever stop to wonder if others see you the same way you see yourself? Ultimately what kind of person are you?

I’ve recently been thinking about my own personality and I’ve realized a few very important things about myself that I didn’t notice much before. Like the fact that If I don’t want to do something I have a very bad habit of leaving it to the last minute. I also day dream far too much and need to learn to put them into action.

I’ve learned that once you take the time to really get to know yourself you have the power to change your own life for the better, and that is an amazing feeling.

I understand you may not have a lot of time to sit down and rediscover yourself, you don’t need hours on end. Ten minutes while your taking a bath or shower will do just fine, it will make a world of difference.

I’m planning on create a to do list and I’m determine to stick to it. How many of us have

However, there is something known only to individual people nearby. A person will not give information to someone who is not known.

Personal information is part of the secret, and one that must be maintained. But still it is a personal information public in a particular interest.

People closest to you will know who you are, and will know specifically about you.

Perhaps your family is more aware of yourself, or someone who you think is special need to know about yourself.

As a mother with a child, they will certainly know each others personality. You must provide correct information to someone you trust, or someone special in your life.

Because you will need someone who should know a favorable yourself.

The world is not going to blow up. It is going to be a more slow death. Earth is orbiting closer and closer to the sun everyday and because of that we get global warming. By december 2012 it is expected to get so hot that the tectonic plates start to expand and create pressure between them. Most of this pressure is going to be built up in the ocean which is very bad because when they slip they cause tsunamis. this tsunamis are going to be huge and wipe out most of the land.

we will not die a fiery death but a wet one. Get yourself a canoe before time runs out. You can prepare yourslelf in many ways but the best way is to go underground. water does not afect underground things only above ground. you will need to stock up lots of food and water and prepare for the worst. the world will look alot different when you come back put of the ground but aslong as the human race survives we can assure the world will be here for us. If you dont mind sleeping with cows and chickens and pigs bringh them in your bunker too so we can avoid mass extinction. when we surface again we will need animals there with us.

prepare yourself and think a head. refer back to this article as many times as you need and be aware of the consequences if you are not prepared.

Feelings ,can be so hard to change, anger toward someone, who once hurt you , a lover who left you, years ago and you keep going over the hurt feeling again again.Old feeling which keeps you trapped in your feelings, living in the past instead of living in the now.

How to let go of old feelings, you can write a list ,on all the people and circumstances where you got hurt, and then write to each of them (do not send it) ,Look at them individual ,feel the feelings again , and then let it go because it does not serve you any more. This process can take a while , depending on how much stored stuff you have. But have some patience, and slowly it, will happen. When you feel anger and resentment towards a person who hurt you, they have moved on ,but you keep holding on to old stuff, you are the one who keeps paying the price because you are stuck in the past.

Clutter free zone, stuff everywhere, even broken stuff. Old letters, newspapers, shoes clothes, things you keep, just in case you need it.And when you look at it, the old clothes, that you kept for years, maybe you do not fit them, or they remind you of times you were happier, or maybe you keep them because you worry about if you will ever get any more.You hang on to them because, you were taught ,as a child to hold on to stuff even though you maybe you did not want it any more. But you are an adult now, and you are in charge of your life ,that means you have a choice.

Start with the small thing, throw out newspaper, old jars with half empty food in the fridge, check your bathroom, see if their is empty containers with half used old lotions,that you will never use anyway.

All these are easy ,because it is obvious for the eye.Leave it for a few days, and see if you feel just a bit better about yourself and your emotions.After a few days you go on to your wardrobe, and take everything out, and go through it item after item. And be harsh, do not keep on to things, which do not fit you ,or never will be in fashion again ,let it go. Put in in plastic bags,and give it to the red cross, someone might be able to use the stuff.

The next place is the kitchen, look at all the pots and pans, and cutlery,and what you have not used the last year, you will probably not use the next.year either-so let it go.be .Do not keep two of each can openers, or two wine screws, throw them out.

Do you feel energetic, and inspired ,starting to fell lighter than you have for years, move on to the personal stuff, old pictures, old essays from studying, old love letters from a person which meant a lot to you. All these things can be very hard to let go of, and can bring up some old feeling,and maybe it feels like you are actually tormenting yourself, but you are actually being really good to yourself, and this will help you move on to a better life for yourself.

