love

pinknic @pinknic (307) 23 Feb 07

Is love so great? I'm nearly 24 and I have never been in love. I feel I am missing out on something. I'd like to know from people who are/have been in love, is it really as amazing as movies, songs and books will have us...

barbarella Wow. Its like RadicalPatriot is the only person in all these responses who has ever found love remotely painful! I think how great love is probably depends on how well-balanced and emotionally stable you and your partner are. If you are reasonably together...

Depression??

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 10 Feb 07

I'm not talking about Clinical depression...but that 'down' feeling you can get. I notices the other day a lot of posts from MyLot users saying they were depressed. Well, for the last 24 hours I have not been near my computer and...

barbarella I don't think its the computer per se that causes the feelings of depression in the sense that it is the emissions from it or whatever. I think that prolonged sitting at a computer communicating with people that you don't really know just creates a sense of...

barbarella Why can one's opinion be neither right nor wrong? And in what sense do you mean that? Do you mean that it can't be morally right or wrong or it can't be correct or incorrect? Its true that morals can only ever be personal opinion (unless you believe in a God...

barbarella I'm afraid I can't remember the arguments for why God allows evil but there is a very good book called 'The Puzzle of Evil' by Peter Vardy which explores this question in an unbiased way, giving all the arguments from both sides.

Do you have recurring dreams?

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 22 Jan 07

Describe the scenarios you repeatedly dream about. Please keep it clean (!) and try to get too freaky!! Perhaps someone will have a go at interpreting your dreams for you??

barbarella Thought about this question when I woke up this morning as my dreams last nigh reminded me that although I don't have recurring dreams, I do have recurring themes. For example, over the last few nights, I have had 2 dreams where a child was in trouble and I...

barbarella I am such a nerd but I actually really enjoy it! When my son was in primary school I had to restrain myself a bit after I spent ages on a really nice border for my sons work and the teacher put 'Good Work Mrs ...' on it!

Being the authentic YOU

Ravenladyj @Ravenladyj (22902) • United States 23 Jan 07

So whether everyone will admit it or not, we all wear "masks" during many moments in our daily lifes. Carl Jung would have refered to it as our "persona" which is according to him NOT an accurate reflection of our individuality. I...

barbarella I think that you have presented it as if it is a bad thing and in fact I would argue that a persona is not just necessary but very useful. You mentioned the example of being respectful at your in-laws, but you also have to be professional at work, fun on a...

More than just your favorite animal!

Dissposition @Dissposition (469) • Canada 22 Jan 07

What is your favorite animal? In many psychological testing, a persons favorite animal and especiall the certain "ways" of their favorite animal can be viewed as a direct reflection of someone's own personality. So let's...

barbarella From a psychological point of view, this is probably a bit of a sad indictment of how far I am from being where I want to be in life but I have two. One which I see as me now and one which I would like to be. Me as I am is a giraffe. No physical comparison - I...

What do you imagine Hell would be like?

livewyre @livewyre (2450) 21 Jan 07

Can you describe your own perceptions of Hell? How did you arrive at these conclusions?

What is heaven if we have to go through hell first?

kk_84in @kk_84in (1686) • India 21 Jan 07

The problem is this life we live on earth is not hell. Hell is spritual condition. why would we go through a bad life experience and be worse off when we die and are judged.

heaven

hell

barbarella The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that to be the case though. That there is no Hell as such, that this is Hell now as Satan is currently ruling Earth.
