in other words, why can't we be satisfied? Why do Americans need the "best." Some people in Africa live only in a hut and are poor but they are satisfied and don't complain. What gives?

Yesterday my dad told me & my mum that every night he has like visions of death and corpses laid in coffins. He said hes seen my mum, my brother, our dog and his dad in seperate visions all in coffins dead but hes not seen me and his mum. I have a feeling this is because he is not as close to us. But he says he can't avoid thinking about it because its subconcious and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what the cause could be or some explanation? It sounds really weird to me so thought I'd ask about it as you guys are all helpful. Also a neighbour who lived near to us died recently and he had a vision of her laid in a coffin yet he never even saw her coffin. it freaked me out.

are happy and enjoying themselves, and have never been through what youve suffered....how do you not feel angry and bitter towards people because of that?

ie: if you became an actor or performer.


or if you had a horrible or abusive upbringing...could it have a positive impact in separating what happened in the past..from the person you are now in the present?

what are the main reasons for people choosing to change their name?

Wow,...I am not used to this. please be patient with me. I am 3 years out of a divorce and I can't seem to get my leggs back under me and focused on the future. This concerns me ALOT! Prior to the divorce, I was a goal setting machine! I can make anything happen! my beliefs in self was about 150% above normal. Not ego out of control, beliefs in myself,...... now I can't find a WHY to create a desire. I built my businesses on the premise that i was doing something for my wife and 3 children. After 13 yrs of marriage my ex wife fell into the trap of perscription pain killers and alcohol. I totally get the dependance and I forgive her for those issues. I am having a hard time with the way she uses my children against me in retaliation and I would bet most people would. I want to move on. I just sit and think at times and i can't get past this.

Do most people blame others for their own character flaws. Like, if someone was too nosy, would they most likely blame someone else for being too nosy?

okay- this means that the less "perfect" you percieve yourself to be, the more productive you are? So that means that person who think they are less "perfect" are more productive and give you average performance while people who think they are more "perfect" will probably procrastinate and will also give you average performance of a task? So, to be the most successful in life, you must think of yourself as very "unperfect" but strive for perfection when completing a task?

I've been talking to my ex-girlfriend online for months. The affection I have for her never left. I'm dating someone else now and she is extremely jealous. I don't know what (or if) to tell her. These email could turn out to be nothing.

Okay, so I am thirteen, and I am kind of scared. Is this worth telling my parents?

I finally got to sleep last night, and while I was sleeping, I started shaking really bad and really fast. I was freaking out. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. I tried to yell for my parents, but it was like I wasn't letting my voice go through. It scared me to death. I am looking back on it now, and I am still scared to death to go back to sleep. Is this worth mentioning to my parents? Or is it just stupid?

FACT: Fifty Percent (50%) of ALL MARRIAGES END IN DIVORCE. Wheather you marry your girlfriend / boyfriend after dating him or her for 3 years or for 3 days makes NO DIFFERENCE! Still the probability that your marriage will succeed will be no higher then 50%. Therefor if you and I met; on the first day will go out to dinner! on the second day we will go to the beach and on the third day we will not go out any where because as soo as I see you I will get on my knees and ask you to Marry Me!

What are the principle schools of thought? What are the most researched areas? Who are the big names and what are they saying?

I feel that I've been overly blessed. That some angel has accidently spilled blessings, and I was the lucky one below. I've had a great life, no illnesses, am content with what I have and seek no greater thrill than reading before bedtime. I have no debt, desire nothing I can't pay cash for, and know that the best is ahead for me. I look around and see so much suffering, most of it voluntary. I just be quiet, and re-feel my great luck, over and over again.
