Gosh, some ponderings and what not:

Why are there a great many people in this world that feel that it is necessary to talk about stuff that will not matter in the minutes or in the rest of their lives for that matter, after the conversation has ended?

Why are there people who find it OK to walk in the road where the cars drive when they could just move a bit over to their right or left, there's something called a sidewalk, and it is so much safer?

Why, when walking through the hallways at school and going from class to class, do some students prefer to just stop right in the middle of the hallway, ignorant of those who are considerate enough to keep moving and stay out of the way of student traffic?

Why, when working at a department store, workers find messes of clothes on the sales floor and in the fitting room when customers could spend just a few more seconds putting what they tried on back the way they found it? Then they complain that the store is messy, disorganized, and not shoppable.

Quite frankly, why haven't stores put up signs reading: "Please be kind and put that back where you got it from."?

Oh yeah, why are people obsessed with certain things that will get them nowhere whatsoever, no matter how great a feeling they get from it or not?

Why in the world do people debate the existence of a God? Let me put it this way: if the human race decides there isn't one and somehow 'proves' it, and there just happens to be one, and that one is very angry from our conclusion... hmmm... now think about it for a minute... yeah, we're SCREWED! So why do we risk?

Why is there arrogance, ignorance, pride, honor, and everything else that somehow makes somebody else look a little bit stupid?

Just thoughts that run through my head occasionally.

Re: Life's greatest mysteries
 

Why is it, when a human being first has a child, the parent is highly intelligent. In fact in the childs eyes the parent knows everything.

But then as the child gets older the parent gets stupider and stupider, until the child is 18, at which point the parent doesnt know anything about anything.

But then as the child gets older still, the parent starts getting more and more intelligent. Finally when the child has a child of its own, the parent seems to know everything (again). (Its almost like some weird time travel thing has happened, because it now seems like the parent knew what they were talking about all along)

How can this be ?!
