RE: God exists???

Very good analogy... I have a hard time myself trying to get my head around the pain and suffering issue and I have never doubted the existence of god...

But to put it is the context of my own life experience.. I often find in hindsight that even when the worst things happen something good comes out of it.. and I discover in time that there was an ultimate purpose or important lesson to be learned...

People who suffer hardship are often the most spiritual people because when tested, there faith becomes more affirmed..

RE: "family oriented" do you need to come from a great family to become one?

Hiya Christina.. wave old thread.. but interesting question.. I don't think that you necessarily have to have come from a great family in order to have the necessary values to have a solid family of your own, although I definitely think it helps.... It is by no means always the case but I have found (on a number of occasions)that people with difficult backrounds can often have confidence, commitment and intimacy issues... I definitely (in my experience only) have found that the emotional characteristics, required for balanced relationships often begin at home.. and thats not to say that one has to have had a perfect white picket fence.. just love and security mainly JMO

cheers

RE: Do you believe in ghosts?

wow.. seriously!!! and you weren't scared??.. I have to say.. while I would find the thought of witnessing that sort of phenomena rather exiting.. it would still scare the life out of me I think.. uh oh

I had a sort of experience in Castle Lesley in Co Monoghan in Ireland.. in one of the rooms.. reputed to be haunted (u don't have to be told which one) there is a definite eery atmosphere there and its more than just a simple drop in temperature (which there is) but a sort of 'heaviness' in the atmosphere. when I was there I definitely sensed something, although I didn't actually see anything.. also when we were boating on the lake.. the house dog who had jumped into the boat with us, went crackers when we got to the other side of the lake.. he started yelping and trying to hide himself under the wooden slat type chairs on the boat.... found out later that a family member was buried there.. under the tree.... freaky!!! uh oh

cheers

RE: The real meaning behind those Personal ads/Profiles abbreviations - MEN AND WOMEN LIST

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing me too laugh

cheers

RE: What is that about?

I kinda believe in it... but not completely.. .I think you can start falling in love with someone at first sight.. but love needs time, proximity and attention to grow.. the one and only person who I can say I truly loved.. was an example of that.. the first time I met him it honestly felt like there was nobody else in the room... but I wouldn't say I really fell in love until I had spent some quality time with him and got to know him better.. its more than just physical too.. IMO... it feels almost spiritual (which I know sounds a little silly) but it does... like a connection... I still have very fond feelings for this person and if he ever needed me I wouldn't hesitate and be there for him... hug teddybear

RE: Narconon

Yeah I agree with you.. its how alot of the wierder 'religions' work...very sinister isn't it.. I think the incidence of these kind of religions will continue to increase as people feel more and more isolated JMO

RE: Dating Mistakes

I have sympathy for your situation.. benefit of hindsight I guess... had u known her for long beforehand?.. i.e. did u know her attitude (and yours) to the family thing prior to getting involved.... or was that a topic that was just sprung out of the blue.. which if this was the case.. that would obviously be unfair.. I would grant you that

These things.. a bit like religion.. are pretty fundamental... the wisest course would be to not get involved at all I reckon.. u'll know the next time I guess..

Personally if I was clear what another persons intentions were and they didn't conform to mine.. I just wouldn't go there.. I just wouldn't get involved..better to just remain friends.. cause I know it would be doomed from the outset...wine

Unfortunately though in these kinds of situations.. whether meant or not.. there can be mixed signals and confusions may arise..

RE: Dating Mistakes

Interesting... hmmm did this girl mislead initially? ... or was this something you knew about this person from the outset and proceeded regardless.... or was it a complete secret that did not emerge until some time later..

Also from my understanding of women(of which I am one) it isn't actually something they WOULD be prepared to compromise on really...they either want them.. or they don't...confused Are you sure this person was clear on what ur views were.. were you consistent in the messages you were giving her for example...

RE: Dating Mistakes

Absolutely!!!... 'honesty' as in the true interpretation of the word is vital wine

hug

RE: Dating Mistakes

Yeah I think it is only fair to be upfront about these things...fundamental things... I don't think it should be a big 'issue' in the early stages though.. it only really becomes an issue if the relationship moves onto the next stage.. the dating stage should be just about fun and getting to know one another I reckon.. U don't really even know what you want initially.... in terms of future with a person.. mixed signals is also a definite no no!!!

RE: who is the most influential person in your life and why?

lots of people have touched my life in very tangible ways but three stand out the most...

1. My Mum... she is just such a good person, so loving, so patient, so kind.... I aspire to be like her..and its a tall order

2. My Big bro Paul... My Dad is an intellectual and an Artist and was always somewhat detached from his paternal responsibilities... I don't resent him for it.. cause its just him.. but having said that he hasn't been a strong male role model... My Big bro Paul.. more than filled that gap.. he is the best for advise and support... and just the best big brother one could hope for.

3. My first nephew Calum... I was there the day he was born and was completely overcome with emotion the first time I saw him... love at first sight.. I am not a mum.. but I can imagine what it would be like.. if it is anything close to how much love I felt on that day.. I can't wait..

RE: Does luck determine success? (an interesting read)

Slightly off the OP.. but just a comment as I had this discussion with a collegue this evening.. who leans more to the right and is politically connected.. I lean more to the left..

Capitalism has its merits which can't be denied.. when wealth is generated by private industry and development and construction are at their peak, the benefit of that wealth DOES trickle down, it does tend to create jobs and and increase in state revenue which is at the disposal of the state to benefit public services, which in turn facilitate growth and so on.. HOWEVER.... this on its own falls short of what society needs.. for e.g. there will always be a portion of society who for whatever reason are non-productive, say e.g. mentally ill, disabled, uneducated and unskilled etc.. to ignore the needs of this portion of society brings spells discontent even disaster in the long term... those that fall outside the scope of potential enrichment tend to become entrapped in their circumstances if society does not intervene.. a capitalist government is run by money alone, and in this climate are generally resistent to any increase in tax.. which is fine for the majority but unfortunately if certain social issues are not addressed they will create MORE expenditure in the long term.. for most disadvantaged kids for example.. their future prospects do not extend beyond social welfare and prison.. these COST money folks.... lots of it.. its a bit like saving a dime.. spending a dollar.. it doesn't make sense.. and quite apart from the money issue.... wouldn't we all like to feel a little safer?? this is not going to happen as long as society puts money before people wine

As for luck.. yes there can be an element of it sure.. but opportunity is sure as hell not going to come knocking on ur door and drag u out of bed cheers
