When we were kids,we made no big deal about calling a fatty a fatty. Do you still feel the same way inside today as an adult?

It's just uncomprehensible.

When I'm hurt, I hold it in and not show it. I don't communicate the anger b/c it shows vulnerability and possibly low self-esteem. Then later I get even by consistently being hostile and insulting. Friendships don't last very long as a result. How can I learn to deal in hurtful or angry situations?

I was wondering if someone could try to explain this recurring dream to me. I've had variations of it but the same theme, like 3 times in the last month.

Basically I graduated high school in June, but I have the dream that graduation was just for show and we have to go back a for while longer, like I was just getting over it and now I have to go back for a while. Can anyone explain it?

Guy was 30, separated and had 2 small children. I was 28, very naive and bored at the time. This guy would follow me around everywhere, buy me gifts and take all my insults. I justified my meanness as "this is what I'm worth? a pathetic loser w/baggage? this is the best that's out there for me? how come cool normal guys aren't following me around?" There's obviously something wrong w/me? Can I have some analysis, please?

People from Africa have black skin, and people from Europe have fair skin

Science: The colour "Black" aborbs the heat, and "white" reflects heat.
==
so you would expect Africans to have white skin, and the Europeans to have dark skin.
If Europeans had dark skin, then they could aborb the heat more easily.
And if Aficans had white skin they would not absorb the heat so easily.
I am looking for scientific references, or logical reasons why the skin colour is black for Africans.
No rascist bigotry please.
Thanks

It has been proven time and time again in history that emotions can give a negative outcome to a lot of scenerios, i.e. wars, politics, religion, etc. So, why do we choose emotions over logic to make decisions in our daily lives? Yes, we are all human, however, if we are smart enough to build buildings,make mathmatical equations, and go into space, why can't we control our emotions? Is it choice or is it an uncontrollable part of humanity?

Is it that we cry because we can't control our emotions or that we have to have others see us cry for attention?

why do I always lose myself when I fall for somebody? It;s like I let everything in my life come to a halt and let images of "him" take over my head. Why is that and how can I stop being like this?

It is so hard and very debilitating.

If you're fear of something, but whatever the outcome is, your life will not be threatened. Therefore, what is the purpose of fear? There is no need to, right?

I had another dream, unrelated to the first one I posted, some nights ago.
My parents were having a barbecue, and had invited some of my friends. Suddenly one of my guy friends came up to me holding a yellow snake, and there was another one just like it at my feet. Both of them bit me at the same time on each of my legs, and then I couldn't feel my legs. I was stumbling around, trying to ignore the venom, when finally I could not, and I asked to be taken to the hospital, but no one seemed to be listening.
It was kind of distressing.
Can someone interpret this? Thanks in advance.

I've just been in the shed to get my sunlounger out and there are like five thousand million webs in there. Plus there was webs all over my lounger and I just kept thinking a spider was gonna jump out at me or land on my head. I have since recovered you'll be pleased to know!! Why are spiders so scary to many people? I think it's cos they run fast and you never know where they're gonna be and they look a bit creepy too. I would never kill or hurt one cos I love all living creatures and I know they do a good job eating the flies.

Osho says that anger simply shows that you have great energy...... "A man without anger is impotent, he has no energy. A man who cannot be angry cannot be gentle either."

Ive tried to get myself to a place where I dont feel angry any more. I dont like feeling angry, I want to feel peaceful & for the vast majority of the time I do feel very peaceful.
I avoid listening to 'whats going on in the world' because it stirs up feelings of anger & sadness inside. If someone tries to argue with me they're just wasting their time, they won't get anything back.

How do you feel about feeling angry & being angry? Do you try to avoid it & turn the other cheek? or welcome it with open arms?
