I suspect that the greater the disparity between these 2 figures, the more social discontent.

I have a recurring dream where I'm in a very small room and it's grey and the only light is a swinging lightbulb. Then I hear evil voices all around me of demons or something that want to kidnap me and drain me of some sort of power. Out of nowhere I scream and I jump high. I turn into this burst of yellow light and see the demon things and they burn up. Then I see each part of me burst with light. Then I wake up. I've had this dream at least 12 times now so I think it means something. What does it mean? (P.S. I'm a former Wiccan, now a Christian, I don't believe in astrology, and I've gone to counselling.)

Some days I feel like I'm in a fog and on these days I have a headache usually. Sometimes I catch myself in a staring or not remembering words when I'm trying to talk, but I hear and see around me as its happening. I only pause a few seconds.
Sometimes when this happens my right had drops what I'm holding.
I'm aware of this, but I wonder if I just un focused and change my thoughts however, I come back to what I was thinking or doing without confusion.

I hate to see a doc cause they always want to put you on medication.
What do you think?

I just feel so angry all of the time - and I really don't know what to do about it all. I have rage that keeps emerging for the most minor things - spilling a drink, misplacing my keys etc.

I feel especially angry at my own mother. Last year there was a fight in the family, and though it sounds melodramatic it feels as if she did her utmost to pin the blame on me, and put me in a position where I couldn't fight my own corner.

But rage bubbles everyhwere else too - if I see a TV character treated with injustice, for example, I start to ket really upset and angry about it all. But I have other strange tendencies: I have these bizarre dramatic fantasies, where I'm centre of attention and sympathy, or I'm physically fighting someone else.

I get so tearful all the time, and I feel angry at myself for not doing work done - work which I dread doing, because I fear I'll find out I'm not capable of it. And then that makes procrastination worse. I feel like punching a wall.

Help.

Why is it that the answers that contain nothing but facts offend people more than the answers containing opinions? Not just in my answers, but other answers as well. Same is true in everyday conversation. When did reality become taboo?

I have a coworker whose father died a few days ago. Even though she seems upset sometimes, I kind of wonder about certain behaviors of hers. For instance, our boss's aunt was kind enough to make a beautiful arrangement of fresh roses and tiger lilies for her father's funeral. However, my coworker thought that the flowers were so pretty that she decided to keep them for herself! Not only that, but she even offered each of us a flower or two from the arrangement. I don't know what it's like to lose a parent and I know that everyone grieves differently, but I can't help but think that if I had lost a parent, I wouldn't be in the mood to give away flowers. Not only that, but I almost feel that it's somewhat disrespectful to the boss's aunt for my coworker to keep the flowers that were given to her as a gift for her father's funeral and then give away some of them! What do you think?

So, this is entirely hypothetical, of course, but does it makes sense in an evolutionary context?

You know what really bothers me? The corner that we live on is notorious for accidents. It happens on a regular basis. Because of that, I am regularly exposed to the phenomena that is a small town with nothing better to do. Everytime there is an accident on this corner, rather than go about their business, it seems the whole town flocks to the scene, and sits around watching what happens, be it bodies dragged from the wreckage, or arguments between drivers, ambulances at the scene, whatever. People of all ages come (and bring their kids and families) to watch the happenings of it all as the events unfold. It's like you see a whole family, wife, kids, dog, all sitting there with their lawn chairs (dragged from three blocks away) with a bucket of chicken and a bowl of popcorn watching the action!

Is it just me, or is this ridiculous? Your thoughts...?

When does life actually start in an human embryo?

How do women feel about extinguishing a life in their womb in the name of their rights to their body??

As an adult is there any accountibility for a woman who indulged in consensual sex and then extinguished a life which has no way of fighting for its claim to life???

In the end if a life is indeed extinguished then ethically or in terms of humanity is that homicide,murder or not???

Over the past few weeks I keep dreaming that I am chasing someone I love.

The dream is quite often very differen't each time. The situation and the way in which I'm chasing the person or the reason for my chasing them changes each time. But, it's always the same person, I'm always chasing them, and I never catch up.

Does anybody have any idea what this means??
