What does Errol Flynn mean by the quote, "I am an octagon of contradiction which in itself may be no contradiction."

So he would adjust to certain groups, he would conform to the ways of others he would be around. I totally understand that, I think we all do that at some point in our lives if not all the time. We all have to adjust and conform to the people around us, we are all social at one point or another. You act appropriately when you go in for an interview just as you act way different when you are out at a bar with friends. If someone lives in this time we have to adjust appropriately. Imagine someone not being able to adjust, they would be seen as an outcast and not be able to get jobs or socialize with people. We act entirely different when we are at work in responsible mode, then at home hanging on our couch or in a classroom with a teacher present. We all know the difference in the ambiance and environment. And with those differences we act accordingly.

Why do we mistakenly believe that chants or prayers or petitions work? How does science explain such coincidences?

We believe in "chants" or voodoo because we allow our minds to think that it is true. We set our minds into believeing in something then to us it is infact believeable. For example if you try 10 times to chant something to happen and only 2 times it actually happens then the numbers dont matter because your a believer due to the 2 times it did happen. Its like magic, you see a magic trick and its believeable. Watching a magic show infact tricks you into believing it is real, in our minds it is real. But if you go behind the scenes to see the reality of it then you will realize they are nothing more than tricks themselves.

Crop Circles

I am sorry but I have never and will never believe in crop circles. Believe that it is aliens or other creatures that are doing these crop circles. I will never believe that Aliens or extraterrestrials have anything to do with crop circles because it is not a proven fact. I have yet to see an alien or creature from another planet on our earth, let alone in the middle of a field designing a crop circle. I infact believe that it is performed becuase they are real, crop circles exist and thats the only proven fact that we have. But it is surely done by human beings. A crop circle is forsure in my mind performed by human beings, maybe trying to fool others in believeing their are extraterestrials out there or maybe for a deeper reason. We dont even know why crop circles are done, what is the true meaning behind a crop cirlce? Are the intrecit designs something we dont understand? Do they stand for something we are not piecing together? It could be humans messing around or it could be humans trying to tell us something we dont know. We have no idea in this world what is behind a crop circle and I tell you it is very interesting.

FLAME ON

Homosexuality seems like an on going problem in society. I myself see nothing wrong with homosexuality. The problem is that people use the word "GAY" or "FAG" as a bad word, people say this to others in a derogatory way. When you say words like that to others in a bad way then they are seen as bad people. As an example the word "bitch" is used in such a bad way that if you call someone this word its an insult, but in reality the definition is just mierly a female dog or a small animal like a fox. The word itself was made into a derogatory term and used in a bad fashion. If I am calling for my female dog and use that word everyone will look my way and think I am cussing at someone and the same goes for the words gay and fag. I have no idea why or how these terms in society became so volgure but they have and its makes the situation of a homosexual even harder to cope with in society.

Re: Voodoo Voodoo

Voodoo does seem rather magical. Like when it is chanted or used the desired outcome happens but I believe it is all in our minds. We wish for something and if it comes to us even just that once we believe it is true. Like the quote that you reffered too, it seems if it worked 2 out of 10 we believe it is true. And when we believe it is true in our minds, then our mindset is set to believe in voodoo. Even magic, when I go to a famous magic show with a magician thats known for his magic I tend to believe in magic. I watched one on TV one year and I believed magic was real for many years to follow. Until one day I seen an episode that revieled how the magician accomplished his magic. It was all fake, they showed how every trick was in reality a trick. It was heartbreaking but atleast I knew the truth. Just to think I believed in magic until I seen how it was all false with my own eyes.

The Mummy vs. the Wolfman

Egyption immortality! To keep intact the physical body. Death was very known to human beings, even way back in the past. They wanted a way to keep the body intact. Imagine, advancing science to a point where we can prolong the deration of life in our human bodies. That is so crazy, but even if we can maintain the human body we cant live forever. I think we are rather scared of transitioning into death, so we come up with ways to try and perserve our lives for as long as possible.

I dont think the body can be perserved forever, nor do I think its right to do so. No one would be left to enjoy or experience anything in that body so why perserve it? Death is something that is going to come no matter if we want it or not. Its the inevitable so why fight it? Why come up with a way around it or a way to stop it? I know we are scared of the unknown but just like birth we all have to go through death at one point or another.
