Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Does insomnia help or hinder creativity?: 51 of 80
Insomnia is often a symptom of mental illness, such as depression, an illness I am sadly familiar with because I suffer from it. I can tell you this: If you sometimes have a problem sleeping and find yourself awake, this may be a good time to be productive and creative. If you regularly have a problem sleeping, you have a pr... More..
Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts New Age: Thought process or religion?: 9 of 13
New Age is NOT a religion. Repeat, NOT a religionyet. And when it becomes a religion, will it be called New Age? Maybe. Maybe not. If not, then humans of this new religion will look back, fondly, I think, to the roots of their religion, to this thing we call "New Age". Is New Age this ridiculous mlange of goofy concepts and ...

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 300 of 428
To take away the woman's freedom to choose is to define her as a mechanism, little more than chattel. This is a political maneuver that causes an imbalance of power.

A few years after my son was born and 9/11 happened, I had a sever depressive break. That may not be the clinical term, but close enough. I didn... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality Philosophy: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?: 57 of 67
The chicken came first. The egg implies gestation of an inchoate substance. With this comes the possibility of evolution and change. With the chicken, we have the final outcome, the fully formed essence of what the egg came to be. If we can arrive at the source, the desideratum of all being, we will have found ourselves full...

Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles A guy's view: How to talk about the future: 16 of 16
You really like this guy. Maybe you love him. Have you talked about that? Has he said, "I love you." ? Have you said it? Maybe he's leading you on. Do your friends know him? I'm not saying you have to take him home to meet the family. You do, however, want to have opinions from those you trust. You don't have to listen to al... More..
