Social Science - 8 July 2007

I have so many plans that I want to do, but the thing with me is that I lack off alot, and give up easily. Do you guys know of anything that can get me or anyone else commited to what they want to achieve? I mean, for example, commited to finishing this course in this period of time. Or memorizing this in this period of time, and etc.

Thanks

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

The following article, entitled,
"Patient Know Best", appeared in the August 1991 of the Reader's Digest:

"A person's answer to the question, "Is your health excellent, good, fair or poor?"
is a remarkable predictor of who will live or die over the next four years according to new finding.

A study of more than 2800 men and women 65 and older found that those who rate their health 'poor' are four out of five times more likely to die in the next four years than those who rate their health 'excellent.' This was the case even if examinations show the respondancts to be in comparable health.

These findings are supported by a review of five other large studies, totaling 23,000 people, whick reached similar conclusions according to Ellen Idler, a sociologist a Rutgers University, and epidemiologist Stanislav Kasl of Yale university School of Medicine, co-others of the new study."

People that have an image of themselves being in poor health will talk about poor health. Even though they may be in good health, they seem to live out the reality of the image they have of themselves even unto death.

This would confirm Proverbs 18:21, Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

What you believe and speak not only affect your body, but your immune system, cells regeneration from surgery or injuries, and going even farther, the health of your spirit and your mind, even spoiled or dying relationship with others, your far away dreams and hope, and let not leave out our finances IMAGE. Our words of failure or success has become either a blessing or a curse to ourselves..maybe even to others.(if they agree or not with your words)

Children spend excessive time watching violence on television

Children learn aggressive behavior viewing violence on television

Parents can take measurements to prevent children from watching violence on television.

I dreamed 2 anaconda snakes. One didn't let me get out of my house so I was trapped and couldn't go with my parents who were outside the house. The other snake had my dad trapped on the other side of the house so he couldn't come get me. But in the dream the person who was able to get to me was my mom. But my relationship with mom isn't that good.

I don't believe in suicide. That's a wrong thing to do, mostly to family. Sometimes I am walking across a parking lot and wish the car wouldn't stop. I wish it would just run right into me. I don't think people would really miss me all that much. None of my old friends talk to me anymore. Everyone frankly appears to hate me. I feel like I am losing myself to food, and I can't escape it. I have never had a girlfriend. I grew up bullied.

I have never cut myself, or done any harm like that. And I don't plan on ever doing so. But I have made myself throw up before. The only people that seem to really smile at me are infants and young children. I say hi back, but I wonder why the hell they would smile and say hi to such a loser. And I work at worst place on earth. Walmart. And I can not escape it. I have tried to leave 3 or 4 times now, but each time I fail and end up staying. And being there only makes me feel worse.

Does anyone know how to help me get a lil happier?

I keep seeing this question about how dumb women are for thinking they can change men. Do some men think they can change women? Why or why not?

These movies are harmfull!! I am a woman and when I see a movie like this I get very angry and upset. Especially that men enjoy seeing women raped and tortured. Teenage boys love these movies and that's why they have no respect for women!!! Show a movie of bad things happening to men by women and then it will be banned!

Everytime someone makes money, someone else loses money- does that mean that, when some people are very rich, others will necessarily be very poor?

i had the most wonderful dream a few nights ago. it started out real trippy and i couldnt even begin to explain it. at some point me and another person were walking with a man who just had this amaxing power about him. i dont think any of us ever said it but i beleive he was Jesus. ill spare any of the details but it seemed as if it was in the future, and me and my friend were the only ones who seemed to know who he was.
as we walked i had the most wonderful feelings. i was thinking about him and wondering about many things. then i looked at him, while still walking, and asked, "If i was to ask you a question, would you be able to answer it?" but i did not have any real question in mind. i had so many things i would love to ask him. He looked at me and simply said "yes" but in the most beautiful voice and my heart swelled to that of a hotair balloon. it was the most wonderful feeling i have ever felt. He answered every Q i had with that one "yes". i wish i could dream it every night..

I can control myself only when I am fasting, in other days I am like a crazy! If I eat I eat a lot, if I write e-mails I write a lot, if I sit on line I can't stop... The same is with almost everything. What's wrong with me? How can I start finaly controlling what I am doing? I seem to behave totaly spontaneous, I do what I feel and want!
Thank you all,
Maria
