How: Should We Express Ourselves? By Our Choices Or Our Abilities? (Asked By Sierra)

       Our expressions are an extension of ourselves. Whatever we do to express ourselves is how we know what our true colors are. Really the way you choose to express yourself doesn't matter. But what you do while you're being expressive is.
        This question for me can't really be answered with a firm answer. There's no way to justify everyone expressing themselves in one way. Expression is like imagination. No one can tell how to do it. It's all your own. So if you choose to express yourself with a choice is up to you. If you choose to express yourself by ability that's all you. No one can tell you otherwise.
       Of course many people may disagree with me...And if you do please feel free to explain why. This is only my opinion of the question! So go ahead and tell me...How should we express ourselves?

What: Is More Important? Appearance Or Substance? (Asked By Connor)

       To answer this question honestly you have to think about the type of person you are. Are you the type of person who thinks mostly about outer appearance or do you look at personality and the type of person they are. People these days are among the shallowest. They don't see a person for WHO they are, they see them for WHAT they are. Which is unfair, wrong, and hurtful.
       Someone's appearance can change. Take make-up for example. A girl can do A LOT with make-up... She can completely hide what she looks like from day to day and you wouldn't even know. As for guys they can be just as fake as a girl. They can hide their true interests and be who they think you want them to be. A girl can do the exact same thing, and really they probably do it more. What I'm trying to say is, with all of that, people can end up hurt, very quick.
        Who someone IS, is different than who they WANT to be or who YOU want them to be. When you're open enough to let someone be who they truly are then you're relationship will be stronger. No one will have to pretend with the other. There won't be anything to hide because everything will be out on the table. That seems pretty simple...but for a lot of people, trust me it ISN'T.
       Now that's just relationships...With ANYTHING this question can be asked to. But to make it simple...Or the question at least...Would you rather have something LOOK really good...or would you rather have it WORK really good? Well that's the best I can dumb it down (no offense).
       So answer the question...Appearance or Substance?

Why: Do People Think When People Die They're In A Better Place When Really They're Away From The People They Love? (Asked By Anonymous)

"I See Life As A Gift From God.

Now That He Wants It Back I See No Right To Complain"

-Joyce Cary

      Life I believe is a gift. A gift that isn't suppose to be just given back (suicide) or taken back by force (murder) it's suppose to be...surrendered. People die because of many reasons. From sickness to natural causes.  When someone dies, people all say "Well now at least they're in a better place," is it because they are  trying to hide the pain they're in or do they genuinely believe that? 

       When someone's dying I don't believe they're all too worried about the people they're leaving behind here...Especially religious people who believe they're going to Heaven. They'll be HAPPY to surrender their life back to God (or whatever higher power they believe in). I also think it's kind of selfish of the people they were close to, to think that they should still be alive. I'm not saying I haven't done that (I have), but I've come to realize...Being alive here on Earth isn't a walk in the park. If they get to escape this place, then we should be happy, no matter if you're religious or not, this is a good practice. 

       I don't know if there's an "After Life" but I do know that life itself is complicated, tiring, pain inflicting, saddening, maddening, etc and with all those jumble of emotions, why not embrace death when it calls you? You'll be at PEACE....Helloooo "REST IN PEACE". So who knows if someone is going to a better place? But what right do we have to say they should still be with us? 

       Those are just my thoughts...Why do you think?
