Is it really worth helping people!? They seem to just forget 10 minutes later and even when they thank me it doesn't mean they really appreciate what I've done. I started out not wanting anything in return, but there's actually NOTHING given back and I always end up alone, I'd probably just be better off being a dick. Is it really worth helping people and if so why cos I'm really starting to doubt it!

For the last few nights I have been dreaming of a river that I am absolutely afraid of (I'm not scared of water in real life). The water is not muddy but it is dark and even though the sun is out the water doesn't sparkle. There also is a semi-rough current. In the same dream my ex best guy friend is in it (I'm a girl). What could this mean? Does the water have something to do with my feelings for him?

Someone who takes something from someone else, and believes that what they took belongs to them? Or fills the vandal with boosting?
It could be anything as in material items, pride, dignity, hope, and love.

when i was growing up i "sexually matured" alittle earlier than most. I remember little bits of something.. a pull out couch, my uncle in boxers, and a football game. Everytime i get that picture in my mind i am sick to my stomach. I m not sure what happened... I know that i was alone with him, and that i never liked him. I would have dreams growing up of things like a man in boxers touching me and i would wake up crying or not able to breath. .. Not to long ago a cousin of mine (his daughter), who was helping me get through bulemia , told me that her father (now divorced from my family) told her that he has done "bad" things. She wouldnt let me know what it was, but asked me if he ever hurt me. I told her no. I still feel that something happened... but im not sure what to do. The a** worked in a freakin sunday school class with tons of little kids! Are my memories real? Is this way to many things to make it just a bad dream?

I'm a shy person. I always worry about being "presentable" in public ... I'm not a vain person at all, it's just that I worry about small things at the wrong times. I get really nervous in big public areas when I'm being stared at for example. I don't have an anxiety attack or anything, I just feel uncomfortable and don't know how to react.

The husband ought to be the leader and author of love. For the woman is a weak creature, not ensued with the strength and constancy of mind; therefore they be the sooner disquieted, and they be all the more prone to all weak affections and dispositions of mind, more than men be; and lighter they be, and more vain in their fantasies and opinions. She is the weaker vessel, of a frail heart, inconstant, and with a words soon stirred to wrath.

or just denying any claim outside of your own is modern science. It seems many are running it down without seeing or studying the posibilites of any truth

Some of us went into the marriage with the best intentions. However, it didn't work out and we may have gotten an unfavorable outcome from the court system.

I personally am a divorcee. My ex committed adultery multiple times and one of those times was with a close family member. I had to move with my mother thereafter to pay for the house we were living in and my child support for my biological daughter. Shortly after this, I got a vascectomy because I never wanted a child I fathered to be used against me in court. I myself am financially crippled due to it. Due to lack of finances, I have no love life.

I already know many on this forum will say stop whining and that it's the price of a bad choice. I just had to ask the question, though if you had a son: How you women would deal with situation? What if he asked to live with you in his economic hardship?

I will be getting my Master's in August 2008, and am now looking around at doctoral programs. I'm kind of worried because I don't have much research experience. Aside from a small research project in my undergrad years (hardly anything even worth mentioning) and the thesis that I just started, I won't really be bringing much to the table in terms of experience. My advisor simply said "get some research experience." With a full load and a thesis in the works, I'm not really sure how to do that before graduation! Will a completed thesis be enough to be considered (and hopefully accepted) into a PhD (or possible PsyD) program? I appreciate your help!

Yeah, once you're too burnt out emotionally to really feel anything, thats what you are.

As a hospice nurse, my mother tries to give people dignity and comfort in their last days. Terminal illnesses and accidents do terrible things to people's bodies and minds. Should people have the option to end their suffering and go out with a cocktail if they wish? I am talking about lucid people, not the mentally ill, etc.

I understand the religious debate, so please don't bring God into it.

im pretty sure there are more paedophiles than there used to be.. am i right in thinking this? if so, why are there more now than they used to be? what is it about our society thats encouraging this sort of sexual deviation? and are people paedophiles because they just happen to be attracted to children (a bit like straight people just happen to be attracted to the opposite sex and gay people happen to be attracted to the same sex), or is it something different - eg are people attracted to children because they like the ability to rape or dominate or something like that?
thanks

It's almost impossible to get a direct answer as to why human beings seem to think they are god's gift (no religious pun intended!) I spoke to one person who told me that if they had to make a decision between saving a child's life and entire species, he would choose the child. Why is this? What does the child bring to the whole of existence and the universe which apparently has a much greater effect than a species has on an entire ecosystem? It's normal for all species to want to survive and propogate their own, and if your son or daughter approached a pride of lions, he or she would surely have their head torn off, but why, seeing as how intelligent we are, do we proceed to treat all others with such disregard and selfishness? EVEN to members of our own species?

So yes, for once I'd like a clear and concise answer (and I refuse to acknowledge any religious referances, so don't even bother,) as to why we deem ourselves so incredibly important above all others.

I had an odd dream last night I NEVER have bad dream, I mean only like 3 ever in my life and I dream A LOT! In my dream I was with my whole family and we were going to a funeral so we were all dressed in black. I was holding my niece who is 1 but in the dream she was a lot smaller than she is now. I dropped her and she fell on her face on the gravel parking lot. I picked her up and it had really deformed her face and she died. I didn't notice it at first until my family had pointed it out. The dream really scared me since I never have dream like this. What could this mean?
