Cultures & Groups - 19 September 2007

The current Readers Digest had a good article on the power of being thankful for what we have in our lives, and how despite the difficulties of any particular day, month, year, if we concentrate on the beauty and goodness around us, and actively be grateful for what we have, we make a major impact not only on ourselves but others around us. The studies pointed out some very good points. A link to the article follows. So, when life really sucks for you, do you dwell in it or do you purposely look for the things in you life for which you're thankful?

I am so sick of people disrespecting their own race because of bad experiences. Example, I have had black men tell me that they date white women because they have no drama and they will do "anything"???? Ok first of all, most have people regardless of race have experienced some drama in their life whether it be major or minor. I have dated outside of my race but would never disrespect my own. Most people have been in bad relationships(I say most because the divorce rate is at 50%). I have had bad experiences(relationships) with black men, Latino men and white men and guess what? It was all the same BS that women hate! Lying and cheating! So again, what does race have to do with it? Nothing! A message to white, Latina, Asian and every non-black/African American females: don't ever date anyone who is pretty much with you because of you skin color or hair texture...you get me? Date a man that will respect and love YOU for YOU.

I was led to a site on childhood beliefs. Example: I used to believe that "help wanted" signs meant that someone had robbed the store very recently and needed help trying to catch the thief.

So I wonder, what things did you believe as a child?

Here is the site if you want to see more: http://www.iusedtobelieve.com/animals/

Personally I don't understand how anyone has a right to tell other people how they should live unless they are something like a drug addict and trying to help the person overcome their addiction. I am a straight married woman with 2 kids. So because I chose a differnt lifestyle than a gay/lesbian marraige, does that make it right for me or anyone to dictate to gay/lesbian people how they should run their lives? To define what marraige constitutes? NO! They have a right to marry just as anyone would and to those people that say "Well if we allow this, we might as well allow people to marry their pets" I got one thing to say to that! Open your freaking brain a little and use some common sense! What do you all think?

colours in this world are associated with various shades of life... white for peace...black for darkness...etc etc
but for humans.... pink is accepted worldwide as a firlish colour...something which is quite common in cultures.
Why? it is also associated with love like red..but as a romantic one . can anyone explain this ...?
tickle your creative side...
