THE UNIVERSE WILL UNFOLD AS IT SHOULD
I take it as what will be will be so dont stress over the things u cant change.
Some people think its an excuse to never worry about anything.
But i would love to know what you think!

I don't believe it is, provided everyone involved is a consenting adult and they use protection.

Sex is the most natural and powerful of human drives. If somebody wants to make a living having sex, and somebody else wants to have sex with that person, who cares?

For myself I wouldn't fool around with a prostitute or be one. And I don't support marriages falling apart or anything, but you can hardly blame that on prostitution.

I'd really like a logical refutation based on something besides Biblical morality.

Your life has just ended and you are given the opportunity to return too the world you left. The catch is... that your life now will begin at the age of your death, you will appear as you previously were but no one will know you as you were. All history with family and friends will have ended with your passing and cannot be rekindled. You must move on! Could you?

Please answer this question with some thought and insight. Ever since I was a little kid, my parents always told me to tell the truth and honesty is the best policy, such and such. But as I get older, I see there is not much use in telling people the truth. Truth hurts and life is too short to be hurt for things that should or could be avoided. As you know, there is no Good or Evil, there is only action and reaction, and it is thus a value judgment of an action to be good or bad.

So my question is, should I spend my life telling people what they want to hear and let them figure out life's mysteries themselves? I mean I will not lie to harm but to let them hear what they want to hear.

Example:

Girl ask:: Should I leave my boyfriend?

You: Well...let me ask you this question. Do you still love him?

Girl: Yes I still do, very much so.

You: Well there you go. You have answered your own question.

Deep inside, she don't want a logical answer, just assurance.

I was just thinking about what happens to people who opt to die. I don't mean by sucide but with help, medically. Like help from that man Kovorikian before he got in trouble
I have been taught that if I were to commit sucide I would go straight to hell, do you think the same applies to people who just want to be free from the pain or sickness that they have been plagued with?

A girl cried out into the shroud of night
Which long had silenced those who cried before
But now the neighbors scurried in their fright
While fiinding comfort locked behind their doors

Her cries just might as well had gone unheard
For little did they do if but for harm
The stranger ired by her every word
The neighbors drawing no cause for alarm

And so alone she suffered her assault
Reflecting on the day to be her last
Her tears more full of loss than common salt
Entreated time to seize her as he passed

As time obliged her tormentor withdrew
Incensately she fell across the walk
And all that she had ever known or knew
Coupled with her breath and left in smoke

Collectively the neighbors dared to sigh
Now free to move about as any bird
The stranger didn't need an alibi
No one had seen a thing or heard a word

I know that the major ways of kwowing in general are:
Logic, Language, Perception, and Emotion...
but i want to know how death fits into some or all of these.
for example, I feel grief when somebody dies, so I know death emotionally.

If you do, do you see, do you hear, do you fell, do you taste, can you tocht, do you smell.
But isn't all of this things what define reality.
So in our dream we lose are concioness of the "real world" and enter are "dream world.
So it make you think, is are world real. Remember the only thing we see is light, but we can't see light. Yeah we can see the dust when we flash a flashlight on a dust house.

A gift that allows you to read some of the future, and 'feel' others pain? And sometimes, mentally connect with others that have the gift?
