Society & Culture - 2 August 2006

So many times we focus on the "have nots" and "I don'ts" that we tend to overlook the blessings that are really ours. Have you taken the time this week to realize your blessings and what are really important to you? (Is the glass half empty or half full? Mine is brimming over!)
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I keep saying to myslef 'No one will like me' as I keep having flash backs of a lot of wrong I did a few yeara ago (got drunk, did drugs, obsessed a lot about an ex, went to court etc). I keep calling myself what I use to call my father and I now automatically say to myself 'Die Bastard' to myself. These phrases happen automatically..so dunno if this is a conditioned response to me reacting to my past or whether these are voices in my head. I do not want to make friends as I think people will not like me ..how can anyone like me if they knew all the stuff I did? My sister over dosed a few yrs ago and she also heard voices saying she must die. She was not diagnosed with any mental health problem.

Many people believe that when you reach the first stage of successful meditation, you might be able to visualize metaphysical elements. What kind of realizations occur at that time, I would love to have real examples, if any?

In conversation one day I mentioned that I hadn't seen a certain person for quite sometime. (Mistake No.1.)
The answer was "No - she's been to London for three months to try and find herself"
I asked why London? and why did she think she might be located there, and not in Slough/Purley/Sedgefield etc. Had she found herself and was it by the same person that was looking for her?
Answers I got none.
Its your turn to amuse yourselves now - usual rules - wit appreciated and not too serious.

"We are non-violent with those who are non-violent with us"-Malcom x

Well Mr.X allow me to add this one "We are peacful with those who are peacful with us...and viceversa"

"They made us hate oursleves and hate each other" thatz what i keep hearing young brothers and sisters in the ghetto say....

Let me tell u something brothers and i'm part of your family as we are all brothers..I know that livin in the ghetto is like tasting hell..but we cant just say"Ok those white folks are racist and they dont give us our rights...screw them"...i believe that there are still racists but that dosent mean we cant work hard to get the hell out of this mess "ghetto" work hard and take a look around us..the world is full of opportunities and good luck..if u worked hard.

I think thatz a wrong way to express our selves which is "rappin".We keep on swearing and insulting the cops without no damn results...we can work hard and get a better life than just rappin.

Peace...

Is it really necessary to seek God out, and see Him just as each of us would like to? And suppose if we do find Him what would we say? Wouldn’t we be asking for what we already have but do not know because we do not believe? I think if we know faith in our heart then we should just believe that God exists and His existence is not, as it cannot be, for just our understanding.

I'm not referring to actual bisexual people here... but it seems like these days, more women than not identify as bisexual. As a heterosexual man I'm not complaining about that, but I wonder how genuine this is. Can sexuality be trendy? Are women actually more inherently bisexual than men, as I once thought?

I dunno, I'm so bored of seemingly every other woman you meet claiming to be into other women... just for status or acceptibility in today's culture, or whatever it is. Are they doing it just to satisfy their man's fantasies? Most of us do find it a turn on, yes, but only if it's genuine.
These women probably piss off actual bi and lesbian women too!

If God exists, then he's a bit useless. Let me explain. If he sees all the bad things going on (as we are led to believe) and doesn't help, that means he is uncaring. If he sees and can't help, he's not all powerfull. If he can't see, then he's not omnipotent. Arguments please.
