Can you forgive and forget easily?

laura_lmaxi @laura_lmaxi (678) • United States 1 Mar 10

I can be a very nice person, I like to help people, but I am also very sensitive, so when someone that I love hurt me, it is very hard for me, and my reaction is cut ties with him/her. My reaction is always cut ties with the...

greatsasuke Yes, I can. This is one of the main spiritual rules of most religions. There is a practical reason I try to do this as well. I am hurting myself if I continue to harbor any enmity towards anyone. We all know about the mental anguish, but it also produces...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 2 Mar 10

Here's a question. Should friends keep secrets? Do you keep secrets from your friends, either here on Mylot or in real life. Here's a secret, something I've never told anyone online. I am partially deaf in my right ear,...

greatsasuke As for the question, I feel some things should never be told to anyone. I think there are certain things even family and close friends don't want to know. Maybe it was a mistake you made or an accident, that won't do you or your friend any good by hearing it....

greatsasuke It may seem that way, but I think atheist will also negate any kind of God (whether personal or impersonal and from any kind of religion or belief system) . I don't think all atheist look down on religions, though. For example, Buddhist are considered atheists...

greatsasuke I don't really have an etiquette per say, just the natural etiquette, which includes no burping, farting, or talking with a mouthful of food at the table. If I am eating with people who eat with their hands, I will do so, as well. If they are eating with a...

When walking down the street, do you look up or down?

veromar @veromar (1453) • Argentina 19 Feb 10

greatsasuke To tell you the truth I think I do both. I have never really paid attention to whether I look up more or down more. I can tell you I have spotted things on the ground before. I can also tell you that I am always aware of my surroundings, as well. So, if I had...

agrant10 @agrant10 (1476) • United States 18 Feb 10

greatsasuke I think it depends on how severe the threat was. If it was regarding some terrorist act or similar to anything like that I would definitely report it. If it was something towards someone they knew and I didn't, I probably wouldn't because I would not know who...

cintoy @cintoy (1011) • Indonesia 7 Feb 10

greatsasuke I think it is because of your attitude that you see life more happy than sad. Good for you. I also see life as a mix of good and bad, but I guess it depends on what we focus on which represents how we see life. For me, life is more happiness, not necessarily...
