“I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think much more interesting to live not knowing than to accept answers that might be wrong. But i don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it actually is, as far as i can tell, probably.” -Richard Feynman-

Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.

Vegetarian Diet?

the evidence that vegetarian and vegan diets almost always cause a multitude of nutritional deficiencies is overwhelmingly conclusive.



During the course of a lifetime, vegetarian diets will not reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases and will not allow you to live longer. Rather, this abnormal way of eating will predispose you to a host of health problems and illnesses. Vegetarianism is an unnatural way of eating that has no evolutionary precedent in our species.
