You know those moments in the movies, with the main charecter having so many problems, then meeting a true friend, and that one scene where their arms are outstretched, with that genuine smile on, and they express the lesson they've learned, etc. I long for one of those moments, so full of life, and an understanding of the world, so much. You see, the people in Hollywood can't make it all up! I just wish for one such heart-warming moment of knowing I am in the right place at the right time, and in the right to begin with. Just one life altering smile, with my arms outstretched and a lesson learned.... my heart bursting with energy and life and memories being made. I have not been married, have never given birth. I wonder... are such moments wishful thinking? And if not have you had one, and is there hope for me, such a desparate film watcher? I got this thought from watching a trailer online for The Holiday, and I was happy and sad at that part with Kate Winslet..... can it be?

I am a kind-hearted person who loves my family and friends above all else. I also get great satisfaction from helping others in need and would gladly give freely of my time/money to help those less fortunate. However, as we all know there are those in this world whose intentions are less than altruistic in nature. Some of them are cruel, insensitive or worse; finding gain in others misfortune for whatever reason. I suppose I would call these individuals my "enemies".
I recently had to deal with a situation at work where the best path to safeguard myself and my family was to turn the other cheek and play "buddy" with my boss.
It pained me to take responsibility for this person's mistakes, take a demotion, and pretend to be their friend and support them. However, their influence was far too great to overcome and I did what needed to be done to keep my job and support my family.
What is core meaning of this phrase and is it a viable option for a good-hearted person to embrace it?

I'm looking for a possible job change, to find something that I will love to do and be able to pay enough to support myself. I was an art major in college, BFA in photography. I would like to pursue that, but it's so competitive!!! I'm not good in a business sense, so I would be afraid to open a business, only to have it fail.

For those who are students of the scholar Alvin Plantiga. If the answer is no than his what the proof demonstrates is the impossibility of anything not being itself. This impossibility, however, can only apply to the actual world since possible other worlds and all possible entities within them by definition are hypothetical and nonexistent.

Is it possible to love without seeing, kiss the soul without touching, to give everything on a belief? All the same, but all so different.

Because who ever does think for themselves? As a baby, if we are not given physical contact besides minimal life support, our minds will be stunted once we having nothing to mimic. There are cases where average healthy babies are deprived of social interaction and grow up completely helpless. Most of these babies do not even live past age 8. If freewill most be forced on us to exist then how are laws and circumstances irrelevant? If people have limited and different forms of freewill then why does freewill state people are equally responsible for the same actions?

I thought that I was in love in a couple of past relationships, but I realize now that it was more of infatuation. I sometimes wonder if love even exists?

I believe "everyone" has a BASIC PURPOSE for living. I think we all choose our own goals, and therefore determine our own purposes for living.

My Basic Purpose for living is to WORK.

The type of work I do changes from time to time, and the rewards I get in exchange for my efforts vary.

But, when it come right down to the most basic/fundamental reason I live... I must say (and this is based on many years of observation and analysis), I LIVE TO WORK.

Why do you live?

OR

What are you trying to accomplish in life?

ALL honest/heartfelt answers will be thoroughly appreciated.

Thanks.
