October 26th Topics

NaNo Topic:
Furries Dilemma:
It's not the same from country to country, from land to land, from this world and that world, but it seems like everywhere you go, somebody is discriminating against somebody else. Do any of your characters have biases? Does one of your characters really truly hate a class of people? How will you build a world of love and light if your readers are used to bigotry? Take a moment to analyze your plans and discuss how embedded social stigmas might affect your novel, both for you as the author and for your rag tag band of merry ones.


Questions
"You've climbed the mountain to worship me and seek my advice," he said, "now what is your question?"


Sisyphus
You've just accomplished something worthy of a cheese burger and milkshake. What is it? What do you do over and over that has no value in your life? How do you go about being optimistic in the face of pessimism?

Questions by Wolfgang Glinka


Do you want to?

Would it be wrong?

Does it matter?

Who cares?

Would anyone know?

Supposing they did?

Would they believe us?

Is that important?

Would they understand?

Do you want them to?

Would they blame us?

Do you care?

Shall we do it then?

Do you want to?

it don't matter how and what you do about it. In fact you are forced into doing something. Differently to the believe of the "ruling" masses free will is a zephyr. So we following a program - nothing more or less than that.
Most of "our" decisions are taken by "the body". Even when we are think we are taking free will decisions - our stomach is doing most of the work - just prove it and compare with your own life.

So in the end: Sysiphos is a lucky man - somebody else is taking his decisions and responsebility and he can enjoy the work he has got and the nice view from the top of the hill :-)
