1. Love/Compassion for others, the moments where everybody comes together, and people help eachother out where needed. Be it on small or large scale.
2. Laughter, jokes, smiles, silliness.
3. Spirituality (note: NOT religion)
-Bottom-
1. Hatred towards others, the usage of hate against hate
2. Anger, unnecessary fights/arguments/violence. Again, this could be anything ranging from domestic fights/violence to large groups of people rioting for stupid reasons.
3. Money/status/big cars-flavor to society, materialism.
My humble opinion right there ^_^
Here's mine:
1. Love for all beings/spirituality
2. Music
3. Science
1. Ignorance (which is actually the cause of the others)
2. Hatred/Fear
3. Egocentricity
Top 3 achievments:
- pioneer/voyager missions
- the internet
- pharmaceuticals
Bottom 3:
- enforced morality
- One Tree Hill, by U2
- anything by disney
Top:
The Free Market
Technological Advancement
Philosophy
Bottom:
The State
Excessive Fear
Religion
Notice that the ones on the top and the ones on the bottom exist in opposition to each other respectively. Note also that the first often causes the second in both categories, more so in the top one.
^Agreed! In my opinion Besilarius hit a homerun here. But I would like replacing "Excessive Fear" with "Political Correctness" ...although then the lists wouldn't necessarily be in perfect opposition, but oh well.Quote:

This loosely reminds me of the idea I had to stack every single atomic weapon on the planet in one location and blow them all at once. And take pictures from space. Then there would be a massive bid on who could use it in a movie.
