About me - Austin Moore

I am whatever I feel like being. I can be warm, compassionate, and caring, or I could be cold, distant, and unfeeling. I could be the person that stands out in a crowd, or I could be the one that blends in perfectly, just another face in a sea of people. Sometimes

Religion & Spirituality > Setting Life Goals Being happy in your life: 3 of 83
It doesn't take much to be happy in your life. All you really need to do is like yourself, and everything else will just come naturally. If you don't like who you are, how you treat people, or things you do, then you can never be truly happy. The only remedy for this is to change, for your own sake. After you change for the b...

Education > Educational Philosophy The importance of reading: 4 of 62
Some people just can't grasp how important reading is. I will never understand the people that will never pick up a book or a magazine or even read a short story. They claim it's because they don't have a long enough attention span to read a book, that they'll get bored. Oh, I've heard all the excuses in the book, which is ki... More..
Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life How those who don't believe in an afterlife view and cope with death: 3 of 45
Well, I'm not sure how other people with the same ideas about religion and an afterlife cope with death, but I can at least pass on my knowledge on the subject. Simply put, I view death as an end of our conscious mind. Essentially, just as our consiousness is created when we are born, the reverse is true when we die. I never ... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Is true love really blind?: 3 of 43
True love is not blind. It might seem like it's harsh, but it's the truth. People do not simply look past your outward appearance, in favor of the person they know you to be inside. But how, you must be asking yourself, do such odd couples get together then? You've all seen them; the beautiful girl and the geek; the incredibl... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust What do you feel when you are in love: 2 of 28
You feel complete. You feel like you wasted your entire life, up until you met them; the one you know you can spend the rest of your life with. but you also feel relieved, glad that you got to meet them before your time was up, and early enough to still spend years with them. You feel giddy, light, and happy. When you're in l... More..
Relationships & Family > Communication Issues Differences between personal and electronic communication: 1 of 10
There's just something about personal communication. Something that can't be replicated electronically, no matter how hard you try. Perhaps it's the fact that you can actually interact with the person; to playfully cuff someone on the shoulder after they made a stupid joke, to hold hands in a moment of peacefulness and harmon...

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is the soul?: 5 of 49
The soul...how would one even begin to explain the wonderful complexity that is the soul? A man, or woman's, soul is the most important piece of them, without it they are nothing. Without the soul, one is a shell, a mere shadow of what they used to be, just going through the motions of everyday life, but with no real reason t... More..
Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Why writers write: 21 of 193
I can't tell you why independent writers write, because their reasons are just as diverse as each and every one of their lives have been. However, I can tell you why I, and writers in general, write. Do you know how you've got something in your head, some idea that just won't leave you, no matter what you do? Those thoughts t... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Does society favor men?: 12 of 108
Asking if society favors men is like asking if it's going to rain when the sky looks dark and ominous; the answer is most obviously yes, in that aspect. Men seem to have the advantage in everything nowadays, in pretty much everything they do. It doesn't matter if it's a bus driver, a police officer, or even a high powered exe... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Setting Life Goals How to live a good life: 3 of 25
All you have to do to live a good life is live for yourself. Don't let anyone else tell you how you could be doing this or that better, or what you should be doing. Live life for your own reasons, and do right by yourself. Doing what you believe to be right, and trying to be a good person, that's all it take to live a good li... More..
