Body armor is best for all.

People, get real. If the police are starting to buy their own bullet proof vests, then I think it a good idea for us to buy the same thing just in case. I already know a few people who are my friends, who have purchased not only...

Ida Bassford Although in the ideal world we would not have to even think about this, much less worry, I regrettably have to agree with you. With the rising violence rate rapidly growing what else can we think about, worry about? It's awful to have to wonder if where you...

Sometimes People are Only Concerned With Benefits

Teep11 @Teep11 (7673) • United States 13 Jul 16

Some people will stay in our lives just to see what's in it for them. Yes, there will be people who aren't too concerned with our well being, but concerned with receiving. There's nothing wrong with giving to others but sometimes...

Ida Bassford I know exactly how that feels. I am now pretty much a loner because I finally refused to be taken advantage of anymore. Now there are only a couple of people who even bother to talk to be. It gets lonely sometimes but on the other hand, I'd rather be alone...

We all try to avoid change

shaloo walia @swalia (1386) • India 28 Jun 16

We all try to avoid change forgetting that change is the only constant thing in the world. Change seems intimidating. We are so happy in our comfort zones that we find it difficult to step out of it. However, it is change that...

Ida Bassford I don't mind change. change is good because it broadens your horizon. As long as the change is for the better anyway. Sometimes change can bring on negative things too. We just have to push through though because you are right, the world is constantly...

People Tell me Things

Jo Ann @akalinus (43142) • United States 27 Jun 16

People tell me the strangest things. Today a guy came over and told me that he and his wife really aren't married because he never divorced the first woman. He also told me that they sleep in the same bed but don't have intimate...

Ida Bassford I agree with others, there must be something about you that makes people feel at ease to talk to you about things they most likely wound't tell their close friends and family. It could be empathy as well. That is the one thing I struggle with, empathy. I try...
