I don't believe you can heal someone by simply touching them. However, the mind is capable of all sorts of things. If someone believes in something hard enough i.e. this preacher can heal me by laying his hands on me. I believe the mind can make it happen, make the person believe they are healed or at least make the person believe they are going to beat the disease/illness
There have been studies conducted on people with cancer and other diseases that showed those with positive attutudes, a sense of worth, etc recovered at much higher rates than those who were unhappy. These studies really just proved what most already know, the miond and body are one and can't live without the other.
Perhaps something as simple as a touch from a friend or loved one helps by showing that person they are loved thus keeping their mind positive
The second part of your question... No, I have not been touched today other than shaking hands
I suppose you're right there were some rather angry or nasty remarks. I'll not stoop to that but quite frankly your's were just as nasty.
You started this thing with a loaded question to begin with "Does it not bother you that the world look's at your nation and it's people with such hate?" Your question implies fact and was designed so you could reach "your" predetermined conclusion. Of course you didn't stop there, you continued this with your bias analysis of the "replies" you collected. If you actually read the posts you'll find that several people including me gave you honest answers yet you choose to only focus on the negative.
You're rather transparent and you're certainly not in a position to judge or evaluate anyone until you take a god long look in the mirror. It's clear your goal was to do nothing less than piss off a few people. You did, congratulations. I hope you feel better about yourself
Thanks for your post. I was going to ask you what an Aspie was but Susie posted some information. Sounds as though it can be very frustrating but at the same time you seem to have adjusted to it quite well. It is nice that you are able to focus on close friends and/or loved ones.
Have you ever noticed that when you're alone or lonely, you are totally alone but as soon as you meet someone that you're trying to get close to there's a surge of people interested in you.
I did the same thing. I would simmer and simmer because I really hated confrontation. Someone else in this post mentioned fear and I know that had something to do with it as well. I still hate confrontation but it's a necessary thing. Now when something is going on that I don't like I take action before I get angry. Much easier to remain tactful and respectful of others and a much better way to handle things overall. It's not easy but you get used to it after awhile.
I really can't remember the last time I was mad except for last night when the Rams lost again.
That's easy, The perfect first date is one where I don't get slapped or arrested....
On a serious note, A nice place where we are able to talk and learn about each other. Good food and/or drink is a plus but a first date is way too early to worry about being romantic.
Hey, I was a single parent for many years. Divorced when my son was 8 months old and his mother completely took off when he was 3 years old. He's now 24 and I haven't heard from her since that time.
Anyway, it all worked out OK. Hard work but well worth it. Happy to answer any questions.
After reading your post it was easy to come to the conclusion this guy was taking your friend for a ride i.e. cheating on her.
Unfortunately, things are not always so cut and dry. Many of the things you told us are classic symptoms of anxiety. I've seen and worked with the mentally ill for years. They are a difficult group to work with especially people with anxiety and bi-polar disorders. Medication can help but once they get to feeling better they stop taking the medication and the cycle goes on. They can be helped but it's a life long journey that requires a lot of patience as there is no cure. Hopefully your friend really understands that. Sounds as though she already know he's not cheating.
By the way, you sound like you are a loyal and dedicated friend.
No, it doesn't bother me at all. America isn't perfect and never will be but the majority of the people there are good.
There are people who hate America and that's really their problem not mine. I hope if you are one of those, you have a valid reason and are not blindly following the ideals of someone else.
