Reflection 7

Anniversary of Polish independance and patriotism, that many people show at this time, makes me reflect on patriotsm's influence each year. My initial thought, is that it divides people. We shouldn't stress the differences in nationality. Everybody is related after all. On the other hand, patriotism probably unites inhabitants of the country. I think, that finding the balance is the key.

Reflection 6

I am wondering why so many people believe in aliens. First of all, there seems to be no evidence for existence of any. I think, that when an ordinary event happens people ascribe it to aliens only because they started believing in them at first. I often hear an argument, that life couldn't have started at only one of so many planets. I disagree with this argument, because one event of life beginning is already something special. Such unusal event happening two times only doubles the impropability. Also, I read somewhere, that it is less probable for molecules to line up to creat life than for a person to correctly bet on a second from a period of 5 billion years. I am lead to a conclusion, that people believe in aliens, because they don't want to be alone in the universe.
