h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

We still have to learn a lot, about children, and men and women, and what who needs, and and and. Well, there is many thousend years of life and philosophy for you and so many answers written out, but it is so darn difficult to get things realy changed. Who´ll know what we will come to one day....

Sorry can you rephrase that question?

Thing is it understanding or compassion that is missing? eg it's quite easy to to understand why someone gets frustrated even if the cause of this frustration is not something that would set you blood raging - compassionis would then be required to forgive the frustrated person for the way the behave when frustrated. (is this going in the direction you hoped?)

"What will be becomeone day?" Maybe a good starting point is to decide if 'we' have changed an awful lot over the last thousand years or so?

I`ve changed massively over the last five years. Hard work and still not finished. Guess that´s it in many cases.

We had a reunion after 10 years out of school. It seemed to me, that the folks, who still stayed in our hometown and who still stuck around with schoolfriends from years back, were the most dull, undeveloped, and boring of the lot. They still made the same jokes, and still believed I was a nutter, allthough they didn´t take the chance to find out how nutty I had only got since then.

So I spent my evening with the lot that had left their hometown, and that was intresting enough.

I still say the question should be who understands people?I guess I never will as it seems that the older I get the less I understand human nature and the less I am surprised by it.

Good questions all.

The time has passed, do you have any new ideas?

No and I STILL have trouble understanding people,their motives and behaviour let alone adding into the mixture worries about the differences between the sexes and it's a whole 17 months later.

Incog.Approaching my Golden Jubilee too.

I am just getting more nad more confused.

Well if you think that everyone else feels just as confused,you then have some idea how everyone else(men and women)feel 99% of the time.

Welcome to the human race!

Incog.
