You expect to be attracted to the person you’re with in every way possible. And when it comes down to it, our sole (evolutionary) purpose on this planet as humans is to procreate. Which means emotional connections are the direct result of a complex series of biochemical pathways and reactions…which would, in turn, further assist reproduction.</p> <p>But we’re obviously more complex than that. Or at least we like to think so. In which case, there’s Tolstoy’s famous, “It is not beauty that endears, it’s love that makes us see beauty.” </p> <p>Which I have to agree with.</p>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/18116223284http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/18116223284Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:07:00 -0500AnonymousAnswers<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx28iaKxZ71qh7jxvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/18061164729http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/18061164729Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:01:59 -0500“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.

But here’s a crucial one: statistics. For every seven people in the world, one’s starving. For every eight, one is without access to clean water. I don’t think I need to harp on you with any more numbers.</p> <p>I have a roof over my head, food and water in my kitchen. The concept of a separate room for food is unbeknownst to hundreds of millions of people. Not including the billion that aren’t fortunate enough to be literate. </p> <p>My mere economic circumstances make me and everyone reading this more fortunate than 75% of the world’s population. You sent this question via the internet, something inaccessible to more than 2/3 of said population.</p> <p>I have no reasons to give up, only ones to succeed. I’m fortunate to have family and friends who’d gamble their lives on my chances of doing so. I’m sure you have problems that maybe no one else can fully understand. I’m sure it can be difficult. But don’t allow them make you bitter. Let them better you instead.</p>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999651996http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999651996Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:58:00 -0500AnonymousAnswers<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq06xJmsU1qcz4s2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999190111http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999190111Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:58:00 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzmbn0s3JT1qe262oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999801403http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17999801403Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:58:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp1dh9pEHD1qcjweco1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17992081579http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17992081579Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:57:00 -0500“Men are what their mothers made them.”<br/><br/> - <em>Ralph Waldo Emerson</em>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17987926806http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17987926806Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:45:33 -0500menmothersliteraryquoteEmersonRalph Waldo Emersonquotation<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/17996011627/tumblr_lvvdhqqJj41qagye1&color=FFFFFF&logo=soundcloud" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Guitar wins.</p>http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17996011627http://blog.rashadsays.com/post/17996011627Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:58:00 -0500