When you have gone through this process, which can take a while you will feel some much better about yourself, and feel more positive about what the future brings.You might even redecorate your house, have an new hairstyle, change your job. Or keep the home, the same, but you will feel better about yourself, and will not spend so much time living in the past ,with broken stuff around you,and your old and bitter feelings have changed to happier feelings. This simple method will change your life, and improve it.Good luck

When you remember a lot of your past ,
When memories follow you everywhere ,
Every single moment you say I will forget ,

But you find yourself lost between an ocean of endless memories.

Good time , your happiness , your joy , your laugh , your tears , your words , your fights Everything….Everything stored in your memories.

Some of them did a lot for you ,
Another who did nothing but hurt you.
A lot who served a lot why you don’t know but you feel failed after all of these days, Between all of these memories , you find something good.

You don’t know why or how?
You only feel it sounds good.
It tastes like sweet,
It makes you forget for a while all other sorrows and pains,

But you still sink in the ocean of memories.

Every time  you decided to stand up , you find a memory that pushed you down.

Something unsolved in your brain and can be solved by a call,

But you’r afraid of doing so.

Your personality don’t let you to do so,
But your mind won’t let it go.

Memories will be after you and tears will procede it too,
Each day , you will find it similar to something happened before.
Each word , someone told it before
Few are very special.
But almost everything makes you remember.

You want to migrate from this world.
The world of the grand halk day,
The world of deja vu.

You want anything new,
But you should erase the past too.
You should learn from it , to make it a motif ,to make it something that push you not to miss the old crew.

To say I will survive , to solve the problems and to save your life.
You say it is over but it is not.
You said they will and will….
But they won’t.
You said I did but they don’t.

You didn’t listen and they don’t.

So take a step , it is not that easy but it is not that hard.
Don’t lose yourself,
Don’t sink,
Try to invest your breaths , don’t let your life stop.
Open your phone and call,
Open your mouth and talk,
Open your mind and write,

A message , a call , a meeting….
Anything….
Take a positive step.
Don’t let yourself impending.
Don’t say it ’s over , you are sure it is not.
You’r sure you wanna talk,
They wanna talk,
But you’r afraid and they’r too.
You’r afraid from hearing,
They’r too.
You did mistakes and they’r too.

Your brain won’t accept something you’r sure it is not real , your brain and your soul like to face the truth.

It is not over.
You need that talk.
You need it.

Your memories won’t leave you , your present will make you remember.
Your future will make you remember,
Unless you solve it between you and them,
Unless you take a positive step that satisfies your brain.

Every situation will make your brain see it as a deja vu.
So solve it and don’t let your life pass away with memories.
No one can go back to the past,
But everyone can build his future and live his present.
That’s why it is called present,
Because it is a gift from your GOD.

The present is a gift to learn how to learn and forget the past and how to build the future
to be another present like this.

So stand up, take good memories and lets start to build a Beautiful Future.♥

So you’re here because everything fell apart for you? Girlfriend left you, lost your job, parents and friends stop talking to you, and not to mention that you’ve put on a few pounds? Well I can tell you that all you need is one day of commitment to set yourself on the right track and to kick life in the teeth.

First, let me say to you that if you just lost a true love, the love of your life, you have to get angry. Honestly, winning him/her back is definitely not the key, because you’re wishing that all would revert to how it once was. Stop remembering the good times, and just let go. Try forming up some sort of anger, think of the worst times, the neglect you’ve felt from that person, how he/she treated you unfairly. Now we’re getting somewhere.

The only thing that makes one person more special to you than a stranger is the memories you share together. Clearly, those need to be wiped by new memories; your brain has an amazing and unique way of suppressing memories to the back of your subconscious until it can manifest new content to deal with the potential threat that your emotions were once harmed by. So to hell with it, you’ve already lost it all – just go out and have a date, no matter how ugly, one night stand, and go to a strip club. This is all part of your one-day plan to set yourself up. You need to plant the seed, like some Inception moves. Now you have the knowledge that whatever you did makes you feel quaint, as before you met your evil ex.

