That I'm not awake and doing something productive.

I'm one of the lucky ones, I only need around 4 hours of sleep to feel great. I've been that way since I was a kid. I regret that I sleep that much, I can push it down to 2 or 3 hours for a week or so, but it usually catches up and I will sleep for 7 or 8 hours. Then feel horrible for sleeping that much.

Most of the extra time I either work or educate myself with that extra time. I enjoy my work so pu1lling 10 to 16 hours in a day doing stuff you love is awesome.

Think of it this way, I'm 42, if the average 42 year old sleeps 8 hours a day they have been asleep for 14 years...... If I only sleep 4 hours, I have 7 more years of life experiences and time for learning..... Which is an advantage, and I will take all the advantages I can get.

I became a parent at 17. Then our second child came into the world when I was 20. The biggest challenge for me then was to earn enough to support not just myself but also my wife and two kids.

We eventually had 4 kids. Supporting them financially is still a challenge.

The biggest change in my life was that I had to care not just for myself but for my offsprings and wife as well. I think this contributed to my resilience. Parenthood will teach you many things and being patient is one of them.

Less sleep. Less free time. And definitely less "us" time with the missus.

I find myself worrying about the child more than I would like to admit. I'm always thinking about "what if" and go take a bunch of precautions.

Furthermore, as a parent, I found myself taking financial decisions more seriously and become involved in more investment ventures and smart savings because I hope my son will benefit from what we built for him later on.

Something I noticed about a year after my daughter was born was that since we had her, I've never been bored. It seems like now, for basically the first time in my life, I never have enough time to do all of the things that I want to do. I never spend enough time with my family, enough time working, enough time exercising, or enough time on my hobbies.

Not that I'm complaining; the joy of getting to know my daughter easily outweighs all of the added challenges.

simply-me (58) · 7 years ago

Gaining weight is a lot easier than losing it. Prevention is better than cure, so as soon as you notice that your weight is going up, do something about it. Here's what I do. I weigh myself everyday and if I see an alarming increase, I start eating less. I drink more water and I get myself some green smoothies. Its difficult but I try really hard. And I try to reduce carb and replace bad carb with good ones like sweet potatoses

danthundercloud (51) · 7 years ago

do to an injury that i received several years ago, my ability to perform several every day physical activities was drastically reduced. for a time i had to rely on a mobility scooter just to get around the house. of coarse the lack of exercise caused my weight to sky rocket.
now with new pain medication and a tenz unit i'm becoming more active.
tips on loosing weight that have worked for me:
a 2000 calories a day diet.
more vegetables and fruits.
no soda or candy, no cakes or dessert pies or pastries.
coffee lemon juice prune juice and mineral oil are effective diuretics and laxatives.
drink a liter of plain water a day.

How does Vote Selling benefit the sellers & buyers and Steemit as a whole?

simply-me (58) · 7 years ago

mykos (65) · 7 years ago

My answer would be vote selling hurts if steemit wasn't a complicated platform. Steemit is a very complicated platform and the effect of vote selling is hard to calculate.

For example at first glance one would clearly go this is a bad idea. However, when you add into the scenario bad distribution, bad curation or none at all. You begin to see without both manual and automated systems steemit may actually be worse off without voting bots and the like.

Let's consider a steemit without vote buying and selling for a moment. Sounds good but you'd in theory have less distribution. For example, the largest holders of sp may also be the most busy people. Which means they may do very little in the curation department if anything at all.

Let's say to remedy that they delegate their sp to some other person who can go about curating. Well now you have alot of influence in power in the hands of one person with a specific opinion and set of ideas. This person may only be interested in a particular subject of steemit posts.

In short as bad as vote buying sounds. It may actually make the steemit economy more sustainable. That is a theory but based on the already bad distribution on steemit. Massive concentration of influence ot less than 1%. Then statistically its no reason to believe distribution would be better without an automated voting service. If anything it would have to still be worse.

$0.00

aamin (55) · 7 years ago

I will answer only the last part: Vote selling hurts the steemit platform far more than anything else. Vote buyers are greedy or ignorant of the long term effects of their actions. Voting is to the advantage of both the voter and the user being voted. If no one is buying votes, the sp holders would still have to vote in order to enjoy the benefits of curation as well as for the value of steem to appreciate.

