to be strongly "AGAINST" something that already exists in the world
or to be passionately FOR bringing something into the world that does not now exist?
Are you someone who is often more against things or bringing things in?
What are you 'against' or what are you 'for'?
And how is that really going for you?

I guess what I am asking is, is it possible to be FOR something...to stand for something but not make something or someone else wrong to make and fortify your point?

there is a school of thought that says that when you fight against something it actually keep's it around rather then iradicating it . I think of this quote:
"Building a strategy to avoid the almost certain future binds you as much to the almost certain future as committing to it."
Werner Erhard

What has a greater impact on life? First, I think I would want to define this definition of "life" what is "life"? If you are talking about a full life, a meaningful life, an existance, or the opposite of death, or something greater or bigger? Life is not a concrete word as you are using it. it is an abstract word.
to be strongly "AGAINST" something that already exists in the world
Propaganda already is in the world and I am against it, such as in the propaganda of mental illness and psychiatry and the corruption that goes behind it, I am strongly against oppression and greed, so these are things that are already in our world and unless we are against them then how do we change them? Once we accept these things then they grow worse and overtake all that is good, so someone has to be against them. There is a saying you have to stand for something or you will fall for anything.
or to be passionately FOR bringing something into the world that does not now exist?
To be for good and to bring about good is good, and so if you are for it then that is good, it depends on what you are really wanting to bring into the world if it is good or not?
Are you someone who is often more against things or bringing things in?
Both I think that to bring in the good you also have to do away with the bad things, the corruption and you have to make that as your stand say well this is corruption and lies and it needs to go out and I am against that and this is the truth and it needs to be brought in so I am for that and I want you to know it and understand it and be for it too.
What are you 'against' or what are you 'for'?
I am against the corruption and lies that are taking shape now and for the truth to come out and things to change based on the truth in a better direction for our whole world.
And how is that really going for you?
Some times good and some times not so good and there are times when I feel on top of the world and some times when I feel so defeated with all of it. Universally the truth will come out if it is me or another that does it, because the truth is the truth is the truth and lies will be lies will be lies, and that is the truth.

To be passionately for bringing something into the world that does not now exist.
I do both. I'm strongly against the way the meat industry treats animals, it's something I dedicated my life to - fighting for animal rights. I'm also against distorting the true values of Art. And I'm against president Bush!

To be passionately for bringing something into the world that does not now exist.
I do both, I bring things in and I go against things.
I am against people who prey on the innocent. What I mean by that are vultures who pick on others for their own satisfaction. I guess Oppression is the word.
I am for things like breastfeeding, free will... love... the sanctity of marriage....etc.
It's working well for me, only I feel I often have to fight my way through life to be heard.

I guess I'm always open for change. Sometimes it is better to move on, not to dwell in the past.But if I strongly agree changes wouldn't be for the better, I would really support that issue as well. I guess it would depend on the real reason for your impact on life in general.Good luck.

Ignorance is rampant in the world and I'm all against that. As a teacher I'm trying to eradicate that as much as I can. I believe in the value of a balanced education as more than just a meal ticket. Its a struggle.
(in my case my 'for' and 'against' amount to the same thing - and I think that this is true in many cases - it all depends on your perspective)

Just the levels of AWARENESS & PERCEPTION has the greatest impact... Action , whichever way, would flow out of a person with very deep levels of awareness & perception, according to the need of the situation !!
Yes, it works for me too !

Good people who come into our lives & do timely help have the greater impact.
