I find it amazing that you lot get mail so fequently - and check it so often that you even notice that.
It's really cool that you do. I'd be lucky to get two messages per week and usually they've been there about 10 hours before I check them. I did notice once that the email account that sends me notices that I have mail was slow that way. - I know it's shocking!!
Wow, what a wonderful debate with many well put arguments. Thank you everyone who has taken their time to post on it. I enjoyed reading many of them.
It's interesting that this topic and many like it polerize people so much. Also interesting is the point that the topic has shifted to a debate of religon rather than a statement, on a simple question, of one's opinion.
Seems this point some people have dificulty not being ok with others not agreeing with them. Be great to know exctly why that is. Maybe I'll hazard a guess later on in this rambling answer.
Anyway as to life? Well I personably couldn't vote as neither answer fully fit my own thoughts. I believe that a supreme being of some description created the universe... perhaps just the phsycal laws it obeys and the matter; perhaps life too. I do think that life has changed over time to more suit it's survival needs. I don't think that those incremental changes can be - with any serious mathmatical/satistacal inquiry - attributed to chance. I believe that each generation something makes small alterations based (possibly) on what killed the organisim or what assisted it to survive, procrerate etc. What that is or if it's a single being or many I don't know. But, to me, the likely hood of say; a bug changeing by chance mutation to look exactly like and behave exactly like a thorn or a certain flower not to mention mutating to form one functioning eye not to mention that each amasing mutation always seems to have been formed as a two or two halves - not just one eye but two, not just one limb - two. Two mirror halves to most creatures, each feature a small mutation that happens to be mirrored on the other half of the body? Ok I know we get the occasional mutaion in life - but of those you've seen how many we're symetrical? The kid with a toe growning out of his arm does he have another on the otherside?
For that matter, if these were all mutaions - where are the ocasional unessersary ones? I mean ok maybe it is possible to have an offspring who is benificially mutated and symetricaly so. But if each small change was a mutation somewhere along the way there would have been an unessasary change ... a hon here or stump there or ....something, but - to me it seems once a species no longer needs a feature it quickly starts to loose it. So that kinda hints to me at an ongoing thing that has some guidence. I don't care weather or not you agree or disagree and I love that there is so many different opinions. I could quite easily be wrong. It's just what I "think" may be right or close to right.
Anyway, religion - I don't belong to a mainstream religion - I'm not Christian or Muslim, hindu or buhdist. But I do belong to a religion. I firmly believe in the right to religion - to have or not have a religion and not just have and practice that religion or belief - what ever it may be - without so much as the slightest attack or frown apon them. So to you of whatever religion or none that you belong...I'm very very glad you have your own opinions and beliefs and that you are hapy in them.
Seems a little odd, you asking. You chose to break up with him. Therefore, you were unhappy. So ending an unhappy relationship is often the right thing. If you're asking people to valadate your decision then, are you in doubt about it?
Don't second guess your decisions - you know the relationship better than anyone on this site. Youdecide if you did the right thing.
If you're having 2nd thoughts I'll ask you a couple of things that don't need your answer except to yourself. 1, Are there things you did against the relationship that you haven't told him? Often this is the main reason people end relationships - so they can stop hurting the other party. If so write down when, where and what you did until youcan't think of any more.
2, Money isn't the only form of contribution to a relationship. Often a man is the biggest contributer in a relationship or mararige yet the woman's contribution is seen as important(or vice versa)as it should. Did he give to you in other ways tha twerent in the form of money? If so was this valuable to you and are you now missing it?
3, Who told you he was no good? Whoever it was do you think they realy had your best interests at heart?
Dreams like that are fun... I had one about someone (not from here) the other night. Wasn't naughty exactly but intimate - and I've not been like that with this person. Kinda nice to have.
hmmmn interesting thread - thanks for starting it.
The studying of the information contained within my religion has made a huge difference to my life - yes.
Don't know about "fixed" beliefs - my understandings of life remain fairly fluid and would change with new data. Some key ones though would be - more communication; not less
and....things to do with being true to your goals, holding you honnor and intergrity to self higher than anything.
Thank you for sharing the poem. Obvoiusly the tone is sad. But I'm a little lost? You're sad because you won best poet two years running or because of being constantly reminded of a loss?
I'll spend the early part of the day with my three kids. Thier mum will pop over and checkout the santa sack thingo then arroubd to her pace with ex-inlaws and a yummy lunch then round to my folks place for more of the same.
Oh all of this will be happening right here in sunny New Zealand.
Yes everyone recognises me. I walk down the street and people call my name, wave flags and dance on car roofs, a band usualy starts up and cheerleaders then the helicopters arrive with the news crews. Can get tiersome sometimes.
....er.......no I haven't been - at least if I have the person didn't have the guts to say so. Doing a search of local people I recognised several people one of who I know well. But noone who posts.
I wouldn't marry for money. I guess one wieghs everything up when choosing a partner and it's possible it may tip the scales but probably wouldn't come into concideration that much.
Would huge debts on the other's part alter your choice?
While I'm happy for you to have your opinion - I disagree. Perhaps the legalities are different here (you have to be seperated for two ytears before a divorce is granted) I'm still seperated - but it's only a formality - our marrige is over. Just have the technicality of sining a document. For me cheating is someting you do against an agreement with your spouse/partner/lover not with officaldom. So as we both agree with the fact our marrige is over and are ok with the other having other relationships - then to me being with another wouldn't constitute cheating.
I didn't think you were - but can see that some might - take another pic anyways - you gotta have a smile on love - (er not (i)just(/i) a smile on ..that wasn't ment to sound that way )
