Looking at love

Love has different dimensions and different levels of complexity. Sure there is love in animals too, but if you start talking about frogs and flies, that would be taking it a bit too far. All of them do not display the same kind or intensity of love.

In humans, in a male female relationship, sex only compliments love and not the thing itself :|
What is a lot more absurd is the assumption that it plays any role in animal love. Non mammals dont even have orgasm for hells sake.(same goes with most mammals esp females) Its it almost solely hormonal and can even be painful. In any case they cannot experience the pleasure in a human level, let alone make that an activity that compliments a relationship.

Man’s ancestors,the apes are divided in to chimpanzees,gibbons,gorillas and orangutans.
Male chimpanzees are polygamous and opportunistic-they tend to mate with which ever female comes in to season.

Gibbons ,how ever,establish a pair bond relationship that often lasts for life,they are familial and mutually supportive.
In a gorilla group,the silverback,the dominant male,has his pick of his females,though he may show special favour and develop a more lasting relationship with one or may be two.

Orangutans are solitary,or at most a unit consisting of a female and may be one or two children,to which group adults pay occasional visits.

I believe that,even evolved men and women are characterized in such different groups who has their own different instincts…one can not say its completely one genders fault in a non working relationship.

Evolved from Animals ?

Evolutionary theory states that all organisms on the planet evolved from a common ancestor.That is - after abiogenesis occurred, each organism evolved from that first organism. I will give you a very quick and easy “evolutionary tree” that is more or less accurate. Bear in mind that this took millions upon millions of years.

First organism - organism A (single celled) spread out into millions of different but isolated populations. Each population evolved (independent of each other) to suit the environment in which they lived, forming millions of (multi celled) B populations, each with different traits so they no longer resembled organism A and did not resemble the other B organisms. These evolved further into millions of C populations - each with similar differences in traits as Organism B.

Okay - now, forward this millions of years and you see millions or organisms that no longer appear to have many similar traits except for the base shared traits required by the overall environment of earth ie: they are all carbon based and require respiration through an exchange of naturally occurring gasses that occur in large amounts on the planet - like oxygen or carbon dioxide.

Forward this a few million years and those creatures evolve further - some are now land bound and can no longer survive in water. Some can survive both on land and in water. Eventually some population of organisms evolve into mammals - Call these M1 - these mammals split into various populations (just like organism A) and evolve independently of each other. Soon, you have populations of M2 - the next step in animal evolution - one of them is a population of primates. Call this P1.

P1 separates into thousands of different populations that evolve independently of each other and into thousands of P2 populations that are all different. One population of P2 - following the model already provided) evolves into homo sapiens (modern humans)

That is how we evolved from animals.

What drives a nation ?

What drives a nation ? Is it the religion ? I surely don’t think so.

Is there a bliss in knowing the prices of all the fruits in the market, cramming them and remembering them and passing and scoring good marks in the quiz contest, or test which would ask you the prices of all the fruits. Or is it more blissful to eat and taste all the fruits ! Whats the use of knowing each and every bit of technology of a fan, when it is impossible to think we can enjoy fan’s air whenever we want or all the time ?.

Hello ? Electricity cuts at night -If the government has right to cut electricity whenever they want at night time, then they also have a duty to tell me what should i do, when you take my electricity away from me, at night, for which i am willing to pay with my hard earned money.

At night time when you cut my electricity,What should i do, dance ? sing ? Any person who is voting a candidate, just because, he is warrior of a panth, or he speaks for your religion, he represents your religion, your fucking cult, which you think is indispensable for your morality and pride, is blind on a purpose.

That candidate must prove that religion can provide infrastructure, electricity, food, medicine, healthcare etc to people. The religion, i understand, is one of the needs of people in a society, in which it exists, but religion by no means is the deterministic factor, which can solve all the problems of society in the world today !
It may have been a wonderful thing, in the past, but religion is irrelevant to the world today. The computers run on electric city, not by prayers.

Why there are religious political parties if a nation is secular ?

Religious political parties in a secular nation, dont make any sense, it makes a nation pseudo secular,isn’t it ?

Explaining entropy

Entropy is the taking the concept of Thermodynamic Equilibrium and applying it to all energy. This can be tricky so I will approach it carefully.

First it is important to understand that entropy is not the absence of energy but rather a point in which energy is perfectly balanced. My favorite example is using Newton’s Law of Motion. Imagine that you are in a car travelling at one hundred miles an hour, perfect entropy would mean that you would continue to travel at one hundred miles an hour indefinately. Because “objects in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force” and etropy means there will be no outside force, there would be nothing to slow you down.

The “All Entropy Statement” says that all reactions move from a state of low entropy to high entropy. This is best defined by looking at heat. (Which is why it is normally associated with Thermodynamics in the first place.) Heat radiates outwards in the system eventually reaching the point where the heat in the system is the same as the reaction itself and the radiation is no longer measurable… In other words, if you place a pot on a stove there will come a time when the pot reaches the same temperature as the stove and the stove is no longer heating up the pot.

This concept applies to isolated systems where heat and other forms on energy cannot enter or leave the system. If energy can enter or leave the system, thermodynamic equilibrium (and thus full entropy) cannot take place

Speechless Quotes

Usually i pick optimistic and energetic quotes. but this time i decided to pick some random quotes which makes mind go speechless. It might sound pessimistic to some people, but that’s what these quotes are. Don’t forget to drop your comments about these quotes.

1)I stand in a room. A room without any doors. The room is white and plain. The room as no doors, just corners. Every corner I look at are answers I seek. However, the answers I seek are not being answered by my questions. I hope, but my unanswered hope has no hope. I stand in a white room with no doors, wanting a way out.

>>Don’t know what to say about this quote. Highly pessimistic and perhaps such situations comes atleast ones in life of every person.

2) Success and failure are both difficult to endure. Along with success come drugs, divorce, fornication, bullying, travel, meditation, medication, depression, neurosis and suicide. With failure comes failure.

>>Simple, yet touchy. That’s why i like this quote.

3) Good people are good because they’ve come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. I dont agree..The world don’t agree..but i still like it..its beautiful.

>>This quote makes me laugh, as it reminds us about our teenage life.

4) If You have nothing to lose, All that you can lose is your tension and your worry, your little-mindedness, fear, anxiety,fear, anxiety, tension and worry in the small, little mind.

>>i’m speechless after reading this quote.

Do drop me comments,what you think about these quotes.
