Answer 1

Good observation,....truthfull, honest, and well taken,....put a *STAR* by your name! However, notice the skepticism in most of the answers. Perhaps you are too bluntly truthful and too real for the shallow, self serving, majority When a hidden, overlooked, hard, real truth, fact, or reality, no one really wishes to face emerges....the horse sh*t and denial starts. It's almost reminicent of our governments...isn't it?

Answer 2

What a sad thing to say, I am not so insecure that I feel superior because I can answer a question, just happens to be something I know. And there is such a thing as unconditional love, my mother had an abundance of unconditional love. Lighten up!

Answer 3

I give advice here to kill time when work is slow. I don't feel superior doing it, unless someone asks a really really idiotic question then you really can't help it. I give advice to people I know because I want to help them out if I can, and I give advice at work because I'd rather someone do it right than me having to go over their work and fix it. I think human nature gives us enough unconditional love for just a select few. It exists, but it is very reserved.

Answer 4

I am as much as a pessimestic skeptic as anyone yet I think your statements [with question marks] are 88% wrong. Sure 12% or more really don't give a she it & need to 'feel superior' but the reality is, I already 'feel' superior to 88% [whether I am or not]! It's easy to NOT care, it's part of our survival mechanism, we've got other things to do & the degree of care is probably portionate to the amount interaction. You are my brother/sister & you are loved whether you believe it or not, whether we show it or not. It's sad that we don't demonstrate our care better but this type of forum is proof that we're making progress! I relish the opportunity to invite you to shut down your pity party & finally point out that if love isn't 'unconditional', it isn't love!

Answer 5

hm is that a question? or is that statement? If that is a question then my answer would be people come seeking for advices and that is generally when you get them. If you do not seek for them then you don't have to listen to them. Yes!
by the way ask a mother what is unconditional love maybe she can explain to you better dear.


---------------------
If someone came to me for advice I do not feel superior infact I feel the great responsibility of answering to someone else's questions and many a time I ask myself if I have the ability to give the best possible solution......
If you feel superior then I think you need to grow up !

The most common mistake in the world is to generalize a group of people that share a common thing. The fact of the matter is that the world consists of amazingly unique individuals, you just need to explore the world more. Some people give advice to others so that others don't go through the same things they went through. Some people give advice to others, because it is their spiritual duty to fight the evils of ignorance in the world by spreading wisdom. Some people give advice to others to make money, so that they can make a living. Some people give advice to others to make friends. Some people give advice to others, because they think they are giving advice to someone special, who will one day have influence over a large number of people, or already does: Aristotle being the personal tutor of Alexander "the Great".

Glean the pearls no matter where they come from. Anothers motivation doesn't lessen the gain one could derive. I enjoy engaging my betters, for if done with finesse I walk away with much more than I came with. Love and advice seldom agree, they're a poor fit. Separate each to their own. Let someone elses vanity be your opportunity, listen coolly while they impart; it's amazing what people will just give away when trying to make someone else feel something! It works very well for me, I'm always willing to listen to advice!

So whats your problem, do you feel guilty for all your answers, etc., or are you just trying to get a rise out of people.

Unconditional love? A perfect example is that of the love that a dog has for its master or mistress.

Answer 9

Some but not all. My mother in law gives advice even when no one asks her.
I only give an advice that I myself would follow in similar circumstances. It has to do something with: what goes around comes around. Karma you know. You don't want to incurr the wrong sort.

Answer 10

i don't believe that...i have read some questions from people that really touched me..and i tried to help them. it doesn't make me feel superior at all..it is a sharing of knowledge...

some people's questions are sad...they obviously need help and i try to give it to them...even with some personal messages not on here....some people are really reaching out here..

Answer 11

Is this a question???

I fear you are wrong in your assumptions. I answer questions because people have asked. True, I don't know any of these people, but I don't feel superior to them. Why do people climb mountains? Because they're there. Why do I answer questions? Because they're there.
