Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmmm, okay, I'm gonna try to give my best answers here, lol. Here goes nothing:

1.While it is true that nobody's pefect, we as human beings can at least attempt to get as close as possible to what we perceive as being perfect and the only way to achieve that is to practice.

2.Although it is usually not good to fight fire with fire, sometimes, just sometimes it is the only method that ends up making a difference.

3.I don't really know why anyone would try to deliberately fail, but if you do and you succeed anyway, then you must be really good at whatever it is that you're doing. I'd chalk that up as a win, lol.

4.I think that in general, peoples daily lives are filled with things we don't really want to do. Work is one of the primary things most people don't like doing, but we have to regardless. I think that the activities that we actually would rather be doing gets drowned out by the routine of everyday life, I can't speak for everyone though.

5.I'm not exactly sure how I would live my life differently, I guess I'd probably take more chances, a few more gambles. Other than that, I would just try to live my life as happy as I possibly can, like I try to do everyday.

6.My guess is that being alive is just going about your days just skimming through life, not really doing anything that excites you. On the other hand, truly living to me would be to actually take that time and have fun, enjoy yourself, really LIVE your life. Again, I'm only speaking for myself because we're individuals, so "truly living" can mean something completely different to someone else.

7.To be honest, I don't really 100% like either of those, lol, but if I have to choose then I would choose worried genius.

8.I really don't have a great answer for this one, I'm just gonna say that not everyone feels or believes the same thing, but often think that what they believe is the right thing. So naturally, opposing beliefs and opinions create conflict.

9.I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that although the idea of less work sounds great, the idea of actually enjoying my work and really truly looking forward to doing it sounds alot better to me.

10.Again, lol, I don't have a great answer for this one. I'm just gonna say that although knowledge is a wonderful tool that we crave, the idea of questioning yourself and realizing that you just might be dead wrong isn't something that we like fathom.

11. The BIRD IS the word.....it just is...don't question it, lol.

And now I'm done, hope I helped. LOL biggrin

If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why practice?
Hmm, better to try to improve than be stagnant.

If one has to become a monster in order to stop a monster, is it worth it?
Depends if you can change back after defeating the monster.

If you try to fail, and succeed, then which one have you done?
Failed.

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Stupidity.

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Stop procrastinating.

What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
Anyone can be alive, it takes courage to chase after life and truly live.

Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Worried genius

Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
Cause we are just fallible humans.

Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
More work I enjoy.

Why do we pursue knowledge, yet fear thought?
Instinct, knowledge is power yet we are taught to think like everyone else.

Exactly what word IS the bird?
????

1. perfecting one thing would not make one perfect
2. yeah, after all i would be a monster biggrin
3. well if you try to fail at a specific thing rather than generally then it makes sense since you still accomplished your goal of failing at the particular thing you were doing and accomplished your goal of doing that.
4. because people are stupid
5. idk, i dont think i would act differently at all although my parents would probably be dead razz
6. doing things that you personally want to do rather that what other people want
7. idk. i already don't worry about anything xD
8. because at least half of the people in those religions cant even figure out that their religion is based on love
9. work i enjoy doing
10. refer to my answer for 4. stupid too because knowledge requires thought...

1. If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why practice?
If you don't want to get better than don't practice. I mean basically you have to keep practicing in order to work toward perfect but really all you do is practice and get better and better but never quite reach perfection. But if we reached perfection than we'd be bored probably...so if you want to practice than do so.

2. If one has to become a monster in order to stop a monster, is it worth it?
Sure if you are the lesser of two evils and it is really needed to (and only way) stop the monster.

3. If you try to fail, and succeed, then which one have you done?
Well if you are saying that I succeeded at failing than I would have failed at what I was trying to fail at but succeeded as well. Technically I would have failed at one task and succeeded at the other goal I set (which is the goal of failing).

4. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Everyone has their reasons but I suppose it is probably because it's easier to do those things and we are made to think things should be done a certain way (and can't be done a different way) that might go against what we really want to do. Not to mention the whole "the grass is greener on the other side" thing.

5. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I wouldn't...I'd do whatever I felt like (like I do now) and not worry about what society thinks. Of course I might have decided to do different things in general...that didn't take so long or something.

6. What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
Anyone that is just being alive is merely going through the motions to exist without being true to their self and making their life truly great.

7. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Joyful simpleton...because it's more fun and you can learn not be as much of a fool. You can't control how much you worry...it's an emotional thing after all.

8. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
Because many people use their "awesomely correct" religion and use it how they see fit. People always interpret things differently and that is the same with religion. What's important to one is not to another. How one perceives love is different than the next person. That is the same for how people view what is right and just. But it seems that with religion that many seem to be stuck to the rules the set for themselves, based on their interpretation of their religion, as if they'd die a horrible death if they did anything else. What many don't realize is that views change as does the world...so to be so attached to one way of thinking causes problems.

9. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
More. I like doing because then it won't really be work...plus it's a vague question anyway. I mean more could mean just ten minutes extra sooo yea.

10. Why do we pursue knowledge, yet fear thought?
People fear thought? That's news to me...but we pursue knowledge because we are curious creatures that want the ability to do and know more. I guess I would say we don't fear thought but action...like acting on thoughts that seem abnormal.

11. Exactly what word IS the bird?
It is whatever you think it is...

If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, then why practice? Wrong, perfect practice makes perfect. People can be perfect some of the time, by practicing perfectly.
/marching band pep talk

If one has to become a monster in order to stop a monster, is it worth it?
Yes, if you are willing to lose it all. If aren't willing to lose it all, no.

If you try to fail, and suceed, then which one have you done?
Acted foolishly.

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
Because we conform too much, and don't indulge in our dreams enough.

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Eat more cake.

What is the difference between being alive and truly living?
Experiences.

Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
Joyful simpleton

Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
It is not the religions but the people who take them too far who create those wars.

Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
More work I enjoy doing.

Why do we pursue knowledge, yet fear thought?
I don't fear thought, who the hell fears that?
