I believe that every moment is different and special. No moment is exactly the same and the
uniqueness of the moment makes it special to certain individuals. |

The debate topic itself I like.
I agree with the idea.
Every moment is important: They all add up to what will become known as your life, when you are gone
from this earth. |

If one takes the time to watch a toddler on an afternoon out, they will see that there is nothing
ordinary when you are experiencing life in the moment. As we grow older, we forget to live for the
moment and lose the perspective of the toddler who could teach all of us a lesson in life. Every
moment can be extraordinary if we allow it to be. We can tap into our "inner child" and let our
curiosity of the world around us allow us to experience life the way the toddler does as he/she is
experiencing everything anew.
As adults, sadly most of us, myself included are too busy thinking of things we must accomplish and
taking care of responsibilities in an almost robotic fashion that we don't take the time to
experience the things going on around us as we do these things. We do have to be responsible and
take care of our homes, kids, and jobs, but we can find a way to experience an extraordinary moment
in there along the way. Simply performing life's more mundane requirements with a smile on your
face and taking a moment to stretch and enjoy the scent of...let's say your laundry detergent (I
used this example because I detest doing laundry), is allowing an ordinary moment the chance to
become extraordinary especially if you pass this on to your children so they may learn not to take
life for granted and to cherish all of life's moments. |

I love this topic! I know I take life for granted not because I'm selfish but because it's
habits.
Like quadriplegics, they can't even raise their hand to itch their eyebrow or something like that,
and when average people do it, it's like they totally don't even notice because it's more than a
learned habit.
Anyways...Life is beyong taken for granted. It's almost abused. |

There are no ordinary moment but I do believe people should always live their life more in the
moment and not in the past or dwell on things.
All too often people are trying to figure out what they are about to do next or say in the future
which is OK. When goal setting.
Be spontaneous. Get the most out of life.;-)) |

Ordinary is just a meaningless word used to impose a sense of order and control on the universe
around us by people who would rather shrink the world than expand the mind. |

I like to think of our moments that fashion our life as snowflakes, each one is different, some are
bigger than others, and most are relatively insignificant, but when you put them together you can
create something magnificent, like a storm or a blizzard. |

If the moment can’t be replicated with exact precision, it isn’t ordinary.

Some say we are a grain of sand on a beach in this massive universe. The smallest speck in
comparison to the immense unknown.
They are wrong. The universe is the speck compared to the person. There is nothing ordinary about a
person. It is the singlemost extraordinary thing that could be loved by its creator.
Ordinary moments. No such thing. |

There are common moments, reoccurring moments, but no ordinary moments.
Today I haven’t really accomplished anything
worth remembrance. I woke up early, went to work and on my way home I stopped for groceries. When I
finally got home I exercised, ate, and fixed the cable, and I got the internet working again, and
then went for a walk. By this time I was exhausted from a long day. The only thing left to do was
go to sleep. This day will not be remembered, but when I think about it, it is the backbone of days
and should be idolized, but alas, I will not remember.
The days we don’t remember are the days we live for. |

There's never nothing going on and there's something extraordinary in all of us. Whether that makes
us ordinary, or not, it should still be special to us.
Hold yourself dear and follow where the moments take you. Life is not measured by the amount of
breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.
Shoot, you better push it.
I'm outta breath right now.
I'll let you catch up. |

Life is full of ordinary moments. It is these ordinary moments I crave, that make life so sweet and
delectable. I love the haiku poetry form. Haiku is only about the exquisite poignancy of ordinary
moments
Birds from my window---
Feathers and wind ruffling---
Doves melting with clouds--
This is how haiku honors the ordinary moments. |

If there are no ordinary moments, then there are no extraordinary moments. |

I know this is a mistake, but I feel the need to disagree with genkaku.
Life if choked full of ordinary moments. Things you need to do everyday, brushing your teeth,
washing, sitting on the loo, making dinner, letting the dog out, driving to work, driving home from
work, doing the shopping. Unless something out of the ordinary occurs.
If I was having a sht and thinking how extraordinary this moment was, I'd be worried. |

Ordinary moments are the moments that aren't extraordinary. |

This moment is pretty ordinary for me. I'm sitting at my computer debating on forandagainst.com
while listening to "spaceman" by the killers. Ive done both at the same time before more than once,
so this is nothing new or unusual. |