What's the point of achieving anything at all in life coz when you die you can't take it with you?

steemapple (48) · 7 years ago

kristiankho (42) · 7 years ago

lets reframe the question eh?

"why do nothing when you're living if you have a whole eternity do it instead?"

Both questions are equally legit. You DONT have to do anything at all with your life. Nature doesn't care, the universe doesn't care.

There is no purpose to life. Well, there is kinda one technically, biologically your purpose is to pass on your DNA and ensure that the Homo Sapiens does not go extinct. maybe that's the only thing nature cares about when it comes to what you should do.

It's all about perspective. Because there is no "greater purpose" in life, Life is exactly what you make it to be. Be it good or bad.

I dont care about what happens to me after i die the same way i didnt care what happened to me before i was born. This lifetime is what i have and you damn right im going to make the best of it with what i have.

We can talk about it more if you are interested in a civil discussion. It's 2.25am now as i type this and my mind isnt exactly sharp.

sakujo (39) · 7 years ago

Great answer. The evolutionary definition is always useful to think about, and I've thought about this question a lot too! I've come to the same conclusions - that we were created and built to survive, and that our existence is most likely at least unknown to us within our ability to know. However, if and when you accept that we exist to survive and to prosper, then it can make life a lot more exciting! There should be pride in living a life aimed at prosperity imo.

Religion is man made and heaven is a place on earth.. Or is heaven even a place? Heaven is an idea. Your heaven is different from my heaven. The idea of heaven is to motivate us to do good. But even without that idea, doing good is always uplifting.. Once you do good, you realize how good it feels and you would want to do more. It's nothing to do with religion.

Human beings are motivated either by pain of pleasure. Simulate enough of both, and you will be able to manipulate/motivate someone.

We are so easily manipulated because we generally lack the ability of critical thinking. We blindly accept facts that others teach us in schools, workplaces, at homes, etc... Many of us never ask ourselves if the words, facts or anything that other present to us is true. We are easily manipulated because we don't think, or we don't want to think.

Humans are generally trusting creatures, from the day we were born we learned to live by putting our trust to people who take care of us. Unknowingly a baby learns how to survive depending on who they are with and with that in mind people grow up.

Whether a human was pampered or not you can still manipulate them, its just the effort it takes to gain their confidence in you which is hard but by gaining their trust and after that you can basically have them do anything depending on how deep your connection with them is.

We don't die. Our bodies die. We remain - that is our consciousness continues, only - for a while - we no longer have the physical body to identify with and play around in. We realise when we "die", if not before, that we are not these bodies but eternal beings of love and light who can play many games in many types of bodies in many universes. When bodiless, we can review all of our life experiences, and understand them, and accordingly choose what our next incarnation will be.

Sin is vice or viciousness - the absence of virtue.

Virtues include love (real selfless universal love), peace, joy, humility, compassion, honesty and so on - there are many other virtues, and they are all characterised by selflessness, unity, and freedom. Virtues are qualities of the soul, and they are innately natural to us.

Sin is the inverse of these sorts of qualities, such as hate, violence, greed, arrogance, cold-heartedness, deceit - there are many more sins also, and they are characterised by selfishness, manipulation, and restriction. Sin is alien to the soul (albeit natural to our animal bodies), and an accumulation of sin blocks out the natural virtues of the soul.

Virtue elevates us and makes us more happy and contented, loving and caring, peaceful and harmonious. Virtue attracts virtue. Being virtuous attracts more virtue to us.

Sin, on the other hand, debases us. Sin is self-destructive and masochistic, and makes us fearful and miserable, cold and ruthless, hard and vicious. Sin attracts sin. Over time, we become lost and tormented souls.

In these times, the human race is increasingly dominated by sin, especially by those who seek to dominate us. Capitalism promotes and rewards sin. Our political systems promote and reward sin. Our cultural systems increasingly celebrate sin. All of this can only end in self-destruction, misery, and pain - and we can see that happening now all around us. The solution is in our own hands: renounce our sins and embrace our virtues.

