Hell exothermic or endothermic

 Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct . . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Dog money leopard story

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long the dog discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dog thinks, "Ok no! I'm in deep doodoo now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Wow, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew", says the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine sunnuvabitch."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet ... ... and just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that damn monkey? I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

Bailout story

It is a slow day in a little Greek village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. 

On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.

The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.  The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. 

The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. 

The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.

(No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.)

Beautiful words

While I was in standard 9, I said this to her - at a time when I didn't understand the "crush" thing.

"Reddy, my life is still beautiful, though I have been crushed by you for 3 long years." (She's a Reddy gaaru)

She smiled so ravishingly. Note, she didn't laugh, so that says I was not comical. So this was maybe nice, if not romantic. We were just good friends then.

One day during my 9th, at our library class, she was looking for some book to read at Science section, and I was standing aside her and said this,

"I hate science Reddy. Because there's no book explaining why you look so cute! Are you looking for that book too?"

For this, she grinned and nibbed my left arm with her pen. 

I proposed her on the last session ending exam of 11th class, it was Social Sciences paper for her. 

As we walked out together, out of our exam hall (my roll number is 16, hers 15), I asked her this, 

"I have been having this doubt in social sciences, which is out of your syllabus. My question is, what will be my social science quotient if I ask you to marry me, and say I am in love with you, and have been so from for the past 5 years?" 

Her answer, "I don't know jumbo but I am sure, only I should evaluate this question if you were to ask." 

That was a green :D.

So, from here, what all I had said was, after we were lovers. 

She bought her first phone, a Nokia N series, during our 12th special classes. She was clicking pictures of her friends. "Nice really, but give me the phone, I will take a picture of yours." I shouted. She heard me, and handed me her phone. 

I was holding the phone with its camera on, and said this, 
"Wait, I am sure this will get me an Oscar for best photograph."

At farewell speech, almost all our classmates, including my techers, knew the relationship we both shared, I made this point during the small speech we had to give. 

"Ahead of us is now college, and for all of us, leaving school, our friends might be the hardest thing to accept at this juncture, unlike you all, I am clever, which is why I am taking one special person from this school to my life." 

After joining Engineering, after my freshman day. 

Texted her this, 
"Hey Reddu, first day was wow. And one thing after seeing so many girls today. I thought only you were beautiful in this whole world for so many years. Damn, I didn't know I was so right." 

Her reply, "Hi buju, great. And really? How many of them did you see to arrive at this conclusion?" 

Me, "Almost all."

Her reply, "And you saw no one beautiful than me?"

Me, "Ya darl, not even one :-( I hope God shows mercy upon us to have a baby girl."

When she asked why I don't believe in God and religion,

"Its not like that. I believe in monotheism. I can't believe and worship you and him at the same time." 

Once she asked me if I would leave her if I found a better girl, my response was

"Hard truth, of course. I would leave you at home and drop her at school. And you can leave me to pick her back to our home."

Need not greed

'There is enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed' is indeed an ingenious statement by an ingenious man called Mahatma Gandhi. There is no doubt about how true this statement is and there are many ways one can prove it.

The journey started after the creation of human being in this world. As man got matured he kept on inventing new things to get a better life and for a good living. His wants were not restricted, desires were boundary less and his doggedness of finding reason for everything made him an undefined creature. And that’s how an environment has been created in which we are living now. If we see this in a broader perspective, all this happened because of greed. It’s the man’s greed which made him the richest man in the world, at the same time it’s his greed which made the society unbalanced and unequal. He is not bothered about the limitations of one’s actions and breaching the rules of nature for self-fulfilment. His desire of becoming bigger than others has changed the destiny of mankind.

For many of us who live in a land of abundance, greed is not a sin, it is not even considered wrong, instead we now live in a world where we have idolized greed and use all kinds of glamorous names that make it look fashionable and desirable. Being wealthy is not wrong in itself, but glorifying the desire for wealth is terrible. We are privileged and blessed to have things, but the addiction to things can make us very disabled.

Rich Mullins nailed it when he said “It’s a cultural disability in America that we worship pleasure, leisure, and affluence”. Greed is a universal problem and is strongly rooted in our sinful nature; watch how quickly a child learns the word ‘mine’.
Man makes use of everything in their reach to satisfy their greed. One of the things that contribute a lot to their wealth and power is the Earth's own natural resources. Man, unfortunately has exploited these resources beyond the limit. When a country owns more resources, they are automatically richer. They use and sell the resources to develop their country. The greed comes in when different countries compete with one another to have  more development.

The deforestation which has taken place due to commercial exploitation of trees for timber, resin, medicinal herbs, etc., the developing of new agricultural fields, over-grazing by animals, the coming up of new habitation (e.g. because of the construction of the Tehri dam), the building of roads mainly after the China invasion of 1962, tourism development and other development activities, increase in the population (men as well as animals), all have had an adverse affect on the environment and have brought about ecological imbalance.

In the villages of Garhwal there is watershed failure, which has resulted in both drought and flood conditions, soil erosion, landslides, changes in the microclimate, increase in the silting rate which has caused a rise of the river beds, loss of wildlife, drying up of natural springs on which the villagers depend for drinking water. It’s clear that the watershed failure is the result of deforestation which in turn is the result of man’s greed. Finally, the main culprit is the GREED.

The hymn dedicated to the earth in the Atharvaveda (12.1.12) sums up the traditional attitude of reverence:

Impart to us those vitalizing forces

that come, O Earth, from deep within your body,

Your central point, your navel; purify us wholly.

The Earth is mother; I am son of Earth,

The rain-giver is my father; may he shower

on us blessings!

But the values of reverence in the modern man have vapourated. They are degrading the soil by throwing waste wherever they like.This waste is created only because of more consumerism which is the result of greed. Man’s greed make him to buy as many things he wishes, which increases the waste that exploits the Earth. Earth can degrade itself some of the bio-degradable wastes but when it comes on non-biodegradable, toxic and E-waste Earth cannot. In turn the Earth itself is effected.

Farmer’s are also not lagging behind in showing their greed. They sow seeds of other crops immediately after one crop is harvested without giving some time for the soil to regain it nutrients. This kind of agriculture can help farmer make more money but after few years the land looses its fertility and is of no use. This shows how earth can’t satisfy man’s greed.

Every individual, has a responsibility in protecting the environment, if he/she is serious about leaving a world for the next generation to inherit.There is a need now to curb the unhealthy consumption that the world has become slave too as there is a direct link between excessive production and environmental degradation. One clear example is that of the increase in the use of cars with each member of a family claiming the need to own and drive his/her own vehicle. The 700 million automobiles of the world are already using up two-thirds of the gasoline and releasing carbon dioxide that has already ushered in the era of global warming and the greenhouse effect. The desire to control the oil resources has also seen the worst war of the 21st century and one wonders what others will follow with environmentalists warning that the next wars will be those fought over water, which is likely to become a commodity in short supply.

Man is still going on increasing his desires and his greeds and  2 questions are still left unanswered.

Will MAN be able to find another planet in the universe similar to Earth to migrate?
Will MAN be able to alter that planet to make it suitable for our living?
