Interesting videos I have watched

I can across a couple videos that I think people should watch and maybe you'll have a different perspective that you did before watching the video. I just found them to be quite interesting when it comes to the perception of life and altered states of the mind.

Your Life

Think about how many people are on the earth right this moment.... roughly 7 BILLION people. Now think about how many of those people will have zero impact on your life. Now think about how many billions of people have died over the thousands of years of human existence. Life is just, the people who make a difference are the people that took a chance. Think differently, take chances, talk to strangers, try new things and most importantly imagine yourself in someone else's shoes.

What are your "life" priorities?

It seems as if everyone I talk to has no idea what they want in life. Many simply go through the strides without thinking for themselves. If you don't know what you want in life how can someone think logically? Just a random thought.

Opportunity

Life is short, if you have an opportunity to do something great go for it. There's no such thing as a mistake, just lessons learned and sometimes you have to learn the lesson a few times before it sticks.

Thunderstorms and sleep?

Why is it that I love to fall asleep during a thunderstorm? There's just something about the sound of thunder that I find calming. Just a random thought.

America, Logic and Religion

I can't stand when people say America is the greatest country on earth when they haven't lived in other countries. How can you say this when you don't have any experience with other cultures or lifestyles? The same goes for religion in general. I see people all the time displaying their complete dedication to a religious faith yet do they have any experience with other religions? What if they were born in a different part of the world with parents who had different beliefs? In my opinion, religious influence generally comes from your parents so what if your parents believed in something else? How can the Catholics say that anyone who doesn't believe in their religion with go to "hell"? Religion to me is a waste of time and doesn't reflect true intentions. A person should be judged on their actions not on what they believe in. When will people wake up and understand that their life on earth is very should and shouldn't be wasted attempting to please an imaginary figure in the sky? Start caring for other people, make a difference in the world by doing whatever is it that you enjoy doing, and never hold a grudge. 

Government and Religion

When did politics and religion become so ingrained? The religious belief of a president/presidential candidate should have no voter influence but unfortunately if there was a agnostic of atheist candidate they wouldn't even get close to becoming president. America is so ignorant and behind other countries it's sickening. Wake up America and start being logical.
