I am looking for answers from metaphysically-minded folks. This statement is showing itself to be true, but I want to know why it's so. I suspect it's a societal mechanism which we have unconsciously accepted, so I want to know what you think (if you think in metaphysical ways) and also what it takes to reverse this thought process and eliminate the handle it has on our reality. Anyone recognized this belief affecting their life and reversed it or thought about why it showed up as reality?

If someone else fills YOUR glass for you, they get to OWN it for themselves! Take control of your own life, put your big girl, or big boy pants on, and get on with filling that glass up for your self!

After all, YOU get to choose what you want to drink. Life is too short to allow others to control what goes into your mind, soul, body, and spirit. God has given each and every one of us the FREE WILL CHOICE to decide for ourselves what we do for the rest of our lives. When bad things happen, and they DO, and they WILL, what are YOU going to do?

Do we take ourselves too seriously or not enough? There's always two sides.

Evolution and Creation have been debated on for as long as I can remember. I know where I stand but I try my hardest to understand where others do.

So if you could tell me your view and your reasons I would really like to read them. Maybe make sense of were the others fall on the whole situation.

We devalue the lives of others, especially if they have fallen on hard times (homeless, jobless). We devalue the importance of people that we have known for a long time (husband, wife, friends). We devalue things that we have had for a relativley long time. We devalue the ideas and customs of old (philosophy, art, science). Sooner or later we will have devalued most things in our lives, they will take a place of lesser import to us than the newer thing.

Why do we devalue things in life?

Please explain your reasonings.

Thanks.

I'm blessed to live in a good home and have a good family, but I just don't see how people can say that life is grand and perfect when much of the world is in trouble...

Africa is a pure example of how humans are disgusting, and on the same-level as cockroaches. Is "being human" all about survival, reproduction, and depleting all valuable resources which satisfy "utility equations" as defined by other humans.

If those starving populations were given a stable government with $3billion in oil revenue--would they not just deplete it optimally?

Why don't enough mad scientists who think the way I do, do something about the problem.

We need to get involved, join cancer-research, habitat for humanities. Big brother big sister. Ymca. D.A.R.E. (keeping children off drugs) and finally get together to stop global warming.

Why can't we just leave Iraq and appease the "powerhungry 1%" who want to rule, for the benefit of peace for the 99%.

Even when Sadam Husabin who lead Iraq, at least their was peace and no road-side-bombs or I.E.D.s

Why can't the 6 billion of us just agree to disagree but shed no blood. Let society quarrel but w/o violence

On a scale of 1-100, do you accept yourself, do you accept others and do you accept the world as it exists?

Do you believe that people tend to accept reality, or distance themselves from it?
