jumesbond I don't know the answer, but at least we know it has something to do with light. Maybe, by filling in the gaps between the threads in clothes or other materials, the water prevents light from getting through making it darker. It's ironic because water on its...

Any plansf for this year to enjoy life more?

aileen2008 @aileen2008 (838) • Philippines 29 Jan 11

I am 36, I realized that there are still places to see, things to do, knowledge to gain, more people to meet and more fears to overcome. I have been very busy and committed in working for my family and taking a rest during...

enjoy life

jumesbond That's my plan every year. (But for some reason I always fail at it.) I'm getting better at "enjoying life more", though. I guess I just have to remind myself to enjoy life instead of working so hard! I guess what's getting in the way is that I have so many...

“Love” – Is It Always and Only About Lovers?

theSids @thesids (22180) • Bhubaneswar, India 17 Jan 11

Hi all, Over the past so many months I have found so many discussions here at MyLot that have confined the meaning of the word “Love” applicable only to the Lovers. Even on generic discussions people tend to bring out their...

jumesbond I agree with you. I think it's important that people realize that you don't have a "lover" to love or be loved. When people forget that, they think they need a "lover" to be happy and not alone. To be happy in life you just need people who you love and who...

jumesbond People have difficulty believing what the don't want to believe even if there is proof and logic behind it. But, yes, we are related to monkeys. Just look at the way they move and their habits. Look at the Bonobo monkey especially. They make the same faces and...

Behind every untrusting girl is the boy who taught her to be that way ?

sweetgarg @sweetgarg (392) • India 16 Jan 11

what do you think this is true or do you think differently

6 responses

jumesbond I was untrusting even before here was a boy in my life. The opposite was true for me. I became a trusting girl after I met a boy who I could trust. I think there were lots of other people in my life who taught me not to trust such as family and friends.

Why do people gossip?

Jlyn @Jlyn10 (11965) • Malaysia 16 Jan 11

Everyday you will hear people talk about this person and that person. Why can't they just talk about themselves? Why do you think people like to gossip about others?

jumesbond I don't know. I have the same question! I don't like to talk about other people unless they are bothering me or I need to talk to someone about them. I think a lot of the time people like to talk about other people because something is bothering them. Someone...

jumesbond I actually find that I can talk to people on MyLot more about problems in my life than my "real world" friends. I can come to MyLot to discuss things happening in my life that I can't talk to my friends about. I also like MyLot because people are from all over...

Money, love, enjoyment, and parents which one you will select first? which is more important in your life?and why? For me first and foremost is love.then parents then enjoyment,least preference is for money. because I love...

jumesbond Love is first. It's very hard to be alone in life, and without love and good friendship life is pointless no matter how much money or enjoyment you have. Enjoyment is next for the same reason. If you can't get any enjoyment out of being alive, there is no...

jumesbond I agree that it's all about pain. Thinking about other people who are suffering helps sometimes but other times it can make you feel worse because you can fear more helpless seeing another person struggling. Sometimes it helps to look at people that are happy...

I Am Good! Is this Positive Thinking Or Being Egoistic?

theSids @thesids (22180) • Bhubaneswar, India 21 Dec 10

Hi MyLotters, I have been reading many stuff these days on Positive Thinking and many advocates believe that you should start with the thought - 1. You Are Good. 2. Everything around happens for...

jumesbond I don't think of positive psychology in that way. I think it's about not interpreting everything about you as bad or interpreting everything in the world as bad. For example, you have an allergy to peanuts. You could think that there is something wrong with...

Change what you can't accept, Accept what you can't change

Vnyard @Vnyard (286) • Philippines 20 Dec 10

I had this question in my mind for some time now. I hear a lot of people say "make it happen" and this really made me ask myself, why are they always saying that? Can't they just accept the fact that some things are just not going...

jumesbond Well, I agree with "change what you don't like, but accept it if you can't change it". Hypothetically, we are capable of doing anything, but it isn't necessarily worth it. What if you would have to dedicate all your time to accomplish it? What if you had to...

How do you show your other half that he/she is loved?

marionnete @marionnete (1) • Philippines 16 Dec 10

answers could be ways , things, and actions/gestures done to show love.

4 responses

jumesbond I think the best ways that show loves are the ones that happen naturally, without you having to think about it. They will be able to tell if you love them.

jumesbond I feel that way a lot of the time. When people give me gifts, I'm not sure if they are doing it because they care about me or because they are trying to claim something. It does make me uncomfortable when I receive gifts for that reason.

Are You a Sheltered Kid?

silver_song642 @silver_song642 (9) • United States 28 Nov 10

I used to be, and while it was okay to be watched over so much as a kid, it's much harder to accept now that I'm in college. I'm still expected to call/email how many times a day, with phone calls every friday night. Fridays are...

jumesbond I don't know if I would say I was sheltered. It's more like I was overprotected. My parents often wouldn't like me make my own decisions and would always be asking me questions to make sure I was doing things the way that they thought was right. I know someone...

7 responses

jumesbond Yes, I agree with everything you have said. You put it into words very nicely. I also often wonder if other people feel the same way about music as I do and if they have the same experience that I do when they listen to it!
