Why do people put others down?

Flirtykumquat @Flirtykumquat (927) • United States 28 Apr 10

Why is it that people like to put people down? I know people that try to hurt people just to affect them and I think it is wrong. Personally I get attacked everyday and he says he is trying to make me stronger even though I don't...

edu4625 I believe that people treat other people based on how they feel about themselves. If someone has a healthy self-image they do not attack others or not as much. This is because they will realize that you cannot control other people. It is a futile task. They...

Do you believe good art comes from emotion?

WhenTheDarkFloodCame @WhenTheDarkFloodCame (76) • United States 28 Apr 10

I think that most art work is only good when it has emotion to it. Without emotion, its just some random thing, I believe you have to show your feelings in your artwork in order for it to be good. What are your opinions? :)

art

edu4625 I actually thought it was impossible to not show your emotions through art. I always felt that art is an expression of creative emotion. But I guess you're right in that if the artist is holding back on their emotions their creativity will be limited and thus...

edu4625 I like playing the lottery and I don't think it's a bad thing. I know the odds are low that you will win but it still doesn't take away the excitement that I could have the winning numbers. I don't play the lottery often. I mostly play when I feel lucky.

edu4625 I'm not afraid to look at the dead because I believe that the soul continues to live on and the physical body is or was the container for our experience in a physical world. When I was younger I did feel afraid to look at the dead because I didn't want to...

Are you happy with your figure/body? Anything you'd like to change?

blimb @grkelly (1206) • Malta 26 Apr 10

edu4625 I agree that most people are not entirely happy with their bodies and that includes me. I would like to be thinner and more toned. At the same time I think to myself that I'm not a bad size for my age. As a woman I am probably more conscious of this than...

Does someone's favorite color say something about their personality?

eddyspaghetti @eddyspaghetti (1225) • United States 23 Apr 10

edu4625 Yes, I think that a persons choice of color is indicative of their personality or some aspect of their character. I've read books about color and how colors have vibrations. In fact I read a mylot writing about a child who related people to colors. I can...

Big argument in my house yesterday.

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 23 Mar 10

My husband was fuming mad when he got home last night. He had gotten a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Well, I basically laughed, and that started the argument. I think that if it's the law, whether you agree with it or not,...

edu4625 I think the real issue is that your husband probably needed a little empathy first. He is an adult and he knows that there would be consequences for his actions. He knows rationally that this could or would happen at some point but even having known that...

Are you a crybaby?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 17 Mar 10
