Have you answered a question here - that brought you to near to tears to write?

Question

Some times you encounter, a question that means more to you than mere points to collect.

Sometimes, the question hits home and it is very personal in some way.

Some people will ignore it, because it touches the very fiber of your soul.

And there are some that truely try to answer to help, they give it their all, to help. In the hope that in some profound way, they are perpetuating the good we hope to see in the world. When we see ugliness sneaking into our lives everyday.

I don't care about the points, or that some other shallow jerk will mock me.

But I think I just stumbled across one of those questions, and totally wasted (did I waste it) two hours to write the answer, at least my answer for it.

* * oh bother,... I feel like an old fart when I wax philosophical,... dang it!!!

** thank you,.. it means a lot, sometimes you never know what you're going to find, sometimes there is something there - out there that only makes us a little better at being human. Not for vanity, but to make our world a little less intimidating and worth living in for each other, despite our petty differences.

Answer 1

it's been a month since i participated in yahoo answers and so far, this is the most meaningful, selfless question that i have stumbled on. i don't cry when asnwering, but i do when i'm reading the question or reading someone else's answer, maybe because i have the same question (or something along that line) and knowing that someone is in pain other than me, and seeing people trying their best to try to help, makes me cry, coz it proves to me that there IS still some goodness left in this world.

kudos to you for that question and kudos to the people who've answered it, you all touched my heart & soul.

i agree with what scooty cat said, u are wonderful. ^_^ yahoo answers needs more people like you!

Answer 2

I did once- a woman asked something like, "How do you cope with finding out that you can't have children"- it was me!!... sort of.

I found out I couldn't have children when I was 18- near the end of my senior year in high school, but I'd wanted to be a mother since I was 3 or so. I'm now 30, been married for 6 and a half years, working on adoption....

I don't even remember how long I took to write my answer, but I was totally in tears. I knew EXACTLY where she was coming from. I knew the pain, the insensitive comments, the sideways looks, the ostracism (feeling not included), etc... I truly had (and still am) "been there, done that."

Answer 3

Yes, sometimes I've come across questions written by children who seem to be living in abusive situations, and my heart breaks. I wish I could do more than just give advise, and I hope they go to someone for help. Also, when some jerk says something inappropriate or mean to a person who is clearly suffering, I wish I could delete that answer. Sometimes I report it, but I'm not sure if that does much.

I haven't spent two hours yet answering a question, but I'm sure that it was something meaningful for you to invest so much of your energy. Thank you for taking important questions seriously.

Answer 4

I've never been quite that stirred by a question. But I do take the time to answer some tough questions, many of which seem very personal to me as well as to the asker -- check my answers to questions in the mental health section for some examples.

I've also taken the time to answer controversial questions (about rehabilitating convicted pedophiles following completion of their sentences, for example) -- many people will attack the asker regardless of their question, or otherwise respond in an over-zealous fashion without providing any real information. I'm not an expert on these subjects but I've been told that my honest, unbiased opinion helps.

Answer 5

No. But I am not a very "emotional" person when it comes to other people's issues... but VERY emotional in my own or similar things. I'm weird like that. I laugh when Leonardo DiCaprio dies in Titanic, I cry on the last day of school, for 5 hours straight, and during Pirates Movie 2 when the dad whips the son.

BACK TO THE QUESTION: Yes, some questions do touch me. Some answerers really do make me smile at how hard they try to help, some make me fume at their vulgar words. Those two hours did not go to waste, I am sure your answer is appreciated. In many ways Answers is like life. God Bless!

Answer 6

Yes, a lot of them have. I try to answer most questions seriously. Only occasionally, do I figure out that someone has been posing and joking.
I think this is a great forum for people to help each other, and learn to be compassionate, and thoughtful. It can be.
It can also be a forum for idiots who think they are shocking people to say "penis." Even that might be helpful to a teen who has no one else to talk to.
The one which really touched me is the young womangirl who said she was in love with her boyfriend of 7 years, who left her for someone else. She was just obsessing over him. Been there! It is so painful to be in love by yourself!
I wish someone had given ME the advice I gave her. I wish I would have listened. The words I wrote to her gave ME strength.
I also really enjoy answering atheist-bashing, dog-training and child-rearing questions.
I should be writing my novel-and I'm addicted to Yahoo. HA

Answer 7

Well, I can't think of one in particular that hits me at the moment but I do love trying to help. I have found that there are a lot of young women out there being disrespected and a great deal of unhappily married women, too many men into porn and young men who appear to be only focused on sex. There is also a lot of religiosity going on and a lack of historical knowledge as well as great comedy and facinating web sites. Those are some observations.

One more...the way you phrased your question was lovely and poetic...that leaves me hope. Please say on line with us...you are greatly needed.. Thanks.

Answer 8

they have found out who they truley are and characteristic long previous racist. Jesus Christ grow to be a black guy. He got here by using Israel, a black usa. God chosen Israel to be the priest to something of something of the sons of Adam. no person else can teach the understand God yet Israel. in case you're no longer Israel and you're coaching the understand God wisely, you have been taught via Israel and you're non secular Israel. The bible says do no longer lean unto your guy or woman information. that's is what you and various others have finished. SOS is a narrative between God and his spouse Israel. God has to grant you the Spirit of information. God has a protocol, and he's the God of each physique, there is an order of issues.

Answer 9

I just answered a question like that tonight! Basically, I read thru stuff and if it grabs me, I try to answer. I guess I get too involved in some questions? But, so what!

Answer 10

Yes, someone asked "Are you afraid to get married" and I cried as I wrote my answer because I realized all the reasons I was afraid. It was a very cathartic moment.
