This question , although it sounds directed towards christians, is not so.
What i'm asking is, once you've accepted someone as your guide/mentor/guru/saviour
will it shake your faith in him, to know that he was married ?Does everything change..or do you continue to love his teachings?

What can I do to help myself?

I am a very sensitive person and everything gets to me when I am stressed. To the point when I have many breakdowns, crying I was seeing a college psychologist 3 weeks ago, and her timing was wrong. We went to the sensitive subjects and I couldn't take it. I stopped seeing her and had a lot of anger. Now, I have some anger left in me, but I have completely changed. I'm pretty cold, bitchy towards my friends, don't care about failing, things no longer bother me. In the past I was extremely dedicated to my education, friends, family. Now, I don't give a shitt about anything. I just don't care, but I don't want to continue this way either. I don't have the time and the patience to see a psychologist. Some of them suuck anyway.

I am also very forgetful, don't give a hoot about my passion anymore, just enjoy socializing.

Do you think it is fair to have a child?

I wonder if having a child isn't simply an egotistical act. Pure narcissism. What benefit is there in life?

By giving them life we inflict social and genetic failings on them, what Grace is there in that? Am I being purely pessimistic here?

Maybe if, in the days before contraception, monks and nuns were encouraged to practise celibacy, not because sex is bad but more because the act of bringing children into the world was and is an act of the highest selfishness and cruelty.

Do you believe that the majority of human beings:
a. tend to concentrate selfishly on their individual needs and affairs and show little or no interest in those of others and
b. are not genuine and are artificial in maintaining high principles?

or, rather, *should* I value everyone's opinion equally? or should i look to the well informed in whatever area i'm dealing with to evaluate?
for instance, given an odd situation of a televised operation... if i want to stop a patient on an operating table from bleeding to death and asked everyone in the television audience for their opinion, this would be a pretty dumb thing to do... but if i ask the other doctors in the room and ignore the television audience, i think we could agree that this would be more reasonable...

but everyone just loves to insist that "all opinions are valid"... I'm of the opinion that they certainly are not!

Similarly, with ethical questions, should I ask my friend who is a steel-welder who has studied welding all of his life and never read about or discussed ethics what the right thing to do is in a tough situation? or would I be better off going to a theological enthusiast or philosopher?

1. Unity is indiscernible if no difference is between unity and nothingness.

2. Unity is discernible only through the differences between unity and nothingness.

3. Unity is discernible only as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment" through the differences between unity and nothingness. (Tabulate the differences between unity & nothingness, if you do not have!)
