why does Life Need A Meaning
The Dalai Lama says that the purpose to life is to be happy! Just be! We can get distracted by pretending to find meaning in relatiionships, sex, Hollywood, work, politics, church ... sometimes I wonder, if we didn't create some fake delusion of purpose, SpongeBob and Patrick might become our purpose in life. That would be sad.

Dear Diance,

If beauty (looks) and personality make up 100% of a person's worth, how would you divide this ratio?
B&P just have to add up to 100%.
Since we're all fallable in our assessments, I'd use the square root, so a B=70 and P=ep would become B=49 and P=09.
If the assessor is intoxicated, use the cubed root and run before you make a commitment.

Answer to:
How impressed are you by those people who start off a response to your question/answer by correcting you?
there've been times when i've felt immensely grateful to them as they are, indeed, correcting a mis-spelling or factual or grammatical error which benefits from their correction. once in a while i might argue a point of logic if i feel it's important. most of the time, i acknowledge their point and move on. i'm usually not impressed by them.
