Everyone eventually dies. However, one can live in on the thoughts of people for really the rest of enternity if one does great things. Great things help the world, and make the great thing doer obviously very proud of him/herself. It also usually includes fame, power, wealth, etc. Why doesnt everyone want to change the world? Why doesnt everyone want to do great things to help the world, and be talked about forever?

Okay my major problem when I go shopping is that I buy things on an impulse and then when I get home I regret making the purchase. The thing is though everything that I tend to buy on impulse I can afford. These conditions really started to take effect when I begin making my own money and spending it. Is this suppose to be a natural feeling that people get when they shop? For example the other day I bought this nice watch from a department store. I looked at once and quickly bought it with out any question and it was on sale. When I got home though I had a major case of buyer's remorse and returned the watch that day. Is there anyway to cure this condition?

I am interested in increasing my ability to process and learn new information,retain old information I wish to. As well as view everything thorough a broader perspective - as I am a college student and want to be the best professional that I can be. Dose anybody know much about this?

Please, Only serious responses! Don't bother to answer if you are going to make some rude comment about me. If this is to broad of a question let me know and I will divide it into a couple more specific questions. Looking forward to what you come up with. Jonny.

In the famous 1961 "Milgram Experiment", test subjects were told by an authority figure to torture a fellow test subject. Two thirds of those told to do so, did so even after the other person pleaded them to stop.

"Primetime" and SCU recreated the "Milgram Experiment", using women as the test subjects. Would the gentler gender be more sympathetic ?

If you were told to torture someone by your boss, employer, superior, or by your government, would you ?

why do some abusers take out their anger and humiliate one child, but can have a good relationship with their other children, causing a "family scapegoat" kind of situation?

This is one sick Acheint Roman practice that still gets me. I under stand the pactice of it, what it is, but what would drive a culture to accept a practice that they had to understand was discusting, unhealthy, and not a pleasent thing to do.

The Roman practice of having enormous parties, where dinners
ranged anywhere from three to ten courses. Guests, reclining
in couches, gorged themselves on delicacies. Once full,
wealthy Romans would retreat to the vomitorium to induce
vomiting and rejoin the party to continue eating.

People just tell what you think of the Roman practice!

My Dad says that a guy can never truly be friends with a girl without having intentions of becoming more than friends. Even if the girl is too imature or unavailable or too young, he just puts her on the back burner so that he can get her when she's older or when she breaks up with the person she's with so he can "be there for her." Is this true?

I am 25 and have 2 children (6 & 1), people seem to either look at me in disgust as if to say"there's a double baby bonus" or act like I am invisable! I know other mothers 20+ who get the same treatment. The thing is I dress my kids and myself very neatly and conservatively fashionable, own a home in a popular middle-class suburb, a modern car, and have a husband who works hard as an engineer to support us, while I have returned to studies as a law student. People see me and assume I am single and on welfare and that I do not own a car( forget a home) or have any goals. Obviously I do not CARE about what people think but I am very curious to know what you think when you see someone like me and why you think it?

A lot of times, I have trouble figuring out what I am actually feeling. Sometimes I feel depressed, but then I ask myself, am I depressed or just worried? A lot of times, I really have no idea what I am truly feeling.

Also, and I think this connects with this, I have trouble cheering people up. Sometimes I think it has to do with my inability to define emotion in other people. It is mostly because I just do not know what to do in a situation when someone is feeling down. I don't know what to say when someone is having trouble with his/her girl/boyfriend, etc. Does this have to do with my inability to define emotion? And how do I figure out what to do in these situations?

Do these things just simply take practice? I've been trying to figure these things out for years now, and have been paying more attention than I can afford on these things the past few months, and it doesn't seem to be working very well.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Lately, I find myself jealous of the types of lives men are allowed to lead. Also I am jealous of the friendships that they have with each other and the way their personalities work. I am also jealous of the brawn they possess. As a female, I have to be extra careful whenever I leave my house and it is just not fair!!! Am I the only one that feels this way or is it just me? Maybe it's a phase?

I don't care that people die in wars. I don't care about famines. I don't *emtionally* care about the fate of anyone who I don't know personally - and even then I mostly feel uncomfortable about how it will effect me and what I should do and how I should respond and not about the other persons suffering.

And then totally randomly some day I will totally get into other peoples pain, except I think I might romanticise it a bit when I do that.

But in my whole life I don't think I have ever felt angry at injustice except when it was totally person for insance.

I know to get rid of ego, I need to meditate, get busy, etc. But I already have came to the stage where i don't have any ego. However, every now and then, I develop it when I have happiness in a streak. I guess what I am asking is that is there a check up I can do to see weather I have ego? You know like symptoms of it?

I have social anxiety disorder and it makes me really awkward and shy around other people and people think I'm immature and when I keep to myself I worry people think I don't like them but I'm just terrified. I don't want to impose my problems on them but I don't know if maybe they might stop treating me like I'm immature but I don't know they don't respect me so I don't think they'll ever stop.