As a friend of mine used to preach, “It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.” It’s only when you hit bottom that you’re capable to crawl your way right back to the top. The only action you can carry out is to form yourself into something new and improved. In that one day, go sign up for a 1-year gym membership and pay in full: that way, you’ll have wasted your money if you don’t go. Go to a job website such as snagajob.com and turn in no less than thirty applications: even if you don’t get a job, someone’s bound to call you back for an interview and that will give you the confidence to search for more. Like I’ve said before, go to a strip club, honestly. What you need is for someone to love you, even if it’s short-term. Anything to get you away from your previous relationship.

Set everything up now so that it will later feel as if you’re wasting your time if you don’t leave the house. You’ll have wasted your money with the gym membership, you’ll have almost had a job, you’ll have felt love from another person, and with all that you’ll feel like sitting in your bed crying for the majority of the day is a complete and utter waste of time compared to what you did in that one day. Plant that seed; perfect yourself.

Maybe this is not what you’re looking for. Maybe none of those things have occurred to you. Well here’s my advice to that: whatever crapshoot you may happen to be in, always make sure that you know, not fear, that it isn’t the end, and there is always something you can do if you set your mind to it.

I may feel jealousy towards others, towards situations or things, but mine is not one I would willingly change. The things that can be, one day slowly will be, but not if I sit here and wallow in self pity. Things don’t come too those who do nothing. I need to play an active role in shaping my future and setting myself goals.

I should not dwell on my past, or the things that can not be changed, nor should I lay blame too others who do not deserve it.

I have friends, and food and clothes, I have more than others have ever seen, more than they could ever imagine. I should learn too never forget this. To take pride in this, and too not be afraid, or ashamed by this. I am happy. I have grown and explored and laughed and loved and felt warmth inside of me. I have shown respect, and been given understanding.

I appreciate where I’ve grown, and where I am growing. 

So when I am quick to judge, or break or falter, when I am sad and down, I am never out or defeated.

I do not show you this, because I have always been afraid of it, and so I bottle it in, building it up, until I explode, as I have done many times recently, when it has been unwanted and unneeded of me. I want to show people, and I believe in doing so, this will no longer be an issue.

I am happy and content, and I am a free person within this world. I need to just remember this when times seem trying, and I need to remember how others may not feel the same.

I need to stop snapping at people when they can not help the path we have walked along, and I need to be honest with my words.

If sorry is only a word, I shall show sorry in my actions, in my writing, but most of all I shall lay this behind me, so that all that stands between is present and future, not scarred by the past. Why regret something we can not change, when the past is something that defines the past.

I am happy, and every day I am taking steps closer to my dreams, and further from my doubts.

I am happy, for myself and for my goals, and I am happy for you and the dreams you too are chasing.

I am not perfect, I do not want to be. I have many flaws, but they are a part of me.

I have more than most, I am happy.

The answer is it isn’t a big deal at all. If you say hello to someone as you are passing, do it loudly, clearly and confidently. If they don’t say hello back, just think to you “whatever”, smile and walk on. One of the best ways to boost our self esteem is to adjust the way in which we recognize ourself. People often underestimate their true value and this places limits on one’s thoughts and behavior. Start by imagining yourself as the person you really want to be.

The way we carry ourself also affects our state of mind. If we sprawl or slump, we are likely to be impassive and unenthusiastic about whatever we are doing. Pulling our shoulders back, keeping our head up and standing straight automatically makes us feel alert and prepared. Also ensure that we maintain eye contact whenever we are in conversation with someone.

It is a common inclination of unconfident people to remain unseen in large groups of people. By making it a point to walk up to the front and sit in the first row at meetings or assemblies, you are instilling a sense of self-confidence in yourself. It also gets you noticed by the important persons in the room.

We lose confidence when we cannot think clearly. It is common to feel nervous or inadequate when faced with important tasks. It is essential to face such situations with calm and ease. This is something that requires practice. Engaging in activities that bring you calm such as listening to music, taking a walk or gardening helps in bringing about a sense of well being. Doing such activities at least twice every week will go a long way in keeping you unruffled and composed even when faced with stressful situations.

Our diet and lifestyle play a key role in the way we think and feel. Poor nutrition can leave us feeling weak and unfocussed and an inactive lifestyle can lead to laziness. Hence to stay confident, it is necessary to eat right and stay active
