CloseAre celebs/famous people the 'real' main characters? This made me remember what Cetsa said - If you don't make a name of yourself in the way, how would people know you exist? (paraphrased cuz I can't remember the whole thing >.>)
I love how this thread is turning into philosophy talk x)

Maybe I'm just very arrogant, and see myself as being the most interesting person I know.. :P That could be chalked up to me being me, and I know everything about me so of course I think I'm interesting. But a lot of things do happen to me, and people just seem weirdly attracted to me. In school, I started to get really annoyed at my friends crowding around me to chat, so I'd move away. Slowly but surely, they somehow ended up back around me again.. sometimes not even slowly. o_o I've always thought of myself as the "leader" of every friendship group, too. I'm always designated to be the one who goes and does the stuff, you know? Without me, it felt like they'd all just fall apart and never talk to each other again.
In the rest of school, I'd be the "main character" of the class too, always being made to answer questions or go out of the room to get something from another room.. or make displays in the hallway.. or stand up and do impromptu demonstrations.. Just everyone gave me this vibe that I was the centre of it all (not in an egotistical way.. well okay, maybe a little). Perhaps I'm just very immodest or have something wrong with my brain that makes me think everyone is looking at/talking about me. Maybe I have Schizophrenia or something..
In my experience, celebrities aren't really followed much other than who they're bangin' or whatever. I don't think 'sex' counts as a main questline. XD
I think any thread which allows us all to ask questions about life is gonna turn to philosophy eventually. I'm just so very happy I was part of that downfall!

Heh I'm kinda similar to you yet in a different way then - I'm not exactly the nicest/friendliest person in school yet I still get invited to parties. A lot. Dunno what the heck's their problem really.
Something that pops into my mind is, since (older) people these days keeps complaining how shitty the music is now, say, would the 'parents' in the era of queen/beatles/elvis etc etc thinks the music that time became crap too, and that the music in their younger/teenage years were better??

On the topic of solipsism, I wouldn't say that I'm the main character as the center of attention of others.
Not that my surroundings would be all made up either. I blend in and would probably not be very interesting to the environment, but it's the greater scale as that of the universe that I feel I would be significant to (although I feel as I wouldn't make a difference in that area anyway).
Is it even possible to speak of solipsism without coming off as arrogant?
Putting yourself in the center of the universe.

My question has been why can people be nice to each other. People are meant to other people for no reason at all and it got me to the point where I don't want to talk to nobody at all.

Yeah I hate it when people are nice to each other too. Damn.
Fun fact: IMO people who think they are the 'be all end all' are full of themselves and a threat to society as a whole

Sorry. :( I don't mean to be so cool, but everyone loves me!
In all non-arrogant seriousness, it's unfortunately true of most friendship groups I've seen. Everyone clings particularly well to one person, and will only meet the others if that person is there as well. Without that person they just stop being together. Thankfully it stopped after I started avoiding people, I was pretty fed up with being that person. Either everyone manned up and actually did stuff of their own accord or actually decided to speak to other people for a change.

I don't see any problem with just sticking with a few buds rather than be in a big group where you're only actually familiar with a few of them. Nothing wrong with being in pairs or in a small group of 3. Also if they just 'stop being together' because of some dumb leader, then maybe they're not worth making acquaintances/friends with.
But back on topic, why is ice tea just so damn good??

It's just that they're young, shy and nervous. They don't know who else to speak to or hang out with to begin with (or who to trust to do schoolwork with which was the case most of the time), and need some form of gluey leader to hold them together. This was kind of a long time ago, though.
Ice tea is okay.. I much prefer it warm.
On that note.. Why does warm food give you more energy than cold food?

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Probably because warmth in itself is energy? I dunno. Maybe it warms you up so you don't have to spend energy on warming yourself up?
It could also have to do with the different nature of the things you eat warm and those you eat cold.

^ Thermodynamics, yes.
New question : "What are you... stupid?" or "What... are you stupid?"

Dunno.
Asieri, why not attempt to be the main character in your own life? And Caz, whether or not you're "player one" you are the main player in your own life. Each of us has a unique viewpoint on the world; we might as well use it.
I guess the afterlife thing is one of my most pressing questions- the idea of simply ceasing to exist is not a pleasant one; the idea of permanent hell is even worse.. But I guess my true question is, "When I leave this world, will I be fulfilled? Will I be loved and remembered, and leave the world a better place than I found it? " I'll do my best to make sure the answer is yes.

Don't you just love how it cycles endlessly?
here we are again, another morning, another day, yet the question promptly returns and remains the same.
Samsara for sure.
My biggest question is :
Is honor gone?
Are we simply not obligated to obey what have we said?
Do we turn on our friends, when they prove not to be of use?
Is it okay to attack someone(physically or mentally) out of pure boredom, or fear?
Do we no longer turn to the fact if someone insults you?
Is it okay that we no longer uphold the virtues of courage and friendship?
I refer to these questions, as I think that honor is dead. It seems to me that nowadays the point of all things is to be as evil as you can be to other people, and watch out they don't do the same to you.
What do you think, folks?
