The existance of heaven and/or hell has been disputed between atheists and religious people for a long time. However, from my logic, i find a slightly different case.
1. Hell
Hell is supposed to be the place where you get punished for your sins through torturous ways. However, we all have the ability to adapt- it is hardwired into all of us. This would result in adapting to the constant pain and suffering depicted in hell. People would get used to the pain - like a battle hardened warrior, and hell would become much less effective. Also, after spending a long time in hell, you would result in becoming pessimistic if your not a moron. This would also make the torture less effective. If hell cant do all these things, then it cant exist.
Actually the closest thing to hell would be where people could get dissapointed continually - which in order of that to happen , something has to bring their spirits up before it comes crashing down again. This of course, is known as planet Earth today.
2. Heaven
Heaven is supposed to be where everyone can coexist happily together for very long , if not infinite amounts of time. I find that this is impossible as everyone has their own different versions of heaven and no one thing can satisfy everyone. If people have to change values , to get into heaven, then it cant possibly be a heaven worth going to.
If heaven were to exist, it would be a massive illusion where everything seems to work your way while every person is actually fake. Everyone would have their own versions of heaven to go to. We wouldnt be able to tell the difference if we're dead. If you ask me, a heaven without some real people (resulting in conflicts and becomeing not heaven) cant be any heaven i can imagine.
To summarise, there cant be a real heaven and hell, there is only this reality which is a mixture of both. It has its bad points and it has its good points. I really cant picture them separated.
(On a later note) I still must consider the opposite though (to be fair), there is much unknown about the universe, other dimensions and other things, so anything is possible, even if only in our dreams.

Luck (its about time)
Luck should be shared equally throughout ones life as well as through the world.
When i say luck, i mean good fortune, and when i say bad luck , i mean bad fortune.
For example ... Lets say someone has really bad luck one day. Then , there would either have been good luck previously , or good luck will soon come.
Unfortunately, its difficult to say when an incident of good luck will balance out an incident of bad luck or if its already been balanced out.
Heres my observations:
1. Someone who wins the Lotto usually has some drawback or other afterwards. This could include being robbed because everyone knows you have alot of money or even a family dispute over who actually won the money.
2. You find money some time in your life, then you lose some money in your life.
Im not saying that you'd get good luck in the same form the bad luck was in , (finding . then losing money etc), it usually is in another form.
Also, the incident of good luck might not be visible, like being unaware that you narrowly missed dying etc.
Other peoples bad luck can also cause bad luck or good luck to other people. E.g A car crash delaying a schools starting time to the kids delight :D
Due to the inability to monitor everyones lives at once and see if luck is actually shared equally , my theory cant be disproven =D
This way of thinking however, may trigger optimism when bad things happen and pessimism when good things happen though.
But what it does do is get rid of the belief that ones life can be all good or all bad, if someones life seems too good to be true, you probably dont know about the person enough.
It also reduces jealousy because if something good happens to someone else , you can count on that something bad has happened or will happen so everyone is equal , even to the one who has nothing happen to them.

The Placebo Effect
Most people have heard of the placebo effect, but why does it happen ?
In most cases, simply believing that you will get better from a sickness actually does help you get better.
My explanation is that we do actually sub-conciously control our so called 'automatic functions' like the immune system in this case. When you think you'll get better, you make your immune system work harder to rid the sickness. To what extent i do not know of, but im sure it would work for other systems in your body.
One thing is for sure is that we do control our bodies more than we think we do. A large percentage of the brain seems to be unused for most of the time. Perhaps this part of the brain is used for controlling the normally automatic processes in the body ? Who knows. It may be discovered one day to be completely different.
To sum this up, The placebo effect can be extended to my theory that
'We can sub-conciously control our own normally automatic functions' but should not have a very large effect without the obvious actions that can be done to improve bodily functions.
E.g balanced diet = better immune system and other things
E.g Some sort of exercise = higher muscle development
So basically, positive thinking towards health actually does help the body in some way, but towards other things , it would be an entirely different matter.

