I learnt to stand on my head when I was a child, and it has helped me in different ways since then... Stand on your head and look at how people walk, jog, run, or play... and what you see is very much different from what you have already seen when you were on your feet...I’m not joking...
So I am standing on my head here too, and observing the real nature of people behind their nicely-written profiles... The results are amazing... useful... enjoyable... lol
Some profile owners on CS ask me if I am God-Fearing... So, I thought of writing this forum especially in their interest and also for the amusement of others.
I don’t fear god but I am at peace with him. We are understanding friends, and at times we meet (in secret places)and have useful discussions (while having some tea together without sugar lol)... So, he tells me the things that he does not tell his so-called faithful followers... lol ! Don’t be jealous of me please.
So,according to God, the following are some reasons in brief (as far as I can remember...), as to why he is far away from such people...
If you are God-Fearing... because god does not like cowardice...
When you use loudspeakers to call him... because this hurts god’s very sensitive ear-drums...
When you pretend to be his ‘agents’... because god has not appointed any ‘sales personnel’...
When you try to thrust him upon others... because god is a free and independent entity...
When you try to love him... because he has enough ‘beautiful girlfriends’ in heaven...
When you try to 'scam' him for materialistic wealth... because he is not a businessman...
When you waste materialistic wealth on his behalf... because he values simplicity...
If you are unsmiling... because god is always happy and smiling...
In my personal experience, many god-fearing people are wrong-doers or sinners or sufferers...whoever they may claim to be...
So, if you want God to get close to you..., be GOD-FRIENDLY !!, Smile with Yourself first and then Smile with Him !! wOW !!!
I suppose the Photo Rating on CS is meant for creating amusement, understanding etc among the members . It is not something serious like a ‘Presidential Election’ of a country.
So, according to the Automated Rating System of CS, you can rate a photo only once and if you rate a photo below 8 points, you do not appear on the list of members who rated that photo but become an ever-unknown and unimportant figure to the owner of that photo. In other words, you become a sort of ‘secret or underground figure’ to the person you vote unless you send him/her a message to say what you have done. (I don’t think anybody will ask the CS-staff for this information.)
Ok, I can understand that if you dislike someone or bear a personal grudge against him/her , you can rate low and bring down the ‘Average Photo Rating’. But still that person does not know that you have done it. So, you can derive only 50% of the ‘satisfaction’ through your act ! Wow !!
So, as I see, by rating a photo below 8 points, you show yourself your own insanity and ignorance !! So, my personal feeling is that it is better to refrain from rating any photo if you do not like to give it 8 points or more.
Have you ever given this a thought… ? freetraveller Colombo, Sri lanka February 05, 2010
Thanks for your comment serene 56 Yes, I suppose what you are talking about is the 'Squatting Pan'... However, I think Westerners and Europeans have now forgotten that they were the creaters of the squatting pan (as far as I know...)
All of us like to be in Good Health ... but most of us fail ... Try this simple technique too... Get used to a Squatting Pan before you get sick in your lower body... This idea may sound funny ... but I assure you it really works... Every time you use the toilet you get superb Natural Exercise totally free of charge... (Read the full text named ‘Improving Health through your Toilet’ under Articles- Self Improvement)
Sorry, I couldn't answer your question... This is not a quotation from anybody... but it's something as I've experienced and realized as a free-thinker.
If you, as an individual, believe in a religion to ease your life; follow it faithfully, honestly, silently... and always try to keep it in your heart – it may help you in someway or other...
But if you keep your religion on your head; instead of helping you, it may start to trouble you and others around you... And if you bring your religion to your ‘roof-top’, it will bring destruction to you and many others...
One may begin to worship a lamp-post for some reason in his or her faith…, and looking at it sarcastically, another one may worship a ‘Bo’ tree or some other structure... One may worship the son and the moon..., and laughing at it , another one may worship a statue or a cross...
When faith has no logical background, it is easy for the faithful followers to follow it and others to see it as a faith. When faith has or seems to have some logical or scientific background, it makes things difficult for the followers and others as well because the followers may try to thrust their faith upon others using science and logic.
Freedom can be another proud, expensive Burden to carry alone, if you try to master your ‘outer-nature’ only... But for the people who are the masters of their ‘inner-nature’, Freedom is something very beautiful,...inexplicable,...It is liveliness,...a living sprit,...a marvelous antidote...
Many are born into this world with the ability to develop his or her intellect during the process of growing up - a marvellous gift offered by nature, which distinguishes humans from other beings. But unfortunately this great reasoning power remains latent within us because, from the moment we are born, we are conditioned by the beliefs we unknowingly gather from our society, religions and traditions, from our parents, teachers and friends and from our so called leaders and other influential people etc. This process of conditioning goes on forever and it is extremely difficult to avoid its vast influence. The vast majority of us have to accept this reality whether we like it or not.
Eventually, we are made to belong to various nationalities, races, casts, languages, religions, traditions, superstitions, political views, social levels etc and many of us become holders and carriers of such things and start a never-ending battle in life losing the simplicity of our mind. When overwhelmed with pride, greed, envy, hatred, ignorance etc, we begin to trust our beliefs upon others by hook or by crook and try to obtain mastery over them making almost all of us more and more ignorant and losing all human values.
Many viewpoints that we proudly bear on various matters, although they seem to be constructive, are more destructive when intellectually reasoned. Many people wrongly think that being academically or religiously well educated, is a good sign of being intellectual as well. Of course this is some sort of knowledge and intelligence that is very useful to survive in this commercialized world. But that is not at all enough to explore every situation that we have to face in our life, especially to understand this illusive society and exist in it...

Thanks again. When you lack confidence and give the responsibility of your health to others, they try to prey on you - it's the nature of the business world.

Calorie-burning effort has become a big issue in the world today. “Calories” help you to live healthily... Then why do you let these “friends” act like “parasites” in you... If you realize the very close relationship between your health and your mouth and do not eat too much “calories”, you do not need to start a battle to burn extra calories... Life flows on happily when you are healthy...
