Art isn’t about beauty, in the dictionary, art is literally “producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power”. If you want other people to give you their money, you have to do something that they are willing to pay you for. What is art? Who says a piece of anything is considered art? Why are some paintings so expensive and not accessible to everyone? Wealthy buyers will shell out hundreds of millions of dollars for a work of art. So, what makes some art so valuable?

The greatest threat to humanity remains humanity. If worrying about aliens, bigfoot, reptilians, dog men, shadow people wasn't enough, we now have to go and start messing with human-made robots. It's not going to be up to us at some point on whether or not robots are going to be good or bad for humanity - after the singularity, they will decide. Once the robots have AI (artificial intelligence), self-awareness, and free will, it will be game over.

Whenever I hear about a hiker seeing a staircase 4 or 10 miles in the woods, I start to wonder what would be the purpose of the staircases in deep wilderness. And I think of everything from stairs being aliens' disembarking ramp from UFOs to stairs being an entry into a dimensional portal. To them being stairs that are present at that exact position but in a parallel dimension becoming visible in our aspect anonymously. Maybe that's why they are there one day but gone the next. I think we're living in some Matrix and these stairs lead out of it.

What took us from living in caves to be an advanced, multilingual, intelligent species? If, as a scientist and inventor, I somehow discovered a way to make interdimensional portals, and the portal abides by nature and the laws of physics, and if the portal will only appear if appropriately constructed, is the portal patentable? What do we really know about the science and technological capabilities studied behind closed doors?

How many of us hate the person we have become? Our sins have driven us off the path of the Lord. We know this, yet we struggle internally. Our hearts are so massive and hurting so badly. Our fear is we won't be able to let go of the past, and one day our heart will give out. Father give us grace as we try and find our way back home. You did not come this far just to come this far. Keep it pushing you guys, it is the year of change, and this is the year of abundance.

A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue, his sword defends the helpless, and their might upholds the weak. A knight’s words speak only the truth, their wrath undoes the wicked, they live and remember their oath, and they follow the old code. Be without fear in the face of darkness, and be brave and upright so that God may protect you.

How can you tell or write exciting stories? I have a friend who always gets halfway through her story, and she feels the need to hurry it up because she’s like, "God, I've spoken for so long." And she thinks people lose interest, so she shuts down. Why is that? We all know people like this who doubt themselves. Their feelings probably aren't wrong, but they don't know how to interpret them, it seems. If this is the case on how they are about the matter, two things might have gone wrong with how I think about it.

Why do so many people go missing in our national parks? Why do national parks not release how many people vanish in their parks? Why is it that over half a million people vanish in the national parks in the United States a year, and we, the public, are not told? How is it that in countries worldwide, over a million people vanish from their national parks every year, and the public is not told?

Freedom of the press is without question a must to protect the people from a possible corrupt government. But who or what protects people from a possible corrupt press? The networks that are subject to benefit from the content of its broadcasts? Networks are owned or funded by massive corporations, private entities, and or donors who are in the business to make money, not lose it.

The notion of a King's ability and courage is to sacrifice himself for something higher than himself. A king is a man that looks for ways to make an environment where beauty can grow. What is a good king's single most important quality? Do we have a king’s heart inside of us? Can we all be kings and queens? Who was the wisest king in human history? For one to become a king, does he first need to be a warrior? What qualities make a great king?

We humans we are so caught up in our daily lives with work, bills, family, deadlines, and just day to day stress. Our values are decreasing so fast. Movies, music, and the dark side is drawing us in, and we don't even know this real-life matrix that we are currently living in. We are sacrificing our God-given right to choose free will by being guided into falseness.

Maps can be useful in war, but many of the things they are helpful for can be achieved by other means, at least to an extent. An ancient or medieval commander wouldn't have an accurate map of the land he's campaigning on, but reconnaissance could help him learn about it. He might not have a map of the battlefield he was fighting on, and if he did, then it would probably be very primitive, but again reconnaissance could help him learn about it.

Only the arrogance of man would have the world believe that we are the only ones out there in this tremendous, ever-expanding universe. There is a movement of thousands of government officials who are ready to testify in front of Congress so that we, as a people, can get the world powers to stop all evidence's interference and bring it all forward.

The Department of Defense pays a visit to an inventor, "Oh...What do you got there?” they say. The inventor replies excited, "I just invented this anti-gravity device”! (The inventor and his invention later go missing, and he stops posting publicly.) Media (on command from the elites): "Too bad we can't verify these results. There was no anti-gravity device; it was most likely a weather balloon". Before an anti-gravity engine is created, we must first discover how gravity works.

In times past, long ago, there was a time of endless bloodshed, tears, and lost hope. Betrayal, greed, the lust for power, and darkness overshadowed the lands. Earthly kings wanted more gold, more properties, and more power. All hope was almost lost, and the memory was fading away until one young princess changed the course of history with a smile and her love for her father....

This story is for everyone who has ever had a dream. We all have thoughts that seem impossible at one stage. But when we achieve that one, the satisfaction and the sense of fulfillment is fantastic. Ninety-nine percent of the people you tell your dream to will say to you, "Good luck with that." You want to win the lottery, and they will tell you the odds of you winning, so why bother.

Why do you get out of bed every morning? Are you a leader? Do you see yourself as a leader or a follower? Are you one of the people that leaders work to keep safe? What is the difference between a manager and a leader? What makes a good leader, in your opinion? Have you ever experienced a bad one? How can someone else's personality or confidence intimidate someone else? We must take the initiative in our lives to become great leaders.

La única "maldición de la lotería" es la maldición de la estupidez; dicen que el dinero no puede comprar la felicidad, entonces no sabes dónde comprar o cómo hacer un presupuesto. Se ha dicho que si toda la riqueza del mundo se dividiera equitativamente entre todas las personas en unos pocos años, el que tuviera la mayor riqueza antes de la división sería rico nuevamente, y los pobres se verían privados todavía. La riqueza es una forma de pensar, de ser, la riqueza no presisamente tiene que ser la cantidad de dinero que tengas.

We have only explored five percent of the ocean. The ocean takes up 70 percent of our planet's surface. By that logic, we only know about 25 percent or our planet's geography. The sea is like the Earth's lungs, breathing in and out, supplying the Earth with life and balance. We don't know exactly how old the Earth is. We don't know how deep the deepest part of the ocean is. We don't know how vast the universe is.

It's a dark time when a book of fiction is banned. This book is 1984. The book was banned in the United States and North Korea for being communist propaganda. It was prohibited in Russia and China for anti-communist propaganda. Who was George Orwell before he wrote books? His name was Eric Blair, and as a young man he worked for a department of the British government in the 1930s.
