Belief in God

1vishva @1vishva (10) • United States 12 Mar 08

geishagirl I view hatred as a gift. It is a catalyst for change or a reminder of what we do not want in our lives. But it is important not to let the hate control us or cause us to do something that would harm another being. I know that it is popular to view hatred as...

I don't want to have to get rid of my dog, but I am afraid I might have to. I'm hoping someone has some good advise for me so that I don't have to. It's a long story so bare with me. We had to go to out of state to pick up...

geishagirl I am so sorry this happened to you!! First off, dogs don't do things out of spite, that is purely a human emotion. :) Your dog was starved and more than likely had little human interaction during those ten days and is reacting to it. During that time, she...

geishagirl Interesting that people view those that work online from home as lazy, but when you do the same thing in an office you are considering a productive member of society? That is kind of a harsh observation. For me it is the freedom. I am sick of office...

geishagirl I enjoyed Dagny's character also. She was the smarter of the siblings, the one that had the vision to see that following the herd was not a good idea. Her independent thinking is what keep me reading the book.
