I have some good friends and family ...so I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad... but I would still much rather happily ever after and a couple of kids... but if it is to be.. it is to be...
my mum is on her own and seems quite content...she is good looking for her age and could prob meet someone if she wants but she prefers her independance... means she worries about us all a lil bit more than need be.. but she's cool most of the time....
Good and very healthy attitude... thruth is most people DO have some goodness in them (in varying degrees obviously.. granted some very little )... but life is way too short to be looking on the down side.... I find I do get annoyed from time to time with stuff.. but I tend to bounce back very quickly...
some people bore me ALL of the time (like my ex ) some only occassionally...SOME I am content to sit in silence with (special and rare in my book)
I'm sure is the case that I occassionally bore people too .. fact is we are not always singing and dancin and raring to go...I guess the people who I enjoy being around are the people who I generally find stimulating.. or who generally find me stimulating..(allowing for off days )
My sis gave me advise once...which I thought useful... she said 'Sis it's not YOUR job to be the entertainer.. there is always two in a conversation...'..... (this was in context of my frustration with my ex.. who seemed allergic to conversation)...
Hiya Kid .. .. I am of the general view that if both parties to a discussion 'shout'.. neither party hears... defeats the purpose of communication I reckon..
There is definitely something in the air Al and 'believers' and 'non-believers' alike are beginning to sense it.. although a lot of us are still scrambling to understand it...
It feels like.. circumstances, conciousness and/or the planets.. whatever.. are aligning.. and in the next few years... a short time this will all come to ahead... I have been feeling this for the last 6 to 12 months.. and for the same period I have been doing research of my own.. including reading the Bible (for the first time in my life )...
Don't you think its curious that so many of us are feeling this strong 'need' to seek the thruth... I don't believe this is an accident..
I have done my bit to inform and 'spread' my points of view.. .but given that I am not entirely sure of them myself I don't know how authoritative they are... that said.. even if I were certain of my views.. people have to be 'ready' and figure things out for themselves.. u see how fractious things get on CS if people offer opposing views... what we need is to be open minded and TRY as best we can to identify the common ground and use this ground as a foundation for understanding and unification...
I do recall u saying to me that it's not that you don't believe in God per se.. and that you do believe in something greater which may be 'god'... I got the general impression that it is simply a case that you are still seeking...
For what its worth Al.. I enjoyed the point that you made... whether or not they are 'strictly' part of the OP
THEY want us warring!! What happens if we join each other???? What happens if we use the one truth about ALL GODS, that all religions carry in theme, LOVE and begin to welcome each other as equal members of mankind under a common goal for ALL.?"
I agree with you on this Al... I think Evil does have that objective.. we are becoming more and more autonomous in our society and more and more deeply mistrustful of ourselves (mankind) this plays into the hands of Evil... and will make us powerless when the time comes for Evil to triumph... I agree with you that we should try and seek the basic goodness in eachother.. afterall the vast majority of us just want the same things...
"your life isn't your own without other people, it belongs to misery, that colourful array of sounds is your reason for being.. dont look to the dark side, look to the bright.. it is the signature in every picture"
Proud to be Irish..yes... but don't 'feel' 100% Irish at times..also.. I would not be blind to any ills perpetrated by Ireland just because she is my country... the IRA in its later years for e.g.... I hated them.. because they had evolved into a gang of criminals with alleged links to organised crime.. JMO
One 'tip' I would give is to not respond to nasty posters.. it just tends to turn into a tit for tat... also if these people are ignored they will have to disappear
"ROWAN TREE (Sensitivity) - full of charm, cheerful, gifted without egoism, likes to draw attention, loves life, motion, unrest, and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic, passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive."
not too bad... however I am very forgiving... so otherwise fairly on point...'full of charm' would have to be verified by someone else though.. I feel utterly charmless at times...
Sounds like weakly constructed PR to me.... they call themselves 'SATANists'.... 'C'mon!! and Satan himself would be powerless if it weren't for peoples own weaknesses and desires... He rules by cunning and manipulation.. if people who follow that mode of living think they are worshipping merely themselves.. then I think they have themselves fooled...
I was told a saying once which made alot of sense to me.. that is.. 'the cream always rises to the top'.. over the course of time you learn who your REAL friends are...and in my experience they have been the ones that have been there for me when the chips are down.. and the ones who persist in keeping contact even though we are in different countries..
I am lucky I have some really cool friends.. small handful.. but quality
I do love my job.. there is a vocational aspect to it...lately however... I have been thinkin.. what is it all for.. the important thing is to be yourself and be happy... and u don't need that much money for that...
I am creative.. would love to do something incorporating that.. I wouldn't mind being a teacher.. a care worker ... ...
the best job is the one u don't have to do for money
Just off the phone to a friend who is going to pack up her well paid job.. (accountant) and move back home.. sign on the dole and just 'reflect' for a few months...
Thats the third friend of mine in the last year to give up lucrative careers to move toward a more simple life... just goes to show doesn't it.. we grow up with this expectation that we have to 'prove' ourselves.. to who???... at the end of the day it all about happiness and contentment.. innit??
My flatmate has just come back from Berlin... and is deeply respectful of.. and inspired by Eastern Germans... he finds them unique and more 'evolved' than other Europeans by virtue of what they went through... they were a wealthy Communist Country.. had all their material needs met yet were compelled to risk life and limb for their freedom... freedom of speech, thought and expression.. I think sometimes we don't really appreciate the significance of these things..
At the moment the developed world thinks it is free.. but is it really?... our thoughts and views are being manipulated on a daily basis by advertising and media... and we are on a threadmill... if the rug was pulled beneath us tomorrow.. what would we be left with
