...it's probably been asked before. But i've looked and can't find it, so i'm going to ask again.
Because i'm really interested- would people live like they've never lived before or would they fear every day and sit feeling sorry for themselves...?

For example, Japan and holds US government bonds. When they receive interest on these bonds, how does it affect their BOP? (I think it is considered a credit and the current account will increase.) If that is the case, I believe it increases GDP. Thoughts?

Other than those people who suffer from medical conditions or terminal illnesses or incarceration, do people create their own living hell? Whether it is a customer who is screaming in agony because a package is showing up a day late. Or a teenaged girl is suffering because she is not getting any attention from her boyfriend. Or a person who hates his or her job yet continues to stay year after year. Do you believe that suffering is a choice? And if you believe suffering is a choice, is it possible to choose happiness?

In Buddhism there are four truths: Life is suffering. Suffering is due to attachments. Understanding this, one can transcend over their attachments. Once one transcends over their attachments, they will no longer suffer.

In other words, do some people build mountains over molehills? It occurs to me suffering can be reduced by the notion of acceptance. If one were able to reduce their suffering after accepting what happens, then is it possible for anyone to acce

The word adrenaline means of something distressful and which different from word excitement means enjoyment of something pleasant.

So why this guy could like this adrenaline, for example bungee jumping ( say it's different bungee jumping, ie. the bungee jumping site have 5% chance to die as a fact ). And this is what I'm talking about, not if you like to ride in roller-coaster. I think the latter we all love it from time to time.

Are these guys could convert adrenaline as excitement? ?

I mean the current state-of-affairs. I am beginning to wonder whether feminism has done women as many favours as we might at first think. For example, the death of manners is almost intrinsically linked to feminism - most men don't give up their seats or hold the door for a woman any more and some don't even feel the need to modify their language or treat women nicely.

Also, there is a tendency now for women to feel like they 'have' to have a career. They are also compelled to go out to work rather than look after their children if they so choose.

I'm not suggesting that feminism wasn't great in many ways - equal pay for equal work or Child Support, for example, but do you think that, in many ways, it has made life much harder for women nowadays?

might assume that feminism was funded spearheaded and led by women. Is that true, or are actually men at the very top of feminism, shedding out the money and telling selected women what to do ?

I had an arguement with my sister, so when I left in the morning I had a rude face on or an angry face. My co-workers noticed this and thought I was being rude to them. I heard them say "oh I hate that guy." I never said a word to them, I mean jsut because someone looks pissed off dosen't mean they are angry with the person they're with. I remember back in high school, I used to do the same thing a girl was pissed off about breaking up with her boyfriend, i assumed with the look on her face she was pissed at me. I later found out I was wrong, why do you think people are like that? Is it because they are paranoid people make fun of them or hate them when they're really not?
