I have heard people say that they want to have a family, lots of friends, children, grandchildren and what not. I want to have friends but I cannot have a family. By the end of my life, I want to be alone, not with anybody,...

karimjessa I agree with you entirely. In everything you've said, including the fact that you're an atheist, I'm with you. Even though wishing to be alone, however, it would be worthwhile meeting someone like you, just for a brief moment.
The reason I say this is that...

A lot of the time we find happiness and content when we are doing things that we love or make us happy. What are some of the things that you are working on or soon to be working on to improve yourself. I'm personally wanting to be...

I read a story a while ago, it really touched me.
A wife came to her husband and said "do you want to strengthen our marrige? I know a way. Let's write down things that we find annoying with each other and talk about how to fix...

karimjessa You'll have to forgive me if I find fault with the story.
It would have been perfect if both had chosen not to have any list; and both had decided their partner was perfect. But that's asking too much, obviously.
And then, the seed of dissatisfaction was...

For past one month I am...

I realized through my experiences that quitting does not always mean losing. In some cases, it can be the best thing to do.
For example, if a job or a relationship is bringing out the worst in me, and I have exhausted all means...

One of the most common arguments I get into on this site is with strong supporters of Capitalism. It usually happens when they defend the ideology that says the market should decide how a society is run. This justifies, for...

karimjessa I'm not a supporter of Capitalism. But I'm told that it's because I don't have any money to begin with. If I did, I would probably support Capitalism.
I don't know if that's true. I think I know myself quite well. Yet I'm not sure what I'd become if I was a...

Would you prefer to post your articles to Adsense revenue sharing sites or those that pay you a certain amount per 1000 page views?
When I started writing online in 2009, I wrote for Helium and Associated Content.
Both sites...

karimjessa Hi Scheng,
For starters, I can't go the Adsense route because I'm in the position Vijayanths says. I have been banned from Google Adsense due to some misunderstanding (on their part, I must add.)
So I can only submit to sites which have their own account...

It seems to me that there is no substantive difference between the two standard sides of politics. The politicians who actually reach senior level are basically of a type, either hard-line ideologues or obsessive pragmatists,...

karimjessa I shall begin by agreeing wholeheartedly with your thoughts and sentiments. What I say is more in the sense of fine-tuning than anything else.
First of all, I was very much surprised to read that voting is compulsory in Australia. How can that be possible?...

One of the first questions strangers or acquaintances tend to ask each other is 'so what do you do?' How do you answer this? Do you truly define yourself or your significant other based on your job or job title? Is this a fair...

This is geared mainly towards Canadians, but anyone else can respond, I think it has relevance for pretty much everyone here.
I just read an outrageous comment made by someone about soldiers going to war.
He said that the...

karimjessa You said this is geared mainly towards Canadians. I'm a Canadian, but the comment I make is not made as a Canadian, nor do I in any way feel that I speak for Canadians. I think this is a human issue, and everyone who comments, whether Canadian or not, will be...
