You saw to it that the right legal steps were taken to vindicate the one wronged and then decided to stand beside that person who did wrong; because they wanted to change and did turn themselves in. I told my kids that love does not just "turn off"because someone did a terrible wrong, that they, more than anyone; should realize this, as I treated them and their own father when he was alive in the same way. All steps to reach understanding are met with,,"get out of my life, unless you leave him, I want nothing to do with you" Grandkids all cut off from seeing me and I was told "they have lost their Grandmother" as if I was the one to leave them! More blame on me. My betrayel seems to be that I would not conform to their wishes. If I do not join them I cannot be with them. I was told that "If You wish to have a relationship with this family you will never mention his name" Another words,I need them they don't need or want me.What to do?? 10 years of trying.

I feel sort of overwhelmed, and I don't know where I am going with my life. I am currently a Junior in high school, and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I also have many so-called "problems." I'm anorexic, and most of my life revolves around weighing myself and wondering if I'm going to lose weight soon. I also play the piano and read philosophy/other books and that is what I like to do. I don't feel like I have much of a future. I only have a 3.5 GPA and I don't feel I'm doing well. I basically feel dumb and fat and sad. I don't know what to do...Sometimes I feel like wasting away since I am a burden to others.

A friend of mine and I were talking about the concept of life after death and he brought up a theory, inspired, he said, by a book he read:

The moment before you die, your brain goes through a cyclical process where you perceive yourself over and over again, an infinite amount of times, all within the smallest unit of time. Basically, it's not unlike a dream--the shortest dream, in real-time, can feel like it lasts forever. He tied this back to living within your own consciousness, during what feels like eternity, since you cannot grasp the concept of time, but only within the liminal nano-second between life and death.

Is there any science to back this up? Is it even a real theory? I've never heard of it before, but he swore that it has been backed up with "scientific" explanations.

No, I'm not suicidal. But I think all the time about not having to worry about money, or work or school, or being responsible for so many things. Is this weird?

I wouldn't mind a few extra dollars myself, but I prefer to actually work for my money instead of getting it out of pity for what happend several generations ago. Besides, by accepting reparations as compensation for what happened, they're putting a dollar ammount on the suffering that their ancestors endured, which doesn't seem right either.

Show how 3 factors: 1. The belief in in-group superiority of White workers;

2. exploitative practices of businesses; and

3. the creation of between group competition for a perceived scarce resource (jobs and land)

led to the extreme prejudice against Chinese and Japanese workers who immigrated to this country.

and I am suddenly at a dismal crossroads.
Ahead lies an all-too-clear view
Of what would be my own
Not in a century of Sundays.
Behind, the youthful pleasure
I once writhed in, obstructing the view
Of childhood grace and innocence.
The east-bound wind bears the fate of the west,
And though it chases after me,
My body and mind cannot come to peace,
And I evade collision with it.
Glancing right I see the loneliest path of all
Though provoking it may be,
As I have tasted the juice of its early berries,
It offers no redemption,
As I know not where it travels.
and so I travel with no guidance.
I walk on feet, held in the arms of none.
I look back, and the image has already faded.
Besides, time travels in but one direction.
The undeserving neighbor has won the promises
Of the paradise ahead
The lady of the west wears the garments
Of the child of the past.
It is not an escape, but a painful return.
I grow tired of walkingin circles,
So I sit inthe center and wait.
