emarkoff I completely agree with what you say. However, I do understand how difficult it is for many of us to find time to pray. We really need to take out the time to spend time with God and just hang out with Him. I bet most of us spend more time watching television...

emarkoff I did see "Cats" on Broadway in June 1984. It was impressive in its own way with the exquisite costuming of the felines on stage. However, I was disappointed by the lack of plot of the production. Nevertheless, "Memory" was a very good song.

emarkoff I would hope that one would understand that when somebody commits suicide, they have some major self esteem issues. These would definitely supersede whether or not you love them or they love you. One really has to feel good about themselves to have a healthy...

Why everyone wants to know how much others are earning?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 15 Feb 11

It seems that everyone is so eager to find out how much others are making, when actually it is none of their business. Everyone knows that the most important part is their own earnings, since that is their own money, which they...

emarkoff Well, none according to me or God. In His eyes, we are all equal. Therefore, such activity is frivolous. I think people who want to do this are trying to equate the worth of individuals with their financial earnings, which has no real value.

emarkoff According to Norman Vincent Peale in The Power of Positive Thinking, the only ones of us who have no problems are in the cemetery. Therefore, it's all to be expected. We've just got to trust God to help us.

Being a good listener.

alokijon @alokijon (665) • Malaysia 31 Jan 11

In through out our lives, I am sure that there were many times we became the listening ears for our friends, family or relatives. They just need somebody that can listen to them. It doesn't matter whether we can solve their...

emarkoff I would suggest simply listening to their description of their concern and letting them work it out for themselves. It is easy to try to fill in too many blanks for others when most of us simply cannot know or understand totally what is going on with other...

Some may suggest to spend with your single friends or with your family, but how about if you spend it alone? How can you enjoy it?

emarkoff I agree with a lot of what you have to say. However, I must take exception to the idea of trying to get closer to perfection each day. I am having a problem with the concept as it does not promote the idea of unconditional love for oneself. If we strive to be...
