Name a quirky tradition from your place of origin, an example: From where I lived in Indonesia, it was required, that if you drove down a cat with your car, you must get out and bury it in your shirt.
A newly-bred woman shouldn't take part in any activities related to kitchen until about a month or so of her marriage. This is the work of her sisters-in-law or mother-in-law or anybody but her...though of course it's broken many times. Everybody doesn't have sisters-in-law/mothers-in-law and even if they have, not necessarily they are to be this good...
What does 'friendship' mean to you?
Nice tradition , but I think that everyone has to take another shirt always reserve. :)Quote:

What "Freedom" mean to you?
Freedom like most things worth having is only an unreachable ideal. You can never be completely free, there are always the laws which govern matter and energy if nothing else. The best you can hope for is to become an asymptote to freedom, which would necessarily mean absolving emotional bonds and not being held captive by the subjectivities(similar to Plato's universals;how you feel when you read, etc; No, nobody else uses the word in that context, I think) that we feel for things we love(like reading). To me this isn't perferable. So with freedom, like with all great things(except subjectivities) we need moderation. That means that freedom in the practical sense means to be sovereign of what you do and to have discipline.
What does the word 'love' mean to you?
Love, let me see. It's a tricky question, a really tricky question indeed. I would associate love with all the feelings, that when all gathered together, there's no need for more to be added.
What it means for me? Well, that's a whole other story. Love means everything for me. It's like waking up each morning with the suns' rays galantly touching ur face, making you thrive and in the same time capable of doing anything. Love is the feeling of feelings, of which without we are nothing but a mere grain of sand in the wind.
What would do if you found out that the world you were living in isn't as you pictured it would be?
//sorry for any misspellings :blush:
I have given this a lot of thought often and frankly,I don't know.There are some ideas,solutions or answers that come to one only when one is faced with a situation that needs this action.
This morning sixteen people died in a boat that drowned in a lake nearby.Many said:how is it possible that in this half warm weather these people were not able to swim or find another way of saving themselves?But then,one should also take in consideration the fact that these people were very scared and shocked and they knew not what to do.
I am not suggesting that it would be the same situation,I am merely saying that one never knows.I personaly think that I cannot be shocked easily,but fortunately,that still remains to be proved.
Do you think that civil disobedience is justified?
yes, depending on the situation... it seems a good way to keep governments and systems of government changing, evolving, progressing... especially with governments that are now defunct (most, in this world)...
However I do think peaceful protest/disobedience is much better than violent, but depending on your viewpoint and beliefs I guess violent protest and rebellion can sometimes be justified...
anarchy serves its purpose as well... also some laws are ridiculous and disobedience is the often a way to point this out, to bring attention to this fact... look at the US patriot act...
Do you think life has a meaning, or are the nihilists right?
