So I was reading and I came across this line...
" Isolation is the optimum environment for creativity. "
Is this true? Can this be what is holding us all back? The distractions of life?
Thoughts Please.

To be left alone
Hello All,
I was surfing on the web about daily news and such and I came across this.
http://eldib.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/us-military-buildup-on-iran-border-tehran-says-two-us-air-force-bombers-violated-iran-air-space-us-ready-to-strike-iran-in-early-april-intelligence-source/
It is an article stating that Russian Intelligence has noticed a build up of US activity along the borders of Iran and how the honchos might be considering a strike.
Again this all just alleged.
Realistically though, what can Iran really do to a country thousands of kilometres away? And what possible motive would they have for doing anything at all?
Finally...why are the US there in the first place? Who made them the police of the world?
Just some legitimate questions that I had... Any Answers?

Thought Update
Hello everybody!
Sorry I have not updated in awhile but what with No Rooz (First day of Spring), getting sick and the final haul in school I have been quite busy. For this Post I wanna talk about self motivation. I'll be honest, it is probably the hardest thing in the world. To me there is no such thing as something that is impossible. People that say certain things are impossible just view that certain goal as too much investment of time of either time or effort to be of any value.
Perfect example of this is me during the past week. I have had quite a full plate for the past 7 days and I will be honest, it is hard for me to get up and do anything. Take school for example. I am finding extremely difficult to not only get studying done, but to even care about the end result. It is not the subjects that I am learning, I love all the subjects that I am taking. I love learnind in general. It seems to be the mundane and completely robotic atmosphere that I seem to be exposed to every week. By no means am I blaming anyone or anything to my lack of drive as of late. My Profs are great and so are my classmates. I do not however enjoy the bureaucratic game of jumping through hoops for my University. The more I am in University the more it seems like that piece of paper that I will get at the end of my studies is more important than any sort of actual knowledge.
I am wondering whether deep down this is effecting my drive. Maybe I am wrong. Most likely I am reading way too much into my state of being. In fact it doesn't even matter whether I am right or not. The fact is when all is said and done only thing counts.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU PUSH YOURSELF!
It's about rising to meet the challenge. There comes a point when doing anything where you hit a brick wall and you have nothing but a hammer in your hand to knock it down. I guess this is where that old saying
"Patience is a virtue"
Comes in.
In any case what I am trying to say is that YOU are your greatest ally and biggest foe all at the same time. So knowing this, which one are you going to choose?

Net Neutrality
OK I was searching the net and I came across this video. It's about Net neutrality. Pretty much Net neutrality is the freedom of Information between users. No one owns or controls what we see on the Net unlike our friends on radio, newspapers, tv, movies, etc etc.
Now I think this is an important issue because lets face it, the net has opened up our eyes to worlds and worlds of perspectives, information, comunnication. Let's face it we as humans thrive when a form of community is opened up to us.
The best analogy I can give is Free Trade. When there is free trade everybody in the long run benefits from it. That is why we dont have free trade in this world. Only the Top figure heads in this world want control. You all know that example 90 percent of the words wealth is owned by 10 percent of people. Anyway corporations at least in North America have had a chokehold on information like the news outlets. However with the internet it grows so fast and so quickly that our fluid society is changing. To a society of steam. Corporations are behind in this process but they are slowly catching up. Just like all lovely Corporations, they want control. But anyway take a look at the vid and spread the word.
Thanks for you time guys,

Hi,
I don't know if anybody is reading this or ever will, but I have some thoughts in my head that I think are important. Be it about politics, culture, society,stories, music, art etc etc. Now I tell you this now. I did not start this blog to tell people what to do, how to live their lives, and what to think. In fact I started this blog to do the opposite. To show that there are different ideas out there and maybe open and expand some minds.
Even if I reach only one person to think in a different light, this blog would have been worth it. If I don't even accomplish that....then at least I killed some time between my birth and death.
I don't claim to be an expert on any specific topic. I also think there are too many "experts" out there already.
I am probably forgetting something really profound to write here but it's ok. It's my first time.
Wtih that I leave you with this. Thoughts breed Ideas. Ideas breed Actions. Actions breed Change. All I want people to do is think.
Thank you.
Avicenna
