    If nothing died (or was destroyed, rather), would we need to eat more than once?

    I third it. Especially when for me life's greatest defect is procrastination/ lack of motivation...because that work is destined never to get done :(

    All I have to say is that I am kind of glad you aren't. Though it would be a rather interesting world, considering how disturbing your mind is....
    And this is what I mean by how disturbing your mind is! Though it is a most awesome image :p lol

    Life's greatest defect for me, right at this very moment in time...hmmm!

    Easy! The fact that the UK and Australia are so damn far apart :p hehehe

    lifes greatest defect is that everytime something changes for the worse permanently a little bit of you dies.

    That a beautiful song will eventually lose its magic.

    And that someone you were so close to can become "that person you avoid eye contact with on the street."

    Life is a very broad word, so I'll abuse that and take you out of the context you intended for a moment. Humanity's defect is that we're afraid to try and fix our faults, so we pretend they don't exist. Just look at people who's lives revolve around sex and materials. It's regressive behavior, but so many people deem it acceptable because it's an easy way to live.

    We're afraid of admitting we've made mistakes, and we're afraid to fix them. I usually sound dumber than this, but I just wanted to make my point as clear as possible.

    This affects everyone, and it's frustrating knowing that you can't open everyone's eyes. All you can do better yourself. If enough people could do this, the rest would follow.

    I need to get into touch with whoever built life. I'll be reporting a bug.

    Well said Genesister.
    On another note, I'm still not GOD!!!!
    And life isn't responding to my letter of complaint.

    Quit judging people whose lives revolve around sex or material things. In this forum you are not at liberty to bash people like that.

    I knew it! Freedom of speech (or text) is a lie! 0_o

    And on subject, my current inability to get my lazy ass into gear and get started on writing a novel. I hope I'm not the only one...

    Freedom of speech? Sure, you're free to say what you want to.


    But don't be surprised when people get angry after you've poked and prodded them with your words...

    Done. If I cared at all about how the people I'm speaking negatively about would react I wouldn't have posted.

    On topic, I'm procrastinating too much today.

    I second that. Acne sucks! But look at it this way, we'll be less prone to wrinkling in our later years. :p

    Life has so many defects, but through God we can be whole.

    I think life's greatest defect is that we're selfish people. We can't help it. We're only human. But once again, through God, we're given a home in Heaven and made holy.

    Well (not to be offensive to christians) in my opinion lifes greatest defect is the lie of "God" ... or more precisely false hope.
    cause I believe it all to be a lie

    Well, that's okay. You can have your beliefs, and I can have my beliefs. No hard feelings. :D

    If it was a lie, though, I wouldn't consider it the greatest defect. There are so many horrible things. Like the men, women and children in poor countries who starve all because of leaders who hoard resources. The hate crimes. The way we look at people funny just because their skin is a different color than ours.

    Oh, there's one. Racism. That has to be one of the greatest defects. Or bigotry in general. Why must we be so intolerant of everybody else? As the famous lyrics by the Christian band dc Talk go, "We're colored people and we live in a tainted place."
