Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Underachieving: The expectations of society: 3 of 28
I am in my late 20s and was raised by a German mother and an Irish-French father. With that upbringing, I was taught (through their example) that hard work is an expectation and anything beyond that is a privilege or a luxury. Hard work was a daily expectation and anything beyond that was is a privilege or a luxury. Hard work... More..
Style & Beauty > Makeup Makeup for men: Marketing folly or about time?: 11 of 33
Is this seriously a question? In every way, I think makeup for men is a huge mistake. Men are fortunate to be accepted as they are; they are extremely handsome au natural. So, I think it would be ridiculous to ruin something that already works. I have never met a man and thought, "Wow, he would be really great if he evened o... More..
Sports & Recreation > Hockey Why hockey is a better sport than football: 4 of 11
Hockey is by far a better sport than football. Hockey is a game that is full of action with little down time. Hockey is at least sixty minutes of intensity; if the players stop, the clock stops.

Despite the misery that love sometimes bring, the majority of people are willing to believe tha... More..
Relationships & Family > Friendship Advice How to suggest marital counseling to a friend: 2 of 3
For the most part, our society does not consider professional "counseling" of any kind to be a worthy process. (I believe it is becoming more acceptable, but I do not think that the majority of people hold it in a very high regard-at least not yet.) Counseling seems to be perceived as something that a person seeks to fix the... More..
Style & Beauty > Tanning & Sunscreen Why should you stay out of sunlight: 2 of 3
Sunlight can be amazing for a number of obvious reasons; and let's face it, one of those reasons is because it can make us look extremely tan. When we are tan, our imperfections, blotchy skin, broken veins, etc. are somewhat hidden. It is wonderful in the moment, BUT it is not worth the long-term negative results. I am in th... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Astrology & Prophecy Returning to an ex repeatedly: Karma or weakness?: 66 of 72
People from all walks of life have been in or have known someone who has been in an on-again, off-again relationship. Even with a wealthy upbringing, a noteworthy education, or happily married parents-one may find him/herself in such a situation. Why? What is it that keeps us going back to something that apparently does not ... More..
