"Why?" Why are we here? What is the ultimate goal of our existence? What is the purpose? I have been told that we are the only species that understands that death is certain and yet the human spirit drives us to excel in "Life". I don't guess there is no true answer to these questions. I am sure there will be a religious and scientific answers but I want to know your opinion on why you think were are here. "Here" meaning earth and life... All I ask is that you please respect everyone's opinions please.

I'm back at SIU Carbondale after my trip this summer. Waiting for my best bud and roomie Conner to return. I got an email from him and I just cant take, here is a part of it:
As you know my father is a Southern Baptist minister and I have been raised in the church. After being back on the farm this summer I began feeling the wrongness of my life on campus. It ate away at me more and more each day, I tried to find solace in the bible but I could not. I am at odds with my own body my christian soul and the devil you awakened in my loins. I finally spoke to my father regarding this, as a learned man and a man of God he has , through hours of silent contemplation, helped me to realize that I cannot remain true to the lord and return to that school of evil. You are an instrument of Satan. Like the whore of Babylon you tempt those chosen of God and make them stray from the path of righteousness. I have decided to accept a missionary assignment in south America to help atone for my sins.
The letter goes on and on about punishments his father made him endure to purge the demon of lust from him. Why ? He is legal age and a grown man. Why allow himself to be treated like this. And Its my fault. I knew he was a virgin and curious. I knew he was horny. I opened the door and he jumped right in. Why didnt I mind my own business. I could have said no when he climbed into my bed at night to fuck me. I could have not set him up with a nice girl who gave him his first pussy for comparison. He enjoyed it all or so it thought.
ARghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Have I ruined his life?

Has anyone here ever taken some sort of official Gay Studies in school? Such as classes OR done historical research yourself throughout the history of time and humanity? How about knowing and understanding what clicks (and turns them on) with people from throughout time as well? I guess I am also curious about what documentations there are about people's thoughts and beliefs throughout all of time. (Be it the written word, art, even photos and film. Obviously this website and the internet provide a nice degree of photos and film but I am just curious about any other rare or unknown views I guess.) Sure I know a bunch of stuff myself and have books on these things but I was curious what you all knew if anything out of the ordinary that most people would not perhaps, eh.
I could live with a view like this. But, I wouldn't live in Washington if you paid me!
How old were you when you realized that you were gay, how did the realization happen
I can imagine it could be some topic like this somewhere in the past but i would like ask you people what music, what songs do you like during sex?
Courage
No one is complete and competent in all respects, everyone has chinks in their Armour. The one who realizes this, is the one who will dare to do something about it. To realize, one needs courage to get feedback and to honestly look at themselves in the mirror. To face your inner most fears, to face the change, discover blind spots, ask for and seek feedback and to act on the same, even if it may not be to one’s liking, needs immense courage. Courage is about confronting your weakness(es) and devising strategies do work on the identified weaknesses. Courage is about getting out of your comfort zone and doing things that feel uncomfortable (e.g. asking for feed-forward suggestions from others, or raising difficult conversations). Great leaders have immense courage.
Humility
If you are wanting to get better, then you have to start by accepting that you are not perfect. Humility is acknowledging the work that needs to be done to change and grow, not to let ego come in the way of this process of change, and therefore growth and to accept one’s areas of improvements. Humility involves letting go of your ego and focusing on how to change your own behavior to make your team and workplace more effective. Besides, it needs a lot of humility to take a Coach and more importantly to believe that someone who may not necessarily be better than you at what you do but can still help in achieving the desired outcome of the coaching engagement. The job of Coach is to observe and make you realize all that needs to change and then hand-hold you in the process of change, not necessarily being better than you at what you do. Any learning journey is a humbling experience as the realization dawns that there is no much that you didn't know or didn't realize or how you could have done things differently to be even more effective. It is also a highly rejuvenating experience once the positive behaviors start building, but one needs the humility to make the start.
Discipline
Discipline is the third pillar for adopting any change or learning anything new. It is the ability to commit your time and energy to the outcome being pursued, in a quantum commensurate with what you are expecting to achieve. To be able to devote yourself to a learning journey, which when it comes to behaviors is mostly preceded by a phase on unlearning, needs a lot of commitment and discipline. You need to get out of your comfort zone again and again to re-learn behaviors, before you get from a stage of unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence. Discipline relates to consistently implementing effective behaviors until they get ingrained in your neural paths and become a habit. To be a great leader, you have to have the discipline to follow up and do the hard work to keep getting better.
Self-reflect and see if you have the courage, humility and discipline to be a great leader! If you see a scope for improvement then before working on any other behavior or outcome, commit to work on these three traits which is really the foundation of great leadership.
