Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture How can I be sure of my salvation?

14 of 75

As I write, I am listening to loosing my religion by R.E.M. Not that I'm an atheist, I believe in a God. What bothers me, however, is that most people are too afraid to stand alone in what they believe. This to me shows little faith, and in I can't see how one could be worthy of salvation with such little faith.Recently I rea... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife Is Hell a real place or a metaphor to deter evil-doers?

22 of 105

I cannot see hell as a real place in that it limits one's love for God. This sounds like a very strong proclamation, but to me it is simple common-sense. I refuse to believe that a external force can punish me. For, to me one can, however unlikely, handle any sort of suffering. Suffering must be perceived to be known. So long... More..

Sciences > Psychology Individual vulnerabilities that may lead to anorexia

1 of 4

As a recovering anorexic, as one never fully recovers, I have come to realize that I need one thing above all others: connections. For nearly a decade after first developing anorexia, I was instructed by my parents, especially my dad, to care for myself. I needed to get good grades, exercise regularily, regulate my emotions (...

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Faith and reason: Search for truth

35 of 111

I have realized that I will never come to logically know truth, and am quite satisfied with this. I can not ever, therefore, tell a person what he or she must or must not do. I cannot decide for another human being; the choice is always their's. I, essentially, am no more important than anyone else.How could I be satisfied wi... More..

Sciences > Social Science (Other) How to make the most of personal development

Is Happiness DeservedWhat is it that all great Western philosophers argue is the ultimate "good?" Is it virtue, reason, or even love. It seems that from Socrates (via Plato) up until the present day the west has seen people as being imbued with the capability to reason, yet reason of course can be undeveloped and lead to extr...

Relationships & Family > Friendship Drama & Issues When and how to end a friendship

55 of 113

There is no right time or way to end a friendship. I think that the term friendship is in itself confusing. Some people have dozens of people they consider friend whereas others have very few, saying most people aren't worthy of their time. Both these ideas miss the point; individuals should associate with whoever they feel l... More..

Sciences > Psychology Why some people are afraid of dying, and some aren't

27 of 38

Death is not anything to be afraid of. Many people would now expect me to add "if one has lived their life well" or some other clause. But this then justifies that death can be something that humans can fear. I disagree, for to be human is not to fear death.If one protests that they are fully human, I would ask them to define...

Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Does technology impoverish the mind?

22 of 29

I think this question is determined by how we define "the mind." Intelligence is one way to do so, and certainly our technical world could improve upon our intelligence as we learn to think more quickly and efficiently. Yet, we could also define the mind by an ability that seems all but been forgotten, that is the ability to ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Family Values What are good family values to have?

7 of 9

As a resident of the United States, I feel I am told to accept unquestionably the inherent merit of "family values." Yet, this term has begun to have an ominous and sinister meaning to me, one which I can't help but feel nauseas about. I am here going to describe how my physiology could be so effected by such a seemingly neut... More..

Sciences > Psychology Taking control of your life: How to be a survivor instead of a victim

15 of 15

The begin with, the title of this article is extremely misleading. Since when should our lives be merely about survival? If humans can be said to differ from other animals, a general distinction to be made is that we are less instinctual than other animals. Clearly, then we can do more than survive in life. I would argue that... More..
