Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 35 of 428

Imagine this; a sixteen year old girl falls pregnant and then gives the baby away. The baby lands up in a state run orphanage and abused and neglected. To my mind that is cruelty of the worst kind. The Mother Grundy's out there are more than willing to sit in judgment because they are personally removed from the problem. They... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Attraction: 1 of 7
I see you in my minds eye in a hazy way. We have not met but know we will some day. My soul hears a melody resonating from you, Its sad and lonely and not knowing what to do.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Who am I?: 11 of 63
I think that I spend far too much time in my own head and often think in circles because of it. In my meanderings through my various internal dialogs, the question of who I am, comes up fairly frequently. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could define who you were without a shadow of a doubt and feel safe and comforted in that ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life How to accept aging, sickness and the possibility of death: 8 of 35
I, myself alternate between acceptance and fear of death. At my most detached I can envision the moment of passing on, be it peaceful or otherwise, as the way things should be. Other days I think of what a waste and I fear for myself, my children and my husband. My message to my three kids has always been pragmatic. Ashes to... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights What is spirituality?: 25 of 74

Spirituality is quite simply a state of being where one is in tune with ones self and the world around us. The basic principle being that if you do the right thing then harmony follows. Everyone knows when they are doing the right thing, your gut will always tell you. The tell tale sign of disharmony is that hollow feeling in... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft Pagan/Wiccan fashion: Should we all wear black: 8 of 21
I think that to start labelling ourselves by wearing black, carrying pentacles and dyeing our hair would be tantamount to turning wicca into an organized religion as opposed to a way of life. Wicca is essentially about listening to your inner voice and honouring mother nature as it were. Trying to be a better person and treat... More..

It is, but it shouldn't be. Even when a family member is downright abusive and toxic we tend to gravitate towards them.Have you ever felt that helplessness associated with conflict in your family?
