Wrong Decisions in Life

@acelawrites @acelawrites (19272) • Philippines 11 Aug 16

There are times when I contemplate and felt bad for taking some decisions hastily then regret it later. So many " what if's, so many "should I, or should I not" come to mind. Then when I am tired thinking about it, I just rest...

Elizabeth M. Archut I have made hasty decisions in the past that I probably shoudn't have made. It happens to a lot of us. At the time of the decision we don't always think about it, until after the fact. That's when the what if's and should haves, start sinking in. So yes, I've...

When you want to buy something, do you prefer to save money first, or to take a credit?

Robert Centauro @ourlot (982) 11 Aug 16

When you want to buy something, is it more motivating to save money until you can afford it, or, to take a credit and pay after you have the thing?

Elizabeth M. Archut For me it's saving money. I don't own a credit card, so I can't charge anything. Money saving is the way to go.

Appreciating Silence

Teep11 @Teep11 (7673) • United States 11 Aug 16

Taking in the silence. Just enjoying peaceful moments. Long periods with no distractions. Blessings all around. To be able to work without those silly hiccups is amazing. Sometimes there's some tip toeing in the virtual. Yes....

Elizabeth M. Archut Peace and quiet help the mind reflect and it's a wonderful relaxation. It's a form of peace that one should enjoy, even if, for a moment. Quiet is to be enjoyed. I agree.

Is God Bias??

Zap @zap_81 (1019) 11 Aug 16

I have come across some post which mentions that God told me this , God told me that. I do respect God but I do not know if all this is true. Are they trying to say God is bias?? If yes then are they promoting or defaming him...

Elizabeth M. Archut Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's just a fact. You don't have to like or believe in God, but only respect the opinions of others. Also, there are people who mention their daily conversation with everyone, they do it because it makes them feel happy...

Is Chicken an animal???

Wendy789 @Drosophila (16571) • Ireland 10 Aug 16

This was a serious question! I had the net radio on and was listening to a live show.. When one of the hosts asked this question in all seriousness. He doesn't think chicken is an animal, as it's a bird, and birds are not...

Elizabeth M. Archut We are all animals of some kind. I mean, it makes more sense that way. We are all in some sort of classification. For example: (cat, dog, bird, human, and so forth) This question is a bit mind boggling but when it comes down to it, chicken is tasty.

Elizabeth M. Archut I can completely comprehend this feeling. I do feel that way at times. I have a general idea of what I want to do, and some things I'm starting to do, but they take so much time. I see people doing better, and yes, I'd love to do better too. It's easy to feel...

Elizabeth M. Archut Laughter is the key to happiness. I'm not sure where I heard that, but it has to be true. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I feel without comedy, we'd all be boring and angry all the time. Laughter, jokes, funny movies, comedians. We all need that. :)

Elizabeth M. Archut I cannot stand Donald Trump. He's not a politician, he knows nothing of it. A secret is that all the money he makes isn't exactly his. As for those 5 million, I don't know anyone with that much. All I know is, he better not win the presidency.

Elizabeth M. Archut This is so true. We can't let fear get in the way of our happiness, and we cannot let fear win. I admit, I fear so many things, but if I cannot face up to them, there really isn't any point. I believe we should all learn to face our fears and triumph over...
