We can sooth others, make them feel better and/or ok. But we could never make ourselves feel better and/or ok. If we, ourselves think about ours lives or current situation too much, we would often get lost in it. We'd be thinking, "Why am I thinking like this?" or "Am I only saying this to make me feel better?"

It's hard to explain, but I have had the feeling for a long time that I'm not using my time to the best of my ability. I'm just wasting the days away looking striving towards something in the future, yet when 'the future' arrives all I do is waste time looking towards something else.
My situation is I have 2 months of freedom- I have a house, car, money. I can do (within reason) whatever I want. Yet all I do is waste my days on trivial things like shopping or housework. It's not a case of I-could-die-tomorrow-so-should... more like this feeling... is this what life is? I've wasted so much time and energy on fruitless exercises and why do I continue to do so?

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I need to work this out before I can sleep and there's probably no-one I know awake who I can talk this through with. It'd be interesting to hear anyone elses thoughts, whatever they are! Thanks.

I mean literally, while we watch tv and complain about how there is nothing on, others are working harder than we ever will to produce a mere dollar or less.

Obviously these bombings were heroic acts that saved millions of lives.

Contrast Japan and the US:

When Japan defeated a nation, they enslaved, raped, and murdered not just the enemy military, but the civilian population as well, including women, children, and the elderly, in the order of millions. This was AFTER the fighting had stopped.

When the US was fighting Japan, they only destroyed the Japanese military and the infrastructure supporting Japan's military - of course Japan's civilians were completely tied up in the military. After the war was over, rather than executing the defeated Japanese by the millions, the US immediately rebuilt Japan to be more prosperous and freer than it had ever been before.

Just some observations after hearing liberals whining about how America was evil to use nuclear weapons against Japan in 1945.

If you're a creationist, why did God make monkeys? Why did he make monkeys if we were supposed to be perfect? Not that we are anymore.

If you're an evolutionist, then what is the meaning of life? What is the point of working so hard to make a living if in the end you will die and disappear forever? What is the point if there is no heaven in the end?

Or do you believe in something else?

a basic value... but how to trust?
i once heard "trust someone until they give you a reason to not trust them" probably something from the bible.
but i have been seeing things differently...why wait for them to deceive you? why just give them your trust in the blink of an eye? i think you should keep an eye on them until they have given much reason to earn your trust...
I also believe that once trust has been taken away, it can almost never be earned back.
If a deceitful person is given the chance to be trusted, they will of course deceive you, but a truthful person will expect trust for they are a truthful person...
is that the difference?
if someone expects trust they can be trusted?
it is so hard to see past lies..

I am directly descended from an Irishman named John MacStreate who came to Virginia as a ship captain in 1609 and signed for the Second Virginia Charter. I've been told by my great grandfather that I'm descended even further to a king named "Harold or someone else". Any place where I can find Street family history that dates back further than 1067 AD? Or/and where I may find portraits of Virginia Street families or glass frame portraits of older portraits? What is the origin of the Street family?

I'm 15, my birthday's coming up and I told my parents I want to buy a lot of books since I'm a bookworm, you could say. The problem is I'm really confused on which books I should get. I already made a list, but I'm not quite sure if they would be good or not. I love Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror. I'm gonna list a few books I like so that no one suggests things that I have already read:

- Harry Potter
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- Twlight (don't care if it's for girls!
- A Wrinkle in Time
- The Dark Tower
- The House of The Scorpion
- Anne Rice's Vampire Series
- The Bartimaues Trilogy
- Pendragon
