Do you know people who seem to take some weird pleasure in being angry all the time? I know several people who are always upset about something, whether it is about politics, their spouse or the treatment they received at the...

trillium Oh, that's an insightful comment, magtibaygom! I wish more people would be in better control of their emotions and not allow events or other people to disturb their peace of mind. Nice contribution, thanks!

Roger Federer was nearly ousted in the first round of Wimbledon by little known Columbian Alejandro Falla. Falla won the first two sets 7-5 6-4, before Federer came back from the dead to win the next three sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-0 to...

trillium I ram_cv (3037)! Thanks for the post! I love it that an "unknown" like Falla can come out strong and challenge one of the tennis elite. As with so many sports, it can sometimes be a bit dull when the same people are always on top. Although I like Federer and...

I had seen these kind of people quite often. They thought that they got beauty, and they got everything. Men should bow down to their beauty, and obey their commands. They always got free lunch, and men would pay for them...

trillium Hi swetashah (185)! I agree that these kind of people (men or women really) are quite obnoxious. Just one insight I wanted to add is this story. I know an 18 year old woman who has always been pretty. Unfortunately, her mom has raised her to think she is a...

trillium Thanks Professor2010, I appreciate your comment. Yes, indeed there are degrees of anger. Most angry people I know stew about stuff or rant among their family and friends. I don't know anyone "scary angry" and that's a blessing! Positive people are more fun,...

trillium Thanks petersum. Maybe I am misunderstanding. My brother-in-law, for instance, seems to show only anger as an emotion. Unless he's angry he's like a knot on a log - nothing to say. But, if I bring up some event that he's ticked about, boy does he get animated...

Oh goody. It is update day. The joy of Microsoft Windows updates swells my heart as I look at the little icon on the bottom of the screen telling me that it is time to obey and install the latest updates to my computer. Maybe...

trillium Goody indeed. I went through a day last week stuck in security update hell. I don't know much about computers, especially Microsoft and I don't have any computer friends who can help. So, when I went to the Microsoft "help & support" section I couldn't believe...

trillium This kind of person is a blessing to encounter. I'd say she has learned how to be grateful for the basic things of life. And, I believe gratitude is the path to joy. To wake up each morning and be thankful that you've made another trip around the sun is to...

trillium We all sin now and then, even after we have accepted Christ. The trick is to form habits where sinning occurs less and less. This is why we so desperately neeed a relationship with the Lord. When I find I am tempted by sinful thoughts, I get my Bible out and...

trillium Yes, I know this kind of story becasue my mom and dad were the same way. My mom had Alzheimer's and my dad used to say the same thing, that even though she did not know him, he knew her and that's what mattered. The day of her funeral, my dad complained about...

trillium Well, BethTN81, despite the unfairness of the situation, it is often the folks who are on the front lines dealing with customers who run into a**holes just wanting to cause trouble. The thing I try to keep in mind is the law of karma - what goes around comes...
