being efficient

[naacheez]

I've got a hamburger patty frying so I figure I'd update.  Have you ever wondered how inefficient our lives are.  Think about how much time is spent just standing under the shower, doing nothing really before and after soaping up.  You just stand there and think, daydream, obsess, philosophize.  Usually its daydreaming about how I'd make an awesome

this is way deep.

and its definitely something that bothers me a lot as well... i, too, am in AP english... and my teacher is an existentialist. so many times, our convos digress to things like death, being, existence, dimensions and time, and, ultimately, this question. while it's hard for me to really theorize without having a panic attack, i will say this--maybe it's the bad things that make people good, and the good things that make people bad. after all, if time is curved, then maybe its these positive and negative experiences that ultimately determine a person's character.

I suppose it depends, but many people have a different interpretation of "good" and "bad". There is really no normative sense of either word. Either both are judged on a relative scale or an absolute scale. What may be construed as "good" may be "bad" for another person and vice versa. Also, only God can judge if anyone ever deserves anything, as people hold only partial accounts of each other's lives; we can never have the complete story. Thus we are flawed and not impartial judges, regardless of how much we would like to think ourselves to be. Therefore, this question may be moot, as things may be completely fair in reality

Well I didnt read anyone elses comments because they were long and I am lazy. All I say is that if "good" things always happened to "good" people and "bad" things always happen to "bad" people, then how boring would life be? Life would be so predictable. How are you going to learn anything if you just go through life and everything is just handed to you? Everyone needs something bad to happen to them now and again so that they can learn from it and grow from it. Bad people need good things to happen to them because maybe they can grow from that too. Maybe they will become less bad or change their ways. I dont know. I never was one to worry so much about these things
