i always say that an apology comes from regret, a knowledge that if you went back to do it again you'd do it differently. and so, when someone is in the act, they can't apologize, because if they were really sorry, they'd stop. but that also makes me wonder how God can forgive us when we repent but, being such horrid sinners, we're still sinning AS we repent.
also, when someone says they're sorry for an act that you find them frequently doing, it's hard to believe them because if they say sorry each time, they'd regret it each time. if they did regret it each time they wouldn't do it again.
i dunno, i just got an apology from someone who wasn't only IN the act, but also does the act frequently.
they said "sorry" i said "no you're not, but it's all good" and they said "i am", and i stayed quiet..
anyway just bugs me and i've been trying to sort out my thoughts on apologies.
is there anything you remind yourself of whenever someone says "sorry"?

i had a dream that still bothers me. it was raining and it started to flood the house. i had friends, family, and ppl i didnt recognize in the house. i started to scream,"COME UP THE THE 2ND FLOOR," but no one would listen to me. my daughter was the only one who came upstairs. i saw my son drown, thats when everyone started racing up the stairs. by the time most of the ppl were upstairs the 1st floor was sumerged with rain. everyone was acting like none of their children had just died. before i awoke, i turned and saw my son alive. that was the end of the dream. please i really would like serious answers, this dream really upset me.

In the course of a lifetime, we come across people who have intentionally harmed or insulted us. How can we protect ourselves against people with such intentions especially if we anticipate that these people are likely to replicate their past behaviour.

People like these can be from any walk of life - e.g. your colleague sitting in the next cabin who has intentionally taken credit for the work done by you or your neighbour who intentionally throws garbage in your yard.

In short, they can not be avoided plus, the idea is, if possible, how to reform these people into better human beings and citizens? How can we change their thought patterns? How can we win them over so that the "good" resident in them becomes the dominant part of their personality?

At the same time, v should b able 2 maintain, if not enhance, our dignity - "stoop to conquer" is not s'thing dat I personally find appealing!

I look forward 2 hearing some thot thru / considered responses.

Thanks & Cheers!

Are you happy, sad, busy, depressed? Do you realize that wherever you are - it is because of your own design? Your own thoughts created your reality. You are the master of your world. If you want changes - YOU CAN make them.
How?
Don't think of what you don't want.
(why can't I do, have...)
Start thinking of what you want.
(I want, can do, will have..)
See yourself as the unique, talented, beautiful person that you are and allow your individual potentials to evolve.

Infaltion indicates Economic Mis-Management.

Whenever a product is bought or sold beyond its real price for its worth, then Inflation of money occurs.

One example I can quote for this.

After the MNC's arrival and raising the professional engineers salary beyond 60K per month, the Builders and Banks seems to join hand together to inflate the price of rural lands for building Lifestyle apartments with swimming pools and landscaping.

Since loans are available easily engineers blindly take loans to buy their dream home because they can afford and also home is a basic necessity. Also pride sets in for buying such homes.

Here the true price of land and house is inflated 3 to 5 times and all that extra inflated price goes to the Builders as profit. Here the inflated price amount does not do any real improvement for the geneal economy.

Govt and RBI should evaulate the real price and stop the builders from devouring all the inflated money.

What do you think the meaning of life is? It could mean anything, but we don't know for sure what it is. I've been pounding my head for years and years to come to figure out what it is. Alas, I have not found the answer I seek. So, what does it mean to you? Does it mean Power? Happiness? Sadness? Trust?

I am a man with a large nose, which I believe greatly reduces my chances with women and has caused me misery and self-awreness since childhood, since it was the butt of many a joke. I am not fond of pictures especially side elvations because of my nose and my confidence does get affected sometimes by this nose. Is it a sin (I'm a Christian) to get rhinoplasty (nose job) to reshape it and reduce its size to give me a better look and maybe end my lonely spell. I know some might say that, it is what is in the heart that will help find the right person, but hey, after so many years of loneliness, one begins to re-evaluate his options.

I'm flippin serious. Is there a biological basis for laziness?
So i don't like waking up ... someone answered because i'm lazy.
If that is the case why do i have no problem getting up? Only going to sleep because the though of waking up is HORRIBLE. Some mornings i wake up crying over worldly injustices that really shouldn't be on my mind when i open my eyes. Not sure what that got to do with laziness.
But ... is there a biological/genetic basis for 'laziness'?

Ok, first off, I'm a woman myself and I believe in women being respected and decently treated as human beings. But I am not a feminist for several reasons. The so-called feminist movement has caused more problems for women than there were to begin with. I support women in the workplace, but only if the father stays at home or if both parents work part-time, otherwise they won't have time to supervise and raise their kids enough which has resulted in so many problems. Also, certain women have this skewed idea in their heads that I cannot wrap my head around that promiscuity and abortions somehow "empower" women. They don't empower women but the total opposite. I've also noticed that in attempt to gain respect, women have lost respect from men by being vulgar and promiscuous. Men actually used to respect women more than they do today, you know, chivalry? Now thanks to feminism, chivalry no longer exists since it resulted in decline of morals and respect for both men and women.
