The Problem of Human Existence We live and then we die. The death part is scary and the living part is quite amazing. The death and after-death part is a great mystery surrounding our existence.

mind had always been baffled with the concept of God. Many curious seekers have tried to put their reasoning in black and white either to prove or disprove the existence of God. Still these intellectual arguments often prove inadequate; either to prove or disprove.

The Little Mermaid I’ve never realized that Disney’s The Little Mermaid was not an original Disney character/story‚ though this shouldn’t have been a surprise since Disney’s princesses all come from stories developed by people outside of Disney. Like Disney they take someone’s original story and add so much more to them to make them appropriate and more appealing to children of all ages. Andersen and Disney both share the similar story lines when it comes to the main idea of the story. In both
