What the world needs is different to what people need.

What people need is not the same as what they want.

We also want far more than we need.

Unfortunately it's not having that makes us happy, it's the getting. So once we have, we are then unhappy until we get more.

This is the question of the hour !

Thanks Neo for creating this.

Before I start writing something here, I would like to say this is not to offend anybody or anything, completely its my personal opinion.

If you still feel that you are uncomfortable reading this, I will let Moderator know about that to delete my reply rather than editing it.

Well said Porter, what world needs is entirely different from what people needs !!!

I feel without the people the world is kind of meaningless ( but still always there are other creatures adding meaning to that anyway )

I assume people to be predominant here and my options are

1) Fear of Sin
2) Gratitude

1 ==> The Absence of 'fear of sin' enables everyone's nerve to do the mistake; pretty well knowing thats a mistake, doing the SIN again knowingly. There is no fear factor in us and nothing reminds us unfortunately that we got to reap what we had sowed to the community.
Remember the returns to the sin is not time bound or perceivable within the scope of our perspective rather its a definitive entity.

This is not about an equation of adding +ve 's explicitly to the already committed -ve 's to neutralize the effect
You have to walk through the two different routes that you have created.

Sins committed in the dark never remains in the dark as many think.
Unnoticed sins will come to light one day for you wont have the strength to force the glowing light that pinches your mistake

Logically, you cannot hide yourself behind the horizon for the mistake you had committed

This is the most wanted fear everybody should have, for it flushes away the idea of momentary flash of committing a sin which really
strains others.


2 ==> Thanks - This word just comes out from the tongue and not from the heart.
Thank you - <U> - still an alphabet and none has been assigned for that when its said.
We take things for granted, for we think we have the right to get everything and its our rights. The conception of rights is definitely not right here.

Why do only a few enjoy the privileges and happiness while rest can't even imagine ? Spite of that why do we keep the word gratitude just as a word. How many do thank the nature for their self less service ?
What really made us to think that we deserve and have the right to have whatever we do have now !!!
The attitude of showing true gratitude would help us realize something like
"Am nothing without you all"

Let's be careful and not have any "religious debates"...

Actually, I was hoping to keep the poll (and thread) light (not heavy)......

On the other hand, feel free to express your opinion, but be mindful and respectful of others, since UNIX.COM has been visited by over 200 countries according to Google Analytics!
