what do you think is ment in this passage, especially if it is to be taken liturally?

"When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!'. Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!’" (Jn 19:26-27).

I have always since just as a little boy imagining that my thoughts started from my head(of course they do its really the brain that creates thought), perhaps because the perceived world seems to end right at the eyes, and anything behind the eyes is the perceiver, but I am sure that my sense of thought origination was not due to current science but just raw intuition. In light of the fact that ancient people believed that thought originated from the heart, I am interested if anyone has any information on how this idea was generated but more importantly whether this conflict about the feeling that thought starts from the head is not just an illusion created to fit the current knowledge that we have now or not. Any information would help!

It has been around throughout history and still is there today. Can anyone explain why it is there in modern times?

My parents can't afford the things I got this year. Well, my dad's company filed bankrupcy and he was out of a job, my mom's in college and doesn't have a job so we don't have insurance. We can't get the COBRA insurance because of how the company laid off all of the workers.
I got a 200 dollar digital camera and my brother got a PSP (expensive). That's about 400 dollars, no including all of the other stuff. I just don't understand. We don't have the money, we can't get a loan, and I don't get it. I just don't understand. How could they afford this? I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore, I want to but I just don't. Stupid school made me think everything had to have a logical reasoning and I've never looked back, honestly. Either way, we can't afford it but I got it.

How is this possible?

here's the thing, we've been dating for more that a year already. But the last couple of months, was more than hell. So last week, i have decided to end the whole thing. i gave her a ring as my gift to her and a letter which explained it all.. that i need to be away and all so that i can think, move on and all that stuff. Still, im crazy about her and think about her every day. I love her so much..
Now, just to tell you why i did that break up thing? here's the story and i hope i can make this concise. Just a few months ago, she accepted a job abroad. and she comes home every month and JUST stays here for a WEEK but sometimes it would take her 2months before she can come home and with that week, i can only see her 3 times with just 4-5hours at most. Now, like every other long-distance rel, we ended up having fights and finally, i broke up with her. But then after that, when she comes home, we still kinda do that date thing and all. Like friends with benefits as what others call it.

We had heavy winds last night. The wind blew down a small section of our backyard fence by the gate. I noticed it was like that this morning and all our bikes were still there, but this afternoon one of our bikes we already missing. We live in a decent neighborhood with only a few undesirable neghbors. Not on a busy street either.
What makes a person think that just because a piece of fence fell down, they can take stuff out of our yard ?

Christians phychotrist: says maybe there is no God? you have prayed for so long and no answer.
Mom: the Lord is not there for you I know you have tried so hard to find him.
Brothers: as they mock me, you are wasting your life seeking after God. God just does not hand things to you because you pray. I thought you were going to have children? you are getting old. "I" snap back, I can not be like you, and breed. heaven is where my heart is, if she is not there I can not mate. I can not be like you.
Pastor #1: you need medication, even one as I take medication as the pastor says. You can not just use faith.
Pastor #2: I am the truth, not you praying to God and reciveing answers.(this is real) WE NEED A CROSS. We are all dammed. Next week he preach's how we should always go to God in prayer. (sounds stupid to me anyway)
Lots of Christians. Medication is the way the truth and the light. When it comes to the real thing, they run to what is safest.
