About Me



I am me. I have an opinion on everything and could rant on pretty much any subject at any given time. Some people consider my views on most things pretty different than the norm, but they also tend to see where I am coming from. I am simply an open minded individual who spends his time asking himself why about everything. Why is she a Christian? Why does he treat people like crap? Why did she shoot 20 random people? Why did we blow up another country today?I think I'm here just to think outside the box and help others do the same. You don't have to agree, but awareness is the key for everything. You will never see me pressure or persecute. You will just hear me ask, "Why?"

I'd like to meet:

Mike Einziger, Brandon Boyd, and Thom Yorke

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
