For example, do women change the same way as other women, different from men?

How about older people vs younger people?

I dreamed there was this little girl who was spiritually intune. She is someone who can see ghosts, etc. and believes there is a god, however she does not belong to a religion. Well, for some reason or another, she was on top of a water fall, with very jagged rocks below her, but not going all the way down. After the jagged rocks is nothing but water falling. This waterfall was extremely high. I can see her from a distance. I'm on a boulder off the river or lake where the water falls. Anyway, this girl is falling through the jagged rocks of the water fall, and she is falling without any fear, and it's because she has so much faith. She survived the fall, and it's like she survived because of her faith. As if she survived, only because she knew she would, you know what I mean? But she only knew she would survive, because she knew that she was being watched over. Anyway, I was wondering if any out there could explain this to me...

PS, I don't believe in ghosts or God...

Okay, picture the most attractive blue or green eyed female you know (actress, model, relative, whatever).Personality aside.
Now picture her exactly the same but with brown eyes. Is she any less or more attractive??

Here's one of mine: Men and Ladies, you can shave your legs or face with hair conditioner instead of shave cream. Great for traveling.
What's yours?

Why do people leave stupid and rude answers to people with real questions? Don't they have a life?
I know lots of people leave dumb comments to the dream section. How do we get rid of these kinds of people with no lives and just want to put people down to make themselves feel better? Maybe..

I cant help notice how bitter people can be. If you ask for help your told 'do it yourself' Ive noticed it so much on here. Im tryin to figure out were the hatred comes from. Is it becuase our lifes have got so boring and nothing but work that we start showing resentment to people that have got what we want instead of being happy for them? Ideas???

Is the information arriving at the brain different depending on the colour of the eye and does that mean perception is all conventions? I have often noticed that I tend to prefer people as friends who have my eye colour, although in a Freudian tradition I should perhaps be looking for the other? Does eye colour influence the judgement of visual beauty? Is there a sociology of eye colour? Eye colour chauvinism? Does trying to avoid thinking in essentialist patterns mean one should cling as closely as possible to established conventions? Do this kind of essentialism and enlightened thought contradict each other? Are coloured contact lenses meaningful? Do blind people direct their sympathy differently from people who can see?

Last night I had a dream, that I was in a room with two of my friends and the window was opened, and in flew a black bat and it was flying all in the room. We were screaming and trying to open the door so it could fly out, I think there might have been a second bat as well. The bat/s were black. I read the following online: Bats
Awful is the fate of the unfortunate dreamer of this ugly animal.

Sorrows and calamities from hosts of evil work against you. Death of parents and friends, loss of limbs or sight, may follow after a dream of these ghoulish monsters. A white bat is almost a sure sign of death. Often the death of a child follows this dream.

Could it mean anything else? Now I am worried...it might also be that a couple of weeks ago I was watching The Munsters and the grandpa turned into a bat and went into a dorm room where there were these 2 girls,....
but I dont know?

In today's CHristian music, do you think we are sugar coating the truth sometimes? (im a little frustrated with today's Christian songs)



Also, while sharing The Truth with some non Christians and former Christians, do we ourselves sugar coat Christianity?


I mean I'm not saying we should force things down people's throat, cuz thats not what Jesus would want us to do and thats not what he did either when he was around

Buf if we earnestly and genuinely reach out to non Christians and former Christians and share the Truth and leave it at that, don't you think that's enough? It would just light a spark or bring some curiosity

If we just talk to them and pray and let God do his work in them, then I believe we have done our jobs and welcomed another person into our Christian family

I wonder if my life and my families life would be any better if we just picked up and moved out of the country. Of course I would have to study places to go, but if anyone has actually done this I would like to know how and where.

I dreamt that someone had put all kinds of needles in my tongue and that I was scared to talk cause one of them got loose and I almost swallowed it. My daughter started helping me and there was also a small kind of scissors like for cuticles, in and out of my tongues skin also! What could this mean?? I have been going through alot with my ex, fighting him for custody of our two small children. Also recently, my current boyfriend was cheating on me with an 18 year old. I wanted to leave him but Im pregnant and am so confused with all of lifes bringings.... Not only that, but this 18 year old got pregnant too. She has been leaving me some pretty mean texts like "yeah, you wash his clothes but I take them off". Dedicating me some mean cheating songs. Honestly I think she did some voodoo on me cause I have had some pretty bad bad luck lately. I even went to jail.... for 2 weeks!!! Thats how this whole cusotdy thing happened. ANYWAYS SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! WHAT DOES THIS DREAM MEAN??

It's been my observation that the less regulated a capitalist economy, the more it tends to concentrate more and more wealth into fewer and fewer hands. If you picture some kind of enterprise that results in a net gain for someone, then picture this person investing his profit in another enterprise it would seem to me that capital is being concentrated. This scenario being repeated and repeated, the result can only be the establishment of an aristocracy and a proletariat. Of course, it won't be a a straight line, in some cases the business will fail and the investors capital will be scattered. But it will then start collecting again. It seems analogous to the concept of entropy increase. Doesn't this seem to argue for some sort of redistribution of wealth?
I suppose I'd better point out that I am well aware of the fact that a profit motive is important. If a business fails, then the employees have lost a job. But the investor has lost perhaps his "job" plus X dollars. (p

A guy i know is very busy and not a writer but since i can't see him because we live so far away from each other i write him. I just tell him what is going on in my life. I have humor. When i visit the town i go and see him and he seems happy. He never mentions the letters. He always seems happy to see me and never says not to write. What is your view and opinions of this..do men like to get letters from women they like. I know alot of men just don't write and don't really like to ''talk'' about things like a women do. But do they like to hear or read stuff that women like to talk about..i write about everything and anything ..I also mention him..like how i miss certain things about him and so on...I just want to know what men think of this kind of thing.
