I have a sister who has always been difficult. She has now cut herself off from myself and my other sisters. We have all tried to make peace but she has made her choice.
Now that I have accepted that, it is a relief in a way, because trying to maintain a sisterly relationship was always uncomfortable, unpleasant and a strain.
I used to think blood was thicker than water but not anymore. You don't choose your family, you choose your friends. There are ways that a person can treat you that you would never from accept from a friend, they wouldn't be your friend anymore. Sometimes we think we have to accept bad treatment and lack of respect from a person just because they are family. That's not right, you should not accept treatment from a sister that you wouldn't accept from anyone else. You can dump a friend easier than a sister.
But once you realise that you don't have to put up with it just because its a sister, it's a relief. Sometimes friends are better than sisters.

But you can "visit" anywhere on Google Street Level
and if we are talking google street level I've been to a lot more places, Japan, China, Russia, Iceland, New York, Hawaii, Antartica Finland, Greenland, even my own house lol , .....I wonder is Pakistan on google street level?
I visited Scotland, Wales, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Canada. Only one outside Europe. Never been to Asia, or the United States. They are not on my bucket list
I sometimes get a feeling when I get a phone call I know what it is about before the person says it. The worst one was when my sister rang me to tell me my mother had passed away. It was sudden, my mother had been well when I last saw her a couple of days before so there was no reason that I should had suspected what was to come, but as soon as I answered the phone, I somehow knew
We need SPEEDY trials for all child rapists, murderers and drug cartel members instead of stalling criminal cases for months and years on the taxpayers dime despite overwhelming evidence.[/quote
I was on here, I think it was around 2010-2011 I'm not sure when really but it was really fun. The forums were so fast moving, it was hard to type fast enough, and I'm a fast typist!
I left and didn't look in for a long time, and just a few weeks ago I decided to join again, with a new name. Its just not the same though, the days of hopping between threads in fits of giggles are gone. I was a bit disappointed to find that out, but I suppose its only to be expected. Things are bound to change. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that some of the same people are here
The world is full of fascinating things that you could occupy yourself with , if you had the intelligence to go and find what you are good at, what interests you
But it seems that the only thing that interests you is to make banal threads about intelligence, logic and boredom and then insult people who post on then
I can't imagine any way a person would question somebodys intelligence without being insulting so I too can understand why a person would get defensive.....in real life that is , not on a forum like this
Yes and an intelligent person will know not waste years studying an area that does suit them, but rather put their gifts into an area that does suit them then they will happily study and learn in the area they are interested in, only then will they really be successful
No thats not what I said. A person can have intelligence without ever having the opportunity or the desire to study in the normal way. There are lots of people in business, in the arts and in trades etc who have had very successful lives. When I have time I can find examples. But an example would be a person who leaves education early in life to run his family small business. He could grow that business from a small struggling business to a very large successful business if he has the right kind of intelligence and talent. But a person needs intelligence to be able to study and learn. Knowledge is gained by study and skills are gained by both study and practice
So Intelligence and knowledge and skill are not the same thing, and don't always necessarily go together
