I'm 20, and I feel stuck: I know what I want in life, but my goals and ethics regularly conflict?

I have a very good idea what I want in life. The problem is, a lot of the stuff I WANT to do goes completely against my ethics and beliefs, or sometimes things just completely contradict each other.

For example, part of me would really love to live 'off the power grid' on a self-sustaining eco-farm. Another part of me wants to jump headfirst into a lifelong obsession with consumerism and modern technology.

I don't know if I want to attend college. I don't know if I want to trade my free bicycle for an expensive car. Or if I want a credit card, or a big fancy house…or ANYTHING.

I know I'm supposed to be fairly conflicted at this point in my life, but let me reiterate that I know more or less what I WANT…it's just that, no matter what I choose to pursue, I feel like I'm leaving behind something else that's equally important to me.

So I'm stuck….any advice?

I'm especially looking for advice from people who have already dealt with college, careers, family, etc. Essentially, for lack of a more politically correct term, I'd like to hear from 'older' adults…those of you with more wisdom and experience.

Thanks!

What is the ancient greece architecture and living?

Greek life was dominated by religion and so it is not surprising that the temples of ancient Greece were the biggest and most beautiful.They also had a political purpose as they were often built to celebrate civic power and pride, or offer thanksgiving to the patron deity of a city for success in war.

The Greeks developed three architectural systems, called orders, each with their own distinctive proportions and detailing. The Greek orders are: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian:
- The DORIC style is rather sturdy and its top (the capital), is plain. This style was used in mainland Greece and the colonies in southern Italy and Sicily.

- The IONIC style is thinner and more elegant. Its capital is decorated with a scroll-like design (a volute). This style was found in eastern Greece and the islands.

- The CORINTHIAN style is seldom used in the Greek world, but often seen on Roman temples. Its capital is very elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves.

When many people think of the Star of David symbol, they associate it with the Jewish people and the powerful nation of Israel.

But did you know that the Star of David is actually an ancient metaphysical symbol that predates the Jewish culture?

At least, many metaphysical researchers now believe this to be true.

The Star of David seems to date back to pre-Egyptian times and might even have its origins in the mythical civilization of Atlantis. Atlantis was said to be an early continent that existed before an “axial shift” or changing of the earth’s magnetic poles destroyed this huge land mass. After Atlantis was destroyed, the few remaining survivors scattered to the four corners of the earth and were said to have founded early cultures like the Sumerian culture, the Egyptian and Babylonia cultures, and even ancient India and China.

Almost all native people have a memory, long passed down from generation to generation, of powerful earth changes that forever changed this planet in the ancient past. The story of Noah and his Ark is one such story, but nearly every religious and mythical tradition has its own story of an ancient flood that covered the whole earth and changed life here forever.

The Star of David symbol traces it origins back to these early days, now steeped in legend.

Early mystical schools taught that the Star of David or equal-sided star was a powerful symbol for man’s spiritual path. Throughout our life in order to remain connected to God, Goddess, or a loving Higher Power, it’s important to maintain a balance in both the spiritual and material realms.

The Star of David symbol is the living reminder that man is doing this – maintaining a balance between worlds.

Wearing a Star of David necklace can serve as a living “cue” that connects you with the ancient power of this beautiful metaphysical symbol.

When worn over the heart or the throat, clairvoyants claim that it activates these energy centers in wonderful ways. When the throat center or “chakra” is activated, we are inspired to speak from the heart and to tell the truth, no matter what opposition we might face. When the heart center is activated, we are inspired to reach out in a more inclusive attitude in love, expressing tenderness and empathy in a way that knows no religious or racial boundaries.

Many spiritual seekers enjoy wearing a Star of David necklace for just this reason. It connects them with the living mystery of the equal sided star, that ancient symbol of balance and spiritual wisdom.

So whether you honor the Jewish tradition and Jewish faith or if you simply enjoy gazing upon the lovely symbol as a tool for your own meditation or prayer, a Star of David necklace might be a lovely piece of jewelry that uplifts and inspires you.

Our planet is gifted with lush greens, pristine rainforests, magnificent mountains, natural drinking water, cool breeze and great rivers, but due to modern living and vigorous industrial activity, our beautiful earth lost all of her greenness. We are now, living in a world full of chemical pollution, unbearable heat waves, acid rains and harmful emissions. Each day, we are gifting our mother planet with tons of carbon emissions and toxic industrial effluents, as an output for our modern comforts and living. Gone are the days of spring, summer and winter; now we are living in a world full of climatic confusion and environmental recessions.

Modern scientific growth gifted us with devastating effects on our environment and imperiled our human living in this planet. We have endangered our own species because of our “non friendly” activities towards environment. The collective impact due to the industrial revolution, technological development and population, has affected our friendly green environment and eco systems to an irreversible state. The reasons for present environmental catastrophe are many, but we are now left with no other choice but to protect our planet. We are now forced to find some working solutions to come out of these environmental disasters and save our planet for our future living.

Choosing an eco friendly lifestyle is a first step towards saving our planet and protecting human lives in this planet. Promoting organic foods, recycling, renewable energy, and waste management are some ways in which we can improve our Green Environment. Eco friendly living, sustainable solutions, and protecting nature are some initiatives to be taken towards enriching our environment. These green activities, when implemented worldwide, help us in repairing our earth and refresh our environment for sustainable living and development.
