Controversial New Idea: Nerves Transmit Sound, Not Electricity

Article entitled "Controversial New Idea: Nerves Transmit Sound, Not Electricity"

It's an interesting article, which says one underlying thing quite clearly. Scientific theories are guess work in the end of the day. They are ultimately fallible human beings, as we all are, who can say things with an air of authority, but it doesn't make what they say the truth. Don't get me wrong. Science has discovered some amazing things, and has done some wonderful things for the world. But ultimately in the end of the day, every profession is simply reflective of human beings trying to grasp and understand a world that is beyond our true understanding. We can only share our perceptions of the little grasps of what makes it work.

Knowing that, can let me sit back in amazement at the world. It is more complex than it may seem. And it's Creator is the only one who truly understands it's mysteries.

Humor - What Makes You Laugh?

I wrote the following to a friend who asked me to share more of my thoughts about humor. He liked it, so I'll share it with you. It's in his zechus that I wrote this post down finally.

Humor is something I have thought a lot about, and I wouldn't be able to put it all down into a few sentences, but will do my best.

I like humor that uplifts me, or is witty (makes me think about something on a deeper level), or brings up happy nostalgic thoughts. Basically, I like the type of humor that leaves me feeling happy. Making fun of someone doesn't make me feel happy. And I don't believe G-d would ever want me to do it.And the times it has, I've usually felt bad afterward. The focus is negative, not positive. It necessitates putting someone else down for me to feel higher and better. It necessitates hiding ones anger behind duplicitous meanings, which I don't like.

I say if someone is angry, to be straight out about it. I like things that are genuine and straight, not having to guess whether someone meant or didn't what they said, and why they would have said it if not.To me, it is an elemental form of giving another human being respect, that even if I dislike someone, I do not like them to be made fun of.

It's a "common" practice, but to me it shows a lack of moral integrity. I can't say I've never laughed when someone is made fun of, and there are rare occasions when I've enjoyed it (like the person did something very very evil, and it was kind of cathartic to laugh about it.) But just as a sport, I don't like it.

I also don't like when people act silly in that way...I like being silly, please don't get me wrong. Just something about the 'way' it is done sometimes shows a lack of 'valuing' oneself and others.I'm not sure whether you can relate to it, but that's my take on it...

Like, I'm really 'not' into Jim Carrey type of humor...

Thought for the day: Do the halachos of loshon horah apply any differently to humor?

Have a wonderful empowering day. Do something good the noone knows about. Empower your soul by growing closer to G-d.

Finding a Job

Well, after a few days of seriously working to get a business together, I officially realized why people do this while working, or when they have capital backing them up. It takes time to build up a business and it's a good thing to have income in the meantime. (It takes capital too.) I am not the first person to try this and 'see for myself' and I'm sure I won't be the last. But let this be an advisory to any of you out there who have decided to get off the rat race and build something for yourself...

And have a great day!

And pray that G-d sends me something wonderful soon, and that I have the patience to trust Him until it comes!

Purim is on it's way...

And I went to NY Costumes on 11th and Broadway (on the East side, because Broadway cuts over), and bought me-self a costume :). It was really neat to go there, I enjoyed seeing the many different types of costumes, they had gypsy headresses, beer mugs for caps, masks, wigs, superman costumes, nurse, and all kinds of characters. I didn't have the time to really indulge as much as I'd have liked to, but it was fun.

I'm also in the process of setting up my mishloach manos for friends. I'm giving them a somewhat healthy variation of it. I'm sure they'll get enough of the other stuff as it is...so might as well add some good old healthy things like orange juice and raisins. I did get them some chocolate though...you know....and then there's mike and ikes and cookies...and I'm deciding what else to put in there. I plan to do some more shopping tomorrow...

I'm Back...Just a little bit

I've started out on my own doing online marketing and web branding analysis. Have opened up shop..kind of. So, please excuse my absences, dear readers. I have not meant to ignore you. I have been extremely occupied in trying to build up the beginnings of my own new company :). Wish me success...
