Arry (@SBhargav) on myLot

moshe aharonov @mushluh (10) • Israel 8 Nov 15

What do you think the purpose of life? Why do we live if in the end we die? Is there a God who created us and watching over us? And if so, why not tell us what to do directly?

Arry Even if God tells us directly what to do, will we obey? For instance, do good to others, be kind, love and get over jealousy, anger and hate, respect your body and mind, keep them healthy. These are basic tenets of almost all the religions and societies in...

We all have our favorite foods...for me it's grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and chocolate cake. All at one meal or individually - I'm happy with any of those items. So to answer my own question - if myLot was...

As most ancient foods do, tamarind has a long history of medicinal uses. Tamarind preparations are used for fevers, sore throat, rheumatism, inflammation, and sunstroke. Tamarind contain thiamin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus,...

Arry Interesting. As far as I know, tamarind pulp is used as a wrap for sprained ankles. It keeps the inflammation in check. The rest of them I have no idea. It would be great if you could elaborate.

How do you explain 4-10 year olds exhibiting finesse in art, math, chess or music? Yes, all the explanations tell you how they are able to do it. Possessing an extraordinary working memory, a rage to master, a tendency towards...

Arry @Jessicalynnt I agree with you. We are doomed to repeat the same patterns till we learn to handle them in a better way. The "learning" I was referring to in my post was related more to a particular skill we like. For instance, I like to paint. But I know I...

Arry @Pattitude I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, sometimes for reasons unknown, we have to be apart from them and that's truly painful. Heights of ecstasy to depths of despair.

Arry @TheHorse True. But, you never know. Sometimes, we think we have nothing in common, only to find out later we are alter-egos. That's a fantastic and unparalleled feeling (if and when that happens!). It does and it did for me. :)

Arry @Jessicalynnt - "Learning as we go". Well put! That's the hope and never stop learning just because we can't see the results of our work. We cannot give up saying "There is no point". There always is. And that's the best part.

Arry @PainsOnSlate - I am glad you met yours. :) Yes, I am a firm believer of past lives as well. And there are hints all around us, and if we are aware, the universe will let us in on all its secrets!

Arry @Drosophila - I couldn't agree more. We end up having to explain, defend our decision every single time. I know what I exactly want, I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses, I have arrived at an informed decision, but somehow that doesn't seem to...

Arry Beautifully written. Honest. The part about how you can't talk about it to anyone, is so true! No one else has been in our shoes, and even if we find someone to listen to us rant and even if they try to help, it is of very little comfort. It is horrifying...

Arry @Freelanzer , @martygoldeng - Exactly, if we are on the verge of extinction, it makes sense to go on having children. People who want kids should do it. And those who don't, should not be forced into having them. It isn't a duty, certainly not in these...