The Meaning Of Life
The meaning of life has been questioned by many people.
And I have an answer to it.
Note: If you dont believe in the Theory of Evolution, then your either retarded or ignorant. (Theres just so much damn evidence that just works with everything)
Lets Take a look at Nature first of all.
Life first appeared about 3.4 billion years ago.
It has evolved and survived to this very day.
Well, most of the life anyway.
The Meaning of Life is to survive, and pass our genes to the next generation.
This makes sense considering all the trouble nature goes to to make sure that it still exists.
Why else would there be natural selection ?
The Weakest Die first.
The Strong/surviving pass their genes to the next generation.
This produces generations that get stronger and more survivable by the generation.
So nature gets more adaptable to suit the Earths changing environment.
This meaning of life is most evident what observing animals.
The Gift of intelligence messes with the system and allows the weak to survive.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind - for the good of the human race.
EDITING IN PROGESS . . . . (I have found an importance for intelligence)

Balances
LOOK AT GOOGLE
Now back on Topic.
Balances between things seem to make it more fair.
Balances of opposing things such as light and darkness seem to also make sense.
Upsetting a balance will only lead to destruction .... or mass boredom...
An example is the balance between the rate of births to deaths - currently there are more births than deaths.
And what is one of the biggest problems facing the world today ?
OVERPOPULATION.
If there werent so many people being born in harsh conditions in africa, there wouldnt be those ' starving children'.
Just Existing for a short amount of time before starving to death and dying ?
Their better off not existing - im sure they'll agree... unless we did offer some help.
But we cant help everyone.
Now back to the subject.
OVERPOPULATION
There are simply too many people.
The Earth cant handle it.
Nature cant handle it.
And if the problem isnt fixed soon the human race will die out.
There are too many people living, so the death rate would be increased.
Nature helps keep things in balance.
But the human race as a whole, it destroying it to selfishly preserve their own lives.
Luckily the Earth can compensate.
More people everywhere = more people affected by natural disasters = more dead.
However , the human race prevails .
So what does the earth do ?
It just so happens that the cycle of global warming is back.
WHICH MEAN MORE WEATHER RELATED NATURAL DISASTERS =D =D =D =D
No im not a sadist.
Its just that for anything that happens , good and bad things come from it.
Example.
Person Dying:
The good: The persons corpse can provide nutrients for new life to grow.
The Bad: A Person Dead obviously.
Note: The advent of coffins make it very difficult for the human body to decompose and feed new life..
Another Example:
A Person Being Born
The Good: New Life ... obviously
The Bad: Yet another strain on the earths resources. High chance of the person destroying nature in some way or another.
However , Killing people is natures job.
So it doesnt mean that you can kill people for the good of the human race.
I actually have went off topic.
I was meant to be typing about luck.
Damn i went way off. o_O

This May be controversial - Religion
Being somewhat in between aethiest and religious , i can look at religions at a different perspective.
The most common religions all seem to do one thing - tell people to be good.
They mainly say that if your good, you'll go to heaven or some other reward like heaven. Every religion has their own name for it.
It cannot be determined if it exists or not.
However , how many people do good deeds for the religious benefit or simply because its the right thing to do ?
I wonder.
Religions still have achieved making the human race , in general , more good.
What i dont get is if the religion's purpose if to make people do good , why did it result in religious wars in the past and still arguments between religion that happen today ?
Too bad most people dont follow their religion properly.
As for me , I dont need a religion top give me reason to do good.
Ill follow my own beliefs and see what life has to offer me.
I dont need to be bribed to do good.

The very brief Theory of Light and Darkness
First of all , I did not rip this idea off KH - KH just has some good philophies that i agree with.
Also , i wont be saying much about this theory works , because its too extensive and cant be trusted on the internet.
Its not like ill forget it anytime soon anyway =D
Lets just say that Light and Darkness or good and evil or other anologies ( i cant spell -_-) cant exist without the other.
The yin & yang symbol makes alot of sense here.
Thats all ill say here .
If others know too much about someone , they could use how the person thinks or other weaknesses against them.
And i dont want to reveal my weaknesses , it just gives others the opportunity to exploit it.
If you want to know my weaknesses , im going to have to trust you ALOT first o_O