Sin is literally self abuse, as every reaction produces a counter reaction from the cosmos. We get what we give. There are always consequences of the same nature and in direct proportion to the viciousness that we perpetrate. This is natural cosmic justice, and it operates immaculately whether we believe in it or not.

We know that the Sun is much larger than the Moon. However, when viewed from the Earth, the Sun and Moon appear to be about the same size. The reason for this is that the Sun is about 400 times larger than the moon, but at the same time about 400 times farther away. As a result, the Sun seems to be the same size as the Moon. However, isn't it a strange coincidence that the Sun is 400 times bigger and 400 times farther away? Is it just a coincidence or a thought-provoking question?

Distance versus size, using rough estimates for brevity. Basically, the sun is 400 times larger than the moon. Then the Sun is 400 times further from earth than the moon. This gives the appearance that they are the same size.
Very few planets in the Universe could produce the spectacular Solar eclipses seen from earth, because of this near perfect ratio.

kristiankho (42) · 7 years ago

November 2017. The first time i ever flew beyond my country, the time i ever flew to Europe, the first time i flew to Portugal.

It was a two week excursion with a friend in one of the oldest city in Europe.

The reason i traveled there was the same reason that made the travel possible, Steemfest2 Lisbon. This was the first ever actual vacation i had and it was a vacation that was paid for fully in Steem. Even the plane tickets and accommodation.

It was wonderful, the city, Steemfest, the whole experience. I come from Malaysia so we pretty much hate the sun. Over there, with the temperature and how the sun shines, i can sleep under the sun.. it's the first time i ever fell asleep under the sun. Sounds stupid but it blows mind sleepy mind when i woke up from the sunbathed nap.

The booze is....... a bottle of wine cost 1 euro... 1.Euro. There was never a day where i wasnt at least tipsy.

And the main reason it's the best vacation I ever have in my life yet is because of Steemfest itself. Imagine being surrounded by people that shares something in common, believes in something in common, and at the same time is as diverse as it it gets. The same circle of people will have Nerds, Selfie girls, hippies, digital nomads, CEO, activists standing together and talk and talk and talk, booze in hand.

I'll always remember that vacation. And hope that Steemfest3 can be as good if not better than that.

We believe that sending questions and answers as comments is the right way to go. However, we will be releasing a feature soon that allows you, if you like, to also post your answers to your blogs. This way, for the people that want to have more exposure to their posts, they'll be able to do just that!

Why do we dream?

$0.00

diffuseloop (51) · 7 years ago

There are many theories about why we dream. Some say dreams are meaningful and should be interpreted, they are manifestatons of our subconcious.Some say dreams have no meaning and brains produces drams accidentaly based on what we know and experience while awake.

Dreams occur in the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of the sleep cycle, about 6-8 times during nights sleep. It's the state when the brain is hyperactive (and it helps memorising what you did and learned the past day) but all muscles in the body are totaly paralised, except eye muscles (hence the name). You can see persons eyes moving unbelievably fast when in this state.
That hyperactivty produces dreams and we dream in every REM cycle, but we rarely remember our dreams. Best chance you have of remembering a dream is if you wake up after a REM phase and the dreams you had in that last REM phase is the ones you will remember.

Most plausible theory to me is that dreams are just random memories from our brain getting sorted and our brain makes sense of them by creating an imaginary world where those random signals make sense (a dream). That's why there's always something weird about a dream :)

It is the aim of philosophy to know truths in the universe, so my advice would be to study philosophy.

However, you can pretty much give up on knowing any absolute truth, because there will always be a way to doubt it. The first philosopher to really tackle this problem was Descartes in his book Meditations. You should look it up if you want to know more. He said that the only thing we can know for certain is that we exist. That is where the statement, "Cogito ergo sum", or "I think, therefore I exist" came from.

aydogdy (57) · 7 years ago

If you are looking for a controversial question, it is a question of whether there is a higher power. A large number of living people today feel (at least in some way) something more than they do. There are approximately 900 million atheists, and a much larger number of people who believe in higher powers. While unbelievers and believers are firmly convinced of their beliefs, it is not easy or even impossible to find a definite answer to the question. Way, it’s equally interesting to think about: either did the world just come out of a brilliant coincidence, or is there some sort of "Supreme power" that set it all in motion?

