Social Science - 3 October 2007

People have individually attached in several kinds of attachment not only the materials: money, car, brand names but also subjectives: fame, ambition or even kindness. All attachments are the cause of suffering. Which one is the most? For me, I have a problem about competition. I hardly accept to lose; in the past I tried to beat every enemy and competitor. But now I realize this is the suffering path because it evokes some evils such as jealousy, anger, desires, and other negative minds, and accept to be the loser.

They want women to stay home and look after children and house. If there is a divorce they don't want to pay child support or alimony despite the fact the woman has devoted her life to being a SAHM.
They want custody of said children of this union because this is the males rights.
Something certainly points to inequality in this movement wouldn't you say?

I have this recurring dream that a childhood friend of mine (who is living in the US for 12 yrs now and who used to be my former crush) has finally arrived/ visited the country. In the dream, I always arrive in a party or gathering where he will be there but he won't talk to me or ignore me.

We chatted a year ago after 12 years of no communication but all of a sudden he stopped talking to me. We don't have any communication right now because he even ignores my email messages. Now, I'm having this dreams about him and I don't know why. I want to know the meaning of that dream... can u please help me interpret this dream?

If you are accused, and you deny the crime, and even pass a lie detector test, and the court convicts you...afterward they insist you admit to the crime. Their thinking is that if you don't admit to it then you are in denial and will not be able to be cured. The counselors, attorneys, and judges say that all guilty people deny their crimes....so does that mean all innocent people admit to their crimes? Does anyone here have an idea of how to figure out how to deal with this kind of thinking? After all, it is the thinking of the American Justice and Correctional Systems.

It always surrounds me lost outside somewhere and all the people I'm with (usually family members) are gone and I can't find them or they've just up and left me in the middle of an unfamiliar place. Usually my purse is gone or lost so I have no keys to my car or money to call a cab or make a phone call. If I do find my car keys I start looking for my car. I walk for blocks and can't find it or its gone. I start thinking I will have to beg for money to make a phone call and I may not get any help so I'm so afraid of the unknown. I feel very scared and alone, like I won't find my way back. I've had this dream several times over the last 5 years. I wonder why it is recurring.

I was having a lucid dream last night, and while I was enjoying the interesting experience of walking in the air, jumping off a cliff and landing softly on my feet -- I was getting bored of it and wanted to leave the dream. But I couldn't. I tried to scream, and I couldn't. I was stuck inside of my dream.

I tried to say to myself, "WAKE UP!!!!!" but that didn't do anything. I tried to think about my body laying in bed and tried to move. That didn't work either.

I started to get very frustrated because I wanted to leave my dream but I couldn't.

Do you guys have any suggestions? I hope that someday I don't get permanently stuck in one of these lucid dreams!

I am not pretty. (I'm female) Lots of people tell me I'm completely plain. Some even said my face is ugly. I hardly have any curve in my body and my breasts are small (A cup) I carry more fat in my waist than in my hips (Yuck! belly fat is so gross. it's gorgeous to carry fat in the butt, hips, and thighs) I am a total mental case now. Should I think of myself as neither male or female- because no guys like me and whenever I try to act sexy- guys insult me and they call me ugly? People are cruel you know. I have violent thoughts about this and I repress them so I won't start killing them.

This is my second question today, because i've been thinking about this so much lately, though it's not healthy :(. Anyway, I know that I've never been very quick to judge someone. If they do or say something awful, then i might, but otherwise, I've always known that ppl are different, so disliking someone simply because they don't match a certain standard is kind of odd in my opinion. I just want to understand this better, because I often blame myself when ppl pick on me. I don't judge them, so why are they being like that?

My other question is: is it possible that a "bad vibe" from someone might just be jealousy or fear of competition with them because you sub-consciously feel that they might be better than you? Maybe an ego-threat?

I appreciate any answers, thanku

This evening I went to a meeting.
Key note speaker was a pastor from Zimbabwe.
He spoke of the anguish he felt for his fellow countrymen.
Of him having a knock on his door at midnight from a man whose wife was about to give birth and he couldn't get her to the hospital as he had no fuel for his car.
Of him going to a home where the family of 4 children were sick because they had not eaten anything for 2 days as there is nothing to eat.
Of him standing all day in a queue for bread only to discover there was none-this happens on a daily basis.
Forgive me for posting this question on this forum but it is the only one I post on.
So what can we do??
Maybe rather than ask banal questions, we are bright as individuals, we could do something to affect change.
Americans, you are soon to have an election and it appears that we in The UK are. Let's do something positive and put the power of The Internet to some good use.
Not preaching- just moved by the plight of this nation.

I'm 23 and I'm a horn dog, but it seems like no one else I know is. I lost my virginity when I was 17 and have been sex crazy ever since. Some guys I have met are actually turned off by what they call my "freakiness". lol no joke.

Another thing, it seems when a girl is into sex a lot...that she can't be smart as well. I hate this stereotype. I love guys, i love sex, and I love school/learning/working and being independent. Why can't all these things work hand in hand?

Also, where can I meet more attractive/outgoing/fun female friends? My friends are just ...well they are very sweet...but very conservative and plain, and that's probably another reason I always get labeled as the "wild" one.

Is my behavior destructive? Or, am i the way i am, because I grew up without a father? I know i'm paranoid...but...people have reasons for all types of behavior these days! Help! Thanks. :)

i know for a fact that i'm not pretty, but i've had some experiences where a guy on the street just tells me that i'm beautiful. i always have a feeling that they're lying to me, but then i think...why would they lie to someone they don't know? so if someone said that you, would you think that he was hitting on you, paying you a compliment, or lying for the fun of it?

I'm just curious as to what some of you might think this dream means.

Here is the dream. In your mind picture a color. (the color for me was normally blue) Then a black blob appears in the center (like dropping ink on paper). This black starts shooting out in all directions beginning to cover up all the blue. Right before the black had covered up all the blue I would wake up screaming. There was never any variation it was always the same dream.

I had this dream over and over again until I was approx. 10 or so and then it just stopped.

Any ideas as to the meaning?
