I live in a big city. I am fully aware that I will never encounter a larage cat of any kind here--- never mind get killed by one. When I'm walking by a bunch of trees or bushes I irrationally panic and convince myself that there is a tiger or lion or other large cat ready to pounce on me. Sometimes it even gets so bad that I convince myself that these big cats are in my home so I lock myself in a small room where I can see everything in front of me. This is truely pathetic, but when I get in those mental states I feel like it is legitimate. A lot of my fear has to do with the fact that tigers and lions bite the necks of their prey to kill them and that jaguars bite through their preys skull. I also convince myself that these wild cats could be in a city setting by escaping captivity. What in the name of God can I do. This is taking over my mind. I know how ridiculous this is, but I can't help it. It's not bears or sharks or anything. It's large wild cats. WTF. What can I do for help???

There are many types of people on earth. There are many people you've met personally too.

Some people, usually the elderly, become notable for their wisdom. Most cultures have people who are considered wise. They are revered and honored. Sometimes age is not the reason. There are young people who seem to be well grounded and are able to see "the whole picture."

I can't really say that about the US where I live. Many times the eldely relative is shuttled off to a nursing home when it becomes inconvenient for the adult children to take care of them. I'M NOT SAYING EVERYBODY, just "some."

So, at what point, would you say, do people become respected within their milieu for their wisdom and the good advice they offer freely?

One more tiny question: Who do YOU consider "wise?"

Please argue atheism vs Christianity in the other 492938 questions in this topic. I am not interested in any explanations of "you only need faith" or any of the sort. Just a Yes or No with preferably a reliable source (hopefully from a Peer-reviewed journal) cited

Im in college and I live in a suite w/ 3 rms. I recently asked one of my suitemates who lives in the other room if I could borrow one of her textbooks from a class we're both in for 5 minutes. She said,"Hey, since Im letting you borrow my book, can you treat me to a meal." I said "ok, how much?" Any logical person would ask how much. She said, "I dont know."(we were outside) So I proceeded to say,"Oh I could of paid for the two soups that you just bought." (2 Soups = $4.50ish) SHe goes on to say, "Oh know, I meant when Michelle is here to." I was like, "I have to buy a meal for your sister too" She was like "We share our food." So, i was like thinking, what the heck is the difference, basically she wants me to treat her and her sister to a huge meal,so i can borrow her damn book for 5 minutes.When we walked back to the suite,I told her "Forget it, Ill just borrow it from the library."Also, her sis previously borrowed 2 of my books for like a whole day & i didnt act like a b**.

They are trying to drive me to suicide and laughing about it. A small group a person who disliked me is friends with. They won't leave me alone and are playing 'tricks' on me. I did not know this at first, I found out and then overheard them saying they want to drive me to suicide. One of them in the group will jest to me ''if i have commited suicide yet?'' The one will say to me 'I was really worried about you, i was sure hoping you havent commited suicide and laughs.'

The other one loosely threatened me and told me they wished i was dead. I feel like im being terrorized. What I want to know is what could possibly drive a small group to do this kind of thing when only one in the group has something personal against me? Is it possible for one person to influence others in such a way as to cause them to behave this way to someone they don't know? Or are they all sick and what do they gain from this?

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress emphasizes the importance of stories and literature in everyday life. There are many instances where the main characters undergo change as a result of contact with media. Therefore, stories influence our lives because they inspire the motivation to change. Being able to adapt to a changing situation is necessary for success. Such can be obtained through literature. Getting an early start reading books will increase the chances of success later on in life. Perhaps that is why impoverished children are crippled for life; they have a lack of literature. Society’s next move should be to educate the homeless and poor to be productive members of society. If everyone on our Earth had the ability contributed one positive thing to society, the world would be a better place.

I commute to college too, so I feel like I didn't get the "true" college experience with dorm life and such...and the past 6 years just passed me by with many things that I "should have, could have, or would have done" so sad...any experiences similar?