Do you really need a soulmate? Could your soulmate maybe also be someone who you don't fall in love with? A friend from the same gender maybe? This life isn't the ultimate form for a soul, I trully think this life is a lesson and if you learned this lesson good enough you can pass on to the next dimension.

For what reason or for whom would you sacrifice your life?

aydogdy (57) · 7 years ago (edited)

How much is your life more important to you than the life of your loved ones — are you willing to sacrifice it for someone's sake? Is there a person in your life for whom you will sacrifice your life? Would you be able to sacrifice his life for the salvation of a large group of people, perhaps unfamiliar to you?

I don't know how much income you'll actually be able to get from it, but you could check out Lunyr.com -- it's a site where you can write nice articles and get paid in cryptocurrency.

I have -- it's ok. There is a huge amount of plagiarism, so that's fairly discouraging. You also have to pay to post articles because they do the whole thing with Ethereum smart contracts. It can be fairly expensive.

Any dAPP built on top of this block chain will work. Steem token is probably the only crypto currency with a real use case that actually works today. Other than that, you can try staking coins such as ECA or any other POS coin to get some extra income. Setting up a master node can also be a lucrative business.

A good guy is genuine in all that he does, doesn't look for fame, and makes his intentions known.

A nice guy does things just to get noticed and is all "look at me! Look at how virtuous I am" and gets ignored and walked all over.

How do you know your beliefs are true?

aydogdy (57) · 7 years ago

You know how quickly beliefs about certain things can change. (Once people were convinced that the Earth is flat.) You may have once firmly believed in something, but eventually discovered the true nature of things, and realized that you were wrong. How can you be so sure that your current beliefs are true?

I used to have blind faith and used to believe many things without questioning much. Even, when I questioned myself, it was difficult to find answers. I would not have known the reason for my believe, I just believed it. Later on as I read more and has more access to more information, I realized that there are more to it than my blind faith. So now, I don't believe in the things I used to believe in. I am more liberal now. I know that my beliefs are true when I have peace of mind concerning the particular belief.

In recent years, we are opening more and more new knowledge and achievements. Humanity today knows much more than humanity of past centuries, however, there are still many mysteries and unexplained things. However, what if one-day scientific progress reaches a point where we can explain any phenomenon in life? Will life without mystery become more interesting? What will we strive for when everyone knows?

The villains consider themselves heroes?

aydogdy (57) · 7 years ago

In most movies, villains are portrayed as truly evil. There are only a few films that explore the underlying motives of the antagonist's behavior. The same is true for reality. While there are scary psychopaths who do evil things without a valid reason, it's also possible that there are people who do evil because they believe it's the right thing to do. This is a suggestive question: are there any such evil people who really believe they are heroes?

Are you really free?

If you read this article, the chances are high that you live in a free and open society. However, sometimes, people live within a mental prison. They can perceive themselves as free, but their thinking limits them. At the same time, there may be boundaries that society imposes on us without imprisoned us in a physical prison. Can you honestly tell yourself that you lead a free life? How can you increase your level of personal freedom?

No one is really free. I am definitely not free. There are things I would do differently if I don't have any loved ones. But my freedom is limited by what I think about those I care about and about how their lives are affected by my choice. I make choices every day and those choices are always compromises. My freedom is always at stake.

the classic dinner and a movie first date formula is a tried and true choice but it is old.
an amusement park could be a solid choice if there is one close by.
if you feel daring and there is a water park near you that could be a nice change of pace.
an afternoon picnic on the beach or at a nice park.
a trip to a museum or aquarium followed by a nice meal.
or ask her or him, what they would like to do on the date before the two of you go out.
most important be yourself unless you're a total douche bag ass hole.

Are you the same person you were 7 or 10 years ago?

aydogdy (57) · 7 years ago

Every day the cells of the body die and are replaced by others. This normal process occurs throughout our lives. Curiously, white blood cells have an incredibly long lifespan-over a year. This means that all cells in the body are replaced after a little over a year. Other cells live much less, some are even replaced within an hour. Are you still the same person you were a few years ago, even though every cell in your body has been replaced?
