Let's say it's a Battle Royal with eight fighters, man or woman, all from history or even present day if it's someone of worldwide importance, who would you throw into the ring and see do battle for the title? I think it would be especially entertaining if you were to describe the reasoning behind each of your eight choices. What talents in the wrestling ring would you assume each of your choices possess? Be creative!

In caring for others and serving heaven,
There is nothing like using restraint.
Restraint depends on giving up one's own ideas.
This depends on Virtue gathered in the past.
If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.
If a man knows no limits, then he is fit to be a ruler.
The mother principle of ruling holds good for a long time.
This is called having deep roots and a firm foundation,
The Tao of long life and eternal vision.

what do you think this means?

I need help breaking down this poem for its meaning, I hope someone can help because I cant ask the writer until next week. (Poem was written by my bf in the Army)

Lovely premonitions travels within my mind with no opposition
Intellectually interpreted and constructed from what we already have
Yet captivating captious motives have arrived, not from my behalf
Purgatory is where i stand, although my soul feels licit
Don't feel ligature when it comes to me; irregular it seems
This dramatic drama is ravaging my dreams; a drawback indeed
Distinctive distinction extinguish the disturbance within
although I love you, I'm willing to be your best friend.

As I see it the only possible way for one to justify a lie as being 'white' is if they have absolute knowledge of the situation (which is impossible) and if they can accurately predict the other person's response (which is dubious at best).

Most lies, even so-called 'white' lies are discovered in the long run and are most often much more painful at that time. Lying, even with the best of intentions, only adds to the pain and suffering of being a human and degrades the liar's self-esteem to boot.

Furhtermore the concept of 'white lies' is all too often used as a cover for telling selfish lies (ie - to justify telling a lie not to protect the other person but to prevent embarrassment on the part of the liar).

If you agree, why is this such a widespread phenomena?

If you don't, can you convince me that I'm wrong? (I'm listening but I don't want to be lied to)

If it is based on opinion and seen differently in everybodies eyes?

Or is it really the creative mind of the person behind the camera and their skill to be able to think of something and capture it perfectly?

Religions for the most part I believe, but if we had no religion who would determine it is wrong to kill somone, or commit necrophelia. Society determines most of this but society is based mostly on religion.

I know that it's easier to learn as a child or teen, but I want to learn to play guitar and I'm almost 30 years old. Is this possible? Are there some older people out there who just learned to play an instrument? Just curious! Thanks!

I'm looking for a good love story to get absorbed in. I'm not really into those Harlequin paperback types; I like something more realistic and contemporary. I have read a few Nicholas Sparks and I liked a couple, so I don't need any of those recommended. My favorite love story is a little novella called "The Falconer" by Elaine Clark McCarthy. I also like "The Hottest State" by Ethan Hawke and Nick Hornsby's "High Fidelity." (Which I read both before the movies were ever made). I suppose I'd be open to something with a sci-fi or fantasy element. (I do like time travel stuff) But mostly I'm looking for something more contemporary. And nothing too explicit or raunchy please. In fact if there is a good Christian fiction love story out there let me know the title! Thanks!

Where exactly did we come from?
How was the universe created?
What is beyond the multiverses?
If God created us who created God?
Do you have an answer to the questions?
Any theory will do, really...
If not, do you think they willl EVER be answered??
