The importance of Time

Image
Time is the greatest asset man ever had. Time as an asset is distributed equally among humanity, the only question is, how are you spending your time? The rich, the poor, the knowledgeable, the nonentity, the young, the old, the master, the slave, etc. all have the same proportion of time. There is a saying that "time is money". I can't agree less. According to The Bible, time is one of the first things that God created. Having the same proportion of time mentioned above has limitation. The only limitation known for now is talking about the life-span of individual.

In a nutshell, if an organism seizes to exist, the ripple effect might lead to total distruction of others. From the begining till now, every other creature are living for the purpose they were made. Most of the men and women today, do not know the reason for their existence. They are living a purposeless life, no plan, no pursuit, no projection, no target, no aim. The first step of discovery is to know that you are not here on your own. Definately, somebody predetermined where you are to be. That Supreme being too...

The men who prefer virtual girls to sex

BBC NEWS reported that, The men who prefer virtual girls to sex October 24, 2013 00:18The Japanese men happy with 'virtual girlfriends' By Anita Rani Presenter, This World Unless something happens to boost Japan's birth rate, its population will shrink by a third between now and 2060. One reason for the lack of babies is the emergence of a new breed of Japanese men - the otaku, who love manga, anime and computers more than sex. Tokyo is the world's largest metropolis and home to more than 35 million people, so on the face of it, it is hard to believe there is any kind of population problem at all. But Akihabara, an area of the city dedicated to the manga and anime subculture provides one clue to the country's problems. Akihabara is heaven for otaku. They are a generation of geeks who have grown up through 20 years of economic stagnation and have chosen to tune out and immerse themselves in their own fantasy worlds.
